What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
La Trattoria is celebrated for its authentic Italian cuisine, particularly its wood-fired pizzas and some standout pasta dishes like lobster ravioli and risotto. Diners appreciate the warm, inviting atmosphere and the friendly, attentive staff, with the added bonus of being dog-friendly. However, some patrons have experienced issues with slow service, table arrangements for larger groups, and under-seasoned dishes.
"Fantastic authentic Italian food. We popped in for lunch as a family and were seated promptly also had our dog with us that they welcomed in and also gave her a bowl of water. Would highly recommend and would 100% visit again if we are in the area."
Butch Campbell
"Nice buzz and atmosphere. Staff were attentive and friendly. Food was good but didn’t leave me wanting more. Personally felt it was a bit under-seasoned. I would be back but not in a rush. Dog friendly."
Nik Sar
"We went as a group of 4. I wont be recommending. We were sat on a 2 person table & it was a very unpleasant experience trying to squash round it. We could not get food and drinks on the table together. Staff said everybody commented on this, but no action has been taken. Either put 2 tables together or only put 2 people on the table. Service was very slow. I was ovrrcharged but didn't realise until we left. I was going to email, but there is no email address.
The staff were nice. Food was OK. They had a kids menu. It's was clean."
