Best

I'm very particular about food service, and this place is definitely high up on the list. The waiter (I forgot to get his name) was very nice and served us with a smile. The food ...

Worst

The waitress was rude to the point of telling us that she wasn't worried about a tip becuase it was already figured into the bill! Cons: bad service, food not that good

Good Value 11/23/2004

La Tavola remains one of my VH favorites. The 5th Group has this one down right. I don't know why the have such a problem with Sala. While the italian food may not be the best you have ever had, it is definitely good and consistent. The service has always been good, but because it is so small they tend to rush you a bit on a weekend night, so mid week is recommended. Pros: value, service, consistent Cons: , small & cramped more

Kckin' Seervice 6/9/2004

My wife and I went for an early evening dinner before the show at the Variety Playhouse. We had remembered Capos that had resided there in our Emory days. Stopped in on a whim. Wonderful ambiance. Our waitress was superb, giving us good info on the wine list. Chef came by the table and chatted. Was very helpful and spoke about the vision for the restaurant within the community....lots of locals there for a meal. Good food, well presented. I particularly liked the veal....side spinach was excellent. Pros: service, food, reasonable Cons: , tight space, parking more

Can be a great time 5/11/2003

La Tavola can be a really wonderful experience depending on your seat and your waiter. The food is usually very solid. I've had a weak waiter or two that sort of diminished the experience some. The wine is always overpriced. more

Fun Experience 3/20/2003

The place has a great, sleek decor which is neither overbearing or full of itself. Just refreshing and cool. Service was very attentive and with a reservationw e were seated within 5 minutes on a packed night. Food was a bit heavy, but quality. Great tastes and totally delicious. Overall a really nice experience that should rate as one of the Highlands' best. Only complaint was the price: bit much for the food. I feel like you're paying for the location - somebody's gotta pay the rent! more

Pleasant but not perfect 10/28/2002

The food is well, okay. I go there for the baked manicotti, and I do enjoy the bread. The rest of the menu hasn't really impressed me (the pork, risotto, lasagna-all just okay). The Caesar salad tends to be heavy on the dressing. The space is pleasant enough & I've never had poor service, but it wouldn't be on my list for top italian. more

My dream restaurant 8/20/2002

Very rarely does one establishment capture all aspects of the dining experience--food, service, and atmosphere. Not only does La Tavola do this, but they do it better than anywhere else I have dined in Atlanta. They greet you by name, treat you like royalty, and serve you the best Italian food in Atlanta time after time after time. And to top it off, it's a great value with a fabulous wine list. A must try for anyone! Pros: Great Food, Outstanding Service, Great Location more

Heavenly 8/6/2002

For Italian food lovers, La Tavola is a little slice of heaven. The food is fantastic; make sure to check out the daily risotto, which is cooked to perfection--not too firm, not too soft. The ambience is mature and sophisticated--lots of dark wood, intimate booths, mirrors on the walls. The staff is young and friendly and the drinks are strong and promptly served. It's a small space, so be prepared to wait for a table--but its definitely worth it. Cons: Crowded more

great Italian food and service 6/6/2002

La Tavola is a very nice smaller restaurant in Va-Hi. I made reservations and we were seated promptly. Try the antipasto tray app. to start off with. We had manicotti, chees ravioli with sage butter sauce, and seared scallops (one of the specials). Our server David was very helpful in making decisions and very friendly as well. I highly recommend this place but I have only been once and it was very recent. more

Good service, decent pasta 5/15/2002

My husband and I wandered into this place for dinner while shopping in the Highlands. Though it was fairly busy, we were seated quickly--a nice spot on the narrow strip of patio out back. Service was attentive and efficient. Our pasta dishes were good, but not spectacular. more
