Not at all worth it – My department had lunch reservations at Tavola Rossa to welcome new members to the team a few weeks ago and what was meant to be a pleasant lunch became ridiculous. We had reservations for 14 people, and when we arrived we had to wait for 10 minutes to get the tables set up. There was no one else in the restaurant, and this should have been done prior to our arrival. The service was slow and our waitress seemed very disinterested in taking our orders. We sat outside in the warm afternoon sun for about 1... read more

Avoid at all costs – I went there a while ago, and the food was average, the service was ok, but overall i was not very happy. I also had the unfortunate experience of meeting the owner. He was a very unkind man, and did not take into effect anything that was being said. I had to hunt down my waitress multiple times just to get service, and when I was finally helped it was given to me with an attitude. I would recommend this place to no one, the ownership is awful and really does not know how to help anyone.

No Excuse for Cold Food – I went to this restaurant on Mother's Day, May 11, 2008 and was very unhappy with my experience. First of all the food was cold. It was the worst food I have ever tried to eat. I did not complain because I was with my family and I did not want to make anyone feel bad for choosing this restaurant. They also ran out of chocolate covered strawberries of which I had none. Several people had asked the waitstaff about them and they said they did not have anymore. I then decided to try an omelet which they... read more

Tavola Rossa DOES NOT GET IT!! – I went to Tavola Rossa when it first opened with a group of women. The service was terrible and they were OUTof several of the pizzas/entrees my group tried to order. The waitstaff had to no concept of service and seemed more put out by us being there instead of happy to serve us. We chalked it up as being new. Giving it a second chance, I went there again the other day with a group and same story. I ordered pizza and they were OUT! How does an Italian place run out of pizza twice?? I mention... read more

Delilcious food, great service – I took my father to Tavola Rossa today for his birthday lunch. I arrived a little early and was greeted courteously. While I waited for my dad I was offered something to drink. We were seated promptly and our server was very nice. The bread and sauce they serve while you wait is delicious. I ordered the Puttanesca (linguini with capers, olives, tomatoes and garlic) and my father had the Chipotle Chicken Panini. The portions were just right (although they gave my dad a TON of fries with his sa... read more

Bad neighbor = bad restaurant – I recently moved into one of the apartments around the corner from Tavola Rossa, so my boyfriend and I were excited to try it out. The food was unexceptional, but we probably would have continued to eat there once in a while if it weren't for what I quickly discovered: they have loud parties there every weekend. When I say loud, I mean LOUD enough to literally shake the walls of my apartment. This goes on until well after 2am. On the nights when I'm at home during one of their parties, it's re... read more

Great food and warm atmosphere! – We have been going to Tavola Rossa as often as possible since discovering it about a year ago. The service, food, beverages, and decor are all excellent! We thoroughly enjoy the "experience" of visiting Tavola and have made friends with the Maitre d', Russ, owner Leslie, and many of the wait and bar staff. The food is very creative and satisfying. The layout of the wine list points you to wine characteristics that amateurs can understand and pros can appreciate. The selection and pricing of ... read more

An absolute gem of great food, great service and great uptown jazz! – I had the opportunity recently to dine again at Tavola Rossa. If it were a bar only it would certainly be "Cheers". The food was excellent as was the service. Russ, the manager is the epitome of the polished manager. He is impeccably well-mannered and made us feel immediately welcome. Each time we visit we are greated by name and treated as royalty by the whole staff. Even the chef, Nick ,drops by for a visit. Though called an Italian restaurant , the fare... read more

Perfect Wedding Rehersal Dinner – Tavola Rossa provided the perfect evening for our wedding rehersal dinner. We had about 25 guests on the outdoor patio. The staff reserved a section of the patio and guarenteed us a location inside in case of poor weather. The food was fantastic. We worked with Leslie Lewis (owner) who provided us with great selections, planning and service. We tasted and preordered the appetizers, wine and deserts the week before, which worked out very well. Our guests ordered from the menu, which made ever... read more
