Reservation was easy to check in, they called me and sat us right away. The dining room has a great private atmosphere. It was pretty loud and I wasn’t able to hear the person I was dining with frequently. The food was delicious though. The bucatini pasta dish was amazing and the tiramisu was delicious. They gave a large portion of the tiramisu.

Lovely cosy Italian restaurant with great food. We were in early so it was on the quieter side but starting to get a healthy Sat night buzz as we left. Definitely seemed like a local favourite & nicely styled. Menu is fab!

If you order a salad or an appetizer and a bottle of wine before the main course. The wine will never arrive. And the appetizer will be served after the main course. Make sure to explain to the waiter how you want your meal. The restaurant seems to be over staffed but somehow they cannot get it right.

The food was not bad but also not great. The service was bad. Waitress got the drink order wrong twice. It went downhill from there.

Our waitress was the best! The restaurant is absolutely beautiful! The bad part is the food! It was not good and it’s not cheap. I ordered the seafood pasta and it was Not worthy of the price they charge for it. We also ordered the pomadoro pasta. It was not tasty at all. Disappointed in the level of food.

I had given up on this restaurant because of the previous manager. I had a terrible experience at Ranch Saloon at the rodeo in 2023, and I mentioned it to the mgr when I took a friend to Trattoria soon after that. He was so incredibly dismissive (as was the mgr at the Saloon) like the entire evening should have been expected because of the large crowd. Then the waitress would not let me order what I wanted from the lunch menu, and overcharged my friend and me. I’m so happy to try y’all again. The food was delicious today, and Luca was a fabulous waiter! Now I’ll be back on a regular basis with my family!

We had a wonderful meal here, a year ago… today’s lunch, unfortunately, was a big disappointment. Despite the valet who insisted on parking our car for us (in the almost completely empty parking lot), to the extremely slow service and tired plastic plants decorating the patio, we maintained hope for the food. The beet salad was amazing as was the Caesar. The potato hash with eggs was not good and the seafood pasta special was left unfinished by teenaged-son who LOVES pasta. Hoping it can turn things around - it HAS been lovely in the past.
