La Tavola Restaurant and Bar

Ate here 2 years ago and again last night. Both good experiences. Last night the server was very knowledgeable about gluten and cross contamination. The menu is marked with GF by the items available. I had a delicious pork prime rib chop with a GF gravy. They have gluten free bread and will give you dipping oil if you ask. On the menu was gf cheese tortellini with vodka sauce and options of grilled chicken, shrimp, scallops as an add on. About 1/2 of meals were GF

Ordering and pickup were a breeze and they were very knowledgeable on what I could eat when I called. They have gluten free noodle, gluten free buns and a lot of their dishes are just naturally GF. I got two kids GF pastas and they were both mush by the time I picked them up and the Mac and cheese was very off tasting. My bolognese was very bland, beet salad was ok and my husbands burger (non GF) was bland as well. I am willing to give it another shot since we picked it up, but we were home within 10 minutes of picking it up.

Our server was very knowledgeable about gluten free and very helpful. My daughter has celiac and they were able to offer her two kids options - GF pasta or GF grilled cheese. She had the GF grilled cheese and loved it… the fries weren’t safe so they gave her fruit on the side instead :)

I've eaten dinner here once & even after assurances that the manager would watch my plate, it arrived with gluten- containing onions that I thankfully caught before I ate. They sent me a new plate & didn't charge me.

I tried again for breakfast and I was cross-contaminated. There is no gf bread for any breakfast but the food was delicious on both days. I didn't get super sick but my meal was not without gluten. I'm a very sensitive Celiac so exercise lots of caution here.

Other Characteristics

• Good for dinner

I spoke to them on the phone regarding our daughter having celiac disease. I was told all of their sauces are gluten free (in addition they have GF bread and GF pasta). When we walked in, the blonde hostess (same woman I talked to on the phone) was there, and I again, talked to her about my daughter’s needs. No problem. I also spoke to the server about it. They bring out my daughter’s clams. She eats two of them and then some guy comes over with another bowl of clams and says my daughter’s have gluten in them. Apparently they used flour in it even though their “sauces are all gluten free”. It was so disappointing. Then, they say they will take the clams off of the bill. They didn’t. We had to say something. No owner or manager came over or anything. Terribly disappointing. Would never eat here again.

Had a delicious dinner here. Be prepared for a boring decor for ambiance. Don’t let it deceive you, though. We ordered GF bread with Brie drizzled with honey and pine nuts over arugula. For main course Salmon over shredded sugar snap peas and watermelon radish was excellent. My husband’s grilled shrimp salad was very good. Had GF key lime pie for dessert (sweet indulgence!)

The server was very knowledgeable about gluten free and cross contamination. They have gluten free pasta and dedicated water/pot to avoid cross contamination. Many of their entrees can be made gluten free as well. My daughter had gluten free lobster Mac and Cheese and it was amazing. They have gluten free bread as well. Fryer is not gluten free. All the good was amazing!
