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

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.

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

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

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

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 H

Best dinner ever. Ordered bruschetta , beer & arugula salad , spaghetti and veal meat balls and finished off with the tiramisu . So amazing!

Sam Lack

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

Cathy Llewellyn

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."

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

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.
