    Very attentive service and nice presentation style. Attractive decor and calm ambiance. The food was very interesting and not typical American Vietnamese restaurant fare. We had the tasting menu - The salad with the delicata squash was excellent and great combo of flavors and textures. However most of the other dishes were all sweet, there wasn’t much of a break from all the sweetness- the short ribs could have been dessert! But even after all that sweetness the Whipped pumpkin coconut rice pudding was fantastic!

    Food is absolutely wonderful here. I split ragu, gnocchi, and short rib here and all were delicious. The service here was great too. My waiter gave us a small wine pairing with the short rib simply because he knew it would enhance the flavor even though we didn’t order it. It’s small gestures like this that sets A Tavola apart. It’s a perfect intimate date spot in a very inconspicuous location. I cannot recommend this place enough!
