Amazing pizza, amazing food, and amazing atmosphere. Christopher might be the nicest man on the planet and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. If you want a great BYOB meal, look no further! read more

This place is just incredible!! The ambience is amazing, the food is otherworldly good!!! They make their bread in house and all of their ingredients are local. The service is just the best! Very kind, hard working people who really love their craft and it shows!!! read more

The atmosphere of the restaurant was quite lovely. We came in on a quiet Monday evening and there were a couple of tables occupied with one server/hostess and I believe the manager as another server. The food were good. We started with the panelle board and it was actually better than expected. A little filling for me, personally, so best to share with others. We also shared a jersey tomato salad and it was very refreshing. I had the salmon while my partner had the cuore della nonna. I enjoyed my salmon but unfortunately, my partner found his sausage a little undercooked for his taste. All in all, we had a great evening and for the most part, enjoyed our meal very much. Would love to come back sometime in the future. read more

The pizza was delicious. The service was good. It was a bit loud in the space and probably could support a second server.

Fantastic! A great experience from the moment we arrived and we're greeted with a smile. Very relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. Service was friendly and quick. The food was perfect. Great pizza and that wasn't the best thing we ate. The salads were incredible. If you've read any of my reviews, you know I love when salads or any cold items are served on cold plates. It's those little things that differentiate between 4 and 5 stars. Can't wait to go back and next time I'll save room for dessert read more

Really interesting and delicious seasonal menu. Can't wait to get back and try the pizza.

What a hidden gem! Marianna was a fabulous server. The food was fantastic! We had the Fall menu and between the 8 of us, ordered almost everything on the menu to share. The front room's ambiance was really nice and cozy. We will definitely be back to try all their menus. read more

Outstanding. We went on their third or fourth day open and completely blown away. We had a couple of antipasti and a few pizzas. Now. I was a big supporter of the previous owners and I miss them terribly. But Travola is keeping the quality up and the service kind. We plan to put them in our rotation. read more

Excellent atmosphere, great Napoli style pizza, one of the best Caesar salads I've had.

The food and service is consistently good. The dining room, when full, is loud and can make conversation hard to hear. The menu is varied and has many gems. I highly recommend Tavola Rustica overall, BUT if you require gluten free food as I do, DO NOT ORDER THE PASTA! I experienced a serious reaction after eating the GF pasta. The next time I came into the restaurant I asked one of the managers (maybe he was an owner?) and he promised me that if I ordered GF pasta, it was indeed GF pasta. On a subsequent visit I learned from my server that the GF pasta is prepared in the same water as the regular pasta. I appreciate that Tavola Rustica has other good GF options and I've never had any difficulty with their GF pizza which is delicious. If you require gluten free food using gluten free preparation, avoid the pasta here. read more

We were a group of 9 people who had not seen each other in awhile. Needless to say we were chatty and took our time. There was no rush from the business and the service was excellent. The food portions were large and the pizza was fantastic also. I hope this restaurant gets the business it deserves! Well done! read more

I placed an online order for three pies to pick up at a specific time, which the ordering system allowed, and then received a text 15 minutes before pickup that the order was ready. Needless to say I arrived at my scheduled time and the pies were already less than fresh. After getting back home...barely above room temperature. Needless to say I am very dissatisfied with the service, especially as this was our first time eating or ordering from here. read more

Delicious food, comfortable atmosphere and friendly staff! The pasta was some of the best I've had in a long time. Looking forward to returning and trying their pizza! read more

Great food. Everything our party of 7 had was really good, the servers were great. The vibe was fun. Highly recommend

Food was excellent. And the place is cute! The ingredients are fresh and the staff was lovely

we stopped in to try the newest pizza place , in the spot where Liberty Hall pizza used to be . Sadly not a satisfying replacement food wise . The pizza was bland and had very minimal cheese or sauce . it did look pretty . The kale salad was generous and decent but the vinaigrette was heavy on vinegar . The interior is very handsome and staff was friendly and attentive. Prices like every where have gone up . Two pizzas two salads and tap water tan us 85$ before a tip . read more

Great that you're here, everything was delicious! Is it possible to dim the lights a bit, for a more stylish atmosphere in your lovely dining room? read more

Food was good as was the service. We both had pizza. It was good , there are better pizzas in the area. I would still return.

Excellent find (thanks Yelp). We shared the burrata salad and the papparadelle with wild boar , mushrooms and truffle oil. Loved every bite and nice portions! The food, service and ambiance all 10/10. read more

First time eating here, and I really enjoyed it! I had the veal Osso Buco, which was much more refined than I expected, and not the typical big, heavy plate, as well as the Nutella mousse, and both were excellent. The owner was around, and very engaged with the customers and was giving out free samples of focaccia, which also was great. Very nice addition to the neighborhood and definitely recommend it. I will be coming back again for sure. read more

If you want quality food with attentive and kind workers this is the place to go. Coupled with beautiful atmosphere and a kind owner. If your an the area you should definitely stop by and order the fig and prosciutto pizza it's amazing. read more

Had a lovely evening last night with party of ten-all dishes were good and Sean and his trainee did a great job with service. Great place have been several times always have good time read more

Came here to have pizza and saw they had short ribs. My goodness, it was the best short ribs I ever had. My husband and I really enjoyed the entire experience. Everything we ate was outstanding. The staff was efficient and very friendly. We will definitely come back. The food was not what we expected from a pizza place. It's much more. Do yourself a favor, COME HERE, you won't regret it. read more

Excellent new kid on the block in Lambertville. Had the lamb skewer appetizer; served perfectly cooked accompanied by a rosemary aioli. Yummy. The veal Osso bucco followed. A favorite of mine, this one hit the mark. Soft, tender meat and velvety fat, juicy and satisfying. Really enjoyed the side potatoes and veg. Do not miss the Tiramisu. Outstanding in an area where Tiramisu is on over half the menus. Service was warm, professional and efficient. Could not ask for a nicer young lady. A pleasant, inviting atmosphere I'll certainly visit again and again. read more

Came on a date night with my fiancé after spending the afternoon in New Hope. We had a reservation for 7:15 but arrived 20 mins early and they were happy to seat us. We ordered a bottle of Pinot Grigio which unfortunately they were sold out of but were suggested an alternative by the "chef". It turned out to be one of the best wines I've ever had. We shared a plate of Bruschette Estiva which was so light and refreshing, and two pizzas. Everything was delicious, our waiter was so nice and attentive, the lighting and decor was romantic, and the owner even stopped by our table to talk about our meal and it turned out HE was the one who suggested our wine alternative. Upon leaving every employee wished us a good night and my fiancé and I left with full tummy's and good vibes. 10/10 would recommend. We'll definitely be back. read more

Happened upon this great resturant in Lambertville, NJ. We were looking for a place to celebrate our 41 wedding anniversary, and The manager, Chris, made this a perfect spot. The food choices were excellent. The service and ambiance were perfect for the evening. read more

Returned back for a early dinner with the family and had Cesar and Burrata salads and both were fantastic ! Fresh crisp greens , delicious dressings and the burrata was absolutely perfect. The thing I've noticed about this restaurant is that they pay attention to the ingredients , procuring the freshest ones avail and you taste it . I also had the gnocchi which were light as air in a thick tomato sauce with plenty of grated parm on top . Keep up the good work folks ! read more

Service was good but food was terrible. Two items on the menu we ordered were terribly salty. Would not recommend. There are better restaurants in Lambertville. read more

We were really excited about this place opening. The restaurant itself is beautiful and designed well. The service was really nice but our order took a long time. We enjoyed the salad - simple and fresh. The pizza was bad- the pizza base was sweet and the sauce was flavorless. read more

Had a wonderful first dinner experience here tonight. Our server was very wonderful, super informative and helpful in making our decisions. They carry all organic sodas which I especially loved as a non drinker. The Brussels sprouts appetizer special was sensational, layered over poached pears, onions, topped with hazelnuts and gorgonzola cheese. Such wonderful textures and juxtaposition of sweet and savory. Nice sized portion for sharing however I ate the entire plate! My boyfriend had the lamb skewers and arugula salad with citrus (both of which I tried were tasty!) We had to try the pizza which you could add an array of topping options too. I added garlic confit and prosciutto to mine. So fresh and cooked to perfection. Very excited about the leftovers! Pasta with boar ragu and truffle also spectacular. Kudos the friendly and attentive staff who we enjoyed speaking to, felt very homey and will be returning very soon. read more

Great food, atmosphere and service plus BYOB if you want. Otherwise they have a small wine list. Prices are reasonable.

Beautiful new spot by gracious owners/hosts doubling as expeditors/bussers. Fantastic pizza. Excellent osso buco. Simple, rustic sides. Great seasoning all around. I'm surprised they're only a few weeks old! read more

Apart from dining there by ourselves, we also hosted a large party of over twenty people that might seem daunting to a restaurant that only opened two weeks earlier but no, the service was seamless and the food outstanding. We had four courses that were spaced perfectly. Everyone was impressed and raved about the food. Apart from the entrees, a quick comment about their pizzas. We have sampled all the pizzerias in the area and this will now be our go-to place. If you're into dessert, the Tiramisu is incredible. Kudos to Christopher Dimitri and the chef! This is a winner. read more

Hosted today by the inimitable Christopher, Tavola Rustica is welcoming, comfortable, and everything on the menu is made from scratch. We could not have asked for a more wonderful experience. We're so happy to find a nearby restaurant where everything tastes good and they make you feel as though nothing makes them happier than serving you. A local gem! read more
