Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Druid Hills

La Grotta is such a wonderful restaurant with amazing service and incredibly delicious food. We started with the two chilled bufala mozzarella appetizers which were so fresh and so unbelievable. We could have eaten two more of these dishes, they were that good. I ordered the appetizer special Linguine al Vongale and it was quite good but I would prefer it without the Calabrian spicy sausage. My daughter and I both ordered the veal scallopini dishes, one with lemon sauce and one with mushrooms, and they were phenomenal. so tender and delicious. My husband ordered the Penne Bolognese and the portion was HUGE and unbelievably good. I could not stop taking a bite from his meal. My son ordered the gnocchi which was tender and fluffy. It was prepared in a more northern Italy manner with some definite germanic/swiss flavors. We loved our meal and the panna cotta was out of this wold.

Food and customer service has never failed us. Carlos was attentive to our table and he didn’t miss anything we needed. Thank you another lovely Sunday dinner

My wife is an exceptional cook and has a motto that reads : it’s not worth the calories , if something is not up to snuff. La Tavola is her favorite restaurant

What a surprising brunch experience! My partner and I were looking for somewhere that seemed a little different than the usual eggs/meat/potatoes combination you can find in so many places, and this place was it. The space is beautiful, the service was wonderful, and the food was even better than it sounded on the menu. They had a good crowd, but even so the noise level was mild. They suggest making reservations, and I would do so, just to be sure you secure a seat. You'll be sad to have to miss out on this place!

We decided to give our favorite breakfast/brunch spot a visit on a Saturday after thanksgiving which could have been a risk but to our luck it wasn’t busy at all. Our waitress was as very attentive and our food came out fresh. The starter biscuits and muffins were a hit per usual. The sweet tea needs some work because it tasted like water and let’s be honest we’re in the south we love our sweet tea. Also I want to shout out to Brian for checking in on us and making sure our food and service was going well.
