    Had an absolute delicious lobster gnocchi. Great lobster sauce and some lobster meat. Even had shaved truffes on top. Fellow guest raved about the monkfish. Incredible service.

    The food was truly amazing! We had the scallops and the burrata appetizers - both were fantastic! We shared the ravioli, the squid ink pasta, and the vegan vegetable dish, and again, they were incredible! We had great service from everyone, the drinks were great, we were able to hang out there for a few hours. Would recommend this spot

    Great spot for outdoor dining. The salmon and the cacio pepe were fantastic, as were the tiramisu and chocolate mousse for dessert. A flawless meal.

    We tried the lamb and the chicken and they were good. The bufalo mozzarella appetiser was also good. We sat on the patio and it was very nice.

    Wonderful experience. Our server was exceptional. He created Bruschetta de la Kyle for an hors d' oeuvre which was created by our wonderful server. La Tomate has long been a wonderful choice for good food, quality service and marvelous atmosphere.

    La Tomate has become my "go to place" for when I want to have an enjoyable evening actually being able to talk to good friends (instead of shouting) over good food and drink. The always respect my request for a quiet table; the service is friendly and professional; the menu is relatively short, full of genuine Italian dishes expertly prepared. All the pastas are house-made and are uniformly delicious. Good wine list as well. with plenty of choices that won't break the bank. La Tomate won't disappoint if this is the kind of experience you're seeking!
