GDC President Shelby was host of our September dinner, and she selected Tavolo V, a restaurant new this year to the Delmar Loop. An Italian restaurant featuring mainly pizza & pasta with some additional surf and turf entrees, I really liked Tavolo V's curb appeal. A great open restaurant which spills out onto the sidewalk. If the weather had been nice, I would've loved to have sat outside. Not too busy the evening we attended, we were seated upon arrival, and the server was friendly. However, after that, service was a little slow. After one GDC'er ordered the calamari, and after seeing how good it looked, Shelby ordered her own, but this turned out to be her first disappointment. In her own words, "My drinks were absolutely delicious but my food left much to be desired. I
ordered a calamari appetizer after another diner's looked so good. Mine ended up
overcooked and under seasoned. I ordered chicken scaloppine which just seemed way
to thick to be a scaloppine and wasn't very well seasoned either." For the rest in attendance, the food was ok, but nothing spectacular. The same was true of the risotto I ordered. Maybe we should've tried the pizza? They did have Shock Top beer on tap which was enjoyed.
Have you tried Tavolo V? What do you think of this new Loop locale? Rate & review below!

A bit of a disappointment for me. The menu sounded great but failed to live up to my expectations.
