Our meal at La Tavola was great until my wife accidentally dropped her wallet. We realized it about 20 minutes after we left the rstaurant. We returned and there was no wallet under the table. The table had been bussed and reset. We asked the waiter if the wallet was found. He went to the back but we dont think... More

We were taken to La Tavola this past weekend. It was our first time and our hosts highly recommended it. We absolutely loved it. Service and food were both above average. Our waiter took excellent care of us, gave us time in between our courses to enjoy the company. Quality of food was also excellent. This seems like a place... More

There are lots of better choices in Pittsburgh besides this place. La Tavola's menu is dated, decor abysmal, bad location and marginal food. The night we were there the kitchen was overwhelmed and couldn't get things out on a timely basis. 'With our party no one's dinner came out together. Excuses that there was only one cook in the kitchen.... More

For my sister's birthday our family went here for dinner. We were pretty excited, as we had heard some great things about this place. However, none of them seemed to be true. The food itself was just "ok" there, nothing special...certainly not worth menu price. The staff was overall very rude, and not concerned with providing good service. We had... More

Had heard good reports about La Tavola, but was not impressed!!! When we arrived, they could not find our reservations that we had made two hours before. Host staff argued in the middle of the dining room about which table to seat us at, finally seated us at a table for 4, busboy arrived, mumbling something, making as much noise... More

La Tavola in Pittsburgh's Mt. Washington in my most favorite place for Italian food! It's not a fancy restaurant, but the food is the best! It is a BYOB and has reasonable prices. It is a place for families and celebrations. We just celebrated our friend's birthday at La Tavola's. Our friend and his wife loved it so much that... More

I eat at La Tavola every chance I get. Joe runs a tight clean ship and employes his family members. The food is great and the price is right. This is a BYOB which makes it even more affordable. La Tavola has some of the best Italian food in Pittsburgh and you can wear jeans without feeling out of place... More

This place has its advocates but I was disappointed - in the plainess of the cuisine and the cavernous, unattractive dining room. Meh. More

I went to celebrate my son's birthday with his Grandmother, father, and siblings. I inquired about the kid's menu and was informed they can make any pasta, with lower portions (and price), for all three of my kids. When the meals were brought out, they were all apparently adult portions with corresponding adult prices. I asked if they were kids... More

I first went to La Tavola last year and couldn't believe I hadn't known about the place earlier. Approaching from outside, you wouldn't know about the culinary delight awaiting inside. The food is rooted in the family's Sicilian heritage, mixed with contemporary notes. BYOB. Great food, great friendly family service. If they have a party in the other room, which... More
