We had invited friends to join us for dinner and picked Tavola for the restaurant. We had not been there before but it got great ratings. It was great, everyone loved it. Food was delicious, we had pizza, chicken marsala and some great wine. We will go back!

I took some friends there before a comedy show. I hadn't been for a while and missed it. Same friendly people, awesome delicious food, and my friends said they would definitely go back. It's one of the Hillcrest gems. Go there and be impressed!

We had a wonderful lunch outside with some guests from out of town. We loved our appetizers- truffle fries and the Dolce e Salato flatbread. We also had a pasta and salad. The staff was attentive, but not pushy - which was important because we wanted a lot of time to catch up with our friends.
