    Our waitress was fantastic. We asked to be moved to a new table as the noise was just awful. We couldn’t even hear our waitress explaining the specials. They were very accommodating to move up and away from all the noisy patrons. The food and service was great.

    The service at La Trattoria was outstanding!! Our server Catherine was top-notch! From the moment we got there until we left she made us feel so welcome, offered great suggestions and was truly a very nice person. We were so impressed with her! We went to Latitudes the following day (one of the top-rated restaurants in Key West) and the service we received there was disappointing compared to the service that Catherine provided at La Trattoria! Thank you Catherine for a nice night out! The ambiance is nice there as well. Loved the bread service and the chicken Marsala sauce, too!

    Was not the best experience. Although I’ve eaten there before, the eggplant appetizer was not very good…and both apps took a very long time to come to table.::some sort of mix-up. My pasta was ok. Overall A low rating this dining experience.

    Wonderful food and excellent service. Although there are a number of Key West restaurants with excellent food, I've found the service part to be sometimes lacking. La Trattoria Oceanside excelled on both fronts. Our server Chris was attentive but not hovering and did a fabulous job. My wife had the gamberi all provenzale e aragosta (shrimp and lobster) and she thought it wonderful. I had the seafood ravioli which was also great. It was her birthday and they made it special. The parking in the back was much appreciated, compared to the mess that can be old town. Great romantic restaurant with excellent food and service--highly recommend!

    Thank you so much for joining us for dinner. We are so glad you had a wonderful time! I passed on your suggestion to our GM regarding the non-alcoholic wine! Hopefully we can source that for a future visit! See you again soon!

    We enjoyed another wonderful romantic dinner with outstanding service, white tablecloths, ocean views and excellent food and drinks 🍸. An excellent list of wines and outstanding cocktails. We love the ability to take our time, have a cocktail, an appetizer and then select from a full menu with no rush. Plenty of free parking, which is rare in KW. We dine here every time we visit KW.

    We were visiting Key West for a week earlier this month and wanted a nice dinner close to our hotel on the east end of the island ("new town"), where the choices are limited because most of the restaurants are in the downtown area on the western end ("old town"). Numerous venues came up on a Yelp search, most of which we dismissed because they were either chain-type fastfood or had some negative factors. We'd been to Stock Island the night before for American cuisine, and this evening we wanted Italian. La Trattoria Oceanside came up and looked good, also close. First thing my wife noticed was their extensive wine list. If you're an oenophile, you will like it. We had a good zinfandel. For our appetizer we ordered the bruschetta, and I have to say it was about the best bruschetta I'd had since visiting Tuscany some 20 years ago--really that good, and I told our waiter so. My wife ordered the Piccata di Petti di Pollo (chicken piccata) and I had the Linguine con Pollo alla Parmigiana. Both were very satisfactory. I can vouch for hers because she shared the leftover with me subsequently. both indoor and outdoor seating are available. We had chosen indoors, glad we did because outdoor seating has TV screens to distract.
