Food is absolutely wonderful here. I split ragu, gnocchi, and short rib here and all were delicious. The service here was great too. My waiter gave us a small wine pairing with the short rib simply because he knew it would enhance the flavor even though we didn’t order it. It’s small gestures like this that sets A Tavola apart. It’s a perfect intimate date spot in a very inconspicuous location. I cannot recommend this place enough!
