Enjoyed an excellent lunch here. We shared the ceasar salad, brussel sprouts, 2 pizza's (margarita & a white one), rose wine, & coffee. Everything was very good, pizza was crispy & our server was knowledgable & provided great service. Would definitely come back when in the area. Note, parking is difficult.

Outstanding food and a wonderful dining experience! We started with the warm olives with Parmesan, which were absolutely delicious—who knew something so simple could be so flavorful? The Brussels sprouts were to die for, and the pasta, veal Parmesan, and pizza with prosciutto were all excellent. This is such a great spot to share food with friends and family. For dessert, we tried the cannoli and olive bread, and honestly, we needed a wagon to roll out of there—we were so full but couldn’t resist tasting everything! The only minor downside was that we occasionally had to wait a bit to add something to our order, but we understand it was a busy Saturday night. Definitely coming back!

We hosted a small dinner party after our daughter’s wedding at the nearby Woolverton Inn. Dot and Katie were great to set up the reservation and prepare for the dinner. Juan took excellent care of us, the service was great and the food was delicious. The menu offered plenty of variety for our guests, the portions were perfect, our complements to the chef and kitchen staff. Our daughter brought a cake and they happily served it to the party. The event was perfect thanks to the caring and professional staff at Tavola Rustica.

Had several great lunches at Tavola. It’s a great atmosphere and service. And of course - the food is pretty great too. Since it’s a historic building - the cell reception is not great and there was no wifi that is provided by the restaurant. Put down the devices and enjoy your meal!

The entire experience was absolutely incredible!!! The food was out of this world and coming from a New York City local I’ve had my fair share of pizza and these pizzas are now at the top of my list! The service was a 20/10, the manager Christopher was absolutely amazing!

I have eaten there multiple times since I opened a business across the street. I have taken several friends and family members for lunch and every time the food was exceptional. I can't say that we have ventured too far through the menu as of yet, but that is because what we keep ordering is so exceptionally good. The margarita pizza is simple but perfect, the carpinone pizza is even better.

We are not from the area and looked up that Tavola would be on our way back as we were driving home. We called and made a reservation since it was a Friday night and from making the reservation to the moment we arrived the staff could not have been more welcoming! It was so busy but you would have thought we were the only table. Everything we ordered really was delicious- the olives and that balsamic for dipping, wow! Also the meatballs for an appetizer- we are a tough group and everyone said the meatballs were perfect. As a person who has to eat gluten free and knows sometimes it’s not worth it to get gluten free pasta bc the taste is off- this was not the case. I had the gluten free cacio e Pepe and it will honestly bring me back even though we live over an hour away. And one other note you can not go wrong with the desserts again everyone was so delighted with the taste. The homemade whip cream is something to write home about- beyond. What a great surprise to find such a nice dining experience on our travels back home!

Everything about our experience was excellent . The server was attentive and friendly answering all our questions. The food was the best gluten free pizza I have ever had. The appetizers were amazing!! My husband loved his meal. We highly suggest this restaurant especially with it being a BYOB keeps the price competitive. Atmosphere was the icing on the cake We will definitely be back!
