Re-Opening June 2, 2021

A spirited, bar-driven restaurant serving rustic Italian fare with modern sensibilities. Tratto means the stroke of a pen or a mark in Italian, nodding to both the neighborhood’s artistic history and the name of The Marker, the boutique hotel next door.

Tratto’s flavorful menu of simple, delicious and shareable dishes coupled with casual, communal-style dining creates a neighborhood bar experience inspired by the Italian tradition of “aperitivo,” or happy hour.

Guests can enjoy playful twists on classic Italian cocktails, boozy Italian sodas, and beer and wine from California and Italy, including a jug of house wine from the taps.

Choose from a wide selection of traditional small-plate antipasti, house-made pastas and pizzas, entrees served family-style, seasonal side dishes, and classic Italian desserts including ice creams, gelatos and sorbets.

    The pasta that I ate was fantastic. The drinks were all good. My dates steak was not the best cut of meat, I’d stick with the pasta on future visits. I My date was very late and the restaurant was still very accommodating to us, which I appreciated greatly.

    We went to a show at the Curran and came for dinner at Tratto afterwards. Our server and other staff were very warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere and food were excellent. We had the flatbread appetizer (probably enough for 3 or 4 people) and shared the spinach tagliolini, both of which were homemade and delicious.

    We made reservations on a Friday, at 6 p.m. at Tratto as part of a pre-theatre dinner with friends. From the start, it was not good. Although the restaurant was what looked to be a normal dinner crowd, our server was clearly stressed and disorganized. It took almost 15 minutes for her to get to us, and then she wanted us to order immediately. When we asked for drinks, she told us it would be a while.. It took almost 30 minutes to get drinks. We were going to order wine, but we figured it would never arrive in time! We ordered an appetizer as well as a few entrées. Almost 40 minutes later, our server brought everything out at the same time. The appetizer had clearly been sitting somewhere for a while because it wasn't even warm. Highly disappointing. Also, the cocktails are so small. I ordered a double Grey Goose martini, and there is no way it was a double because the glass couldn't have been more than 3 ounces...and that was $30!! The manager ended up comping part of our meal since it was such a disaster, but even with that, it was not reasonable. Stay Clear. We collectively agreed when we left that we need to find a better place for pre-theatre dinners!
