Buongiorno! Nestled in Virginia Highlands, La Tavola Trattoria has everything you could want: ambience, intimacy and most importantly, flavor. Take a break from the hustle and bustle of Atlanta, and escape into the outdoor patio of this mini-Italy. With an eclectic menu of pasta and protein, this restaurant expertly offers you the comfort of authentic Italian classics with the promise of quality. Try the zuppa di pesce for some savory seafood or the beet and arugula salad if you’re in the mood for something light. For those of us who can’t quite finish an entire plate of Mushroom Ragu Tagliolini, all pasta entrees are available in appetizer portions (although, the tagliolini is rumored to be ambrosial). So, the next time you’re in Virginia Highlands, remind yourself why Italian food is universally loved and treat yourself to the hospitality and fine dining at La Tavola.
