Plan to pay for the quality – most entrees are around $40 as of Spring 2025.
We had the beef carpaccio, the rabbit, the lamb ragu, and the orange cake. All were wonderful, but honestly, the ragu was just a little too powerful and winey for my taste. I think I would go for one of their citrus-forward dishes next time. The Chardonnay was excellent but again, pricey.
Excellent anniversary or special occasion spot. Would love to see a slightly more price-accessible and simplified lunch menu someday (similar to brunch).
It’s the cutest spot right in Brownes. We sat on their delightful patio and ended up being the only people out there after the other tables left since we had a later reservation.
We got the seared octopus, braised rabbit with goat cheese ravioli and carrot butter sauce, and rack of lamb with goat cheese stuffed tomatoes and garlic cream sauce.
Everything was superb. And though I’m used to fine dining places giving you less and charging more, the portions were actually quite substantial.
Our server was kind and attentive (without being TOO attentive).
Absolutely fantastic meal.
That focaccia? Fluffy perfection. The octopus salad? Bright, refreshing, and full of flavor. The rosé? Summer in a glass. Fabulous service. I love that open-air GarageDoor atmosphere.
What I Ordered at Italia Trattoria:
• Focaccia Bread with olive oil & balsamic
• Charred Octopus Salad – citrus, fennel, herbs (would 100% order again)
• Panzanella Salad – heirloom tomatoes, focaccia croutons, shaved parmesan
• Gnocchi alla Sorrentina – tender potato gnocchi in rich tomato sauce
• Spaghetti & Meatballs – classic comfort done right
• Grilled Lamb Tongue – with tzatziki, heirloom tomato, and olives
• Tiramisu – whipped, airy, chocolate-dusted perfection.
• La Jolie Fleur Rosé (2022) – light, elegant, and summery
• Lucien Albrecht Crémant Rosé – crisp, floral, and beautifully chilled
Their menu is a gem for adventurous food lovers — think boar, lamb tongue, and octopus done right. Unexpected cuts, unforgettable flavor.
I am willing to stand corrected on the count of pasta dishes. I understand the menu rotates, and perhaps I missed the specific “Primi” section or visited during a transition. If I was wrong about the menu variety, I own that.
However, the reason I felt there were “no options” was because we explicitly told our server we were craving Italian pasta, and she steered us away from those dishes to push the meat entrees instead. I trusted her recommendation and ordered the Quail. Unfortunately, the bird was incredibly dry.
My disappointment remains because the owner’s response focused entirely on fact-checking my menu count while completely ignoring the main issue: I paid $40 for a dry, poorly executed meal. Proving me wrong about the pasta list doesn’t change the fact that the dinner itself was disappointing and the service led us in the wrong direction.
