• Italian • Palisades Northwest

Booked 37 times today

Claudio Pirollo grew up in Belgium where he soon discovered his passion for cooking as he wandered around his father’s fine Italian épicerie (grocery store) and watched his mother prepare dinner every day. The dual influence of Italy and Belgium triggered Chef Pirollo’s aspirations to develop his knowledge and experience with different flavors.A Trattoria is not a pizzeria, it is an Italian-style eating establishment that is generally much less formal than a ristorante but more formal than an osteria. It is similar to what the French call Bistrot.Trattorias are traditionally family owned, casual, rustic neighborhood restaurants found throughout all of Italy that offer fresh, regional, local and family specialties on the menu.

As always, the experience was exceptional. The cocktails are always top-tier. The food was fantastic as well. The ribs at this place can't be touched. They're always so tender, juicy, and falling off the bone. I only have one request: BRING BACK THE ANGRY CHICKEN LETTUCE WRAP. BOTH WITH CHICKEN AND WITH TOFU!!!!!

I booked the restaurant for a company team holiday get together. The hostess was very accommodating allowing me to get seated while waiting for the team to arrive. Out waitress Michelle was very sweet and attentive. Food was good and all had a great time. A couple took some of the famous donuts home as well!
