A word from Trattoria Fantastica

Many restaurants in Little Italy have become destinations, among them the Busalacchi family's Trattoria Fantastica. The rustic décor features a relaxed country-style feel throughout the restaurant, including the delightful patio. The wonderfully welcoming atmosphere celebrates yet another delicious… Sicilian food lineup, including wood-fired pizzas and all that you would expect from an authentic Italian menu. The terrific entrées show the Sicilian influence, and fill the restaurant with great aromas. Wood-fired pizzas are popular beginnings in this authentic Italian country setting. Enjoy a taste of Italy with an assortment of fabulous pasta dishes. Patio dining is available.Continued

"Great spot in Little Italy. Not as overpriced as some of the others we walked by.
We made a reservation and were promptly seated and given delicious pita bread and oil/vinegar.
Wine list was nice, we each ordered a glass, although the red was too warm.
The food was amazing! My Spaghetti Bolognese sauce was the best I ever had/very meaty. My husband had rigatoni with the same sauce and some olives & tomatoes. He also said his was great!
Great food and service and our bill was less than $50!
We went to the connected pastry shop next door and bought some desserts to take back to the hotel to eat. Good cake and biscotti for about $4."
