This may be the best restaurant I’ve ever been to. The service was wonderful and the atmosphere is very nice. But the food… oh my heavens. I’ve never had such high quality and fresh food. The tomatoes on the bruschetta? You can taste the vine, like they were picked 30 seconds ago. The best Italian I’ve had ever.

It was one of my top 3 favorite experiences at a restaurant ever. Tracy the server/ hostess was amazing. The owner stopped by to check on our experience and the food was the best Italian I have ever had. I will definitely go back. We had brushetta as an app and lasagna and chicken parmesan as our dinner. I would recommend both. It is a small restaurant with limited seating so make reservations but being small is what made the restaurants charm.

We had table for two on Valentines day this year and it was a memorable experience. The atmosphere was perfect, the service and food was good too. We had a wonderful evening and would definitely recommend this spot.

Nestled along the shores of Pewaukee Lake, La Tavola offers a dining experience that tantalizes all the senses. The ambiance is inviting with a stunning view of Pewaukee lake.
The meatballs are packed with flavor and cooked to perfection, and served with a savory sauce that complements their robust taste.
The staff was wonderful. Will be back very soon!

First visit: Food is delicious! We had the caprese salad, lasagna di carne, lasagna rolls, and arancini. Everything tastes very fresh. I didn’t love the arancini but everything else was good. Prices are reasonable. Our inside 2-top table was too small for all of the items we ordered, was also very close to the other tables so servers kept brushing up against the back of my chair. Loved that they serve lemonade with fresh strawberries in it. That was a nice touch. This is one of our new fav spots in Pewaukee. We will be back.
Second visit: we had a table outside. Great view but the patio chairs are a little uncomfortable. We ordered bruschetta, lasagna di carne, a veggie pizza with sausage, tiramisu, and chocolate cake. Our server was just ok this time, she didn’t introduce herself or greet us.. just said “what can I get you?” This time my lemonade was served in a Stella beer glass which was weird to me (and no strawberries). Lasagna di carne was great- very flavorful. The bruschetta would have been better with fresh mozzarella or burrata instead of shaved parm, it was lacking a bit. My husband said his pizza was tasty but undercooked in the middle. Dessert was delicious. I love the tiramisu. Overall we still like this place and will be back in the future.

Food was very delicious, service was great, & the atmosphere was cute and comfortable. For the price point, this place is definitely worth it. Will be back again!

After the first visit, I became a huge fan of La Tavola. I visited many times in between my initial review up until now, but this evening will, unfortunately, be my last visit ever.
The night began at 7:30 with the waitress giving our party of 5’s reserved table away, to which we had to pull a chair up to a 4-top. Whatever. Then the service was incredibly slow, despite it being a slow night. Once the food began coming out, 4 out of our 5 eventually got their dinner, but for 30 minutes the 5th member was left with nothing.
It is now 8:20, and everyone is finished with their meals except him who never got his. We figured they forgot his order and waited for someone to come by… 10 minutes later we flagged the waitress over and said, “Hey, we’re wondering where his food is”, to which she snapped and said, “We didn’t forget about him, it’s coming”. Which was very untrue, as we saw his exact order being thrown in the oven just minutes prior. 8:40 he finally received his meal.
No apology was ever offered, nothing was comped, and there was no free dessert offered for the inconvenience. I am absolutely appalled by the attitude and nonchalance from the waitress.

We had a girls night/birthday celebration with 8 people. We were very well taken care of by Mary and Llazar came over to check on us multiple times. The food was stellar, the wine choices were abundant, and the desserts were amazing. The flour less chocolate cake and lemoncello cake were unanimous favorites. It is a beautiful restaurant and you can tell Llazar has put his heart and soul into this place as well as The Beach House Bistro next door. I’m waiting for him to take over the whole strip so I can dine a different place every night of the week.

My boyfriend and I walked in one Friday night, no reservations. We were sat by an incredibly kind hostess- what detail!!! They are moving at an insanely fast pace but yet they maintain their kindness and composure. What professionalism and hospitality!! 10/10!
While I recommend a reservation, the service and the food was absolutely PHENOMENAL. We got the Caprese Insalate and the Carbonara Ravioli- WOW!!! We will be coming back with a reservation for sure.
