This is a new Italian restaurant where Stefano's used to be, on Huntingdon Pike (Second Street Pike/Rt. 232) in Huntindon Valley (near Red Lion Road), PA. I'm trying to find a menu to get an idea of dining options and pricing. Thanks! Mon Oct 05 11:59:21 -0700 2009 163990 cheflynnie 1 5081244 Yes, its excellent! I highly recommend the lamb polpetti as an appetizer and the gnocchi for an entree. There are many other things on the menu I want to try, but you can only eat so much at a time! Price-wise, its on the higher end but very well worth it. Its the second restaurant from Chef Augusto Jalon. If you've been to his other (Augusto's in Warminster) then you know the quality of his food & service. The tradition carries on at Tavolo. The ricotta cheesecake for dessert was also very good. It is a BYOB so if you like some wine with dinner remember to pick up a bottle on the way. Mon Oct 05 17:39:47 -0700 2009 5080381 1114160 smeesh 2 5082681 I went with my Italian friends. The pasta was overcooked, the risotto was not cooked enough, we asked if the owner was italian so we could talk to him but we were told that he is from Brasil. We have nothing against Brasilian people but we were just wondering why the Italian "wanna be"? From a scale 1 to 10, we gave a "4".

For starters, several people had the bisque and raved about it. The Caesar salad was perfectly dressed and presented. I had the arrancini... perfect with beautiful presentation and a surprise I won't give away. Lots of us went for the PORK brasciola - tender and succulent. Others had swordfish and chicken.. Everyone was pleased. The brasciola was presented with some risotto... soewhere between al dente and crunchy. I will agree with Val-1's comment about this. I guess its just an idiosyncracy of the chef. Service was very professional. Highly recommended. Thu Nov 05 06:00:27 -0800 2009 5080381 1097354 Dave_in_PA
