La Tavola sits on 1st Avenue in Grandview Heights, run by Chef Rick Lopez and Krista Lopez, who also own Lupo. The kitchen works from scratch — handmade pastas, fresh-baked breads — using seasonal, regional ingredients sourced locally alongside imports from Italy. A specials menu changes weekly alongside the standing dinner menu.
Reviewers describe an intimate, homestyle room and consistently point to the pasta and house-made touches as the draw. Columbus Monthly named La Tavola among the city's best restaurants in 2025.
