Welcome to Oggi Trattoria!
Family owned and operated, Oggi makes every guest that dines here feel like they are part of the family, too.
In Italian, Oggi means “today,” and there’s no time like the present to be in the moment, enjoying a meal of fresh and delicious Italian food in the company of loved ones. The menu offers un classics like Grilled Octopus, Calamari, or Baked Clams as starters to whet the appetite. Pastas include favorites from housemade Gnocchi to Spaghetti Carbonara, Fettuccini Alfredo, and Lasagna. Meat dishes range from seafood and pasta dishes (try the Gamberi Alla Diavolo, linguine with a spicy shrimp and tomato sauce) to Saltimboca made with chicken or veal. Oggi’s menu features a wide range of pizza: both stuffed and thin crust, build-your-own or traditional. And it wouldn’t be an Italian family dinner without their homemade Tiramisù and Cannoli to finish off the meal. Come prepared to eat, and enjoy like you’re truly one of the family.

    We absolutely love Oggi. Lucy is the best, the service is always phenomenal and the food is always delicious. The bread gets a special mention because we’ve never had better bread than at Oggi. When you’re there, it feels so cozy and familial.

    The space itself is cute and intimate, with a family vibe to it. Not a big space so I would definitely call for reservations. Although we were the only ones in there, it was 5:30 pm on a Wednesday. Can't speak to what the situation is like on the weekend. Started out with the Carciofino Salad because it had marinated artichoke hearts, tomatoes, red onions, Italian vinaigrette. This was an okay salad, but nothing to write home about. 2nd/3rd course was the Rotolo Primavera (Tricolored pasta stuffed with ricotta cheese and spinach baked in red cream) and Chicken Parmesan. Since the chicken didn't come with pasta underneath, this was a good combination. This was my first time having Rotolo pasta, so it was interesting. It resembles a stuffed pasta roll, similar to a hye roller sandwich, at least for me. It looked as if the pasta had been rolled up with the stuffing and then maybe sliced? Anyway it was good. The Queen and my GF got the Linguine Alla Pescatore (linguini with fresh shrimp, calamari and chopped clams sautéed in special marinara sauce). Bot h stated that they enjoyed it very much. I would agree with one of the reviewers who tasted that the flavors are on the mild side. That is not necessarily a deal breaker for me, but I would say they are more subtle when compared to say Calo's. 4th course was Key lime Mascarpone cake. Again nothing special, as I would have preferred more key lime flavor but it was nice. I will give a shout to to the dinner rolls and the octopus. No idea what the sauce was for the grilled octopus but it was sooooo good with those rolls that me and The Queen got an extra order. I highly recommend dipping those heavenly soft rolls into that sauce and just enjoy. It was that good! There was plenty of street parking, but again this was a Wednesday night at 5:30 pm. But I wouldn't worry too much about it if you are going on the weekend as there isn't much down that way that would take up parking beyond the restaurant.

    This is a worn restaurant that has many years under its belt. So don't come for ambiance or the commercial radio playing overhead. I would come for the food. It was homey and comforting. Someone is definitely cooking with an open heart in the kitchen. I will definitely be ordering Oggi for take out.

    Good - food and portions for the price Not Good - SERVICE was super slow and not very attentive nor forthcoming even though we were one of 3 tables in restaurant at the time. Had to ask for bread even though the olive oil and Parmesan were already on the table. DRINKS were ok but not made the same way each time. Plus had limited wine options. Learned later that they service a large # of orders from delivery services. Based on our experience, it would seem that the restaurant diners were NOT the priority. Would not recommend

    Sat patio side on a week night, so nice and quiet aside from passerby’s (it’s on a Main Street in lovely downtown LaGrange). Menu was modern and updated. Very reasonable prices, especially considering the quality and taste of the food.

    A very disappointing experience. Out of 6 people, only 1 person liked their food! And, for an Italian restaurant, that's really unusual. My eggplant Parm was almost smothered in gloppy, not-good-tasting tomato sauce, and was not sliced thinly. Two of the guests left almost their entire chicken entree on their plates, and pronounced the dish "terrible". I had really expected to like this restaurant after reading some of the reviews---and we all agreed we'd never come back. Sorry, but Oggi's was just not good.

    The food was very good. Service was slow do to understaffing but that is a problem everywhere- and the servers working were great. Ambiance needs a little help, a few tweaks and it would be brighter and more inviting. Bar area is great.

    We wanted to find good Italian food to eat. The portion sizes here are huge, so technically you could split an entree with someone. They do a lot of online business , so the restaurant was literally empty. Fresh bread is awesome .

    Never been to this restaurant actually selected it because it was on restaurant week. I went for lunch. I had bruschetta as the appetizer … it was not fresh , tomatoes were drowned in balsamic.. I had chicken dish that was drowned in OIL so much oil look like soup . Dessert was the best - cannoli. The service was good , friendly and attentive.

    I took my family for New Years Eve. They give you an amazing fresh baked roll. You can tell that the pasta is fresh. The marinara is outstanding. We started with grilled calamari. It was so flavorful and tender. I always get the grilled octopus main. Did not disappoint. The service is friendly. Very welcoming atmosphere.

    We had never been to Oggi Trattoria but read the very positive reviews and thought it would be good to try. The food was wonderful as was the service. My husband and I shared an artichoke salad to start and then I had pasta with shrimp in a lemon and oil sauce, which was excellent, and my husband had veal Marsala, which was also excellent. We shared a delicious piece of Italian lemon cake for dessert. It was a very rewarding choice and we were glad we decided to try it.

    This is a small Italian trattoria with old school Italian food. We were the first patrons upon arrival at 5:00p. That quickly changed. Since it’s a small place, I would make reservations. The restaurant is nothing fancy, but if you want good Italian food like your grandma or mama made, come here. We started out with the grilled octopus. It was perfectly grilled and tender with a huge garlicy flavor. The dinner rolls are huge, heavy and oh so good. My husband ordered the spinach & ricotta shells topped with mozzarella. He shared one with me and it was very good. I had the gnocchi, which happens to be gluten-free because it’s made with potatoes. You can tell the pasta is homemade. The marinara was perfection and it reminded me of my mom’s and grandmother‘s sauce. The woman taking care of us was very nice. I noticed in the back there was Nonna watching over everything. You can tell this is a family business. It seems like it’s frequented by locals. At the end of the meal, I asked for a cappuccino but they didn’t have any. I was surprised that an Italian restaurant doesn’t have cappuccino. I was disappointed. Soon after our arrival, a couple arrived for drinks who seemed familiar with the staff as they gave the woman who was serving us a hug. The couple got in an argument and soon you could hear wine being thrown as glass was breaking. The couple left separately then returned separately, and the girl eventually sat at the bar crying. I was surprised that the owners/management didn’t take control. The man did offer to buy us drinks for the commotion. We said no and laughed uncomfortably saying he was our dinner entertainment. Truthfully, it didn’t look good for the business. Obviously, this is not an everyday occurrence so I would still recommend this restaurant for the good food and the old school vibes. You can skip the dinner entertainment!
