" La Tavola is a hidden gem! I tried the eggplant parmesan after hearing so many great things and was totally blown away. The flavors were right on point, and I love the homey feel of the restaurant. The waitstaff was prompt and attentive without being intrusive. I'd probably recommend this place more if only it wasn't so small, but that's part of its charm. Definitely on my list to return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" My first visit to La Tavola was memorable! The place is quaint and cozy. We started our meal with the garlic knots, which did not disappoint. For my main, I had the shrimp scampi – the sauce was delectable and the shrimp was cooked just right! As someone who frequents many Italian restaurants, I appreciated that La Tavola captures the essence of authentic Italian dining. We'll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I must say, La Tavola deserves all the praise it has received. From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted warmly by the staff and seated quickly. The layout of the restaurant is small yet inviting. Our appetizers of bruschetta and calamari were delicious and made with fresh ingredients that showcased the restaurant's authenticity. I opted for the lobster ravioli as my main. The pasta was soft and flavorful, although I did wish there was more lobster filling. The dessert menu had a variety of options; I went for the tiramisu, which was simply exquisite. Overall, a fantastic dining experience, and I totally recommend making reservations! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food and cozy atmosphere! We ordered a variety of dishes, including pizza and pasta. Each one was superbly crafted. I wanted more of their garlic knots; they were just that good! Service was top-notch, with a friendly team that kept the conversation flowing. I can't wait to come back and try dessert next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed my meal at La Tavola but had a few concerns. The atmosphere was vibrant, filled with laughter and delicious scents. I ordered the seafood pasta, which was flavorful but more on the oily side than I prefer. Our server was friendly; however, the wait for the food felt a bit longer than expected. Overall, I would try it again to explore their other menu options. There’s potential here for a fantastic experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" La Tavola has quickly become my go-to Italian restaurant since moving to Burlington! The atmosphere is cozy with an inviting charm. Last week, I ordered their signature veal dish, which turned out to be phenomenal! The meat was tender and well-seasoned, paired nicely with a light marinara sauce. The only downside was that I had to wait for a while for my server to check in post-meal. Still, I left satisfied and with leftovers to enjoy! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard a lot about La Tavola and finally decided to check it out with my family. The restaurant is indeed cozy, but the seating is quite limited, so we had to wait about 20 minutes for a table. Once seated, we ordered the meatballs and spaghetti as starters, which were good but not as authentic as I hoped. For my main, I had the shrimp scampi, which was flavorful but slightly overcooked. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was nice, making it a pleasant outing overall. I might return to try a different dish. " (*Curated Review*)
