    We were four at 5pm for a pre-show dinner. We started at the bar for a pre-dinner cocktails that were delicious and a very generous pour! The appetizers and mains were really good, and the service was fantastic! This was our first visit to Victoria's Tratta Italiano, but it will not be our last.

    There were 4 of us. 3 of the 4 were very happy. One ordered the oxtail, taste was good but very fatty and hardly any meat. Disappointing.

    I went there for lunch on a Saturday. The place was mostly empty, the reservations were not required. I had the New England clam chowder and it was one of the best i ever had. I also had a salad with shrimp. The shrimp were cooked perfectly, not overcooked like many places. My dining companion had the chicken tenders with fries. She is not much of a seafood eater. She said the chicken lacked seasoning and the fries tasted like they were cooked in old oil. My companion has fast food restaurant experience from her teenage years. I would go back to try the big seafood boils they offer. A table nearby to ours ordered a boil and it smelled amazing.

    From the beautiful setting to a great server and service, I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to celebrate a special moment. I appreciate that they acknowledged it was for my anniversary with my partner and, throughout the night, tried their best to make it memorable. I will return.
