La Tavola

Listen: This place is outstanding in every possible facet. Tremendous service, reasonable pricing given the extraordinary quality of the food, not too big so not too loud, and it even has the quaint hole-in-the-wall from the outside but local Italian feel on the inside factor going for it. Wow. Possibly the best restaurant in Columbus.

If it’s not homemade by mom and pop, it’s locally sourced, and everything we ordered was terrific. The beet and whipped ricotta appetizer is one of the finest dishes my wife and I have ever tasted.

Can you tell I liked it?

Small, kind of out of the way place with a nice atmosphere. Chef is top notch. Standard menu plus daily specials a plenty. Wait staff is excellent and knows the menu well. Perfect for an evening out with friends or a date night. Make reservations and you will not be disappointed.

Excellent, special risotto worth the trip. Generally a wait (for a very good reason) we got help from the storm. Salads were good too.

This place is one of the best places for real italian in Columbus. They're market to table menu is always changing. With pasta straight from Italy, and a great wine selection, you have to make sure that eat here!

I LOVE the food here! It has become a family favorite for birthdays and other special occasions. The atmosphere is fun and the staff are always very helpful. The only down sides are the dinning room is fairly small & parking is pretty limited. Thus, very large groups would be hard to accommodate here. Happily, there is plentiful on street free parking near the restaurant.
