What People Are Saying About La Tavola
The Owner
La Tavola
Owner
La Tavola is a classic, cozy Italian trattoria in Atlanta's famous Virginia Highland neighborhood. Featuring exposed brick, dark wood floors, rustic colors and an open exhibition kitchen, we offer a balance of elegant simplicity and innovative creativity.
Executive Chef Craig Richards came to La Tavola after 5 years of training under Lidia Bastianich, where he received invaluable knowledge of the Italian-American kitchen. He took the culinary world by storm at Lidia's Kansas City, working his way up from senior line cook to sous chef.
Our menu features progressive variations on classic Italian dishes coupled with a reasonably priced wine list. Perfect for family gatherings, romantic dinners on the patio, Sunday brunch or just a quick bite at the bar, you will always feel welcomed and at home around our table at La Tavola in Virginia Highland.

In Short
With its open kitchen, mirrored walls and sleek light fixtures, La Tavola fits right in to its stylish Virginia-Highlands environs. Couples share plates of pasta in cozy wooden booths while boisterous wine drinkers swap work stories on the heated back patio. Enthusiastic servers, appropriate for the friendly scene, grate hefty hunks of Parmigiano-Reggiano at the diner's request. Dressed-up Italian classics are La Tavola's trademark, better than the neighboring-casual Osteria, but not quite on Sotto Sotto's level of excellence. Addictive pastas are well-made and get that extra touch of class with additions like truffles and wild bore, while entrees (all hovering around $20) are simple, and stand on their own without a fancy accompaniment. Knock off $5 and get one of the pastas as an app size for a nice way to start the meal, and finish with a free form tiramisu or a gelato of the day.

There aren't a ton of vegetarian options, which is always strange for an Italian place. However, the food is quite good and it's worth a trip, especially if you're seeking something more sedate.

Know Before You Go:
Like La Tavola? Try the Food Studio, Sala or South City Kitchen--they're owned by the same folks.
What to Drink:
The wine list features an impressive range of moderately priced Italian and Californian wines by the glass. Be prepared, however, to spend about $30 for a bottle or half-bottle.
Know Before You Go:
The bartenders at La Tavola are among the most beloved in town. Ask for Ally or Kris and tell them CitySearch sent you!
What to Drink:
La Tavola's wine list is extensive, creative and award-winning. Best of all, you can take home any unfinished bottles, so there's no excuse not to indulge a little.
When to Go:
When people say Italians do it better, clearly they were talking about brunch. La Tavola serves a truly unique brunch Sundays from 10am-3pm that features an Italian spin on traditional dishes.
