LaTrattoria Old Town has been serving Authentic Italian cuisine since 1983. This is our original and flagship location located in the heart of Key West at 524 Duval Street. This bistro type setting offers one of the premier intimate settings in the lower keys. All of our entrees are prepared fresh to order using only the freshest of ingredients. Our signature dish, Yellowtail snapper, is locally caught daily and prepared fresh with garlic, capers and tomatoes in a lemon white wine butter sauce--it is to die for. When dinner is over look no further than Virgilios Martini Bar, located directly behind the restaurant. Virgilios offers an extensive Martini menu along with live entertainment 7 nights a week. This sexy speak easy sits just off of Duval street and is for sure to satisfy your pallet with refreshing libations.

    Service was great. Good portions for the money. My wife and I easily shared a pasta dish. The chicken Marsala was so good. Best sauce I have ever had.

    We made reservations on Open Table and were seated within 15 minutes of our time in a white cloth covered table and instant service. The host that welcomed us was professional and friendly. We ordered the snapper entree, caprese salad with a special cheese (can’t remember name), and several other dishes. Everything was outstanding. It was a great meal experience.

    This place was great! From the mi ure we walked in to leaving all things were top cabin. Waiter was at Entice , service was quick and professional. The Old fashioned was perfect and I go everywhere to test old fashions. I had the veal piccata which was thin and tender and a perfect lemon caper sauce with the classic roasted potato and asparagus on the side. The cause were good, but I prefer my shells a bit more crispy. You know it’s good when you want to go back again. La dolce vita!

    We happened upon this restaurant on Duval St and were pleasantly surprised. The food and service were excellent and the prices were reasonable. If you are looking for an alternative to casual Key West food and want a nice dining experience, this restaurant is a good choice. We will definitely be back on our next visit.

    Absolutely perfect. The staff was great, the food even better, plenty of local seafood options and choices for land lovers too. We had a good variety at the table and each of us thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. Thanks
