BYOB with delicious pizza and pasta. Try the pappardelle because I'm still thinking about it 4 days later. Brought me back to Florence. All of the pizzas are sure to please the crew. Other pasta dishes and steak dishes were good. Branzino in a creamy sauce had me going back for seconds. That was a delicious dish that I wish I ordered. Can't wait to go back with great friends. Service is excellent. read more

Came with a nice group Tuesday night. Everyone was really into the pizza and when I saw the beet salad... I couldn't resist! It was very fresh and delicious and they're actually enough to share. I would say four people can eat one platter of this amazing delicious flavorful beet salad.. We had amazing service. Our waiter really took care of things. He made sure we always have a full glass! It was great. We really had the restaurant to ourselves and chatted a lot and enjoyed the delicious food here. Thank you so much. read more

With so many good restaurants nearby, this is not a place i'll go back to. The food was so disappointing and we didn't realize it was BYOB as its not listed on their menu or wine list anywhere. Our server couldn't recommend anything from the menu either as she hadnt tried anything from it. Ordered a pizza (we've had better frozen pizzas) and the cavatelli. The amount of raw garlic was inedible, the sauce was broken, and then pasta was also undercooked. While the space was cute, its in a business center so kind of felt like eating at a mall. read more

We stumbled upon this place walking around Lambertville we were looking for somewhere to eat and my husband found it on yelp. I highly recommend this place. I have already been back twice. They were a little hidden from the main town although they do take walk-ins and do recommend a reservations if you are able to make one. They are a fairly decent size casual restaurant and the turnover is fairly quick with food. Service was great everyone super friendly. We did not have long wait time for our appetizers to come out nor our pizza. . Everything that we have tried there so far has been delicious. Can't rave anymore about the freshness of the salads and their unique twist on them peaches and burrata ( heaven) . Pizzas were equally delicious although I could just eat appetizers there . We had brought one of our friends with us and they enjoyed it as well.I definitely will be returning. read more

Came here for a team lunch and it was good. We got the bruschetta, wish the bread was warm though otherwise it was good. We also got the bread board and it was also good. The burrata salad wash favorite but the watermelon one was good too. We got 3 pizzas all were good. The corn was pretty tasty. read more

Tavola Rustica is a neighborhood little BYOB gem that seems to pop out of no where. For a Monday night, the place was seemingly empty but by the time it was 6:30pm, the place was jam packed. Fair warning- the place got INCREDIBLY loud to the point it was very difficult to hear one another across the table. The restaurant wasn't overly large, but service was quite slow even for a Monday. BUT I will say that the food was delicious. Our table of three split the Jersey tomato burrata salad, including beautiful seasonal peaches. Don't let the price scare you- it's a massive salad, great for sharing. We then split the carpinone pizza and the pasta special of spaghetti with shrimp and vodka sauce. The pizza was awesome and my type of pizza (I know it's subjective). Thin crust, crunchy but melted Parmesan, crumbled meatball and sausage. It was full of toppings but the crust still held up. The pasta was beautiful and super saucey. It only came with five shrimp which was a bummer, but the sauce was wonderful. Solid Italian meal in New Jersey. read more

Came here with friends on a couples date night. They picked the spot and they hit a home run!! We had reservations and waited just a bit to be seated as they were packed. Service was attentive and friendly. The food was absolutely next level beginning with the margarita pizza which we shared as an appetizer. We also shared the panelle board. The bread on the panelle board was amazing but the star of the board for me was the pesto. I ordered the Cuore Della Nonna (Meatball, braised beef shortrib, sausage, sunday tomato sugo, creamy polenta, arugula). My wife had the gnocchi special. The entrees were amazing. Artfully plated and rich in flavors. We ended with double espresso, cannoli, and tiramisu. Will definitely be back and we highly recommend this spot!!! read more

Out and about in Stockton for the weekend, we drove into Lambertville for dinner on a frigid Friday night. Tavola Rustica, located in a pretty non-descript multipurpose building on Union Street, offers up hearty Italian fare in a rustic/chic setting and a focus on wood fired pizza. Passing up the burrata board (non vegetarian cheese), we opted to split a pannelle board of pizza bread + crostini + seasoned ricotta + pesto + olive oil, and a ricotta + basil + garlic confit pizza. The bread on the panelle board was great: pleasantly chewy and just charred enough, though on the greasier side, while the ricotta was the star of the board - light and herby to cut through the grease. The pizza was crisp with meltingly tender garlic. All in all, a solid place for a relaxed dinner read more

We decided to check this spot out for lunch with the fam. We ordered apps (Panelle board, Meatballs), pizzas (Mont, Carp), pastas (gnocchi & tagliatelle), and Jersey Tomato Burrata salad. I thought the meatballs and pizza were solid, but the pastas were a little underwhelming. The service was great and the dining area is nice. read more

Enjoyed an excellent lunch here. We shared the ceasar salad, brussel sprouts, 2 pizza's (margarita & a white one), rose wine, & coffee. Everything was very good, pizza was crispy & our server was knowledgable & provided great service. Would definitely come back when in the area. Note, parking is difficult. read more

The restaurant is somewhat outside of the touristy area and it seemed to us that the clientele for the most part were locals. It was pretty much packed the entire time we were there. It seems that their main claim to fame are their pizzas but they do also have a small menu of steak, fish, meatballs, veal and pasta. There were 3 of us for dinner. We shared a large delicious appetizer of grilled Brussels sprouts and one member of our group had a nice size bowl of very good Butternut Squash soup with toasted pistachios. I opted for the Staggionale Pizza - with ricotta, buffalo mozzarella, figs, prosciutto, arugula and aged balsamic. (There was enough left over for lunch the next day.). It was very good. The other 2 in our group both enjoyed their Eggplant Rollatini - ricotta stuffed eggplant with Sunday gravy, broccoli rabe and creamy polenta. The Affogato ice cream dessert was a nice way to end the meal. The staff was very nice; the place a little on the noisy side but not ridiculously so. A nice BYO that we will visit again. read more

They are so accommodating and the best service. Everyone is warm and personable and they remember us after a few times here. We shared a plain pizza. It was really good. I will ask for a little more sauce or cooked light. We shared a beet salad and it was a winner. The salmon was good. They make it 2 ways. The brussel sprouts were good. The soup was really good. One of my favorites. read more

The polenta was great but the eggplant was very undercooked. I sent it back but the second portion was also undercooked and I left it on the plate. My friend's pasta was al dente. I didn't enjoy my food but I did pay $102. read more

My family and I were looking for a place to eat after spending a full day at Peddlers Village. After seeing all of the positive reviews, we decided to come for dinner... and it did not disappoint. Everything we ate was delicious and fresh. The staff was very friendly and the service was great. They didn't try to push us out when we stayed a little past closing since we were a fairly large group. I would definitely come here again. read more

Stopped here after picking up our daughter at the Trenton train station. Had reservations and showed up late and still only had to wait a few minutes for a table on a very busy Saturday night. Ordered two pizzas, pepperoni and the Staggionale with a Caesar salad to start. Both pies were delicious and the salad was perfect. Atmosphere is great, a little noisy with a few big groups cackling but still an enjoyable even with the family. read more

This was an unexpected delight! Went for lunch and ordered the carbonara and gluten free Margherita pizza. The carbonara was delicious and the egg sauce was deliciously subtle and not overpowering like most places tend to serve. The homemade gluten-free pasta was so good and fresh. The Margherita pizza was prepared gluten free and Trenton style-crispy bottom dough/well-done. We also had the beet salad with goat cheese as our appetizer. The service was great and all were very accommodating. Plenty of parking in the back lot and felt very homey. Will definitely come back! read more

Very cozy Italian spot that should not be overlooked! I loved everything about the atmosphere here. It was warm and inviting. I could have sipped wine there all night. We started off with the wild boar ragu crostini which were wonderful and a big portion! The meat was tender and went perfectly with the ricotta. We also shared a pizza and the veal parm special. The pizza was great! Very flavorful and not stingy with the toppings. The veal parm was the most underwhelming part of the meal. It wasn't very flavorful or meaty. However, the polenta under the veal was top notch. I could have eaten a bucket of it. All in all, would definitely return! read more

Went for the first time last night and the food was delicious and service was awesome. Meredith, our server, was friendly and funny. Atmosphere is cozy and I liked how they had Italian cooking shows on silent on the TV in the background. My husband had eggplant over polenta and loved it. I had margerita pizza with garlic confit topping. Perfect and I'm very picky about pizza. The olives to start with were so good! It's a very large plate of olives with cubes of fresh parmigiana cheese. recommend. read more

The change over from Liberty Hall to Tavola Rustica is seamless. Still a byob but they do offer a few options from a local vineyard too. Still have delicious wood oven pizza but they also added more salads, boards, entrees and pastas. Super friendly server kept us happy throughout our meal, it was busy but not too crazy on a Thursday night and absolutely worth a visit in Lambertville. read more

Our second time visiting since September. We came for another birthday celebration. Christopher, our host, greeted us like old friends! He remembered where we had sat four months ago and that we had some gluten-free & vegetarian folks in our party. We sat at the same table and really enjoyed the white pizzas, the wild boar sample, and many other thoughtful extras to make our night wonderful! Can't wait for the next special occasion to come back! Thank you Christopher and the crew for being such champions of hospitality, good humor, & grace! read more

Food was OK. Pizza was a little bit burnt. There was not enough egg on the pizza. The pasta was not the usual pasta that we usually get from other places. The polenta was very delicious. The meat was so so the wine selection is from New Jersey and is very affordable and slightly above average in taste read more

Was looking forward to trying Tavola Rustica. The Menu offered much more than just Pizza and even though the Pasta dishes were a bit overpriced, it was a BYO, so we were all up for giving it a try. The atmosphere was nice, nice vibe and the Staff was very good. Two major issues I have with Tavola, one, the portion size was not proportionate to the entrees prices. You would have thought you were eating at a swanky upper west side NYC restaurant...... reality check, we were in Lambertville, NJ. The two pasta dishes pictured were over $20!! Mind you, the food was very good, just not enough of it for the price. The second issue while it really did not affect the evening, it will most likely be an issue in the future.... No Reservations!!! I have never understood why a restaurant does not take reservations, when I go out, I like to know there is a table ready for us. Would rather not wait an extended period of time for a table. They are however, willing to take a call when you are 15 minutes out and the table was ready for our party of 10..... isn't that a reservation? Something of note though, around 7pm the place was packed and anyone walking in would have had to wait. Service was great, we were not rushed and the pace of the Appetizers and Main Courses were great. Again, Staff was great as well. I don't think I would go back based on the price point and portion size as there are far better options that are cheaper with bigger portions. There are many positives here at Tavola and I wish them luck in the new location in Lambertville, but there will be no return visit for me. read more

I wish I lived closer, but we will travel over an hour to eat here. You will love it. Oh and the ambiance is so lovely. read more
