Diner Reviews
  • "If you don't want to eat in a rubber stamp restaurant with scripted dialogue from the servers then choose LaTavola. The service staff are informed from a personal perspective from the drinks to the desserts. The service was timely and not rushed. The specialty drink menu was long enough to give you a good selection and included a variety of choices outside of the usual margarita options. The baked clams were whole, flavorful and wonderfully seasoned with just the right amount of breadcrumbs and garlic. the sauce was a little lemony but still worth dunking your bread in. the buratta cheese and artichokes were perfectly blended and the calamari was tender. the main course of parmesan pork was a little well done but flavorful. the risotto"

  • "I took my wife to La Tavola for Valentines Day dinner. It was the third time I've been to the restaraunt but the first I have dined indoors. The interior is quite nice. Liz was an awesome waitress. The food was delicious. I had the seafood potpie and my wife had the scallops."

  • "Unsure of where to dine mid-week, we chose our reliable neighborhood gem. Always a nice meal in comfortable accomodations. The personal greeting from the owner is always a nice touch as well. Great Rewards program."

  • "My husband and I had dined here before and it was great. This time we brought our 5 yr old and 2 yr old boys. The kids were welcomed with a nice kids menu complete with a coloring area, but no crayons. Glad I brought my own! Food was delicious and our server was attentive. Only 2 issues we had were 1) we were seated in the additional room on the east side of the restaurant and it was freezing cold, and 2) we had to wait about 15-20 mins between being finished with our appetizers and receiving our entrees. Other than that it was delightful!"

  • "I love eating here. The staff is personable, the service is great! The food is very good, the menu changes with the season so items are always fresh. This restaurant is also a good value, they have a great happy hour, pre-fix menu and point system that allows you to receive discounts and build up points for gift cards. Sign up to be on their email list and stay informed of all upcoming events and specials."

  • "As always the food was very good. I was a little surprised that they ran out of Prime Rib by 9pm on NYE and the servers response was "well it 9pm and the last seating is soon". Well, it was 9pm on New Years Eve, technically there was still 3 hours til the end of the night. Seeing that much of the menu was seafood related running out of Prime rib was not good. They substituted a Sirloin which was supposed to be 20oz but looked more like 12oz and charged the same price as Prime Rib $58. The server apparently not thrilled to be working that night was not the happiest camper. It put a crimp on dinner but didn't ruin the night."

  • "We have dined at LaTavola several times and have always enjoyed the food, ambiance, and the excellent service. The price fix menus are the best. Our meals were so well prepared and delicious but we made sure we had the desert which is always incredible, we can start our diets the next day. We look forward to our next visit keep up the good work."

  • "Took my daughter for her birthday. There were four of us--food was wonderful and great appetizers to start. Waitress was friendly and helpful with the menu-- My daughter's Godmother from Florida and my good friend from Canada were there. Nice special offers as well. Would certainly recommend to all my friends an co-workers"

  • "I will not return to your restaurant or recommend it. Service was poor, calamari was like rubber and ceasar salad looked like it had been sitting around and was bland. Main course was good but our server did not even bother to offer fresh pepper or parmesan cheese (I had the rigatoni and meatballs and had to ask her for cheese). One of our guests was celebrating her birthday. When the staff was informed they brought her a coffee cup filled with whipped cream and a lit candle… just whipped cream (from a can). They had the nerve to include a 20% tip because we were a party of six. It was horrendous."

  • "We have several great restaurants in Sayville, and this is one of the best. I usually go there for lunch, and have the sole as my entrée. It's served over pearl couscous and chopped vegetables, and is tasty."

  • "We went for my husband's birthday with our kids (16, 14, 10).. The waitress came over, told us about the specials but never asked us for our drink order. The food was not spectacular, my linguine and clam sauce was too lemony and my coconut gelato was covered in a strong peach syrup that overpowered it. Our waitress was never around and we had to ask other servers for help. I asked the hostess for a candle in my husband's dessert to acknowledge his birthday. She said of course and I watched her walk away and tell our waitress. Dessert came and nothing, not even a happy birthday. We had to track down another waitress to get our check because once again our waitress was nowhere to be seen. We were very disappointed at a very high price."

  • "We were a group of 9 and had reservations for 7:30. It was very busy and I guess they were running behind, maybe over booked from restaurant week. We didn't sit down to eat until almost 9 but they apologized over and over and gave us 2 drinks each on the house, they also brought us appetizers while we waited in the bar area. Their amazing customer service will definitely make me return. I was very impressed with all of them."

  • "We had a gift card and went here for my wife's birthday. It was a Saturday night and the place was crowded. We had reservations and got seated within 5-10 minutes. The beet salad was excellent and the dinners were fine. Only downfall....we were rushed to vacate the table and our server was hard to find."
    Dined on 10/27/2013
  • "Very rarely do you find a place that gets everything right. From appetizers through dessert, every course was well executed and utterly perfect in terms of flavor and portion. Was thrilled that I wasn't rushed through the meal, but given the chance to savor it. Highly recommend!"

  • "Made the reservation for our 1st anniversary.When we got there,we were sat at the worst table.Right by the door &my seat was so close to the table behind us I couldn't get up & if my husband moved back we would be blocking a path.Immediately I asked for another table, apparently all the other tables are reserved.Our waitress came &I told her I wasnt happy sitting there &wanted to move. The older hostess came over to again explain the other empty tables were reserved &I told her I made a reservation too &would never reserve that table.She told us she tries to avoid sitting ppl there &hates that table,I asked her why would I be ok sitting there.Think the manager heard us &we moved. If they hadn't moved us,we would've left.Left a bad taste."

  • "I had been to this restaurant a few years ago and was quite happy with it. This visit I was sorely disappointed .... The waitress was curt and unfriendly. The food was overpriced for the portions. I ordered the fig salad which was good but the fig pizza was tasteless and bland. An eight dollar share fee is outrageous especially for the prices. My friends who had pasta and a different pizza experienced the same complaints. I will definitely not be going back."

  • "WHAT CAN BE SAID, OTHER THEN THIS WAS A PLEASANT DINING EXPERIANCE...OUR TABLE WAS RIGHT ON TIME AT 8:15, AND OUR SERVICE WAS GREAT....THE FOOD MADE TO PERFECTION. TO MANY THIS WILL BE A FIVE STAR RESTAURANT BUT I AM VERY VERY PICKY WHEN IT COMES TO DINING OUT (MAYBE BECAUSE I DINE OUT 4-5 NIGHTS PER WEEK), BUT HAVE ZERO OBJECTION TO ANYONE RATING THIS WITH ALL FIVE STARS........"

  • "made a 9:45 reservation and were seated asap. The waitress came over to greet us but really she came over just to break the news that the kitchen was closing any minute. We hadn't even decided on drinks yet. It was a Saturday night, a band was playing and there still was a decent amount of diners in the restaurant and a full bar. Not sure why a kitchen would close so early on a Saturday. Plus open table had allowed me to make a 9:45 reservation. what good is being allowed to be seated minutes before the kitchen closes. So any way obviously we were rushed which for my boyfriend and I on a Saturday night when we were really looking forward to having a relaxing and romantic night out, this did not make us to happy but we made the best of it."
    Dined on 10/6/2013
  • "We have been going to La Tavola since it opened in Sayville. The menu is so varied that there is always something new to try--from a sampling of appetizers to full course price fix dinners. The fig & pear salad is a must have and the pizzas are perfect for late night dining. A kitchen that stays open past 9pm is a rare find as well!"
    Dined on 10/1/2013
  • "Our waitress put a chill in the experience. Initially warm and friendly then inattentive and lacking. Some of the food was left under the heat lamps too long... "watch the plate, it's hot," after waiting too long for the meal, and without attentive drink refills."
    Dined on 9/22/2013
  • "We were a party of 8...I realize that with that size table, the tip is included in the bill...however, no one came the entire night to refill water, we had to ask for more bread and when it came the oil dish was not refreshed, four people ordered dessert and only three were served together, the last ice cream dish was served 15 minutes after everyone else had finished and we were waiting for the check ( at that point, we should have been asked if we still wanted it). No one came by during the meal to check on us."

  • "We were a group of 5 meeting at the bar for a drink and then dinner. The bar is great especially if you are able to get one of the few tables. Dinner was great, too, as it was pasta night. Choice of salad, entre & glass of wine. They were friendly, courteous and accommodating."

  • "This was my first time at La Tavola. The service was great as well as the food. I chose gluten free pasta primavera and it was delicious. My friend and I sat outside on the porch, so it was quiet. La Tavola has a vibrant bar scene; so inside the restaurant was quite noisy. My dining experience was most enjoyable; and La Tavola will be added to my list of favorite restaurants."
