La Tomate has become a favorite for the following reasons:
- genuine Italian cuisine, expertly prepared and presented -- including all pastas house-made
- professional, friendly waitstaff who provide attentive service with no annoying "hovering", constantly interrupting your conversation with tablemates and trying to be your new best friend
- lovely atmostphere, lots of light with big windows (and shades for when sun is too much)
- it's quiet enough, even when busy, to be able to actually have a conversation with your tablemates without shouting
Four of us had dinner there yesterday evening and it didn't disappoint in any respect. So if you're looking for a restaurant that offers all of the above, you won't go wrong with La Tomate. And you will be supporting a local, family-owned and operated business as well.
