Dining at Trattoria Italia is like being transported to the real deal in Italy! There are so many authentic touches - from an incredible array of wines, real wood furnishings, servers with charming Italian accents, but most importantly, there is obvious pride in serving finest Italian cuisine! Their garlic knots are insanely fresh and delicious! Then for an opening appetizer we had the zucchini blossoms stuffed with ricotta and herbs, lightly breaded and fried. I wanted more but knew I wouldn’t have room for the entree! Once again we ordered the lobster ravioli - absolutely scrumptious! The sauce is just flat-out decadent! Our server, Rosella, was very gracious, and recommended their cannolis for dessert. We happily agreed! Rosella was unobtrusively attentive and helpful, yet we enjoyed being able to relax and enjoy a leisurely afternoon that felt like being in a trattoria in sunny Italy! We’ve been here before for dinner, when they have live musicians playing dinner music - so pleasant and enchanting! This is great neighborhood gem, and a wonderful place to bring any holiday guests if you’re running low on hostess ambition and stamina!

I enjoyed the ambiance and the food was delicious, although I don’t recommend this place if you are looking to have a full meal. This is more of a lounge than a restaurant with small food portions on the pricier side. The band was amazing. Overall my husband and I had a nice time but in the future we will go out to dinner first before heading to the Rouge Room for drinks and live music.
