Authentic pasta dishes and arguably the best wood-fired pizza in Cincinnati. The wife and I shared the beef ragu tagliatelle and a red sauce pizza with homemade sausage. Both were delectable! Attentive service in a small - yet tasteful and inviting - dining room. Conveniently located in old downtown Madeira new Kenwood Towne Center. Can't wait to return and try something else!

Love coming here for dinner! It especially great if it's just the two of us, since we can sit at the bar. Loved interacting with the bartender and watching her prepare drinks. The cosmo they make here is my favorite! Not too sweet. It's perfect! Tonight we split the asparagus salad. I love the crispy prosciutto and pine nuts. SO good! Also shared the chicken scallppine al limone. The chicken is cooked perfectly, juicy on the inside and just the right crispiness on the outside. Also shared a pizza francisco with vodka sauce, spinach, mushrooms, and crumbled sausage. All was delicious, and the service was great!

Snuggled in the heart of Madeira is some great Italian cuisine. The chicken meatballs are a must have. The drinks fail flat but it wouldn't stop me from returning. Service was good, and the decor is cozy. It's not huge inside but there is an outside option as well. No reservations but the wait is quick. I didn't have the pizza but it's very popular. They have vegetarian options as well. Try something new.

Great stop for a quick yummy bite! We couldn't decide between pizzas so ordered two to share. Fresh and in house made sauces were a plus. Arancini app was small (think dime diameter balls), but crispy from the ratio. Good attentive service and easy parking.

So I've had this establishment bookmarked since 2014 when I was visiting Cincinnati. Unfortunately we never made it then, but fortunately we made it today lol.We came here for lunch to celebrate our wedding anniversary because it was going to be less busy which was good because we had the baby with us. Our server was really nice and attentive.So I'm not a big alcoholic drinker but I actually ordered one of their cocktails because it sounded pretty good. I ordered the cutie honey and it was very tasty and I could have had another one lol but I was already a little bit tipsy with the one lol.Arancini - we ordered this appetizer because it reminded me of the suppli that you would find in Rome Italy. It was pretty good but was a little bit smaller than I had expected. Nonetheless it was good.Margarita pizza - My husband ordered the margarita pizza and it was really good. We really enjoyed the Neapolitan style pizza and he loved that they were generous on the basil. Would highly recommend!Cacio e pepe - this is a must order for sure. This tasted really legit - I really love the pasta that they use, it was cooked perfectly. Legit!Definitely coming back here for sure.

We had heard that A Tavola had been named the best pizza in Cincinnati (according to Cincinnati magazine). I will say, in terms of high quality ingredients and flavor, they are correct. Wood fired pizza is always the best crust, and they had great options. The Pizza Francisco has onions, mushrooms, sausage, and spinach. It was delicious. We also ordered the zucchini mozzarella, which were also good. Overall we wished the portions were a little bigger. There are small and large pizzas. The large can be split between two people, but any more you'll want to order extra. The outside back patio was very nice, and our service was great. Will absolutely come back again.

Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. We went at noon and it was pretty empty, so we were able to be quickly seated. I've been to A Tavola before, but it's been a while. The menu is still similar with options of appetizers, pizzas, pastas, and salads. One of my favorites has always been their Gnocchi with Vodka sauce, so that was my order. We also ordered the Meatball Duo. While the service was great the food just didn't seem as tasty in visits past, specifically for the Gnocchi which was just undercooked. I still enjoyed it and the Meatballs were delicious. Its a spot I'll keep on my list and will go back, we may have just had an off day for the one dish.

I liked this lunch! The food was pretty tasty, and at a good price. It's my first time trying the pastas, since normally I go there for pizza. I liked them. I thought my Tagliatelle Ragú was too sweet, and I was expecting for more flavor. It wasn't bad at all, and the fusilli alla vodka was also good, but I think I was expecting for more flavor on both. However, next time I'm getting the Gnocchi in crema parmigiana. Those were DELICIOUS. Service and ambiance is always good at this place. We went around 2:00 pm so it wasn't busy at all. Next time I'm staying for some gelato.
