LaTrattoria Old Town has been serving Authentic Italian cuisine since 1983. This is our original and flagship location located in the heart of Key West at 524 Duval Street.

Our signature dish, Yellowtail snapper, is locally caught daily and prepared fresh with garlic, capers and tomatoes in a lemon white wine butter sauce--it is to die for.

    My daughter had pasta and said it was 6 on a scale of 10. I had the hog fish and would give it a 9. The sauce was a bit heavy for me, but tasty. Service was great. Quiet, clean, and had an upscale Italian feel to it.

    Great service and food. They sat us next to the check-in area so that was a pain but overall, it was pretty good. I would go there again and ask for a table away from the door.

    We chose this restaurant to celebrate our daughter's 13th birthday, hoping it would be a memorable occasion. Unfortunately, the experience turned out to be quite disappointing. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a dimly lit atmosphere that felt unsettling rather than cozy. The table they seated us at was cramped, barely accommodating four guests, leaving us feeling squished and uncomfortable. To make matters worse, the waiter had an unusually rude demeanor; he seemed impatient and dismissive, which made us feel unwelcome. After the main course, we decided not to stay for dessert, as the overall vibe was just not right for a birthday celebration. It was a letdown, and we left feeling quite disappointed.

    We arrived early for our reservation, were seated, and still received a call from the restaurant reminding us about the reservation—which was confusing. Apparently, the host hadn’t checked us in properly. We were underwhelmed by our experience. The food was just okay for me, but my partner was particularly disappointed. He ordered a dish that was supposed to be centered around eggplant, but instead it was overloaded with tomatoes and had only a small amount of eggplant. After checking some reviews, we saw others had mentioned similar issues—so this seems to be a recurring problem, not just a one-off substitution. Another downside: a diner nearby was on FaceTime during the meal, and staff didn’t intervene, even though it was disruptive to others. Overall, the food was average at best. Coming from the NYC area, we expected a better dining experience.
