Tavola Italiana

High Quality Food. Far exceeded our expectations, we ordered from the "family takeout" menu for a group of 10. We had two trays of chicken parm, a tray of penne vodka and half tray of garden salad. Everything was so fresh and cooked perfectly, I've never had a take out experience be this great. Didn't even need a knife to cut the chicken. We had plenty of leftovers and have been enjoying them just as much. Highly recommend if you are in the Ludlow area, it was so perfect for us to have a high quality meal while staying in.

This place was truly excellent and I am not normally a fan of Italian food. The location is spectacular. Beautiful views from outside and a really classy and cozy interior. No complaints here. The staff are perfectly attentive and really sweet. They spent a lot of time with us and gave our baby a ton of attention. The food though! It was real, authentic, home cooked Italian. I can not stress this enough. I HATE Italian restaurants because I know they are charging me $20 for .99c worth of noodles and it makes me angry. Tavola was different. The flavors were ambitious and bold. Strong flavors, reasonable portions (instead of a pound of noodles you could never hope to finish). The desserts (Almond Cake and Maple Pudding Cake were outstanding. I will be back soon and often for these desserts. We worked our way through a fair share of cocktails, everyone fresh, flavorful, and strong enough to know you aren’t getting ripped off. I can’t stress this enough. This place is excellent and deserves your time.

I am going to two stars because the service was very good and the people are nice but it ends there. The tomato and fresh Mozzarella was served with hard as a rock non ripe tomatoes. The pricey Lasagna was made with a tomato sauce that tasted like doctored canned sauce, possibly the worst Lasagna I've had in I can't remember and priced close to $20.00. I can only think the folks giving this place 5 stars have never actually had good Italian food. I would never, ever go back. Wish we'd gone for Tacos in town I hear they are good.

There aren’t enough stars to rate this restaurant! The service was top notch, the surroundings are comfortable and elegant but not snooty, and the food was nothing short of amazing. My son ordered the Crab Cake (special). The presentation was nice, topped with a bit of lobster. The cake itself rivaled the best we’ve had; lots of crab, a little cake, and sautéed to perfection. We each had a House Salad; fresh and tasty with a good assortment of vegetables. For our entrees we had the Lobster Ravioli (special), Chicken Francese, and Penne a la Vodka with chicken. The Francese melted in my mouth! The sauce was perfection and the cutlets were thin sliced and tender. My son completely devoured his Penne dish. My husband enjoyed the Ravioli, which came topped with shrimp. The meal was tasty but the fact the lobster was puréed instead of torn took away from the experience. For dessert we had their “new” chocolate cake, yum! And my husband had the Key Lime Creme Brûlée, which he enjoyed. I would go back weekly, if I could, and would recommend this restaurant to everyone.
