    We stumbled upon this place walking around Lambertville we were looking for somewhere to eat and my husband found it on yelp. I highly recommend this place. I have already been back twice. They were a little hidden from the main town although they do take walk-ins and do recommend a reservations if you are able to make one. They are a fairly decent size casual restaurant and the turnover is fairly quick with food. Service was great everyone super friendly. We did not have long wait time for our appetizers to come out nor our pizza. . Everything that we have tried there so far has been delicious. Can't rave anymore about the freshness of the salads and their unique twist on them peaches and burrata ( heaven) . Pizzas were equally delicious although I could just eat appetizers there . We had brought one of our friends with us and they enjoyed it as well.I definitely will be returning.

    Came here for a team lunch and it was good. We got the bruschetta, wish the bread was warm though otherwise it was good. We also got the bread board and it was also good. The burrata salad wash favorite but the watermelon one was good too. We got 3 pizzas all were good. The corn was pretty tasty.

    Spaghetti special - vodka sauce with shrimp

    Tavola Rustica is a neighborhood little BYOB gem that seems to pop out of no where. For a Monday night, the place was seemingly empty but by the time it was 6:30pm, the place was jam packed. Fair warning- the place got INCREDIBLY loud to the point it was very difficult to hear one another across the table. The restaurant wasn't overly large, but service was quite slow even for a Monday. BUT I will say that the food was delicious. Our table of three split the Jersey tomato burrata salad, including beautiful seasonal peaches. Don't let the price scare you- it's a massive salad, great for sharing. We then split the carpinone pizza and the pasta special of spaghetti with shrimp and vodka sauce. The pizza was awesome and my type of pizza (I know it's subjective). Thin crust, crunchy but melted Parmesan, crumbled meatball and sausage. It was full of toppings but the crust still held up. The pasta was beautiful and super saucey. It only came with five shrimp which was a bummer, but the sauce was wonderful. Solid Italian meal in New Jersey.

    Gnocchi special

    Came here with friends on a couples date night. They picked the spot and they hit a home run!! We had reservations and waited just a bit to be seated as they were packed. Service was attentive and friendly. The food was absolutely next level beginning with the margarita pizza which we shared as an appetizer. We also shared the panelle board. The bread on the panelle board was amazing but the star of the board for me was the pesto. I ordered the Cuore Della Nonna (Meatball, braised beef shortrib, sausage, sunday tomato sugo, creamy polenta, arugula). My wife had the gnocchi special. The entrees were amazing. Artfully plated and rich in flavors. We ended with double espresso, cannoli, and tiramisu. Will definitely be back and we highly recommend this spot!!!

    Pizza with basil + spinach + garlic confit + ricotta
    Craig G.

    Out and about in Stockton for the weekend, we drove into Lambertville for dinner on a frigid Friday night. Tavola Rustica, located in a pretty non-descript multipurpose building on Union Street, offers up hearty Italian fare in a rustic/chic setting and a focus on wood fired pizza. Passing up the burrata board (non vegetarian cheese), we opted to split a pannelle board of pizza bread + crostini + seasoned ricotta + pesto + olive oil, and a ricotta + basil + garlic confit pizza. The bread on the panelle board was great: pleasantly chewy and just charred enough, though on the greasier side, while the ricotta was the star of the board - light and herby to cut through the grease. The pizza was crisp with meltingly tender garlic. All in all, a solid place for a relaxed dinner

    Excellent margarita
    Cat M.

    Enjoyed an excellent lunch here. We shared the ceasar salad, brussel sprouts, 2 pizza's (margarita & a white one), rose wine, & coffee. Everything was very good, pizza was crispy & our server was knowledgable & provided great service. Would definitely come back when in the area. Note, parking is difficult.

    Staggionale Pizza
    Jim R.

    The restaurant is somewhat outside of the touristy area and it seemed to us that the clientele for the most part were locals. It was pretty much packed the entire time we were there. It seems that their main claim to fame are their pizzas but they do also have a small menu of steak, fish, meatballs, veal and pasta. There were 3 of us for dinner. We shared a large delicious appetizer of grilled Brussels sprouts and one member of our group had a nice size bowl of very good Butternut Squash soup with toasted pistachios. I opted for the Staggionale Pizza - with ricotta, buffalo mozzarella, figs, prosciutto, arugula and aged balsamic. (There was enough left over for lunch the next day.). It was very good. The other 2 in our group both enjoyed their Eggplant Rollatini - ricotta stuffed eggplant with Sunday gravy, broccoli rabe and creamy polenta. The Affogato ice cream dessert was a nice way to end the meal. The staff was very nice; the place a little on the noisy side but not ridiculously so. A nice BYO that we will visit again.

    One of our favorite local spots, Tacoma Rustica features pizza, fresh pasta made onsiite (gluten free available), a selection of delicious appetizers and main courses in a homey comfortable setting. The big table shown in the photo makes this a great spot for group celebrations. The service is efficient and friendly

    Margherita

    Super nice restaurant with friendly service. We got the gluten free margarita pizza and I can say it's some of the best pizza I've had.

    Homemade Gluten-free dough, Margherita Pizza
    Marie S.

    This was an unexpected delight! Went for lunch and ordered the carbonara and gluten free Margherita pizza. The carbonara was delicious and the egg sauce was deliciously subtle and not overpowering like most places tend to serve. The homemade gluten-free pasta was so good and fresh. The Margherita pizza was prepared gluten free and Trenton style-crispy bottom dough/well-done. We also had the beet salad with goat cheese as our appetizer. The service was great and all were very accommodating. Plenty of parking in the back lot and felt very homey. Will definitely come back!

    I've visited Crave a few times this week and have overall enjoyed the experience, but I wanted to…read moreshare a small concern. During my recent visits, I noticed some inconsistencies in portion sizes. At first, I thought it might just be a one time thing, but today I had a chance to observe a few orders being prepared while waiting for my husband's smoothie. It seemed like some bowls were filled above the measuring line, while mine was slightly under. I completely understand that things can vary during busy times, but I just wanted to mention it as feedback. Consistency in portions would really help ensure all customers feel they're getting the same value. I'm sharing this with the intention of being helpful, as I do enjoy coming here and hope to continue supporting your business.

    Was in the area and decided to stop in. There really aren't many non-name brand coffee shops…read morearound, so I appreciate the effort to bring something local to the neighborhood! I enjoyed the vibe right away. It felt welcoming, and I could hear people around me enjoying their meals, which is always a good sign. I only ordered coffee (there's just one size option), and it was good and hot -- although my lid was cracked. They do offer either a to-go cup or a mug if you're staying, which I liked. I do wish there were a few more small Danish or pastry options to grab with a coffee. Sometimes you just want a simple little something on the side. The only thing I was curious about was the music. Worship songs were playing the entire time. I wasn't sure if the owners are religious or if the staff just didn't realize what station was on. It's definitely a bold choice and might not resonate with everyone, depending on their beliefs. That said, it didn't ruin my visit -- just something I noticed. Overall, I'd return and would be happy to stop by again for another review soon. **After posting and reading other reviews... maybe I came (in the morning) at a bad time and there weren't pastries available?

If you want something a little healthier, they've got that, too. We love the seasonal changes and the favorites they keep on the menu. And my son loves the hot chocolate. I love the lavender lemonade. Service is attentive and friendly. Restaurant has big windows if you're in the front that we love, and there's plenty of outside seating to watch the world go by.

    I am not a vegan and neither is my husband. I have liked the Vegan food I have tried in my life,…read moreand my husband was terrified to try it. I have wanted to try this place though so this was our chance. It was really cute inside and actually pretty spacious. First of all, I got the 'Cucumber Fresca' to drink which was Muddled Cucumber, Fresh Lime & Mint Sprigs, Coconut Water, Agave. It was SO refreshing and delicious. I wanted to buy a jug of this stuff. My husband and I shared the 'Loaded Nachos' which was House-Made Tortilla Chips, Pico de Gallo, Avocado, Black Beans, Cashew Queso, Salsa Verde & Sour Cream Drizzle. Again, this was very flavorful and a really good portion size. For the entrees, my husband got the 'Piergios' which was Locally Made Potato Pierogi Sautéed with Caramelized Onions, Served with Applesauce and Sour Cream. As a guy who was scared of Vegan food, he really enjoyed these. The entree was $24 which he thought was a high price for the size of the entree but he liked the taste. I got the 'Truffle Topped Mushroom Risotto' which was a Chunky Mushroom Medley, Carnaroli Rice, Shaved Truffle. It needed a bit more flavoring but it was still a decent portion and had a good taste overall. We ended the meal with the 'Carrot Cake'. It was really good size and the icing was delicious! The staff was super helpful and friendly. The price of our whole meal, including tip, was $120.... which is high for sure but Vegan food is always higher. Would I come back? maybe. But I am very glad I tried it.
