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
