EaterOctober 5, 2011Unassuming, yet full of heart, this underrated Virginia-Highland jewel is where you go when you crave simple Italian food done right. The Monday night pasta special ($10) is a deal. [Eater 38 Member]
Josh WeissJune 13, 2018The pappardelle with meat sauce tends to be my favorite, but squid ink linguine also amazing. Can't go wrong with any pasta. Caesar Salad is legendary. Great spot in a cool area--date night/couples.- Roy BrockFebruary 27, 2019I am a die hard fan of Italian food, and one of my friends recommended me this place. The food was delicious and I would love to hang out here again with my friends.Upvoted Nov 30, 2024
Vani VahalAugust 19, 2014Mushroom ragu pasta is by far one of the best dishes hands down! Wine list is always delish & service is always above & beyond! ;)Upvoted Nov 30, 2024
a wJuly 17, 2015It's kind of expensive, and i believe it requires reservations, but it has great atmosphere, staff, and food. This is a great restaurant for dates as well.
Tatiana HanJuly 25, 2014Comp valet @ Wells Fargo lot. Order app-size primis; basically same portions as regular but $5 cheaper! <3'd the basil spaghetti, squid ink linguini a bit too salty, flourless choco cake is perfection

Delicious food and great wine list. Best Caesar salad! Order 2 appetizer sizes of pasta if you can't make a decision. A little taste of NYC in Atlanta. Ali and Kris behind the bar are the best!
Caitlin HJuly 21, 2013Best dinner ever. Ordered bruschetta , beer & arugula salad, spaghetti and veal meat balls and finished off with the tiramisu. So amazing!
Sam LackFebruary 14, 2019The sfincione was terrific, as was the ricotta; and the bolognese was delicious! Great vibe, very cozy.
Forget Murphy's and the wait. Sun brunch @ La Tavola, I couldn't decide: Challah French Toast,perfectly poached eggs across bfast faves(sausages,steak & bruschetta). My buddy said,"That was awesome."
Creative Loafing AtlantaAugust 5, 2014Unfortunately, we landed on an evening when the restaurant had run out of the basil panna cotta with tomato-caramel sauce and crispy tomato skins. Read more
Kerstin LangMarch 31, 2013Awesome and very authentic Italian restaurant. Wonderful porch seating! We enjoyed a great Easter dinner here. Mmmmmhhhh.
Olivia FabbroOctober 27, 2015I liked the mushroom Ragu but I wasn't craaazy about it. The chicken was really good though and my family loved the spaghetti

Alexandre MunhozNovember 26, 2023Unfortunately my family and I had a bad experience having left in table literally inside the kitchen. If only the food was outstanding, but it wasn’t. It was just fine. Zuppa di pesce was descent.
J. Walker SmithDecember 19, 2011Eat at the bar. Alli and Chris are beyond amazing (and let them introduce you to a bottle of red).
GET the strawberry crostata... Do it. It's my favorite desert. Anywhere. Ever.
Joseph MathiasAugust 23, 2010Brunch is amazing and reasonably priced! The french toast and smoked salmon crustini were out of this world.
The mushroom ragu is amazing! So is the Meyer lemon olive oil cake for dessert
The Tagliatelle Bolognese is so good your face will melt.Upvoted Nov 30, 2024
MD DebranskiApril 8, 2011Do not skip dessert. Flourless chocolate cake. Cheesecake... Well worth the only dessert I'll have for a few weeks.
Eat that salty chocolate cake! It is the most amazing thing you'll ever eat.
Katherine McLemoreSeptember 12, 2011Wonderful service, unique and tasteful food, awesome little restaurant!
Joseph RicciardelliFebruary 5, 2011The bruschetta is outstanding and the tomatoes are obviously incredibly fresh.
Don't miss Molto Mondays--you can choose from at least three different pasta dishes for only $10 each! Read more
