    This is my third time to have the chicken cacciatore, but where was the tomato sauce? I don’t believe I’ve ever had it without a sauce that had a tomato base. It was good but not as delicious as in the past.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us! We truly appreciate your continued visits and are glad to hear that you enjoyed the chicken cacciatore, though we’re sorry to hear it didn’t meet your expectations this time. We wanted to let you know that when we first opened, we served the dish with a tomato-based sauce. However, based on feedback from our guests, we made the decision to evolve the recipe and create a new style of cacciatore. we understand that change can be surprising, especially when you’ve enjoyed the previous version. We look forward to welcoming you back and hopefully providing a dish that exceeds your expectations! Thank you again for your continued support! Warm regards, Valerio General Manager

    This was our third time eating at Tavola, and it was disappointing. The food was not as good as the first 2 times, the portions were smaller, my pasta was flavorful but not delivered warm . My husband had the truffle risotto special. which was too salty and highly overpriced. Service was prompt and professional. Noise level was high enough to make conversation difficult.
    TavolaResponded 1 day ago
    Dear Karen We pride ourselves on offering generous portions, so we’ll definitely look into the size of the dishes during your visit to ensure consistency. We also apologize that your pasta wasn’t delivered at the proper temperature. We’ll work with our kitchen team to make sure this is addressed. As for the noise level, we appreciate you bringing this up. We’re in the process of installing carpet in the restaurant in the next three weeks to help reduce the sound and create a more comfortable atmosphere for our guests. We hope you'll give us another chance to make your next visit more enjoyable. Warm regards, Valerio General Manager

    We were a group of 3 & went early as we were going to the symphony. The valet parking was smooth & easy. The servers were helpful, accommodating and efficient. They assisted with choosing drinks & ensured we had an overall great experience. Everyone loved their choice of entrees, which included 2 lasagnas and sides for the table included the best beet salad ever(!), roasted potatoes, brussel sprouts & fried artichoke hearts. The fried artichokes were so delicious & such a terrific addition to our meal. Will definitely go back & bring more friends!

    The service was very good. There were a couple of misses with the food; salmon not cooked to temperature and carpaccio not sliced thin enough but would return and give the benefit of the doubt!

We're thrilled to hear that you were pleased with the service, but we sincerely apologize for the issues with the salmon and carpaccio.
