During my recent visit to La Tavola, an Italian restaurant tucked away from the usual Asian food scene, I was pleasantly surprised. The place offers a unique dining experience as it shares its menu with the 202 restaurant. I found this quite intriguing, yet it worked well as I got to enjoy a good salad from the 202's menu.
The main course was a toss between their risotto, pasta, and the much-raved-about pizza. I decided to go with the spaghetti and meatballs and the Bolognese. The portions were generous, and the Bolognese had a hint of spice, which added a nice kick. However, I did miss having a piece of bread to mop up the sauce. The pizza, especially the one with balsamic and goat cheese, was a hit among the patrons.
The ambiance was lively, with the game playing on multiple large screens, making it a popular spot for game nights. Unfortunately, I did have a bit of a hiccup with their operating hours, as I found the doors locked during my first visit. But the friendly staff and good food made up for it on my return. I recommend trying the Cobb Salad and the Chicken Saltimbocca, both of which were delightful. So, if you're looking for a unique Italian dining experience, La Tavola is worth a visit.
