This is pretty much the 4th review I've ever written.I can't express enough how appreciative I am to have a nice restaurant in the area that serves food cooked in olive oil, beef tallow, or avocado oil. They cook with pasture raised eggs and pasture raised pork. After meeting the chef to tell him how much I appreciate that he uses optimal ingredients, he spent 10 minutes discussing with me that if he wasn't able to use the best ingredients he wouldn't be involved with the restaurant.That's just the ingredients. The food their was absolutely delicious.I had to get the pork chop, given that it was pasture raised. It was by far the best one I've ever had. The potatoes that come on it we're delicious and cooked perfectly, the peppers were a little spicy but, I loved it because I don't prefer bland food. The sauce that it came with was amazing.The calamari was clearly not cooked with seed oils and you can taste the difference. Their calamari was a contender with the best I've ever had.My wife had the pasta with the pasture raised eggs mixed in the sauce. It was creamy and delightful.Our server was very considerate and attentive. He must've memorized the specials, it sounded like he was reading a script the way he was describing them. It was just an amazing experience. I can't wait to go back.I told the server "the food was so good, if I was home I'd be licking the plate (not that there was anything but sauce remnant left). He told me "feel free to go ahead if you want." I responded "I wouldn't feel comfortable doing that in a restaurant I respect as much as this one."I hope this restaurant grows and goes on to open many locations with the same standards and care. I hope you go there and get to experience the same desire to lick the plate as I do.

Popped in on a Friday night without reservations, I will say we got lucky. Definitely encourage you to call for reservations. Seated at an intimate table for 2 and happy to have Bernie as our server. After hearing the Chef specials, decisions were made and there was no going back. We started with the "special" crab cakes served on a bed of arugula . Lightly breaded and loaded with crab, delicious! Next, beet salad with caramelized onions... yum! Large enough for hubby and I to split and feel satisfied. Main course was the "special" house made Pappardelle pasta with meatballs and burrata cheese, that was drizzled with pesto sauce. Yum! Hubby thoroughly enjoyed the Short-Rib Lasagna. All the delicious lasagna flavors with delectable shredded beef short rib. Finished our meal with Tiramisu and Chocolate Mouse cake. Both decadent, luscious and not overly sweet. Ambiance is very simple with clean lines and ambient lighting, loved the old school Italian music playing in the background. Excellent and personalized service.

Ok so first of all amazing food and great service. Ambiance was cozy enough for Dunedin and this Trattoria has only been open for a handful of weeks which is quite impressive. Before I get to the food review, shame on the reviews that do not give grace to a brand new local mom and pop place in their opening weeks. The mere fact that this type of quality authentic Italian establishment can put out this variety of amazing food that you won't find elsewhere is quite an accomplishment ..... kudos to the chef and management team. Now for the utter BS comment about racism. My wife is white, I am half Asian, my mixed daughter brought her black bf and our family has never felt more welcome. It doesn't get more diverse than us. Please don't pay any mind to anyone who has only left a few (and in this case 1) BS reviews that have nothing to do with food. Now about the food. We're from Maryland and obviously skeptical about crab cakes outside of Maryland. Bottom line. Order the crab cakes. Seafood pasta Nero (squid ink) was on point, possibly the best veal chop I've ever had (literally licked the bone clean), solid meatballs and red sauce and amazing Bisteca (NY strip with Gorgonzola sauce). Portions were generous and a few things we dug into so fast we forgot to take pics. Obviously the bread was baked fresh and super crispy, everything was scratch made and they are non gmo and non seed oil friendly which alone is a testament to quality standards. Ok so my wife is full blooded Italian and my mom is Italian and we eat out Italian at least 3 times a week. Hands down this is the best Italian food in the area. I'm glad they don't have pizza it would be a distraction from the fine dining achievement of this gem of a Trattoria which my family likens to eating at Nona's (grandmas) house but with white tablecloths. Go now and thank me later!

We had an excellent dinner here last night. Two of us had the short rib lasagna -that's a must order for sure! and another one of the diners had the homemade ravioli. We also had the fried calamari and grilled artichoke appetizer. Both were outstanding even the bread and seasoned olives they brought out as the first course were just divine. The bread and pasta are made in house. So yummy. And we finished with tiramisu also another recommend. James and Bernie were the best. The service was really wonderful. We will definitely go back ! only negative is the outside needs a little love. The little fountain needs to go. The inside is comfortable. You can just taste the care and love that was put into the food!

Our meal at trattorie D Anna was just amazing. We started with the fresh hot baked olive bread, meatball appetizer and grill artichokes. Both were over the top with flavors that seemed to be old world family recipes! There were four of us, we had the Chicken Marcella with roasted veggie, the gnocchi, and angle hair with Bolognese sauce. All the dishes had spectacular flavors and we will be back. The sauce that came on the Gnocchi was some of the best I've ever had. My hubby said his Marcella sauce on the tender chicken needed to be added to a top 10 Restraunt list we keep. The service was impeccable. Price is on point for the service and flavors we had.

I have to say I have found a little gem in Dunedin. Trattoria d Anna was a total delight! I'm from western ny and have not been able to find clams Casino since arriving in Florida in 2014. They have it and nailed it! Our server was Eileen and she was so informative and friendly. But the topper of the being was the 14 oz veal Marsala . Breathtaking!

My wife and I took her son to dinner tonight as a sendoff celebration before he moves back to Kentucky. We had heard good things about this new restaurant but were quite pleased that it exceeded our high expectations! Our server, Jason, expertly guided us through the wine list and menu. Our selections were amazingly excellent - beef short rib lasagna, veal parmesan, and a New York strip steak with crab cakes. Forget what your memory tells you about these dishes as they were all at a higher level than anything you've likely had before! We look forward to sampling more of their great menu in the future. The only caveat is that food this good doesn't come cheap, so it might take a while before return... But we definitely will!

Finally made it to Trattoria D'Anna and it did not disappoint! The fresh baked bread was a great start...and then the chicken martini was outstanding! My other family members had a special ravioli filled with bolognese which he loved...and my dad had chicken parm which was yummy! I had a side of rigatoni with bolognese sauce and it was excellent! And to end the meal, the Limoncello dessert was perfect! I can't wait to bring my local friends!!

The food was good as was the waiter however did have a few issues with the reservation. I had called the day before to let them know there would be less people and they didn't have my reservation ( which I did receive a email confirmation). Got that fixed, or so I thought, when we arrived things were still mixed up and we had to wait for them to clear a table. Might wait a bit before returning. Seems like they might need additional help.
