Overall nice comfortable place to eat at a casual resort..Service was fine. Only real negative was my particular food choice- chicken Marsala. Chicken was hard to cut with a knife...either freezer burnt or over cooked...basic plate was warm....SENT BACK ! Ended up with wife's blackened salmon..Burning hot and quite good..Soup n dessert were fine...Rethink menu when ordering

A live band was playing, many couples were dancing, the lighting was cool and modern inside, tropical and casual outside. The food was unique in flavors as well. We only ate the Italian options and did not taste the Japanese options.

Amazing Authentic Italian Experience! We visited La Trattoria last Saturday while in Naples, and it was an incredible experience. The quality of the food was outstanding. We had the Quattro Formaggi pizza, and it truly tasted like authentic Italian pizza—the dough, the sauce, and the cheese were all top-notch. The funghi risotto was perfectly cooked, just the right al dente texture, and the carbonara was absolutely delicious. Our waiter, Kevin, was kind and super efficient, as was the rest of the staff. The service was quick and attentive, which made our experience even better. The only slight downside was that the music was a bit loud, but it still added a lively vibe to the atmosphere. Overall, a fantastic meal and experience! Highly recommend.

The food was outstanding. This is a repeat for sure. Beer selection, especially on draft was weak. Options were very limited.
