Reviews for La Tavola Italian Eatery in Burlington, IA

My wife and I decided to go to La Tavola for our anniversary dinner and it turned out to be a big mistake. First the good. My... wife ordered the Chicken Savoy and it was very good (3.5 - 4.0 stars good). The chicken was tender and the sauce was very tasty.I ordered the lobster ravioli. First of all I doubt there was any lobster in the ravioli. I neither saw nor tasted any lobster.The sauce was very heavy and way over salted. It was so salty that I was only able to eat one ravioli ( maybe that's why Icouldn't taste any lobster). Second, the shrimp in the dish were way over cooked. Instead of tender and sweet shrimp, the shrimpwas tough and tasteless. While the service was generally good our server should have asked why I didn't eat my meal or wish totake it home. Never again.

This is without a doubt the most authentic and best tasting Italian food I have ever had. I would give it 10 stars if I could.... You do have to have reservations so make sure to call ahead. Try the lobster ravioli and the bruschetta. You won?t bedisappointed. Read more

Excellent food and service. Staff here are polite and upbeat. Family favorite for us.

Small, intimate, 8 tables, 1 server who was very busy, yet very good. Excellent Italian cuisine. Portions are quite large as... well. I would return again and again if I were local. Read more

Best Italian food on the planet. I?ve never ordered something off the menu that wasn?t delicious. Get the garlic knots!

This was our first trip to LA Tavola. My wife had the California cheesesteak sandwich and I had a meat pizza. BOTH were... fantastic and if not the best I have ever had, I honestly can not remember a better pizza. Thanks for the wonderful meal. Wewill definitely be back. Read more
