    This is a lovely neighborhood restaurant. The food was mostly very good, and the service was super. I highly recommend the beef ribs, and artichoke appetizer. They really need to redecorate though. It’s giving Buca de Beppo vibes, with plastic flowers and “laundry” hanging from the ceiling. This aesthetic doesn’t match the delicious food, and hip neighborhood. It was also very loud, so some decor to absorb sound would also be helpful. Overall, I would still recommend this place, and hope that they redesign it.

    Started with wine and crispy burrata - great choice, can't wait to try a different one next time (yes there will be several nexts). He got the Cacio e Pepe, I got the Bucatini a la Pesto. Mine was labeled a favorite and the flavor was off the charts. So good. He finished his entire order, so his was enjoyed as well. We then moved onto the tableside Tiramisu. FANtastic. This place is a gem. We can't wait to make it more of a rotation! Buon Natale!

    We had a lovely experience at Trattoria for a pre-Christmas girl’s night. Our waiter was very attentive and helpful with making wine and food selections. Our favorites were the Brunello di Montalcino, bruschettone, spicy vodka rigatoni and the chocolate lava cake! The ambience was like being in a small Italian village, very unique. We will be back for sure!

    Cute little spot. It was busy. Decor was fun, but not very inviting. Service was what you would expect in Italy. Fun server, but slow. Food was mediocre. Not bad, but I would not visit again.
