About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
Tratto is headed by Chris Bianco who is a James Beard award-winning chef. Reservations are highly recommended as the seating fills fast. Parties over six are required to have reservations. Walk-ins are always available at the bar top on a first come first served basis. The menu is small but well thought out and balanced. Try the Farinata, which is a thin savory chickpea crepe. Fill up on a pan seared double-cut pork chop or the grilled two wash ranch piccolo chicken. Tratto has a small wine list heavily focused on Italian reds and whites that will perfectly compliment the cuisine. Cocktails and draft beers are also available.

    Found Tratto by searching fine dining in Phoenix. Did not know then how renowned the owner chef was. Four of us had drinks, very good, reasonably priced, good pours. Madison, our server gets 5 stars. Ambiance is eclectic and welcoming. We shared dinner family style with a salad, two pastas, the pork chops and then the birthday cake dessert. The food is excellent. We will be back.

    So excited to have gone to Tratto. The food was amazing - possibly the best steak I’ve ever tasted. The family style approach was the perfect call.

    We visited for the first time and had a generally enjoyable experience, though not without a few missteps. The ambiance leans into shabby chic—perhaps a bit too heavily. While the style works in places, the peeling paint on the ceiling feels more neglect than design and detracts from the atmosphere. Service, however, was excellent—attentive, warm, and well-paced. As for the food, it ranged from good to outstanding, with a few disappointments along the way. We started with the focaccia and whipped ricotta, a perfectly balanced sweet-savory opener. The little gem salad was generously portioned (nothing “little” about it) and full of flavor. We also tried the special appetizer, an onion dip served with daikon radish. Unfortunately, both the dip and vegetables were overwhelmingly salty, and the radishes were unusually tough. Our entrées were more satisfying. The fettuccine al limone was bright and delicious—light but comforting. It would have been exceptional with the option of added protein, which the menu did not offer. The sliced New York strip steak was flavorful and well-prepared, but at $85, it didn’t quite justify the price. We added the crispy potatoes as a side. While they lived up to their name in texture, they were slightly undercooked and served with crispy herbs that didn’t add much (and weren’t especially pleasant). The aioli, however, was excellent. Dessert was the highlight: a chocolate sticky toffee pudding that was absolute perfection. All in all, it was a pleasant night out. Still, the experience felt about 30% overpriced given the uneven quality of the food and the high noise level in the dining room. Worth a try, but not quite a must-return—at least not yet.

    We had a great meal at Tratto last night. We arrived right at 5:00 when the doors opened and were quickly shown to our table. The historic interior with its tin-plate ceiling was very cool and we loved the way the interior was laid out with the large openable garage door for good weather. We were quickly provided with water and a tiny appetizer to start. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu options and did a good job of translating the menu to answer our questions. We alerted her that we needed to leave by 6:30 for the theater and she worked well to make that happen. She took our drink order of two cocktails and two glasses of wine and those were promptly provided. The four of us decided to eat "family style and chose the house focaccia with whipped ricotta and honey, little gen lettuce salad, Fettucini al' limone, spaghettino, Cacio e pepe, a halibut special and polenta. Our server did a good job of timing the delivery of the various plates and clearing to old plates. Every plate was delicious, with the polenta being the absolute favorite among our group. We skipped dessert in order to get to the theater, but we definitely will be coming back. With theater reservations for 7:00, we did feel a bit pressed for time. I wish Tratto would open a bit earlier or at least open the bar a bit earlier than 5:00 so that we could have had our drinks in hand and reviewed the menu before we were seated at 5:00.

    Tratto is simply phenomenal in every way. The food is always exceptional, made from scratch and filled with love. We had the wonderful focaccia with whipped ricotta, the divine little gems salad and 2 pastas. Each was better than the next. Our server, Matthew, is a gem. He was knowledgeable, attentive without being remotely intrusive, warm and funny - he made a spectacular meal and even more spectacular evening. Thank you, Chef Bianco, for giving Phoenix this gift.

    Next level dining experience! Food was generous in portions and everything was prepared to perfection. What could top that? The SERVICE! Addison was exceptional in all areas, 10 out of 10!!! The support staff was seamless in providing exactly what we needed when we needed it. I worked in all facets of F&B over a 40 year career and I can honestly say that Tratto exceeded our expections X 10!
