La Tavola

The wine list at La Tavola fits the room — rustic, Italian, and not trying too hard. It leans heavily into the peninsula and does at least stay thematically coherent with the Sardinian-leaning menu. Don't come here expecting surprises, but don't come expecting embarrassment either.

The list keeps a tight Italian focus, which makes sense given the kitchen's direction under its newer Sardinian ownership. You'll find the expected Northern Italian whites — Pinot Grigio, Vermentino, Sauvignon Blanc — alongside a Chardonnay that probably isn't doing anyone any favors. The Sardinian Vermentino is where things get genuinely interesting, nodding to the restaurant's culinary identity in a way the rest of the list doesn't bother to. Gaps are real: no reds are called out in the available data, which at a Little Italy spot in Baltimore feels like a miss.

Eight options by the glass is a workable number, and the spread covers the basics — sparkling (Prosecco, a Sparkling Rosé), a couple of whites, and the Rosé Audarya. The rotation doesn't appear to change much, which is fine for a neighborhood regular but won't reward repeat visitors looking for something new.
