5. La Tavola

Veal was tough (not fresh), probably been sitting in the oven all night. Otherwise meal was pretty good. Wine is a bit expensive. Carpacio and bruschetta good.

In a word....FANTASTIC!!! Not cheap, not unreasonable, great food at a price that is fair for the quality you recieve. It will will be a regular stop for me when I visit Baltimore.

Enjoyed a delightful meal and excellent service. We started with the Antipasto Italian, a delightful combination of meats and cheeses (sweet buffalo mozzarella and a smooth, tasty romano) and calamari fritti (fritti perfectly). I had the Linguine allo Scoglio (Shrimp, scallops, mussels and clams tossed with linguini in a spicy tomato sauce) and my wife had the Rosette di Vitello Alla Parmigiana (thinly sliced veal topped with eggplant and mozzarella cheese in a tomato sauce), both the best we have ever tasted. We topped the evening off with a capuccino and Tiramisu. The Tiramisu was perfect and still mouthwatering the next morning. My wife, who always adds two scoops of sugar to her capuccino almost asked them to take it back because her habit of adding sugar actually hurt the flavor. Yes, the value is only "average" because the overall price for everything was about equal to other great Italian restaurants I know and visit frequently. I will definitely stop in again the next time I am in Baltimore.
