    Even thought I reserved many weeks in advance when we arrived there were 2 other tables occupied we were given a table away from the window when I asked to sit at a window table I was told they were reserved so I inquired as to how to reserved a window table I was told I needed to call and request 2 or 3 days prior!! Absurd I was smart enough to reserve well in advance and someone who called 2 days before got the better table. The food was fantastic the service just above mediocre but the treatment regarding the table was terrible, we had planned on going a second and third time since we are here for a month this treatment changed our mind to not return, shame host and management we come year after year and because of the poor host we won’t return. Shame great food childish host & manager!!

    Always one of our go-to for quality Italian themed dishes. Perfect Caeser chopped smaller than I remember rolled in plenty of lemon, opted for the marinated white Anchovies; yum. Had a special; 4 large scallops nicely seared not overcooked with a Parmesan risotto that stood the test of time, tangy, cream, very nice. Also we had linguini with Gorgonzola. Usually is it gnocchi with Gorgonzola but we made the switch and were delighted. It was just the right amount of sauce. Note: lately we have been noticing the 'too much salt' trend in many establishments, happy to report the chef and team here kept most of the salt in the shaker and allowed a clean flavor to emerge. We were thankful for that. We are aware that salt helps balance some flavors and we are not snobs about it, Don't miss this place, we always sit inside in the upper section for a super view of the water.

    La Trattoria Oceanside never ceases to amaze us! This is one of our favorite restaurants in Key West. Everything about this culinary destination is wonderful....the people, the food (amazing dishes - pasta / beef / chicken / seafood / DRINKS - great martinis) and the lovely dining atmosphere with a wonderful view of the Atlantic Ocean. The only downside is the noise level. The acoustics, especially when the restaurant is full, make it difficult to have a conversation at your table. It isn't impossible, but people talk louder to talk over the conversation of the tables around them. This culminates in a constant noise level with which your table will compete. Do not hesitate to reserve an evening for dinner at La Trattoria Oceanside. You will not be disappointed!

    La Trattoria OceansideResponded 5 days agoThank you for your feedback! We are challenged by our small location, so yes it gets a little noisy when we are crowded and everyone is enjoying dinner. We are glad you still had a wonderful time with us and we look forward to your next visit!

    What a great fine dining restaurant! We had the caprese salad, spaghetti bolognese, ravioli trattoria, and creme brûlée. Everything was done nicely & my wife raved about the ravioli. The bolognese was less balanced for my taste. A little heavy on the sausage. Still really good, but not what I expected. Best cream brûlée I’ve had in a very long time. And I had an great espresso martini! The service was outstanding and the restaurant has nice ambiance with a great view. Exceptional experience.

    La Trattoria OceansideResponded 5 days agoThank you Tom for dining with us! With so many great restaurants on the island we are delighted that you spent the evening with us! Our sauces are all homemade, as well as some of desserts, including the creme brulee ;) We are so happy you enjoyed them! And yes, a visit to La Trattoria without one of our award winning Martinis isn't complete! Thank you again for the kind words and we look forward to your next dinner with us!

    Service needs improvements. Room was very cold. Food was just average. Had to wait long periods of time for the server to return to our table and she was always in a rush to leave before we could finish our questions.

    There was no changing table in the bathroom so we had to change our 10 month old in the back of the car. Very inconvenient and of course had to do it right as our food arrived.

    Great food and excellent service!!’

    La Trattoria OceansideResponded on March 10, 2023Thank you Jack for sharing your feedback. We struggled with our AC units for quite some time and recently had them all replaced, so I am happy to know they are working! With such a large building, it is often difficult to adjust the AC to find a happy spot for everyone :( Our glass windows create a warmer climate in the front so adjusting the AC a few degrees makes a big difference in that area. If you are cold in the future, please don't hesitate to ask if you can be moved :) Thank you!

    My husband and I were in last night for dinner, we were sat inside which had great view of the water especially during sunset. Tiffany was our server and she was fantastic, very friendly and attentive and gave great recommendations. I had the fish special which was a hogfish and shrimp in a cream sauce over pasta and it was one of the best seafood dishes I’ve had in a long time, also the tiramisu and crème brûlée are amazing. The staff are all incredibly friendly and the service is always fantastic, definitely will be back and highly recommend.

Chicken parm was extremely over cooked the Alfredo was bland the Tortalini with sausage was awful! And the seafood ravioli was uneatable! Paid our bill left our food and left very disappointed!

    Food as always was delicious. We make sure to eat here at least once every time we visit the Key West area. Tonight We had as appetizers the stuffed mushrooms in the Parmesan cream sauce and the stuffed eggplant. For dinner we had the hog fish in a Parmesan cream sauce with nicely cooked green beans and rice, the chicken Saltimbocca with perfectly cooked prosciutto layered between the chicken and the cheese, and the scallops which were huge and nicely seasoned in a scampi sauce. Also, they have a great martini and wine list. The waste staff is professional, personable, and eager to please. Wonderful service. The inside of the restaurant can get noisy, but they have a few outdoor tables which are lovely and quiet. However, it does get windy there. La Trattoria Oceanside is a great place for dinner. We’ve never been disappointed.
