I’ve been coming here consistently since they opened the location, it’s always a hit! Service , food , ambiance is always a 10/10! I have been sat in Lexi’s section twice now & she’s so amazing that I got excited knowing we were assigned to her section again. She’s so attentive , patient & makes great recommendations when I want to try something new. Thank you for always an amazing experience !

Our first time at Tratto. The atmosphere was casual, relaxing and inviting. Food was simply awesome. I mean AWESOME!!! We tried the fried calamari. Outstanding. Fresh and tasty. Followed by both the Risotto al Tratto and the Short Ribs Risotto. Simply delicious! Zack, our server, provided us with a great attention while giving us our space to enjoy dinner. Wine was delicious, both the house tempranillo and the Moscato Rose. A hidden gem in Avalon. Worth a second visit with friends!
