• Italian • Palisades Northwest
Booked 33 times today
Claudio Pirollo grew up in Belgium where he soon discovered his passion for cooking as he wandered around his father’s fine Italian épicerie (grocery store) and watched his mother prepare dinner every day. The dual influence of Italy and Belgium triggered Chef Pirollo’s aspirations to develop his knowledge and experience with different flavors.A Trattoria is not a pizzeria, it is an Italian-style eating establishment that is generally much less formal than a ristorante but more formal than an osteria. It is similar to what the French call Bistrot.Trattorias are traditionally family owned, casual, rustic neighborhood restaurants found throughout all of Italy that offer fresh, regional, local and family specialties on the menu.

    What we ate was very good, but it is a limited menu with a lot of sausage and peppers on the menu, neither of which I like. I didn't find much on the menu that appealed to me so it was hard to order. I ended up eating a salad and an appetizer. My companion had a basic salad and pasta dish with sausage which was good. Pizza choices were good, but I wasn't in the mood for so much starch for dinner. At first we were shown seats next to a right next to a couple when there were many open seats, then shown seats next to a table of 6 - so I suggested a table at the end which was a table away from the first couple. These days, I prefer to keep my privacy and germs away from others - especially when the restaurant was probably 80% empty. Service was very good; prices relatively high for a very average-looking, boring atmosphere. I really wanted to like it more but doubt I'll be back unless it's for a lunch or menu changes

    We had the best New Year’s Day brunch and were served by a wonderful waitress, Selenia, who paid attention to every detail and made sure we were comfortable. Her cheerful and warm demeanor was icing on the cake for our special first family meal of the year. Thank you so much for your hospitality, Selenia!!

    4 of us, ate and talked a long time and never felt we were being rushed. 4 entrees, 2 appetizers. All flavors very delicious and cooked nearly perfectly. Lamb shank with carrots&raisins rice (sweet to balance savory) was outstanding - uber tender meat falling off the bone like buttuh!
