    Our first visit. My husband and I just moved to Pennsylvania and we were close to Kennett square today and decided to try this wonderful restaurant. We were greeted by Clevia who was our warm and welcoming server. He seated us by the charming front window facing State Street. (Table 1). We enjoyed delicious house-made Italian bread with a lovely dipping of balsamic, olive oil and herbs. We shared the delicious Prosciutto and Arugula pizza, and Fig and Prosciutto salad. What incredible cuisine! The pizza dough and all pastas are made in house. What an excellent experience! We will return for dinner. Reservations are highly recommended.

    Came here before visiting Longwood Gardens for their Christmas display. The restaurant was cute and decorated for Christmas! There was lots of room and we were sat by the front window. The drinks were very good! We ordered the olives and they were great. Everyone in our party started with the Caesar salad which was very good! Personally I hate the eggplant parm and it was very tasty. Could've been a bit crispier but flavor was on point. They had gluten free pasta as someone from our party cannot eat gluten and it was a solid pasta. We ordered a seafood pasta special and the scallops were rubbery and overcooked. We ordered a risotto dish and it was fine. And we also ordered a ravioli dish which came out lukewarm. Overall the food was mid but the drinks were good and we enjoyed our waiter. Service was quick and friendly.

    Tough chicken parm. Good pasta. Small salad. Good salad. Good atmosphere. Good company.

    The last time we came here it was amazing, but this time it missed the mark! We made reservations for dinner and arrived early. The older gentleman said that's fine. He seated us, and was also our waiter. He offered to open our bottle of wine and told us the specials. However, it would be nice to see the specials in writing. It was hard to understand everything he was saying, and also remember everything. We ordered two appetizers: the Mixed olives and the Tuscan style bruschetta. The olives were just okay but the bruschetta was the best thing we ate here! The whipped bruschetta with the balsamic and tomatoes, and the bread so soft... For dinner we ordered the Spaghetti Carbonara and the Bocconcini. The Spaghetti Carbonara tasted very lemony and not very cheesy for a dish that supposed to have two kinds of cheese. Then the Bocconcini- it had several pieces of shrimp that were good, but the pasta was not cooked all the way and was hard and chewy. We decided to split the lemon cake and it was just okay. Loved the BYOB here and easy to make reservations. Parking was just around the corner in the garage. Service was just okay. It was a long wait for food, that wasn't even cooked properly. Not sure we will come back.

    It was for my sister's in law birthday. We had reservations today at 7 PM. Beautiful evening for dining under the stars on a Thursday night. Arrived at 7 PM and we had to wait for 20 minutes before getting seated. Okay! Whatever! The street was closed off for other restaurants as well so people can enjoy the wonderful weather. But my GOOD GOLLY GRACIOUS... Service was horrendous (to put it in a nice way)! Took forever for someone to come by to check on us. And to add salt to the wound, it was like that throughout our entire time there. No water. NO NOTHING! We asked different busboys to bring a bucket of ice (to put the wine bottles in) and no one did nothing for the next 45 minutes after getting seated. Finally, after sitting there for an hour, our waitress finally introduced herself. She apologize. I was over it by then. Then again, it wasn't my event so I didn't want to be the person who was very negative. But in all honesty, it was definitely a letdown. She took our orders. More time for us to get our food. From appetizers to entrées. They food, itself, was pretty decent. But for the amount of time for us to receive it, it was not worth it. By the time I receive my entrée, it was wrong. I've ordered the lobster ravioli but received a cheese ravioli instead. It was very cold... tasted like they took it out of the fridge and warmed it up in the microwave. If you look at my picture, you could tell that it was not a lobster ravioli. I don't know want to complain because it took forever for everything to get to our table. Just dealt with what I have. Would I like to come back here? ABSOLUTELY NOT nor do I recommend anyone to come here because this service was the worst that I've ever had and that's putting it in the nicest way possible. If they can't accommodate that many people, they shouldn't have had that many reservations.

    We were there about 5:30 on a Tuesday night. Very quiet but it got pretty busy before we left around seven. The food was delicious. The Caesar salad was one of the best I've had! The dressing was creamy but not heavy. Our main Waiter was Mark and he was great! The others took their time to also check on us. We bought a bottle of Pinot Noir and just overall great experience. Can't wait to return!!

    Fried Calamari

    Trattoria La Tavola is relatively new to the area, so my family decided to get dinner here on New Years Eve. We were seated promptly, although there were some minor hiccups in service (more on that later). Ambiance is nothing special, just your typical Italian restaurant. We started with the fried calamari and the artichokes. The calamari was perfectly crispy and came with a large portion, plenty to share! The artichoke stole the show, however. The feta cheese and truffle oil gave this dish so much flavor. We liked it so much that we decided to order a second portion! When our entrees started coming out, four out of our five dishes arrived. We couldn't tell if they forgot to put the fifth entree in, but our waiter came over and said the kitchen was still working on it. The missing dish was grilled salmon, so it seemed odd that it would be taking this long. It finally came out almost 15 minutes after the rest of the dishes. Unfortunately, my entree was pretty underwhelming as well. I ordered the spaghetti carbonara, which seemed to be missing seasoning. It was very bland in flavor, but the sauce tasted too thick. I normally love carbonara dishes and this wasn't even an average dish, in my opinion. Because we liked our appetizers, I'm sure we'll give this spot another try after it's been open for a little longer.

For dinner we ordered the Tortellini and the Bronzino. The appetizers were just okay, however, we really enjoyed the Tortellini and the Bronzino - both were delicious. We saw other tables getting baskets of bread but we never got any. Our drinks were not good, and the service was not great. I know this was Christmas Eve but it was disappointing.

Purchasing the suggested pairings (ahead of time) added to the overall experience. We also had wines that were brought on preference and the paired wines won out every time as they perfectly complemented the prepared courses. Our two servers were friendly and attentive, explaining every course and refilling our wines without asking. Present, yet out of the way. The atmosphere is very cozy in the back of the cafe at Talula's Table - the original table as opposed to the smaller kitchen table added a few years back. Reservations still take a year (though it's easier to snag a cancelation or weekday as they recently added online reservations in April 2026). However, it was well worth the wait (and I'm not sure why I waited so long to try it)! We left stuffed between the hors d'oevres, eight courses, bread, surprise course, and plenty of wine to wash everything down. We experienced the Spring 2026 menu and look forward to dining again in another season.

We initially planned to have dinner at the restaurant, but our GPS led us to the adjacent sports bar with the same name. We were seated at a high-top table near the bar and greeted by our friendly server. The menu was similar to the restaurant (I think), but regardless, we were looking for pizza and a beer. They offer two styles of crust: NY-style and Neapolitan. We ordered a cheese pizza with the latter wood fired crust. Our pizza arrived in a reasonable amount of time and was fine. The crust was not as light as I thought it should be. The pie was a good size and plenty for both of us. Service was great the entire evening, and we enjoyed our meal.

I wasn't sure what to make of it as I would have expected a full house on a Saturday night. I'm going to start with a few opportunities. First, the initial glass of water I was brought was not clean. There was literally some food on the side of it. Second and keeping on the topic of water, the waiter did not come back to fill empty glasses of water. Next, I was looking forward to the tomato garlic bread but it was hard when I but into it. Finally, my counterpart ordered a burger and after eating about half of the burger, each bite was like biting into a pallet of salt. It was like someone accidentally spilled a salt shaker so he obviously couldn't finish it. On the positive side, the place was quiet which was nice, the manager (or maybe it was even the owner) when we asked for more water bought us a carafe so we didn't run out again (which I love), and also when we left I accidentally forgot my takeout container on the table and again the manager (or owner) ran out after us to get it to us which I appreciated so much. Relative to the food, it was average (minus the salt side of the burger which was not good). The soft pretzel appetizer was good and I had lasagne which was decent enough. I will say it was a huge lasagne portion (two squares)! Overall, I'm not sure I'd go back with so many other options.

Being lazy and hungry we decided to try the newly renovated cafe for a take out lunch last Saturday. My wife enjoyed a gourmet grilled cheese sandwich with apples that was pretty good. I decided to try the signature grilled rib eye steak sandwich. It's not like a steak sandwich but a big, sliced steak in a sandwich. I ordered it rare (of course) and it's served on a steak roll with lettuce, tomato, and basil mayo and a side of French fries. It was delicious and cooked perfectly and I would get it every time. At $19 it's not cheap (and it's messy to eat with stuff dripping and slipping everywhere) but it's like having an actual steak and a sandwich all in one. I would gladly eat this every time I go there. You can eat inside the cafe or they have a couple of (rusty) tables outside where you can nibble (and in my case dribble). We also took home a mini frozen Shepards pie (just ok) and some big type of big beans (pretty good) from the charcuterie. It's a great option for some meats, eats, and cheeses if you want to save yourself a trip to West Chester, Ardmore, or Philly.
