“ Really yummy italian spot. Of note there are two locations within about a mile of each other.. so make sure you go to the right one if you make a reservation! This one is larger than its counterpart. We tried a bunch of pasta dishes and had delicious Riesling paired with it - my favorite was the conchiglie with shrimp prawns. Delicious! ”

“ Update: no Monday and Tuesday specials anymore :( for anyone who is wondering! Tough news on a Tuesday ”

“ We had a great experience at Tavolàta! We the cocktails were great and the food was too. The focaccia was pretty good. We ordered the bucatini and the rigatoni. I rate the rigatoni 10/10 and the bucatini 5/10. The staff was great and the vibe was good too. We enjoyed sitting at the bar. ”

“ The experience i had from the moment I stepped into the restaurant to leaving the restaurant was great. I walked into the restaurant around 730 pm without any reservation. The host offered me the counter seats, but I really wanted the booth seats. The restaurant was quite packed despite of being on the weekday. Anyhow there was one booth that is for bigger party and she was able to accommodate us with a big smile. The host was wonderful. Then we had a super wonderful cherry server who recommended fantastic red bubbles and she was super. She had a great timing checking up on us several times and always on top of all our needs. The food was good. I likes the res beet salad and Brussel sprouts, but it felt very standard dish. So was the papadelle pasta. It was good in a standard way, but I did not think it was an exceptional pasta I ever had. The tiramisu was also tasty. I will be back for the service and ambiance. BTW they charge automatic service charge on the bill. With 2 apps and one pasta. 2 desserts and bottle of wine was 210 dollars. I felt it was little on the pricey side for what it is. ”

“ After a long day at the convention, we stop by this place to grab dinner with our group of 8! I don't think they're able to see larger groups than eight so that's also something to make a note of. When we arrived, we had to wait a while for a table to become available maybe about 20 to 30 minutes. When we entered, there's some restrooms to the left and the lighting inside is pretty dim. We all took a minute to look at the menu and then meet our orders. I personally got the spaghetti and meatballs the one with a lot of cheese on top. My friends got the truffle gnocchi and one of the carbonara pastas. Overall took maybe about 20 minutes to 30 minutes for all the food to come out. Some of our friends got drinks and those came out first of course. Overall, the food tasted pretty good. The pasta was a good texture. ”

“ Everything was so delicious! Not pictured is us devouring the chicken meatballs. We agreed that was the best thing we ate. We also had tiramisu and cannoli for dessert. The cannoli comes with two, which I didn't know. I wasn't very happy with the cannoli as the ricotta filling was very citrus forward, and I'm not into that. Service was great and it wasn't too crowded for 530pm on a Sunday. ”

“ a FANTASTIC italian meal at tavolata! It was a pretty upscale place and great prices. We came during restaurant week and shared a bottle of wine, but on weekdays there are also really good pasta wine deals I highly recommend taking advantage of. The pastas here were comparatively delightful to the ones I tried in Italy, which I loved, so that says a lot! Pictured above are the Rigatoni and Bucatini. I was impressed by the amount of protein in each of the pasta that we didn't even have to add extra. Both pastas were perfectly al dente as well and the flavors were well balanced. The server was also so nice and relatable, and made our meal feel so homey and welcome. Overall I'd change nothing about the experience, a well deserved 5/5! ”

“ For such a popular Italian restaurant in Capitol Hill, we appreciated the option to make a reservation ahead of time. Our group of six got a widespread of appetizers and I especially liked the roasted beets and bruschetta. We also ordered every single pasta from their happy hour menu except anchovies spaghetti. The food had such generous portions during happy hour and was incredibly filling. What was interesting was that different pastas had drastically different salt levels. For someone who loves their noodles al dente, the pasta really hit the spot. We came celebrating two friends' birthdays and appreciated how the staff brought out beignets and ice cream for us to enjoy. ”
