Originally founded by Naples-born Chef Massimo Esposito and later operated by owner Aki Djabbarov, the neighborhood dining room prepares classic southern and traditional Italian dishes using house-made dough and slow-simmered sauces.

Dinner and lunch entrees include chicken, veal, and shrimp prepared parmigiana, marsala, or piccata style, as well as seafood pasta dishes and fresh Greek, Caesar, Cobb, and Italian antipasto salads. For midday diners, La Tavola offers oven-baked hot sub sandwiches including meatball parmigiana, chicken parmigiana, and Italian cold-cut subs, paired with fresh garlic knots.
