Reviews Summary
La Tabella is highly praised for its delicious and authentic Italian cuisine, with many highlighting the generous portions and excellent value, particularly the lunchtime and early evening offers. The atmosphere is consistently described as warm and welcoming, often enhanced by live music on weekends. While most reviews are glowing, a few diners have noted occasional issues with service speed and a past complaint about a specific dish not meeting expectations.
"Did the lunchtime deal with mum on a Friday afternoon. Booked online as I know it's a smallish place and with the festive season upon us I thought it would be busy - I was right! £15.95 for any pizza or pasta, plus a beer, wine or soft drink. Duck pizza for me was beautiful and mums seafood pasta disappeared in record time so I'm guessing it was nice! Lovely service, clean, great menu, and the included drink selection was much better than other deals of its type I have seen. This was our second visit, and most certainly will not be our last!"

"Last week I tried La Tabella’s midweek offer - two course for £19.50. I was instantly impressed by the menu, particularly the selection of pasta dishes (swipe for a cheese pull😍).
I had a lovely experience, everything we tried was flavourful and the customer service was great! I will definitely be returning, even just for the ‘granchio mac and cheese’, a seafood and cheese lovers dream! 🍤🧀

"Not impressed. Would not recommend considering the amount of choice in Southport. Go elsewhere. I live in Southport and eat out 3-4 times a month, but I will never be going back here again.
Lasagna tasted like it had been made days ago and reheated, dry and bland.
One of the waitresses was rude bordering on ignorant the whole time we were there. (the other two were good) seemed to want to rush us constantly and was very short with us."
