While I wasn't too much of a fan of the gnocchi's texture, the sauce looked and smelled just like my nonna's. The barbecue Abruzzese is an excellent choice as an entrée if you're really hungry.

The food was very good, and we enjoyed the quality of the meals we ordered. Unfortunately, the…read moreservice experience did not match the quality of the food. Our server seemed unfamiliar with the menu and appeared somewhat disengaged throughout the meal. When I placed my order, she started to walk away before taking my husband's order, which led to an awkward but humorous moment when he had to get her attention. There were several issues with our order. I ordered the fish and chips and substituted the fries for a Caesar salad, as listed on the menu. Instead, I received the fish with no fries and what appeared to be a full Caesar salad rather than a side salad, resulting in an unexpected additional charge. My husband ordered the shrimp scampi entrée but was served the appetizer portion instead. These situations could likely have been avoided if the order had been clarified before being submitted. We also noticed an incorrect charge on our bill for an additional pitcher of beer that we never ordered. To their credit, the issue was corrected when brought to their attention. Throughout our visit, the server seemed focused on cleaning tables and other tasks and did not check back with us very often, making it difficult to address concerns during the meal. The restaurant has great food and plenty of potential, but additional menu knowledge and attentiveness from the serving staff would greatly improve the overall dining experience.

Food was ok, but the service was just bad. The waiter did not seem to know the menu (saying things…read moredid not come with an item, or saying stuff was free to add) both were false. We also ordered drinks, 4 people had to be asked for them, also asked for ketchup as our table (consisting of fold up chairs) did not have any, did not get that either. Took 30 min. We did not see our waiter until after asking the host for the check. He did not know how to use it, so I had to swipe my own card because he tried to insert it into the swipe slot sideways (like trying to use chip). The fries were great so Im sad I will not be returning. Burger was good tho

A solid old school Italian in downtown Stoneham…read more There is a language barrier when you order - so be as specific was you can, since a few things got lost in translation for me. (Like I got a full sugar ginger ale rather than the sugar free, I didn't order fries, but they must have heard that I did, I asked for Cheese on my sandwich - which wasn't there. All those errors aside, I can still love this sweet old school Italian Joint and can understand the allure. I wish I had gotten chicken parmesan rather than the pork sandwich. Ah well, live and learn,

We had a great experience last time so we decided let's get pizza for lunch! Unfortunately we were…read morea little disappointed. The pizza was fine but not as good as the one we had last time. Plenty of toppings and cheese but the flavor was flat. The meatball sub was solid. The meatball is very meaty, a great stand alone meatball. I should've added provolone cheese, it would've put it over the top. The marinara was really good thought. Getting the sauce on the side allowed it to travel well (even though it was only a 10 min drive, the bread would've been too soggy by the time we got it back home if it was pre-sauced). When inside I thought it was odd the menu displays didn't provide prices unless I missed it somewhere. We ordered from the pizzeria online so it didn't matter for our order, but an interesting observation. (See pictures)

The staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive, making sure the evening flowed effortlessly. The food was outstanding, as always! They even encouraged us to go off menu, and it couldn't have been better -- every dish was incredible and thoughtfully prepared. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making the night feel special without ever feeling stuffy or overly formal. Planning a milestone birthday can be stressful, but A'Tavola made the entire process easy, enjoyable, and truly memorable. My guests are still talking about how exceptional the food and service were. I highly recommend A'Tavola for private events, special celebrations, or any occasion you want to feel truly taken care of.
