Tavola Nostra has the best authentic Italian food and Pinsa. Everyone is always very friendly and the customer service is over the top! We love this place and travel 80 miles from Orange County for the best PINSA and Italian food!

This is one of my favorite restaurants. The staff are all super friendly and attentive, and the food is fresh and delicious. I have a hard time with the menu because everything is so yummy. We always prefer to sit outside, because it's a little boisterous inside for our old ears, but that is just us. Their happy hour and wine tastings are fun with great nibbles. I try to come back as often as we can-which is pretty easy because the menu has so many great options. The Pinsas are a special treat too. I can't wait to come back.

The place is very casual, but the food is not! Top notch Italian pizza, great salad and perfect Bruschetta!

The food was amazing! We will come back soon even if we don’t live close. Our server was excellent. Could not have been better unless they made baguettes out of their Romana recipe. 😊

Hearty Italian fare. Excellent sauces. Bright, tangy fresh salads. Pizzas were also quite good, although I would argue (as a guy who grew up in Brooklyn) that the "Brooklyn-style" crust is not Brooklyn-style. A little too light, and not enough chew. It was, however, friggin' delicous. Our server was very attentive and had a great smile. The only negative for me was the noise level... I would not recommend for a romantic dinner. Otherwise, a keeper. Will be coming back!

Great food and service. We ate outside with occasional loud noise from the street - from sirens and/or trucks but it wasn’t really a problem for us.
