Great lunch at La Tavola. We felt the food choices were extensive. Both the vegetarians in our group and the meat eaters were easily accommodated. The service was excellent and the atmosphere elegant. With my gluten free limitations Italian restaurants aren't always the best choice...for me. The chef's homemade gluten free pasta was the best I've eaten anywhere. The waiter conveyed my compliments and the chef came out to meet us. Very nice!More

Very pleased with our experience. The servers are friendly and knowledgeable. The cannoli was so fresh and wonderful. Also recommended is the veal and cheesecake.

Even making the reservation for 5 was a delight. Friendly and respectful. Then to be welcomed, shown a table to accommodate our needs was refreshing. The competent and delightful waiter explained the night's specials. The pasta, the fish, the veal dishes lived up to their...descriptions. Down to the desert and coffee! We were not rushed and enjoyed the experience as well as the food. It has been a long time since we've eaten out. Bravo!More

I heard much about La Tavola, so on a recent trip to Baltimore, it was the first restaurant we tried. The three of us got a variety of dishes, and we only truly loved the cheesecake for dessert. I tried the special, clams and calamari...with squid ink noodles. The noodles were overcooked, and while the calamari was terrific, the dish was muddled in a sauce that was uninspired. My wife's veal was overcooked, and the bread, which should be a staple in an Italian restaurant, was dry. I loved the service and the atmosphere. Just wish the food was better.More

My husband and I went for an early dinner and we had a great time. The service was amazing, our waitress Di made the best recommendations and we loved our dishes. All in all, the food, service and ambiance were great. A lovely authentic Italian...spot.More

This restaurant in Baltimore’s Little Italy neighborhood has wonderful gluten free Italian food. Eating here is like dining with family. I never tire of eating here. The chef is very accommodating. When the kitchen is not very busy, he will make fritto misto (fried calamari)...gluten free! This is the only restaurant I know - in the entire DC/Baltimore area - that offers gluten free fried calamari. They also have home made gluten free pasta (strofe). I attach a few photos. Strofe is a thin and small pasta, about an inch long. Almost all the pasta dishes are gluten free when you use the gluten free strofe. In addition to the regular menu there are always daily specials. Right now, because it is near Valentine’s, they are offering a heart shaped gluten free dessert the chef calls “love”. I attach a photo. It is a heart shaped cookie with mascarpone cheese. All I care about is that it tasted great! They recently refreshed their wine list to feature wonderful Italian wines. The chef also has the ability to procure incredibly fresh vegetables and fruits all year round. He has a commercial fisherman’s license so in the summer he goes fishing in the morning and then serves the fish he caught that day at the restaurant. It's really hard to find fish that are more fresh. I should mention they do not have a dedicated gluten free kitchen. But I eat here frequently and I can happily say I have never gotten sick. The food is always great. The service is consistently good. I highly recommend this restaurant.More

Delicious options off of their restaurant week menu! They also had a special cocktail, named "Kentucky Chai". Concocted with a housemade syrup, this drink resembled a Chai Old Fashion. Would love to see it as a staple on their menu.

La Tavola is truly a wonderful dining experience. The owner/manager walked around and greeted each guest and made sure that our food was presented artistically and prepared fresh and delicious. The waiter/waitress was very attentive and made sure that we were happy with our meal....We went during restaurant week and the food was delightful from start to finish!More

we were celebrating my friends birthday so decided to try La Tavola. we ordered bruschetta, mozzarella and tomatoes and for main we ordered gnocchi and eggplant. the mozzarella and tomatoes were decent, the bread and mozzarella for the bruschetta were good and the sauce for...both the eggplant and gnocchi was disappointing as it had no flavor. we did ordered drinks and those were good so overall good drinks and decent appetizersMore

Service was spot on, and I have eaten a lot of good meals in my day, but this meal was beyond outstanding. From apps to dessert, this dinner is something of the rarest dreams. My explanation of the dishes we had wouldn’t do them justice,...but we did have two of the specials. Only down fall is that everything was too good it might turn into a special occasion spot instead of just go and eat. Either way, definitely worth the stop by, beyond excellentMore

If you’re looking for an amazing authentic Italian meal, come to La Tavola. The food is so good and fresh and the service is amazing. Our waiter Javier was so attentive and pleasant. I drive from DC to here, when I’m in the mood for...real Italian food. I highly recommend.More

Our party of six enjoyed lunch here on Christmas Eve, tucked nicely in a corner table. Around the table: Calamari Fritti, light and crispy; Lasagna, fresh pasta and Béchamel, as it should be; Trenette al Pesto, also housemade and perfectly sauced; the Squid Ink pasta...special, balanced and flavorful; and a Seafood Pasta special that had me sneaking my fork over to my husband's plate for nibbles. Whenever there are too many delicious items on an Italian menu I ask for Spaghetti Aglio e Olio, pasta with garlic and olive oil, even if it is not on the menu. This dish, to me, is a hallmark that when prepared properly, is luscious in its simplicity. La Tavola did not disappoint. With our lunch we enjoyed a Chianti that played well with every dish. Everything about this lunch was lovely. We'll definitely return.More
