Tavolino Pizza & Lounge

From Lafayette and came for lunch/supper. We hadn’t really eaten all day so maybe that was some of the problem. We were waiting and stuff and perhaps we were too loud about our disappointment on the wait (it is made from scratch so I wasn’t too bothered but we got our pizza a little later then everyone else) and then the owner came and asked how everything was. That led to a loud conflict where attitude was given on both sides. Other than that, the pizza was pretty tasty and the cinnamon knot things were pretty good. The honey goat something sauce that can come with the knots was strong but not bad. It’s kind of like a unsweetened room temp cream cheese. Unfortunately, the bread was a little too hard for my braces and chewing into the bread bent my wire and my mouth really hurts. The pizza is thin crust btw. If not for the conflict, I’d say 4.5 stars. The waiter was really nice but a few mistakes were made. Someone at the table wanted pepperoni pizza and we were given cheese and once that was mentioned, nothing was done about it. And we asked for a substitution but it was not given. Not major mistakes.

AWESOME!!! AND AWESOME IS AN UNDERSTANDMENT!! From the time we walked through the door, to the table we sat at, to the customer friendly and abundant service, to the food and the mixed drinks by Dylan. Dylan is an amazing bartender, I haven't had a complete 💯 customer experience in a VERY long time. This place is refreshing experience all around.❤️ Thank you, Mrs. Otey

This is a great dinner option in Algier’s Point close to the ferry. Salads are massive. We got arancini for appetizer and 3 pizzas (thin crust): Margherita with added prosciutto, The Carne, & the Spicy Meatball. They use San Marzano tomatoes for the sauce and it’s wonderful. Happy hour saves you a couple dollars per cocktail/beer and ends at 6pm. Try the Last Word. The waitresses were very kind and attentive. I even left my card accidentally and they kept it safe for me.

Exceptional service and experience on a gloomy day around happy hour. Forget the gentleman’s name (he was an Arsenal fan) in the back bar but service was outstanding. A great happy hour with money off pies and brews. Had a couple juicifers with a vegan cheese vegetable pie. It was very good. I will be back for the service and to try the other pizzas. Recommend for a quick bite and drink across the river.

Excellent pizza. The staff was friendly and service was appropriate to a handmade pie. Not a large beer selection, but plenty of options for wine. Seating inside, at the small bar, or on the small deck. Right next door to the ferry snd walking along the jazz levy. No special view in the restaurant, but a cozy and friendly place with great pies and reasonable prices.

After my second experience at Tavolino, I decided it was worth a great review. From the moment you get to the side walk you smell the flavor of soul pouring out of the building. When you walk in you see that it comes with quite a bit of heart as well. They say that Algiers is one of New Orleans best kept secrets and this spot is exactly one of the reason's why. Not only is it very cute and has fluid and comfortable dining room, bar, or patio atmosphere's, it also has the friendliness and community to accompany. The pie's are very well made and I would dare say might top some of the other heavy hitters in town (sorry Domenica, sorry Ancora) but this is a next level pizza all together. We had the Red Goat which consisted of San Marzano tomato sauce, goat cheese, whole milk mozzarella, spicy coppa salami, red bell peppers, caramelized onions, roasted garlic, parsley & honey drizzle. To say the least this pizza was AMAZING! They had some of the best wine to pair in town and recommendations from our bartender were excellent. Our bartender, Ashleigh, was very courteous and knowledgeable about the menu. Everything she recommended was pure gold to the palette. Having Ashleigh as our guide really helped us evolve about food and life; anyone who doesn't tip her at least $20 minimum when they sit down is doing the world a disservice.

Great hole in the walk place. Hidden gem foe thin crust pizzas and drinks. They have $5 off on pizzas from 3-6 which is great. We enjoyed a variety of them including drinks and desserts. Dark chocolate icecream and tiramisu were amazing!! I would recommend this place to everyone. Take the $2 ferry ride from canal street ferry station and enjoy the food here.
