Nice alternative to Mall food Tavola Rossa has good food but is expensive in my view for the food we received. Nice alternative to eating mall food but was not that impressed. Did not meet my expectations!

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

Great Place for Lunch! – The lunch here is great, it's a hidden treasure in Raleigh. The restaurant is so pretty and the patio is a nice retreat. I have only been here once but my dish, the "Chicken Limone" was to die for. The service is friendly without being pretentious. It's a great find and I never knew it was here. We will totally be back.

You can get better food for the money – Tavola Rossa is definitely a nice looking restaurant, very modern looking decor with a cool bar. The food however is not really worth the price. The crab and artichoke dip appetizer was cold in the middle. The tomato and mozzarella pizza I ordered was not very good due to the ingredients, they just didn't taste fresh. The tomatoes were mushy and didn't have that wonderful full ripe flavor that they should have. The mozzarella was not fresh mozzarella. When you are creating a very simpl... read more

Special Evening made perfect – My wife and i had been hearing about this restaurant from some of our close friends and we decided to try it. Right away when i arrived i knew our friends had steered us right. The decor is modern and everyone was warm and accomodating when we arrived. Our service and meal were outstanding, one of the best italian meals that i have had in recent years. I had the Veal Picatta and my wife had the Stuffed Shells. I was most impressed by the wine list that was understandable and not overly complica... read more

corrupt owner, good server – I decided to attend tavola with my husband for our twenty fifth anniversary. Our server was friendly, showed a very pleasant face and kept us happy. I was horrified when i heard the way the server was being treated by the owner. I will not reccomend this restaurant, not be because of the food, the service or the prices, but because i do not wish to support such a man. Overall the food was great, it had plenty of flavor, i ordered the seabass imperial which was to die for and my husband ordered th... read more

Great service, incompetant cooks. – I had been to Tavola Rossa once before and decided it was mediocre. After deciding to give it another shot, we went back. Our server was very pleasant and a joy to deal with, however, the main problem was with the food. Our appetizer, a crab and artichoke dip of sorts, was tasty but cold in the middle. My girlfriend's entree of stewed chicken wasn't bad, but it was somewhat bland. I ordered the chilean seabass, which left me shaking my head in disbelief. The fish was somewhat lukewarm, sug... read more
