Executive Chef Craig Richards came to La Tavola after 5 years of training under Lidia Bastianich, where he received invaluable knowledge of the Italian-American kitchen. He took the culinary world by storm at Lidia's Kansas City, working his way up from senior line cook to sous chef. Our menu features progressive variations on classic Italian dishes coupled with a reasonably priced wine list.

    Like La Tavola? Try the Food Studio, Sala or South City Kitchen--they're owned by the same folks.

    La Tavola's wine list is extensive, creative and award-winning. Best of all, you can take home any unfinished bottles, so there's no excuse not to indulge a little.

we had a reservation for New Year's eve. The hostess seated us outside and when we requested a different table basically told us "tough". Extremely rude hostess. wonderful waitress and great food.

Pros: great food, good service (besides hostess)

Cons: small cramped space, patio is not always comfortable, maybe it would help to specify a table preference with the reservation

BEST BRUNCH Atlanta is MISSING!!

I went to La Tavola a few weeks ago with my mother for brunch. We were a little apprehensive because it did not have the crowd seen at a neighboring establishment we typically frequent. I was overwhelming delighted with my experience at La Tavola. From the moment I walked in the door until the completion of our visit I was impressed with every aspect. We were greeted pleasently by a cute, witty, and delightful hostess (I think her name was Terra). As she gathered our menu, a tall blonde bar tender graciously bade us "Good Morning" and stated he hoped we "enjoyed our brunch" We were seated and within moments, our server greeted us at the table. Kellie was vibrant and knowledgable about the menu and the preparation of some of the dishes. We decided to start our meal by splitting a beat salad. It was DELICIOUS!! Beats, pears, and fresh goat cheese!! YUMMMM!! I then ordered the Chicken Sausage (house made sausage in a FABULOUS pepper chutney) and my mother got the the Egg Canneloni (spinach and mushrooms in creamy sauce) Both were OUTSTANDING! (we ended up sharing). We decided we would indulge and ended our meal by sharing a slice of the chocolate cake...it was so creamy and delictible! On our way out, the manager greeted us and asked us about our meal. We were then encouraged not only to return to La Tavola but to visit some of the sister restaurants. The hostess held the door for us and we left well nourish and excited to continue our day! I can not believe I've wasted years frequenting other brunch establishments when this one was under my nose the whole time! I also could not believe the restaurant was not packed! I highly recommend Brunch at La Tavola. You will NOT be disappointed!

Great Italian

I've eaten here many times and the food is excellent. The waitstaff can be a little sitff but the food makes up for it. Busy on weekends so be prepared. Order a drink and sit outside and watch the people. If you're cold natured don't sit in the outside patio seating!!

Pros: great food

Cons: service can be a little iffy
