Food here was great. I had their lasagna with a side salad and both were great. Only knock I have is that while the lasagna had a great flavor when I got it the dish it was severed in was extremely hot but the middle of the lasagna was not so much. This is the reason for the 4 star instead of 5. The service and the overall interior of the restaurant were great. The exterior of the building needs some maintenance but I get it they aren't responsible for the building as it's in a strip mall still building.

Cool spot for great Italian food in Greenville. After attending an event at ECU, decided to check this place out for dinner. It was unusually crowded on a Sunday; we were told a 1 hour wait at 6:30PM. After about 20 minutes, they added a few tables in an event room in the back, and we were seated promptly. Service super friendly. Thanks to bartender/server Mark. Service was quick despite how busy the restaurant was. Tried an Italian Trilogy - manicotti, ziti and lasagna. Added meatballs and sausage. This was enough to split - which we did. It's served split from the kitchen. THANK YOU! Pastas were prepared as you would expect, gooey cheese, slightly sweet sauce, just-right pasta. Meatball and sausage were excellent - simmered for quite a while until tender and flavorful. The only disappointment was that there's no cannoli on the menu. My go-to dessert when eating Italian. Other than that minor nit, this was a good meal.

A Tavola! is one of Greenville's best. Love the ambience, the amazing service (love ya Todd, Ashley, Ashlynn, Hunter and all the other regulars). One feels as though you are "at home" when you walk in. It is amazing that my husband and I can honestly say we have never had a bad meal here, we come here often, and have been coming for a decade. Even if your favorite is not on the menu, they can make it happen for you. I actually decided to venture into a fried seafood special, hoping it would be as good as their other dishes. The flounder was flaky and the shrimp were lightly breaded and fried to perfection...not grease laden. Such a treat, a local gem. Come here,we do not think you will be disappointed!

Excellent dinner and service. Lasagna and Shrimp Carbonera was very good. The ambiance in the restaurant is warm, peppered with paintings and inviting decor! If you're ever in the area you must try this Italian restaurant!

My go to for Italian in the area. Bartender is on point with good drinks that are not too strong or weak. Food is consistently good. My wife always gets the eggplant parm which is always excellent. Portion size for pasta dishes is great. Ive tried many different dishes on their menu and have never been disappointed.

Friends and I regularly make this our "go-to" for after work food and drink. With a full bar and wide variety of wines, my friends really love it. The bartenders are great and work so hard to make you the perfect drink. Don't know what to get? Tell the bartender you want an "indecision!" You'll enjoy it! Italian, wraps, seafood, pizza...it's all so good! My personal favorite is Swine and Cheese pizza! There are so many good options I'm not sure I could narrow it down. There are lots of art for sale by local artists on the walls around the dining space. I think the art sparks some conversation!

MUST GO! Why have I waited this long to enjoy this amazing spot?! I should be embarrassed. First.......my server was Hunter. He is beyond fantastic, great enthusiasm and spirit. Second....the seafood dip was absolutely delicious.....I just wanted to keep eating it for days. Third: my sandwich was okay, I should have ordered a pasta. Enjoyed the atmosphere and layout of restaurant. Excited to return and enjoy some pasta and wine!

Always trying out new places to eat. This is one that I would return to. Hunter, my server, was awesome. He really made me feel like I was one of his regulars. I asked for a cup of the chicken and corn chowder and it was delicious. Full of chunks of chicken and roasted whole kernel corn. For the main course I had the Chesapeake chicken and shrimp. It was a little heavy on the celery seed for my taste but overall wonderful flavor. As always, I ordered more than I could eat so I will be enjoying this food for lunch tomorrow. So glad I got here when I did because the place was almost full by the time I finished eating.
