Family ordered a variety of meals. The Trio of Italy with fettuccini Alfredo, chicken parmesian, and lasagna. Ziti rosa, Ziti marinara and a big pepperoni pizza. The dipping bread came out with marinara. It was ok. The salads weren't that exciting either and the blue cheese dressing was truly not great. The potato soup was better but also not remarkable. The mains came quickly and followed suit. Most things weren't bad they just seemed like a knockoff Olive Garden - and that's not exactly great either. The exceptions were the lasagna and chicken parmesan. The lasagna just wasn't good at all and the chicken was overdone and dry. I found the pizza decent, but the rest of the family was less impressed. Our oldest said it reminded her of high school pizza and others reported it was bland. We didn't complain but someone was kind enough to provide a complimentary cheesecake with the sauces. One who sampled it didn't find it to be that wonderful either.

It's comparable to an American Italian chain (it is part of a group that also has several Mexican restaurants) like a combo of an Olive Garden, Artisan Pizza and neighborhood small town pizza shop. Not the best, not comparable to Italian you will find in a larger city, but still good and at a fair price compared to most sit-down restaurant chains. I don't think it would do so well in a tiger city but like many smaller towns they have to make compromises for a smaller audience, and more limited resources. I think they made a good effort and we would come back. The pizza dough was tasty, and sized right for me. The cheesy bread was not so great and too dried out. The salad was simple but adequate. We also ordered bruschetta which was too mild and kind of ordinary but maybe that's what the locals like. Usually there is more seasoning, olive oil in the mix and a more toasted baguette slices.

I didn't eat from the children's menu this time. I ordered the Tour of Italy. It's a trio sampler of meat lasagna, fettuccine Alfredo and penne pasta. (Full disclosure- I am not a fan of pasta with just red sauce so I asked my server to leave it off of my plate). It was quite tasty. Each entree comes with a salad. I also inhaled a couple of piece of old school garlic toast. I was offered another serving of the bread and because I wanted to fit into the pants I packed for the trip, I said no. Thanks for the full belly and a stroll down memory lane!

The salad was just way too much shredded lettuce and we weren't asked what kind of dressing we wanted, the waitress just brought some vinaigrette. The waitress kept telling us she had heart issues and that's why she's slow. Then she disappeared for awhile and when she reappeared, she told us she passed out in the kitchen. We got a cheese pizza, an Italian sausage hoagie with peppers, and fettuccini alfredo. The cheese pizza had almost no sauce and tasted like the Italian seasoning they sprinkled all over it and nothing else. The Italian sausage hoagie was a joke. Little tasteless gray balls of sausage and it was so sweet it tasted like they just poured sugar all over it instead of Parmesan. My kid liked the alfredo, but I didn't like the price for how much he got. Then at the end the waitress charged us for stuff we didn't order and the check just has numbers on it so without the menu in front of you it's hard to figure out where the error occurred. We were disappointed after a few locals said this place was good. **update: checked my checking account and discovered the waitress added a $15 tip on top of the incorrect charge without authorization. Contacted bank to dispute the charges

It was disappointing that they were out of chicken cutlets because several of the sandwiches had that as the critical ingredient. But I would go back to explore the cutlets and their various Italian mains (lasagna, meatballs, etc) if I am ever in Nelsonville again.

There's a line of different pizzas and food that's already prepared and ready to serve if you don't want it made fresh in the back-FYI Try there's strawberries and cream they're delicious! The place has lots of friendly staff ( very relaxed, a little on the loud banter between the coworkers talking and cutting up with each other and even a beer was popped open and drunk behind the open register / food line area which was a bit surprising and a little off putting but not a huge deal since food was made fresh and fast and tasted good and not to mention it was close to closing time.) My only complaint for this visit was: However the gnats in the ladies room were absolutely horrible!!! Some were in the dining room as well but nothing quite like the restroom. Would we recommend this place? Yes Would we eat here again? Yes, definitely 4 stars instead of 5 due mostly because of the gnats in the restroom and a little bit because of the beer drinking "before quitting time and in front of customers ". But again not enough to keep us from not coming back again.

My husband and I housesat for friends in Athens, and they recommended we go to Tavolino for a…read moreweekend dinner. This place functions primarily as a daytime café, but on Fridays and Saturdays, the chef/owner crafts a rotating four-course menu that changes weekly. There is a shared bread or antipasto course for the table, then a choice of soup or salad, two entrees, and two desserts. We went the Friday of Memorial Day weekend. The bread course was a delicious focaccia, light and pillowy and infused with rosemary flavor. When we told our server how much we loved it, she offered us a clamshell with two additional slices to take home. That was such a nice gesture! I had the soup (a cream-based Italian soup with sausage, kale and potatoes), while my husband had the salad with homemade balsamic dressing. Both hit the spot. The dinner options were a choice of pastas. I had the puttanesca, which was bursting with big flavors from the garlic, anchovy and olives. If I had one slight criticism, it would have been that I'd have loved a touch more red pepper -- but I'll freely admit I have a higher spice tolerance than most people. My husband had the "summer fettuccine," which was prepared with bacon, corn and sun-dried tomatoes in a Gorgonzola cream sauce. I didn't taste it because I'm not a fan of the Gorgonzola flavor, but he raved. Both desserts were superb: a strawberry cake and an apple cake that our server informed us was also vegan. We never would have known. It was not dense at all in the way some vegan desserts can be. The server and the chef/owner were both so lovely and welcoming to two non-locals who stumbled in for dinner on a rainy night. It seemed like they knew everyone else there by name, so this is definitely a warm and inviting neighborhood place. The four-course dinner is a steal at $38 per person (plus tax and tip). It's also BYOB. We will surely be back on our next trip to Athens!
