About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
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. This bistro type setting offers one of the premier intimate settings in the lower keys. All of our entrees are prepared fresh to order using only the freshest of ingredients. 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. When dinner is over look no further than Virgilios Martini Bar, located directly behind the restaurant. Virgilios offers an extensive Martini menu along with live entertainment 7 nights a week. This sexy speak easy sits just off of Duval street and is for sure to satisfy your pallet with refreshing libations.

    Strengths: - attention to detail exceeded expectations, especially compared to other KW dining experiences - custom pasta, you can ask for just about any modification and they deliver with excellence - bread service was outstanding. I laughed at a review that mentioned bread, until of course, I experienced this for myself. - Caesar salad - just bordered on overdressed and I loved that. Would suggest ordering it exactly as it comes. Worth noting: Interesting and familiar wine selection, for the winos out there. Cons: - Chicken Parm - lightly breaded was an understatement. Did not meet my expectations of chicken Parm. But it over delivered on the mozzarella factor. -Unclear if pasta is homemade. -;Beware the ocean front location is next to the airport. For some reason I thought it was near sunset. Ended up (happily) pivoting to Old Town. Excited to return next time we visit KW!

    Our waitress was very nice/friendly and efficient. I did find the host (young man) at the entrance in a sour demeanor. Otherwise, my experience was almost excellent.

    La Trattoria continues to maintain a high level of quality and service as a traditional, wonderfully consistent Northern Italian-inspired restaurant. The menu remains comprehensive and the selections top-notch. Everything seems to be carefully prepared to order - hot, attractive, delicious. The bar is equally competent with good sized drinks and a reasonably priced extensive wine list. This is heavy rich Italian food that satisfies nicely.
