A Tavola is a cozy and quaint restaurant in Ukranian Village. You walk in and you feel like you are in someone's home, not a restaurant.

The menu is pretty limited, with only a handful of appetizer and entree choices, but the ones they offered were pretty appealing. They also offer pastas, which are more of a second course, so it is larger than an appetizer but smaller than an entree.

I opted for a pasta dish, gnocchi with brown sage butter and parmesan cheese, with a side of rosemary potatoes. The gnocchi was fabulous! Very light and flavorful, with crisp sage leaves. The rosemary potatoes were also very good with parmesan cheese crusted on top.

This restaurant is a very cute find. It is a little out of the way from other things, but it is well worth the trip out there.
