    Started off with their Black Manhattan (Woodford bourbon) & Verdicchio as cocktails - very good. Salads & gnocchi (butter, sage) were excellent. Shortribs as the main entrees were perfect. Friendly and attentive service made for a wonderful dining experience.

    RUN to A Tavola for the mushrooms! They are marinated for 2-3 days and are an absolute delight.

    Delicious meal at a non-pretentious neighborhood locale. Simple Italian recipes but high quality ingredients. Several vegetarian options.

    Nice quiet and quaint place for dinner but food wasn’t very impressive. Wait staff was very kind and ambience was nice as well.

    Every course was better than the last. Our service was impeccable. The cocktails and wine superb. Our all star courses were the mushrooms, gnocchi, ragu, bolognese, the short rib and the sea bass. And the chocolate flourless cake and pana cotta. We cannot wait to come back and do it all over again.

    Our dining experience at A Tavola was tip-top in terms of cozy ambiance and excellent, attentive service. The cocktails were inspired, especially a not-too-sweet limoncello martini. The grilled portobello starter and the lamb main course were done to perfection...the clams and mussels appetizer was very tasty though would have enjoyed a larger portion. Short ribs over saffron risotto looked "tired" and dry...tagliatelle alla bolognese was "ok"...not very authentic-tasting bolognese. Over-all very good, but somewhat disappointing food service compared to earlier experience at A Tavola.

    What a lovely evening celebrating my friends birthday. The food was delicious, the service excellent and the ambiance was very charming. A little pricey for the amount of food but over all I would recommend. The menu is a little limited . They offered a complimentary dessert with candle to top the evening off. A sweet little secret place…
