The Scene
Set in the front room of a Ukrainian Village rowhouse, intimate A Tavola accommodates roughly 50 patrons--mostly young, in-the-know couples and groups--at a tiny bar and about 10 white-clothed tables. Tan upholstery, natural wood accents and stylish black and white photography give the place an uncluttered, personalized feel, and friendly service makes the crowd of regulars feel right at home.
The Food
Good things come in threes on the classic Northern Italian menu, which features just three starters, three second-course pastas and three entrees plus a couple of daily specials. A simple salad of greens and pears clears the way for impressive pastas: Taglietelle Bolognese strikes a lovely balance between creamy and meaty, while chewy gnocchi contrast nicely with crunchy sage leaves. Roasted chicken with spinach on a bed of Parmesan polenta is a succulent main course. For dessert, panna cotta is a creamy, delicious way to finish.
