La Tavola

BEST PIZZA ON the Eastern Shore. I absolutely recommend la tavola. So excited to try their other options.

I want to want to like this place, but they've got a ways to go before they get there. We had a 5:30 reservation on a Friday evening. When we arrived our table had a reserved sign on it with our names. It wasn't a table I would have chose as I don't particularly care to sit in the middle of the floor and that table is right up against a large pillar. The two servers were nice, but there didn't seem to be a lot lot of "get up and go" between the two of them. They were slow to reset tables after people left and there were a few times i looked over and they were both standing around the bar area. All of the food took an extremely long time to come out of the kitchen. We waited nearly 20 minutes for our salads. When it came time to order dinner, I ordered the Baked Ziti with Meatballs only to be told they were out of meatballs. Not quite sure how that can happen. When did you realize you were running low and why didn't you make more? Another table ordered Calamari and they were told they were out of that as well. Our entrees also took close to 30 minutes to arrive. My wife ordered the pasta pomodoro that was supposed to be served with fettuccine, but it came out with pappardelle. We did enjoy our dinner, but there is room for a lot of improvement across the board.

We were in town for the Cycling event. We left disappointed after realizing that there was only one Waitress and we were sitting around for a bit with only water. Then I realized that there was limited selection for non meat eatesr. If we return to the City we will try again and hopefully they will be better prepared for the weekend crowd.

Came again for lunch. Great appetizer and chicken parmigiana. Service and atmosphere very good. Love the 30's music in background.

Excellent service! There were a few apps they were out of but our bruschetta was delicious. We ordered chicken parm and a personal veggie pizza and they were both very good. We also got the cannolis which were extraordinary! With a bottle of wine, everything was about $90-far cheaper than many other restaurants in town.

Pizza was over priced, overcooked, VERY thin crust. We were told our order was taking so long because they "tore the crust". A couple that came in after us had salad served before we got our salad order. Used to come here when it had previous ownership. Food was better and fairly priced. Unfortunately LaTavola may not make it if what we had for service, cost and quality is going to be the norm. We won't be going back to see if they've improved.

I called tonight at 6:28 ordering a large cheese pizza. The woman that took my order, said" ready 20 mins." I gave them a extra few minutes and arrived just before 7:00. They were serving only 1 table in the whole place. Was told nonchalantly it would take another 15-20 minutes before my take out was ready. I said nevermind and they seemed surprised. Never again. It was always hit or miss there ,from the get go. Pitiful. My rating is actually -0.Mark

Walked and and spoke to the owner and was impressed with what I saw. Told them that I would be ordering a pizza over phone for take out . Was told one of the girls will take order over phone.Called about an hour later and was told that they were busy, wouldn't do a take out order and that I was better off calling in "An order like that", during the week. Guess they don't need my business

Food is excellent, open clean environment, personal service. Portions are large and filling. Nice place.

The personal pizza was pretty good. My husband got chicken piccata that was ok. The waitress was very unprepared. We sat with no flatware for 3 minutes after we received our order. The jazz trio played and that was lovely. It was ok for a night out. Would love to have better service.
