We visited Trattoria a few days after they just opened. Inside was massive! Lots of tables and private area. I like the interior designs too! However, I was a bit disappointed, there was no complementary bread, portions were small, slow service, etc. But it did not deter me to come back and try them again as I know those things are part of opening a new restaurant and they probably got feedbacks from other customers as well, because a lot has changed when we had dinner here last Friday! We were greeted warmly and seated right away. It was still happy hour so I ordered an espresso martini, it was good! I like the contrast of the strong coffee and the creaminess of the drink. And yes, they now serve complementary bread made fresh in-house! I loved it! It's like a baguette but more dense on the inside. Sadly, my husband can do without it lol, but more for me! For this visit, I ordered the Bolognese, I substituted the rigatoni to tagliatelle pasta for an extra $2, and it was tasty! My husband got the Spaghetti Pomodoro with an additional meatballs. I liked it even better than my order, although they served it with a thinner spaghetti, it seems like an angel hair pasta. Nevertheless, we both prefer the pomodoro sauce, it was delicious! We ended the night with a satisfying cappuccino. Overall, we had a great time and will definitely be back!!

I'm giving a 3 because our server was excellent...on our table and we didn't wait for anything. However - if you're from New York and love Italian - you walk in and it smells like bad Italian. Decor like a lower rent Cheesecake Factory. You're wondering if it's Italian. Garlic over cooked/burntPasta ready to break apartSauce unimaginative Bread actually toast. Literally- toast. They NEED to go to Rome or get any cook book to understand what Carbonara is....Or what Bolognese is.....Or Pomodora....UGH

The best Italian we have had in Jax! You may get to watch the cheese wheel at Bella Vista for your Alfredo, but the taste does not compare to what I had here! You may like the atmosphere at Poppys, but this restaurant is far more beautiful! This family owned Italian restaurant is absolutely beautiful and has two patios to sit outside and dine al fresco! Thats is what we did on this beautiful day! Food is excellent and has the most beautiful huge bar inside. I love that it's located right next-door to the movie theater so you can do dinner before or after. Parking is easy with ample space. They have two patios both of which you can dine outside on that are nice. My salad was soo good. We almost ordered another one, and both entrées were delicious. We topped them off with a glass of wine and an Aperol spritz. Weight staff was professional and friendly, and might just happen to be one of the family that owns the restaurant. That's always a nice! We will definitely be back and I highly recommend!

Love eating at this Italian restaurant. Ordered feduccini Alfredo with blackened shrimp and the salad with the blue cheese vinaigrette so delicious! Hard to find a delicious, kid friendly, not too overpriced Italian restaurant nearby and just found my favorite.

My husband and I enjoyed this quaint, romantic Italian restaurant! The food was fresh and delicious. We get Calamari everywhere and this is hands down the best we have ever had!! The chicken parm was flavorful and we left with full bellies! I would highly recommend for a date night!

This was such an amazing dinner. True authentic Italian food. Service was outstanding, with a family-operated restaurant. We arrived on a Sunday when they opened at 4 it was quiet and great seating for large groups or family.

YUMMMMMYYY I'm not the biggest fan of italian cuisine but i must say this place has changed my mind. It's family ran and owned ! Beautifully authentic. The decor is really nice and they have italian covers of songs you will know. My girlfriend and I made plans to come for lunch as soon as the restaurant was opened. Laura (the woman in charge!) did us the honor of coming over to our table and chatting with us! The ingredients are amazing. They source their flour from Italy! It's the real deal! It's used in everything from their pasta to their bread and the crust of the pizza ! Fresh bread is brought to the table with a herby butter. I asked for a side of the blue cheese vinaigrette to dip in as well... tehe. I'm also the biggest fan of the pizza!!! Perfect combination of sweet and savory cheesy. Green onion was such an unexpected addition to top it off. The pasta is the best! Cooked perfectly! No soggy pasta here! I'm so happy to call this our local Italian place. We're already got our hearts set on what to order next time we dine in !

So so so yummy!! Amazing quality, fresh food! Everything here is homemade and you can tell! The bread is a great texture, pasta is perfectly cooked! The vodka sauce is delicious and the homemade sausage in there was too! They used big, succulent shrimp! Loved the pizza so so much! It is such a great combo of flavors and the crust is perfect!! Drinks here are fantastic, the espresso martini was a favorite! The service was great! Our server was attentive and quick! We went at a slow time and one of the owners, Laura came by and chatted with us for a few minutes which was very nice! It is a gorgeous restaurant with a very classy ambiance!! Perfect for a date night! I will definitely be back to try more menu options; there is so much I want to try!
