“Amazing Real Italian Pizza in the heart of Cincinnati”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 12, 2012

If you haven't been to A Tavola yet, go! This place has an urban vibe and is right in the heart of the revival of Over The Rhine in Downtown Cincinnati. I would siggest to go early beacuse there can be a long wait, but that just tells you how amazing the food is. After a recent trip to Italy, I couldn't wait to go back to A Tavola for some real Italian pizza. The Appetizers are all amazing(love the Arancini!) and the pizza is too die for. Everything comes out super quick so once you sit down you don't have to wait long for your food. They also have an extensive beer/wine list and don't foget to finish out the night with some of their authentic gelato. They even have seats at the pizza bar where you can watch the pizza makers do their magic. Love this place, please do yourself a favor and GO!

“Trendy but good”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 27, 2012

The food was definitely different from your average pizza parlor. We visited around 6pm on a Friday night and it was a 35 minute wait for a table for two, which wasn't bad, but we had plans afterward so we decided to sit at the bar instead of wait. The bar staff was excellent; personable and knowledgeable. The seating at the bar however was cramped and uncomfortable. We took the recommendation of the staff and tried the date appetizers wrapped in bacon. They were very good, sweet and savory, but the portion size was a bit tiny for the price. For the main entree we had the artichoke pizza, which was delicious. The goat cheese mixed with the pesto was a great combination. Overall a good experience, though a bit pricey for our weekly budget.

“A reason to leave the suburbs”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 6, 2012

Wee finally decided to try this restaurant in Over The Rhine with some friends. We were advised to go early (or late) and we got there at a little after 5. Good thing; there was a line by the time we left. Valet parking is available at the curb a little before the restaurant but is not well marked. We really enjoyed the stuffed dates and also the roasted broccoli. The pizza have unusual combinations (and very thin crusts). All of us shared three pizzas and the fig prosciutto was the hands down favorite. We truly enjoyed the meal and plan to go back again.

I live in Cincinnati but feel like I'm on vacation when I come here. This place has a great vibe, fantastic pizzas, good beer and wine list, interesting crowd. Convenient parking lot close at hand.
