A new Italian eatery is set to open next week. La Tavola Ristorante  will be open on Route 100 with an extensive wine list, full bar, authentic Italian menu and lounge. The owners, Fernando and Soa Uva, and manager Tony Lavalle run Tavola’s in Provincetown, Cape Cod, Rhode Island and Florida in addition to the new Vermont location.

“We’re like restaurant gypsies,” said LaValle. “We like to adapt and get into the town. We’re all here.” This is the latest in a series of restaurants that have opened in Ludlow recently. Sam’s Steakhouse reopened in July after Mark Williams, the owner of Mr. Darcy’s restaurant next door, purchased the building.
