    We were seated promptly. Service was good without being intrusive. Food was to everyone’s liking. We were not rushed.

    The spaghetti was ordered by two individuals and both were bad, spaghetti not cooked through and sour tasting fish, and too many mushrooms in the penne. Service was great, but if there’s an opportunity it is if there are special occasions maybe it should be communicated to the server so we don’t have to as guests. Overall I have to agree with some other reviews the food was ok you can get a better experience at Olive Garden for half the price.

    Had a great experience. Pleasant service, good food. We had the antipasto misto and split the tortelloni pomodoro. The restaurant split the dish on their own and brought it out which was unexpected and very nice. There’s not explicit kid’s menu, but they made a penne with butter for our daughter and charged appropriately. Was a really nice evening.

    We were a party of 6. Our Waite staff couldn’t have been more accommodating and pleasant. The food was wonderful all around. I highly recommend Tavolino.

    It seems to our party of four that the portions have declined. This is a place we have been going to for 6 years. The waiter brought the wrong order to one of the people art our table which was corrected but a wait.

    The food and cocktails were very good. The only downfall to our service was waiter was given too much territory to cover. We waited for some needs after food was served because of this. Otherwise it was a great restaurant.

    Good food, though very loud. So loud, my partner and I could not carry on a conversation. We also felt a little forgotten by the waitstaff.
