We found La Trattoria on Yelp, and decided to drive over for a Saturday lunch outing. It was a rainy summer day, but the restaurant was open to the air, and an awning covered a few tables that were outside on the sidewalk.
La Trattoria has a fairly standard bound Italian restaurant menu (antipasti, pastas, pizzas), then they have a chalkboard of what must be seasonal specials (or just recommendations) for lunch, and then there's a second chalkboard of daily specials. The waiter (who seemed like he must also be the manager) was friendly and got us a seat right away, tried a few jokes with our daughter, and was patient explaining the options.
My wife had the cheese-filled ravioli with truffle cream sauce, which was excellent. There were seven or eight good-sized ravioli filled with some kind of firm-ish cheese, and covered in a very decadent truffle cream sauce. I ordered the daily special of chanterelles in a cream sauce over homemade papardelle; it was incredibly good. Lots of mushrooms, good portion size, and tons of flavor in every bite. Being six, our daughter ordered spaghetti with tomato sauce, and managed to eat about half of the giant "kids" portion (which she finished with gusto at home the next day).
We also ordered tiramisu and tartufo for dessert. The tartufo was just okay, but the tiramisu was quite good. Overall, we loved our experience here, and will definitely be back. read more
