Hands down, one of the best Italian restaurants in the city. We love the city vibe, open kitchen and sexy bar. The stand out item for is always the spaghetti with veal meatballs. Read more

Unassuming, 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]

The 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.

This elegant Virginia-Highland spot fills up as quickly as the hand-rolled pasta fills your stomach. The narrow dining room mimics a traditional Italian trattoria with exposed brick and open kitchen. Read more

With some of the best pastas in town, you don't want to miss La Tavola's $10 pasta special. For that price, you'll want to come back for their happy hour and $5 appetizers. Read more

I 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.

It'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.

Comp 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

Duck casarecce, lasagna, and flourless chocolate cake were all heavenly! Can't wait to go back and try more of the menu items!

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!

Mushroom ragu pasta is by far one of the best dishes hands down! Wine list is always delish & service is always above & beyond! ;)

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."

The sfincione was terrific, as was the ricotta; and the bolognese was delicious! Great vibe, very cozy.

Unfortunately, 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

Every single thing on the menu is delicious. Grilled calamari = you're not ready. Desserts can't be done justice with words. (+sit at the bar, bartenders are AMAZING) Read more

The Va-Hi restaurant's dedication to quality is seen immediately in the delicious bread. Also the Burrata here is the perfect consistency. Read more

The Tomato and basil spaghettini with veal meatballs isa bright, tart red sauce coats impossibly thin spaghettini that just begs to be slurped up greedily. Read more

Unfortunately 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.

Smoked Salmon Crostini...one of the best I've had for brunch! Try it :)
