Tratto

Dined for a friends birthday dinner this past weekend and the 8 of us were so happy with our experience! I had the Palomina which is their take on a Paloma and it was light and refreshing. I also split a bottle of their Corvina red wine which was lovely as well. We ordered the focaccia, roasted carrots, clams with chorizo, charcuterie, and beef tartare, and little gem salad for the table. Everything was divine with the beef tartare being the star of the night for everyone. We adored the carrots and the focaccia and could have passed on the clams. Some ordered the vodka pasta and the noodles were perfectly cooked, but the sauce was not what they expected. The pesto malfadine noodles were also cooked perfectly and the pesto sauce was delicious but very light. I had the dumpling looking pasta which I thought was incredible! So unique and it had a sweet filling on this inside with a yummy butter sauce. The ambiance of the restaurant was everything. Perfect date night or occasion dinner spot! Can't wait to be back here!

Our family of 3 ate here on June 15, 2024. We sauce. They were delicious. Although, the faranata used to be made much better in their previous location of Town n Country, complete with olives. The current venue on Van Buren is definitely more spacious and the vibe is very nice in the rustic brick building. What is distinctly different (alas) is the service and attention. In the old location, the experience was one of attentive fine dining - with silverware changed out after every plate served, complimentary delicious bread and other delights from the kitchen. Now, the experience is of a fancy restaurant but with mediocre service - no plates refreshed, yes we received a delicious complimentary plate of watermelon squares but no bread or other treats; the waiting staff was not of a high caliber - we asked our server some basic  information on the high priced steak we were ordering, but the person did not know; Our server did not know basic information on the pricey steak that we ordered, nor did he alert us on the specials for the day - we discovered it later when we happened to view the blackboard; the wooden trellis next to which we were seated was collecting dust....Overall, I was happy with the food, but not the fine-dining aspect of it.  Please bring back the caring classy attendance that we were treated to at the old Town n Country location.Thank you!

The newest creation from Chris Blanco, a recent James Beard Award recipient. Tratto is in an industrial area near downtown that is being reclaimed. Excellent revolving menu options. Our 4-top shared the big salad and a variety of small plates. We did try the chicken (really it was a Cornish hen) small portion for the price. Great service. Great craft cocktails but over priced for sure. This place is a winner.

New location. New review. Tratto was moved into an old warehouse east of downtown PHX. You might want to double check your car is locked, a super sketchy area. Empty lots are adjacent. A bizarre location for such a high end restaurant. The interior is beautiful. It felt like a movie set. Vaulted ceilings, exposed brick, open kitchen concept. The menu concept is family style Italian and the menu is divided into 3 subcategories. We ordered the focaccia with whipped ricotta to start. Nailed it. 5 stars. We then shared 2 of the 3 pasta dishes available. Amazing. What was underwhelming were the expensive pork and chicken dishes.Our group consisted of 4 people. My question is- how is this family style when each portion is so small? No doubt this is quality over quantity but I think I would have left more satisfied if I ordered individually.

Excited to experience Tratto's Italian menu from James Beard Award-winning chef Chris Bianco. Incredibly flavorful courses, beautiful presentation and excellent pacing. Victor was a great server and menu navigator. Some Yelp reviews have been critical of Tratto's portion sizes and price points. Those were not issues for our dining group. We started with the Market Salad (Arugula, Frisee and Apples), Focaccia and the Seared Chicken Livers (with Plum Jam and Fried Rosemary) from the Antipasti menu. From the Primi section, the superb Rigatoni (with Spicy Pork Ragu) and from the secret menu, the signature Cacio E Pepe (made with pasta water, pepper and cheese). From the Secondi section, the incredible Thin Cut Pork Chops (with Apples and Fried Sage), with a side of the Wood-Roasted Mushrooms. We had a great meal and can't wait to return.

Great place to dine with one or more. Just need to reserve in advance to ensure you'll be seated. The dinner is not meant to be quick but for an enjoyable night out.

I didn't know Bianco had other restaurants aside from Pizzeria Bianco, and I was very excited to see that it had won a James Beard Award. The offerings at Tratto are elevated and refined, and the menu isn't posted because it is always being changed. We ordered the agnolotti, a red pasta, pork tenderloin I believe and chicken liver. The agnolotti was creamy and rich, the chicken liver had all the components that made it perfect with a little bit of sweetness, the pork had a beautiful marinade and char with the perfect amount of acidity. And lastly, the ambiance is perfect for special occasions or a romantic date night.

Food and service was OKUnfortunately, it did not live up to the hype Or the price point they're askingCocktails were subpar, would not go out of my way to get them again.

WOW WOW WOW. What a lovely interesting fabulous restaurant in the heart of Phoenix at 16th & VanBuren. The service was amazing. Shai was sweet & knowledgeable about the amazing food choices. Fantastic service all night. She offered recommendations & they tasted amazing. If you want some amazing food in a cool eclectic restaurant go to Tratto. The menu changes. We have carrots with mozzarella and balsamic, it had a great flavor. Then we had pasta & ended with pork chops. Wow the flavors & portions were perfect. Go enjoy a night out!!!

Never a bad time at Tratto. Food portions are great for the price, incredible flavor. We love Tratto. Anniversary spot.
