a tavola

Editorial Review

A Tavola's small, quiet, comforting room only serves to complement its simple, rustic menu. White tablecloths and fresh flowers showcase owner/head chef Dan Bocik's small, but ever-changing menu with the subdued dignity it deserves. But nothing complements his food more than the intimate knowledge of the restaurant's long-term servers. After you've heard their spiel on the night's specials, don't forget the signature dish. Rich with butter and subtle with sage, the gnocchi is a singular experience.
