The Pinsa Romano pizza was great, as was the traditional NY style. The antipasto salad was also amazing. We will definitely go back. And the service was perfect. Very attentive waitperson. :) If you haven't been, go check out this hidden gem.

We had invited friends to join us for dinner and picked Tavola for the restaurant. We had not been there before but it got great ratings. It was great, everyone loved it. Food was delicious, we had pizza, chicken marsala and some great wine. We will go back!

I took some friends there before a comedy show. I hadn't been for a while and missed it. Same friendly people, awesome delicious food, and my friends said they would definitely go back. It's one of the Hillcrest gems. Go there and be impressed!
