Tratto

We used to frequently visit their old location at Town & Country. This was our first visit to the new location. The food remains top notch and it was every bit as good as we remembered. We love the little gem salad, fresh pasta, and quality ingredients. We love everything about Tratto with one exception. The location is really weird for fine dining. It’s surrounded by used car lots, vacant buildings, and nothing nice. I don’t understand the rationale for the new location. We love the food but the location will prevent us from being regulars like the old days.

Amazing meal start to finish. Top quality ingredients treated with care. All the dishes had subtle, balanced flavors, nothing overwhelming. We had the focaccia with whipped ricotta, gem lettuce salad, crispy gnocchi, asparagus, and pork chops. Started with an amuse of pickled strawberry with balsamic drizzle. Superb experience and we can't wait to go back.

The pasta was very good! Salad was fresh, reasonable price, great service. They were good at filling our water glasses, and good at change our plates to new clean plates after we finish the last course! It made me feel like they were always there to do thing to make us feel good eating there, gave us time to talk to friends, no interruption, no over talking/asking, just thoughtful action with great service. 👍 Chicken liver is a must-order, nicely seasoned and cooked. 👎The $62 Halibut was hmmm… very expensive for 2 pieces of fish that didn’t taste anything special or different than the fish you cook at home. It was a little over cooked, kinda plain flavor. Sorry to say but I don’t think it worths $62.

We went to Tratto after hearing about Chris Bianco's pasta concept for Pizzeria Bianco and we absolutely loved this place! Getting a reservation here was a bit difficult given its popularity, and we had to book 3 weeks out for a Thursday night 8 PM dinner reservation. The ambience inside is perfect for those wanting a vibrant yet intimate date night. For appetizers, we ordered the Farinata (an absolute must!) with fresh bread and olive oil. We spoke with the wine sommelier who recommended us a fantastic Italian red to pair with our selections. For entrees, we ordered their signature homemade pastas and got the Linguine with spicy pork sausage and off the menu pasta pomodoro which were both fantastic and fresh. One thing to remember is that they always change the menu and be sure to ask for off the menu pasta selections too in case you want more options. We also got the Grilled Piccolo chicken which was perfect to match with our pastas. Overall, this is our favorite Italian experience in downtown PHX and we will definitely be coming back again!
