Dinner

Trattoria La Tavola is a longtime favorite, consistent food, warm service, and the kind of dining room where you end up talking to the next table.

Why it matters for buyers

Walkability to this stretch is a durable value driver. Homes within a few blocks of State Street consistently attract a wider buyer pool than comparable homes a mile out.
