Walked in on a Thursday evening around 7PM without a reservation, and they were completely booked. Between the two sides of the restaurant, there is probably about 60 seats.
Luckily, some space was opening up at the bar. The bartender Randy was super helpful and chatty. Space wasn’t too loud, could still have conversations.
Parking was not good. It’s a small lot that’s shared with another business. Just drove around to find some street parking and got lucky.
Food ratings:
– Beet and Ricotta Salad – 5/5 so fresh and very delightful.
– Pasta Bolognese – 4.9/5 the freshly made pasta was worth the wait, sauce was light, wish there was a bit more meat and maybe a sprinkle of basil or oregano.
– Tiramisu – 3.75/5 huge slice! Just a bit on the sweet side and the cake layer on the bottom was a bit too soggy.
Would return again! Just remember to make a reservation 😉

Reservations are definitely recommended – plan in advance. We got seats at the bar when they opened because there were no same day early time slots. Food was delicious and service was top notch. Husband got the mushroom pappardelle special and I got the chicken parmegiano.

La Tavola is hands down one of the best Italian dining experiences I’ve had in Columbus.
From the moment we walked in, our hostess Alyssa was phenomenal—warm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. Her recommendations were spot-on and truly elevated our entire evening.
The food was outstanding. We had the ravioli, the seafood pasta, and the meat salad, which was absolutely to die for. Every dish was perfectly balanced, fresh, and clearly made with care. You can tell the chef takes real pride in the food—tonight’s execution was flawless.
Honestly, this may be the best Italian food in Columbus, Ohio. Exceptional service, phenomenal chef, and an unforgettable meal. We’ll absolutely be back.

This place was amazing! Highly recommend. 5 star dining experiance from a rustic small Italian restaurant.
The service at La Tavola is unreal, hats off. From the servers, to the bus boy and the host. They never stop moving, but are never in the way.
Food is phenomenal. Priced as an upscale Italian dish, every plate delivers as such.
Arrived at 5 as they are only open 5-9(930). By 515 every table was filled. So in the future I would plan reservations if you are arriving at anytime other than when the door opens.
~$50 per person + Drinks
App, 2 entrees, 2 drinks PP, dessert. 130

Would never go back because they charge a ‘hidden’ 3% fee for using your credit card. This is punitive to nearly all customers (who carries cash these days?) and is a form of double dipping: La Tavola gets to claim credit-card fees as a business expenses (lowering taxes) while the customer is the one actually paying the 3%. It’s a total scam and the only way to deal with these anti-customer behaviors is to walk yourself somewhere else. I say the fee is ‘hidden’ because you have to carefully read the entire menu to see the fine print. Additionally, they charge the 3% fee if you use your debit card, which incurs no fees.
If the food was excellent, I might look the other way, but the food is average.. less good than comparable restaurants (e.g., Marcella’s, Nicola, Guiseppes, etc). Service was great and atmosphere was nice; the home-made gnocci and desert were stellar. BUT – principally – what is the thinking that occurs when an establishment determines to push additional fees back on the consumer? What is the conversation that takes place?
I was a restaurant owner and know that margins are thin; what that should evoke is the desire to maximize the customer experience through fairness, respect, and quality of offerings. We eat out a lot and have many choices as to where to spend our hard-earned money in the Columbus area; when restaurants behave punitively towards customers, we take out money elsewhere.

I went here for the first time a couple of weeks ago and would definitely return. The food is pretty good, the vibe is very homestyle and the rotating menu are definite pluses.
A few misses though: first, would love if this place had an online reservation system. I called to make a reservation, was put on hold for 8 minutes, was able to inquire about my table and then informed the time I wanted wasnt available. They offered some other times, I had to talk to my dining partner and had to call back. Took about an hour to reserve when it would take a few moments online.
While most of the food was excellent the pizza crust was surprisingly ‘meh’. The toppings were good put when delivered on a pizza crust that looked like and tasted like cardboard it just wasn’t something I’d ever order again.
The real star of the menu was the bolognese pasta. The tiramisu was also great. The caprese salad was ok. The cheese was incredible- buttery and fresh but it was too soon for the tomatoes- not quite ripe enough but soon I bet it would be an incredible salad to order.
Returned in March 2025. Excellent dishes and lovely atmosphere. I still wish they had an online reservation system. Many times I think about returning but booking a table is the worst/problematic.

I ordered the duck ragu and some tiramisu and a cannoli. The pasta was excellent! One of the best things I tried was the gnocchi from someone else at my table.
I will definitely be back to order that next time. I wasn’t a fan of the desserts because neither was sweet enough for my taste. The tiramisu had a strong coffee-bitter taste, and the cannoli was too lemony.
Their pastas all looked great – judging from the other plates I saw. My duck ragu was delicious! This is a must try spot in Columbus.

What a PERFECT experience!!! 5 of us gathered on a FREEZING January evening last Sunday. Just walking in the place made you feel nothing but comfort!! Our table was ready. We started with a round of drinks. We were presented with the nightly specials as well as the main menu. We started with the very delicious Burrata !! Each person chose a different entree from the Gnocci al Forno, Chicken Parmesan , Pasta Bolognese, tiramisu and gelato We all sampled each. AMAZING. Our server, Kaleb was ON POINT !!! He provided some of the best service I have had anyplace for quite a long time. We shall return VERY soon. This could very well be my new favorite Italian restaurant !!!!! Thank you for being here !!!

Excellent service and great food! Had the pasta and meatballs. A tad bit salty on the sauce but the meatballs were excellent. You can taste the freshness. I had the chocolate cake for dessert. It was not too sweet and had a cream filling that was really good. My server was very nice, attentive, and provided excellent service. Prices are fair so it is not too expensive plus the portions are generous. Recommend this restaurant for a special occasion or a date as the service is excellent and the food is great!
