My wife had white sauce pizza, our son had the trio, and I had grilled grouper. All were very pleased. Waitress was great too.
Food was okay, service was good but have had better food. Compared to Olive Garden I would take Olive Garden since your meal comes with salad and bread sticks and dont have to pay. Also very noisy because of a large wedding party. Compared to Provinos I would take Provinos over both of them.
Calzones are great! We got the meat lovers and the bacon calzone. My only complaint it the bruschetta, it was over powered my the balsamic vinaigrette that you could not taste the tomato and herbs. The waitress was very nice and professional.
Came on business. Love the vibe, my server was so good I came back twice! Good cocktails, good beer list, super decent food, what else could you ask for?
Wonderful customer service, even on a crazy busy night. The chicken florentine is amazing, my husband loved the lasagna, and the bread is incredible. I can’t recommend coming here enough and I will be back.
Great service and foodOur waitress was amazing!
I ordered the Shrimp Scampi and Calamari and it was disgusting. The shrimp scampi was bland and the shrimp looked boiled, it tasted like white wine instead of scampi sauce.. literal pool of wine at the bottom of my bowl. The Calamari was under cooked, bland, and rubbery.
Great food, nice atmosphere and amazing staff. Wonderful first experience. We will be back!
Great Italian dinner for a date night with my husband. We both enjoyed the appetizer sampler and I ALWAYS enjoy their vegetable lasagna or fettuccine alfredo.
Love chicken parmesan with Rosetta sauce. Nice selection of desserts. My Italian friend from New York also liked it.
I found the atmosphere here delightful. It also has a wood fired pizza oven, nice touch. I ordered the salmon on Olive salad. I really liked this plate it tasted great and was filling. The salmon was suberb! Well worth driving to.
Food was good service was good just wish the portions were a little bit bigger for the money but to be fair I eat more than most so the average person will probably be all right with the portion size
The staff, management, and owners are rude and unprofessional. Tried to pick up a DoorDash order and they wasted my time for over 20 minutes and then refused to provide the order. Then laughed and said they were still going to get paid. They raised there voice to me and tried to talk to me as if they were my boss. News flash, drivers don’t work for you. If your having trouble with your merchant DoorDash APP it has nothing to do with the drivers. Call DoorDash merchant services and get it fixed. Stop taking out your issues on the drivers. You have two options: either provide the food in a timely manner for delivery or not.
Great selection of beers, local brews and others, both bottle and draft. The star of the show is the food though. Awesome authentic Italian choices at moderate prices. Desserts are outstanding and so is the service. Enjoy.
Always delicious great service i love it every time
What a great little gem. Authentic foods, proper portions and a fantastic menu.
Best Italian food in Georgia. Took us 12 years to find decent Italian food in Georgia. Really great food, great service.
I had the spaghetti and it was wonderful. Prices are good food is great and the waitstaff is very friendly.
Would not recommend this place to anyone. The only reason they get a 1 star is because of the service. Me and 2 others thought the food was awful. We will never eat at this place again.
Very busy but well worth the wait. Great staff and excellent food. Our first visit and we were very pleased with our choice. We sat at the bar and Kendall was our server. He was awesome. We will definitely be back!
I had the chicken caprese, and peanut butter pie. It was fantastic! Service was good
Its been a while since Ive been here but the food and service is awesome
Awesome family friendly Italian restaurantWill be backHave vegan options and vegetarian options
This place is absolutely amazing. We go here about once a week or so. The food is ALWAYS delicious. From the appetizers, to the desert EVERYTHING we have tried has been home cooked and delicious. The service is always AMAZING. The people are absolutely wonderful and friendly. The atmosphereis relaxing and laid back. Its like a little slice of home away from home. This will be our go to spot for a long time to come. Thanks so much yall
Nice atmosphere, full bar many craft beers, great portions wont break the wallet.
Was pretty good. Went during lunchtime and they had a really big Togo order so it took a bit longer than usual but food and service was good as always.
I forgot where i was at so i should have known the food was gone taste bland. Went here for lumch and it was horrible . The server was no help when asked about menu items. The drink we ordered from the bar tasted like straight sprite . My cousins scampi was watery and bland. We didnt finish our food because it was not good. They wouldnt take it back. Claimed we ate some I literally ate one ravioli........ claim to give us 50% off but 50 off 20 is 10 not $14... the server comes to the table and says i should have told you the food wasnt that good i dont eat it . Like you shoulda told us when we was asking you before we ordered. Manager was rude 0/10 dont recommend . Coulda been treated better! But thats Carrollton for you.
I ordered the trio and it was nasty taste like they opened crushed tomatoes and poured it on the top of it
Great place to eat. Friendly staff. Good chicken parm
Fantastic food and service. The peanut butter pie was super delish, same with the olive salad. Sausage on Angel hair pasta with the pink sauce - cant be beat. Ill be back.
Our food was phenomenal. I always order Eggplant Parmesan at every Italian restaurant that I go to, and this was the BEST I have ever had. I asked them to switch the spaghetti noodles to angel hair (i always do that). It was SO GOOD.My mother in law had the chicken piccata and she loved it. Also they have some kind of homeade Parmesan salad dressing that is the bomb. Our server was Donald and he did a great job taking care of us. Will definitely go back to eat there as soon as possible.
I absolutely love coming here. We are always so happy to see Miguel. Everytime we eat here, he remembers our drink and food order. He is so kind, courteous, and serves us with a smile. He gets the job done very productively.
Fantastic food and great customer service my son and I loved the food 👌
Absolutely love the food at La Trattoria!! Tonight I ordered the Caprese Pizza with cauliflower crust. Perfect combination and size of ingredients! It was soooo delicious. I love the gluten-free options. I would add a picture, but I couldn’t wait to enjoy this delicious pizza. I will order this again and again and again!!!
Very good food. Friendly staff. Got our food very quickly considering the entire restaurant was packed with people! My husband didnt like the serving size but it was a normal serving size for the average person
You cant go wrong here. We had a great server. The bartender fixed a perfect dirty martini. Chicken marsala was as good as any fine Italian restaurant. Their stuffed meatballs are worth a special trip. Flavorful and filling. Save room for the dessert trio.
I had the La Trattoria Trio (Fettuccine Alfredo, Lasagna, and Chicken Parmesan on Angel Hair pasta) and it was delicious!The other two people who were with me couldnt stop saying wonderful things about their meals. (Between bites, of course!)A bit on the upscale side, and though it may seem a little bit pricey, its well worth it!If you want to treat yourself to some Italian fair, and wish to do better than Olive Garden, this should be where you go.Now, that being said, I do have to mention that I believe some of the appetizers were pre-made. Like the mozzarella cheese sticks and the fried mushrooms. But the spinach dip with pita bread dipping sticks was hot and very tasty.All in all, we ate well and had a great time. Not disappointed a bit. And were looking forward to going back, soon!
Food was some of the best Italian food I have had in a long time! Highly recommend.
Beautiful wood fired oven that turned out some dang good pizza also has a nice beer selection
The food is good, the server was awesome. The wait time on the food longer than 40 minutes after a 10 to 15 to order and get our drinks. Parking and getting in the restaurant is not easy.
Great atmosphere and amazing food! Customer service is impeccable! Had a small inconvenience tonight and we were more than happy with how it was handled. Thank you so much! Will definitely continue to support this exceptional restaurant ❤️
Havent been here in quite some time, but will returnfor future purchases
We came here with family, after attending my boyfriends grandfathers graveside service. The service was great, and the food was impeccable. It was great to get to talk with one another.
Dinner tonight was simply amazing. The service was prompt and attentive and the food was very good. We asked the server to recommend an appetizer and her chose was spot on. Cant recommend this restaurant more.
Ate at the bar. Bartender very attentive. Somewhat limited sitting. Meet a Yankee couple. Good times
Excellent restaurant! The bruschettas cooked in the wood fired oven have a very Rome authentic taste. The service is attentive and prices are reasonable. Great place.
Amazing food was delicious! & still Hot when we got home! We always get To Go due to covid. But we are never disappointed the desserts also AWESOME got the pistachio canolli for the first time 👌👍
Love the food (eggplant parmesan rocks!), wine, and beer selection. Barkeep Kendall is super attentive and knowledgable.
What a simply amazing place to go in Carrollton. My wife has Celiacs disease and we were excited to find a place that catered to it here! Went there tonight and were BLOWN AWAY. The calzone and Stromboli’s were amazing. My wife had chicken Alfredo with GF pasta and it was incredible! If you’re in town and craving Italian, please do yourself a favor and go here. Also — the beer and wine selection is great too. 😉
Great find! Wife being GF, we used to drive to Tonys in Chattanooga for Italian... wont be making that drive anymore. The food was amazing, attentive service. Dont get half orders. My meatball specialty pasta leftovers made for a breakfast treat this morning.
Very good gluten free pizza and cheesy bread. Ive tried the Chicken Marsala but wasnt a fan. Gluten free rolls are OK and for a $1.50 a peice, they are big.
Listen there lasagna. There spinach manicotti. Chicken parmesan. There garlic butter bread. Omg so hot 🔥 so fresh salads are just made fresh..very good portions for tha $$$ .the place is old world brick cool vibe .with awesome service
Second time visiting. The first time, it was absolutely amazing. We had gnocchi, veal marsala, olive salad, pizza...all were awesome. Tonight I had the seafood scampi...eh. Wife had the chicken alfredo...flavorless (hint of basil maybe?). Kid had a 5 cheese pizza, burnt and super salty. Kid 2 had a calzone, he liked it. Kid 3 had ziti, was great. Not sure if it was hit or miss on the dishes, or just an off night.
Love their salad options! Great food in general!!
I am gluten free and tonight I had the BEST treat for dinner. Fried shrimp and homemade onion rings. GLUTEN FREE!!!!AMAZING😆😍
Great food prepared as ordered. great experience for dining out.
I was completely unimpressed. I had high hopes for this place. The food came out so fast that there is no way its even remotely fresh. It looked and tasted pre-made. I honestly feel that Olive Garden is a better bet. Atmosphere was great, and service was great, but the food just wasnt.
Food was delicious! The lady whos son works there also was very nice and even did a special request for us. Our waiter was great and a waitress that was working would over hear us and would answer any questions for us. She was great! Great place,food, and staff!!!
Great selection of GF options. Staff was delightful and food was tasty.
We took an hour drive to celebrate a birthday. The birthday entree was free with I. D. proof.Tried the trio appetizer calamari zucchini & fried mushroom. All sauces served with the appetizer were excellent. Calamari was tuff.Cocktail was a wine flight. All the wines were excellent. The variety allowed us to choose what paired well with the meal we chose.We dined with the Penne de Mar & the lemon basil Penne. Both were excellent with ample servings. Was disappointed that the parmesan was not fresh grated just powdered in a shaker.We also shared a dessert trio with the wholly trinity Italian selection. Well done perfect presentation.No doubt that to go boxes were provided so we will enjoy a second meal on the home front.Our waitress was attentive but not intrusive. She even took a picture for us so we could document the event.
We had Saturday night dinner and it was Fabulous! We were served blue margaritas, Mediterranean salads, awesome bread & butter, Lasagna and Ravioli. We went away happy with the service. Will be returning soon.
This place is awesome! Food well presented and hot. Staff professional and very friendly young people. And the bread! Phenominal! Loved it
Went here with friends to celebrate their graduation. It was great. The waiter was knowledgeable and helpful. They have options for those with restricted diets and the kitchen will try different things to accommodate. I ordered a signature dish. It is my new favorite, and the portion was more than I could eat in one sitting.
The service was friendly and quick. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. The serving sizes are huge! Ill definitely have enough food for the next couple meals. Oh and dessert... There were so many tempting options, but I settled on the peach cobbler and Im so happy I did. It was excellent! Ill definitely go back.
Ive had many different options and the food is always delicious! The service at La Trattoria is timely and personable & the atmosphere is good for studying, meeting with friends or enjoying some time solo. The owners are great people who support the local community. Highly recommend!
The atmosphere was very nice and the food was delicious. They have a wide selection of entrees and appetizers on their menu from spaghetti and meatballs to seafood stuffed manicotti. Its prices are somewhat high though, so you have to keep that in mind. Also, the service is not quite as fast or efficient as larger chain restaurants so you may have to be a little more patient for your food. But overall, its a lovely little Italian eatery and I highly recommend it!
Food was good! Horrible service! Hostess was disrespectful as soon as we walked in. Kept addressing the people behind us and was trying to give them a table first. Waitress was so busy and took forever with taking our order and giving us the check. It was very hard to talk in the restaurant it’s was so loud.
Mixed review. The food was very good.The service was not. I wasnt even upset about being asked how the food was literally as soon as it was brought out and we still hadnt gotten silverware. But I asked for silverware at that point, and the manager (Haley) decided it would be a good time to become passive aggressive at that point. She made sure to let me know that they were one person short, which first of all you dont tell a customer, and second, the place was not crowded at all.Long story short, the food is good enough that I could see coming back on a regular basis, but because of the service I likely wont.
A friendly Mom and Pop Italian restaurant that was a great first impression. A good sized menu with full and 1/2 portion meals. Delicious bread served before the meal with their homemade butter! Im looking forward to going back.
This place is absolutely delicious. The service was great and their is lots of options for everyone on the menu. We will definitely be returning to have dinner here again. Its hard to find a place that everyone in the family likes but this place definitely had something for everyone.
Came in from out of town to go camping, and had a hankering for some pizza. Drove 40 min! Was not disappointed! Desserts were a bonus, and made in house too!
This Italian restaurant has items on the menu that are not available at the olive garden & if you are in the mood to eat more than spaghetti & bread sticks this is your restaurant.If you just want cheap priced, cheap quality spaghetti dont come here.The service is always Excellent.All the entrees are available in 2 sizes so you can pick your portion based on how much you want to eat. Unlike some restaurants you can pick the type salad you want, different types are available if you dont like certain types of lettuce.My husband loves the brick oven pizza with the fresh cooked taste.The only negative thing I can say about the place is there is often a burned area on the pizza, I wish there was a way they could turn it as it cooked to avoid this spot.Overall, this is the best Italian food I have ever had & will keep coming back for more as long as they are open !
Me and my old lady went here 10/9/19 around 7 on because the BBQ place next door was closed. So we gave it a try,it makes you think youre in Italy. She had the half order of shrimp scampi on angel hair pasta,I ordered a meat supreme pizza,it was awesome. They make the tea any way you want,I ate half of my pizza and got full right away,she ate every bite of her meal,we recommend this place to anyone
Excellent Italian food from a local businesses, I dare say that its even better than Olive Garden.
Very tasty Italian food!! All pasta dishes and desserts Ive tried here have been delicious. All the bar and wait staff are super friendly, and they make you feel at home, like youre friends, even if youre from out of town like myself. Cocktails Ive had from here have been super good as well, at a fair price.
The food and atmosphere was great. There were 6 of us and we had a variety of entrees and everyone enjoyed their dinner.
The moderately-priced gluten-free selections are amazing. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful. The preparation time is a bit lengthy, so go with people you enjoy ❤️. I always enjoy my visit.
Its one of the places on The Square that we frequent. As the Lady is doing Gluten Free, we go there more often. The menu is clearly marked for all those wanting or needing to eat this style of cooking. 4 star rating remains b/c of the.spotty and highly variable service. While we tonight did not have an issue with any of our food, table of 4, several tables around had complaints and or sent food back.
Everything we’ve tried is super yummy!Prices can get a little high depending on what you order, but 100x better tasting than Olive Garden.Certain level of authenticity whether you’re inside the restaurant or grabbing to go!
Just moved here from Montana a month ago, first time at this place. Decent food except for the Alfredo seeming out of a jar, but that’s the least of our concerns. We know restaurants sometimes run out of ingredients. Our server Jeremy (I think his name was that) was a plain out “dick” when we were trying to ask what some meals where made with because my wife is allergic to gluten and completely ignored my two daughters when they were trying speak to him (they are 3 and 5, wasn’t busy.) Hoping this is a one time thing.
First time I came here my order was wrong (as in totally different item wrong) twice but the food and service were quite good.This time, service was fine but food wasn’t very good. Got the trio. Chicken parmigiana, lasagna, and Alfredo. All the sauce lacked in flavor and there was way too much of it. Tasted like it came out of a prego jar. Meat in the lasagna was tough.
An awesome meal. Every bite delicious. Great service
Don’t walk, run to this place for an amazing meal and exceptional customer service!! Hands down, one of the best meals I’ve had in quite some time! Planning my next trip, I’m 2 hours away, for this place!
Good food. Quaint atmosphere. Good service.
UPDATE: Just had the restaurant call to apologize for the service and offer to take care of us next time. Not many restaurants would personally call like that. Will definitely be back.The food is great but it seems like the staff is not ever adequate to serve all of the tables. This visit we sat at our table for 15 minutes before our drink order was taken and that was after we had to flag someone down to ask where our server was. This is it the first or second time it has happened. Want to keep coming back but not if the service doesn’t get better. Just watched a table leave from not being served.
Always good food here. You can tell that the owner(s) truly care about what theyre cooking. Surprisingly, my favorite dish there is the chicken fingers.. I know, I know.. why buy chicken fingers at an Italian restaurant?.. well, dont judge me until you try em. Theyre fresh, hand-breaded, perfectly seasoned and oh so tender. Oh my gosh my mouth is watering just thinking about em!
A-mazing. We got there during a lul but were quickly attended to. We sat at the bar and got excellent service from who I assume was the bar manager considering how well he did. The menu is probably my favorite part, bot only because of the large selection, but because of the gluten free options which can be difficult to find. I cannot stress enough how much you should visit this place.
Generally our visits are met with superior wait staff and the food is always hot. Same with the bread.This trip included an extremely polite and attentive waitress despite there being a massive group of near 15-20 group. Definitely reccomend this location on the occasion you need your starch!PARENTAL NOTE- There is a changing table in the all-gender bathroom for those still in diapers.
Fantastic menu and the food was great.
Excellent food! Wouldve been 5 starts but the server wasnt friendly.. GO FOR THE FOOD!
The fried zucchini was some of the best I have ever had!
The atmosphere was great. We had a reservation for 20 and were seated as Soo as we arrived. The food all came out about the same time which is always impressiveThe Menu had a lot ofvariety incl GF items and good portions. I had the 1/2 portion of spinach manicotti which was very good. Our 2 servers were in the ball.
Absolutely fantastic! I had the Penne Del Mar and would definitely reccomend it. Kendall was our server and he took great care of us.
Little Italian place in Downtown Carrollton just before the square. Staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. Food was excellent, service was very quick, somewhat pricey. Great atmosphere with a cozy environment. Definitely will be back!
This, my friends, is what an Italian restaurant should be like; quaint, hospitable, and with delicious food! Their marina sauce actually tastes like real tomato sauce, coming from an Italian like me, I’ve been so disappointed nearly in every restaurant that says they serve “good marina”. Let’s not forget they have a brick oven where they cook a lot of their dishes like pizza (freaking amazing too!) and fresh loaves of bread for almost every order. Gosh I love this place. They got the pizza right, the bread and the pasta. Listen, you want a classic plate that speaks “Mama Mia?”, then be simple and don’t make it complicated; order angel hair pasta with plain marinara sauce, and and a whole Italian sausage on the side, now that is what I’m talking about. That’s Italian soul food.
My gluten free supreme pizza was delicious!! The crust had just the right amount of crisp and wasnt soggy! Service was really good and the large Mediterranean salad was ample.
Our server was the best! The hostess however, after telling us the wait would be an hour and a half, then seating us at very small 2 top near the kitchen, while we were having our after dinner drinks, with cups of coffee, and half of our dessert in front of us..asked if we were ready for our check. Appallingly rude!!
The calzone was amazing. We had gluten free fried zucchini. Great. Service was good to
A fine restaurant with a homely but classy atmosphere, the food here is quite enjoyable. Everything is made by hand, and you can tell the amount of love that is put into each dish. James, the owner, is a wonderful guy, and his staff is equally amazing. I DEFINITELY recommend eating here if youre in the area.
I was displeased with the service today. My wife and I went to eat there and we put our order in and waited over 10 mins till we got our tea . Then another 20 mins to get out salads which the meal came to us just after we got our meal . Then we also noticed a couple away from us was vaping inside your restaurant. We love the food there just please let them know that this hurts your business.
Classic Italian cuisine! The menu may seem intimidating but it is rather simple. Service is great and employees make sure all is well frequently. Definitely recommend their desserts overall
3/10 wouldnt recommend coming here. Food took forever to come out as well as having poor service.
Stopped by for lunch after moving daughter into new apartment. Service was fast and friendly, and everyone loved their food.
I had a wonderful meal tonight with my wife, brother, and sister-in-law. We started with water and tea. Then we ordered the spinach dip. Then we ordered our meal. My wife and brother had the Chicken Alfredo and salad. My sister-in-law has Eggplant Parmesan. I had Chicken rapped in Prosciutto with Italian vegetables. We had great food at a great place with family. Thank you La Trattoria Classic Italian restaurant for such a great time.
Post graduation lunch here was a success. For some silly reason a couple other places in Carrollton wouldn’t take a reservation on college graduation day, but Trattoria did. They even accommodated us when we kept adding people as more folks wanted to celebrate with us. The food was great, as was service. Almost hate that we found this place as my son was leaving University of West Georgia. We will still go back.
Excellent Italian. Very allergy friendly.So this place has been in Carrollton for a few years now and quite frankly my wife and I love the place. I am limited because of food allergies but can vouch personally that the Gnocchi and the sausage and peppers are amazing. And that veal marsala? So good.If youre in Carrollton and looking for a nice place to eat sit down, give this place a try. It is well worth it.
Our second time here and the food did not disappoint. The calamari was a hit as an appetizer and everyone loved their entrees! From chicken parmesan to grilled grouper with sauteed veggies...each was thoroughly enjoyed! Definetly recommended!!
Great little Italian restaurant with a huge menu. Most of the dishes come in a half or full portion option. Fried ravioli appetizer is delicious. Also, try a beer or wine flight. I like that they have local beer options like Printers Ale.
Everything was delicious and everyone in the restaurant very friendly staff very good to you
Had a great Stromboli and the gnocchi and pizza looked good too. Not too badly priced as well.
Great, attentive service. My parents and I enjoyed an excellent meal on recommendations of the staff. The appetizer of fried ravioli was the best Ive ever had. The tiramisu was also wonderful.
Yes! Yes! Yes! Just stopped in for a quick lunch. (I was actually headed for The Highlander on the square when I saw it.) Potato and Sausage Soup? Yes maam. Cheesy bread for an appetizer? Yes! Way too much food but it was fantastic. Box the leftovers to go, please. The honey-bun cake travels well. Honey bun cake??? Satans little helper put that in a box to go too. Yes! I took three bites while I was signing the bill. If loving you is wrong, I dont want to be right. They could make a fortune just off the honey bun cake.Ill find an excuse to go through Carrollton more often. I can see a hotel from the restaurant. I might have to book a night so I can enjoy the beer and/or wine too. If Monday afternoon is this good, I want to try Friday night.
Great food and the owner works hard to please his customers. Atmosphere is crowded and very noisy.
Amazing. The food was excellent and the service was too. We commented on how this is like the restaurants in atlanta except the food is better and the service is actually good but for half the price. We’ll probably drive back to Carrollton just to come here.
As I write this, weve been waiting over 1.5 hours after ordering entrees for a table of 5. I can only see 2 waiters and 1 food runner waiting on an entirely full restaurant, with one waiter doubling as the bartender. Our drinks have been refilled once in that time.Maybe I can speak to the food later if I ever see it, but for now I know that Ill be avoiding such a disorganized restaurant in the future.Update: seafood scampi was watery and disappointing. My stepmoms food was cold.
Great food and customer service ☺
After receiving our drinks, which were supposed to be sprite but tasted like just carbonated water, the waitress never returned to take our order or fix the drinks. We left and wont be back. They obviously do not care about customers or at least not us. People that came in 10 minutes after us, got to place their orders.
This was my first time in La Trattoria, I love iltalian food and I was celebrating my anniversary. When we arrived we were told that there was a 30 minute wait or that we could sit at the bar with no wait. We didnt chose the bar because I had my youngest son with us. So anyways we were seated in the middle of the restaurabt at a small table where they added a 3 rd chair for my son. We sat at the table with waitress and waiters walking passed us, noone ever stopping to even take our drink order. So after sitting there about 10 or 15 mins I notice that this large group just walked in and was seated. Which I know they probably already had reservations, but I notice that a waitress also went right over and started taking their order while we sit and still dont have drinks. So we get up and leave as soon as we walk out someone says maam, maam, I turn around. Im assuming the manager, are you leaving because no one ever came to serve you? So im thinking you seen us sitting there still with our menus after 15mins and you wait until we get up to leave to want to act concerned. No thank you. She proceeds to say come back in please we will buy your food. Who in their right mind would do that when you dont know whats going to be done to your food while preparing it, if anytging would be. But I told her that it was ok and she apologize and we went right on over to Little Hawaiian. Food and service was beyond exceptional. I will never step foot in this place again or recommend it.
The food was greay. Service was great. The only xomplaint I have was it was too hot. We were sweating and fanning. It was a 95 degree day and felt like no air on. Then they turned on their inside pizza oven.
Delicious food with a wide selection of vegetarian and vegan options! Very friendly staff. Only issue is longer than average wait times for food and service especially when they are busy. Nevertheless, would come back again
It’s taken me a while to write this as it’s been about two months since my visit to La Trattoria. I was visiting from North Carolina and chose the restaurant completely by chance. The amazing taste of the pasta sauce has stuck with me almost to the point of obsession. I’ve told just about everyone I know how I wish I lived closer. I’ve not had an Italian meal with as much flavor before or since. I had a small brick oven pizza as a side dish and it certainly didn’t disappoint either. I hope to visit again soon. Well done La Trattoria.
Awesome atmosphere! Delicious food! Impeccable service! Hot bartenders! 🔥
Working in the restaurant industry myself I know what to look for. When we first walked in the manager, Rachael came up and assured us her staff was working on a table for us. Kendall the bartender excelled in friendly service and a warming smile, also our waitress Sydney made sure we had any and everything we needed before we even knew it, defintely one of the best places around!!
The Pizza was amazing. The service was pleasant and quick. Definitely coming back soon.
2 pm with 4 tables occupied hostess seated us and then waitress did not take drink orders. Owner came to table and we told him this was the second time we had encountered this problem and he advised that unless we had been there more than five minutes he didnt care. Then he suggested that he could go and check the cameras. Told him to go ahead. Then changed his mind...obviously we left. Must have been shift change as we counted 6 other employees in the restaurant at the time. If leadership doesnt care then you cant expect anything more from the employees.
Delicious food. I suggest you make reservations if you want a booth and not a center table
Went in at 6:30 on a Friday night to have dinner with my son. Other smaller groups were seated before our group of two even though we got there first. When we finally decided to take two seats at the bar the bartender, in over 10 minutes never acknowledged us never got a drink order. But had plenty of time to chit chat with regulars and serve drinks to people who had sat down after us at the bar. After 10 minutes of being completely ignored at the bar my son and I left. They have lost my business and I will not be back.
The best place, in Carrollton, to eat Italian cuisine! If you go on your birthday, your meal is free, with a limit of $12.95!! My husband and I eat there nearly every year on our birthdays and many other times throughout the year!!
La Trattoria is one of the better places to eat in Carrollton. They have a good mix of heavier, hearty Italian dishes as well as some lighter dishes that do not lack in flavor. The atmosphere of dining room is cozy. I eat here often, and highly recommend it.
My husband and I had dinner here and the food was excellent. I will be returning very soon for lunch and dinner again.
The food wasnt good at all.
We were visiting very close friends in Carrollton. Knowing we loved Italian food, she took us to your lovely restaurant. Your veal was delicious!!! Will definitely return soon.
Revised review: Same five star service and food. I have to suggest the fried ravioli as an appetizer; the cheeses used are so good! This is still one of my favorite places in Carrollton!Previous review: Definitely some of the best food in Carrollton.
Always the best, consistently high quality and fast service, even when crowded. The ingredients are fresh and authentic. We love eating here ❤️
Our first experience at the restaurant was awesome. The staff are friendly and our waitress was attentive. We were very impressed that they offered half portions. It is now on our list of restaurants to return to
This place is hands down the best Italian restaurant in Carrollton, and very affordable, and the pizzas the best youll find in town. Its the perfect setting for a nice peaceful meal, and the owner truly cares, and it shows in their offerings, and the staffs excellent. Highly recommended!
You guys... this place is one of the best places to come eat. the first time i came here was right after my graduation and let me tell you all of the food was incredible! this place is now a family favorite and whenever we want to eat somewhere different and cozy we come here !
Delightfully good! 😋 Go treat yourself!
Their red sauce (gravy) needs help, it has a slight metallic taste, but their presentation is good, their prices are a little high for it not being a real homestyle restaurant, maybe making a their own homemade sauce would be a beginning.
I like my food steaming hot out of the oven, but our plates were luke warm. Calamari was undercooked and soggy, not crispy at all. Service was good.
Great service, lots and lots of drink choices and very good food. The lasagna is out of this world. Every dish on the menu is a winner. No way to go wrong eating here!
I have always enjoyed their food! So tasty and true to S. Italian food. The Sangria was also amazing!
Love the food. Our waiter, Miguel made us 10x better
Ive ate here a few times and sometimes its really good and other times its just decent,the salads are good but small.
I absolutely love this place !!! We go once a week. I love the lasagna, I finally tried the pizza and it was awesome. But then I got the seafood manicotti and OMG it was amazing !!! If you dont like this place,then you dont know Italian food. I will continue going and would/and have recommend eating here. Id say Best in Carrollton.💜☺🖒🍴
I eat here weekly. Staff friendly, the food is consistently great.
Would of given it a 5 if large food portions were actually LARGE, the sauce & pasta fit better...and the floor wasnt so slippery that it made me fall😒!I tripped going down the ramp while exiting the bath room. My solid heels have tread, but whatever cleaner they used made me slip 2x! The ramp needs grip tape or a rug or something of the sort.As for the food, the olive salad is amazing! The veal scalopini dish was very good. Tho the noodles need to be thin spaghetti noodles. The penne noddles dont work as well, esp bc it doesnt soak up all the delicious wine shroom sauce! It could also use more butter in the sauce.Ill be back & next time hope the floor is less slick/slippery!
First visit today and my food was amazing! My waitress was very friendly too! Good food Good service 👌
We asked for a table because we were expecting 2 more people....we were told we could not have a table due to numerous reservations. We settled for a booth and were seated next to a table ....a few short mins later the waitress appoached and explained we would have to be done by 630 due to the number of reservations. Granted it was only 535 and we would have probably been done but you are not going to put a time limit on my dinner....so we left so they could have their table for their reservations. If your going to be that way make it reservation only! We went to shuckers for dinner and had a great meal...friendly service and were done by 630!
Hands down the best Italian food you can get! I HIGHLY recommend the chicken parmigiana! This place doesn’t disappoint.
We had excellent spaghetti takeout boxes for the relay team, a pre race feast the night before the race.
Awful. Service slow. Calzone made with lunch meat for ham and regular bacon instead of Canadian bacon, calamari overcooked and rubbery. Seafood scampi swimming in garlic butter. Definitely a waste of time and money
Homestyle atmosphere. GREAT service. Bruschetta was money. Adults and kids both enjoyed dinner.
My friend works there and I wanted to try it because she worked there. She was not there the day I went there. I ordered the chicken alfredo and my daughter got the childrens portion of spaghetti. There was a big nasty hair in my food, the chicken was SO dry. I requested my food to be hair free and for the chicken to be removed. It came back just with everything tossed up with the hair removed and just warmed up. They DID NOT make a fresh one for me, DID NOT remove the charge for the chicken, my daughter was charged for the adult portion, the alfredo sauce had huge hunks of garlic in it. It was NOT good. I would never go back.
Food is incredible, always was my go-to for pizza in carrollton but sadly havent been back since they stopped making big pizzas. :( Bring them back!
Some colleagues and I went here for lunch.(4/13/16) I had the Steak Marsala, two other guys ordered a pepperoni calzone, and another guy order a pasta dish. I knew something was up when I ate half my steak and started feeling full. By the time we got back to the office, my stomach was bloated and rolling, my skin was flushed, my heart was racing, and I could literally see and feel the blood pumping through my eyeballs. The boss came in and even said I looked a little flushed. I can tell you from experience, that these are symptoms of high levels of MSG. I asked my buddies and they all had the same symptoms. Im not eating here again. You can be gluten free all day, but if youve got MSG in your food, you might as well be a Chinese Buffet restaurant.
EVERYTHING was awesome.....DONT CHANGE A THING!
Relaxing, cozy atmosphere. Was actually difficult to find nestled away in the corner of Carrolltons downtown square. Food was incredible; started with the seafood bisque, then a garden salad with roasted red peppers, and finally a delicious chicken piccata. Prices were very reasonable, and the wait staff friendly and attentive. Will be going there again this week.
Excellent personality and great food
Great food & atmosphere/ service if you like itilian a must
If your craving cheap low quality food, you have found the right place. We ordered the Tuscan chicken salad and calamari. The chicken looked like it was prepackaged refrigerator chicken, and the calmarie was low quality and quantity. It came out with barely anything on the plate and tasted of rubber. Steer clear, much better dining in Carrollton. Suggestions: Shuckers, Brown Dog Eatery for Charleston bites, and also little Hawaiian!!
Their service was quick and polite, their food was very good. Honestly, you could probably get full off of the appetizers, alone. Yes, it was a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for.
Really good food but only two tables outside, or wait for a table
If you are a gluten free eater, or are vegetarian or vegan, or have any dietary restrictions, this establishment is extremely knowledgeable. The dishes are also very tasty!
First time ordering from here and sadly didn’t have the best experience. I say this because my chicken in my Alfredo taste burnt and I was really looking forward to it.
Warm environment. Feels like family. All the good is made fresh and in house. Tons of vegetarian and vegan options.
One more star than they deserve... They reserved shrimp and clearly stated they dont want me to bring black people there again.. Would be the perfect place for racist if there food wasnt underdone.. But that could of been purposely done also...
Service was great and food was wonderful! Its a smaller restaurant and it was full so it was a little noisy.
Food was pretty good. Fresh. Didnt care for them adding a 20% tip automatically. I tip 20% but only for excellent service.
Great food, the parmesan dressing is fabulous! Reasonably priced and they have half portions which is very nice. Good option for lunch or dinner!
Your standard Italian cuisine, small, somewhat noisy dining room, pasta dishes and pizza, mixed drinks, wine and nice beer selection, off town square, unpretentious, good value, attentive service, definitely prefer this to Olive Garden, we will return
I eat here for lunch to celebrate when I get a new contract for work. When my gluten-free family travels to Georgia to visit me, we always have to eat here. This place is THE best! Almost all of their menu options can be made gluten free. La Trattoria is one of the few places where you can actually get gluten-free spaghetti with delicious, gluten-free, hand-breaded chicken parmesan! You read me correctly. If delicious, gluten-free, breaded entrees seem like a fairy tale in that dreary world of sampling various cardboard recipes while your personality is slowly and methodically dragged into the gluten-free eating cult that your family or friends are trying to force-convert you too, then you need to stop the insanity and take them to La Trattoria. The gluten free options are plentiful, so when your party puts the gluten-free pressure on you, you can just say, Ill have what theyre having, and make it gluten-free. You wont be condemned to the eternal and solitary choice of the one gluten-free menu item like that other place, the garden where they dont grow the olives and cant cook their gluten-free penne pasta for the correct amount of time. La Trattoria cooks gluten-free right, EVERY time. I only go to that other place if I HAVE to. If you are a sophisticated person, but still cant stand the thought of eating gluten-free, you may be able to leave an extra tip one day and establish a code word with their staff. Just order everything, and say Make that gluten-free-free. Say it really fast and your party may be none the wiser, but if you just try the GF menu, youll probably see what youve been missing. After eating gluten-free for a while, the clouds will part. The sun will shine brightly. The birds will sing. The manic depression will lift. Your arthritis will go way. Your thinking fog will clear up. Your migraines will subside. Maybe other great things will happen too, but you can definitely write off your new GF diet on your taxes. Now isnt that all we really want in life? A life free from worry, taxes and wheat? Ill see you at La Trattoria.
Best Italian food in Carrollton. Atmosphere and service were great also
Food was fantastic. Service was good . Could have been a little better. Will go again.
Great food. The amaizing service and cocktail was even better. Katelyn our waitress was a real pleasure to be around.
Have loved everything from here until I tried the supreme calzone. Calzone itself was bad, dipping sauce tasted spoiled.
Absolutely the best pasta the South. If youre into cocktails a must is the Ole Fashion.
Hands down best, most authentic Italian in town. Great location. Only downside is the service gets pretty slow if the restaurant gets busy.
Very good food and service. We went on a Saturday between lunch and dinner. We would eat there again.
They have vegan menu, now. Traditional Italian food unlike the larger chains. Good food and ambience are always a plus.
Its a very nice place the atmosphere seemed really nice I deliver for doordash. it had to be one of the more elegant places that I received Food from to take somewhere to deliver
Great food and great service. Will be sure to go back when im in town again.
Very rude owner. Food was terrible and they treat their employees terrible. Would. Not. Waste. My. Time. There is a 100 other places I would go to before this place.
The service and food is great. I recommend the trio. Also, the sausage and peppers is fantastic.
Service was slow even though the place was fairly empty. Friendly but still slow. My coworker and I both thought the food was sub-par. Wouldnt recommend it
Good food, good service
Best restaurant Ive even been to hands down. The flavors really show through the food its amazing!!
Amazing food, option for half portions, ( still large ) craft beer and amazing food and selections with gluten-free options. Fantastic staff.
Mt husband had vegetarian lasagna & I had the vegan gnocchi. The oil on the gnocchi was too salty. But the gnocchi alone were great.

2022-04-13Great food, great service, reasonable prices.We split the Tour (chicken parm, lasagna, fettuccine alfredo) and it was great. Definitely enough for two. I also tried one stuffed meatball on the side, it was huge and stuffed with cheese, pepperoni, and other meats — ridiculous and awesome!The complimentary garlic bread is fresh and fantastic, we’ll have to come back and save room for dessert next time!

2022-05-23My friend and I ate here today and its safe to say that it was a pretty sad lunch. We are mostly disappointed because we spent about $80 between us for food that was basically just edible and not even very good. The cheese sticks were pretty good, but the spinach dip was extremely grainy. However, the bread dippers for the spinach dip were pretty good. When we got to our main courses, we were both disappointed. She got the chicken marsala and we were met with chicken that was not breaded like the menu said it would be and it kind of looked like the chicken had just been boiled and put on a plate. It was also completely drowned in the sauce making the chicken extremely soggy and was just generally messy. On the other hand, I got the combination of chicken Alfredo and tortellini. The tortellini was okay. There wasnt anything overtly wrong with it. But my chicken Alfredo was cold and the chicken was dry. It took a while for me to get someones attention just to ask them to pop it in the microwave. At which point, it was just gross. Thankfully the drinks were good. I got a blueberry thrill and it was good and she got a sangria which she also said was good. Also thankfully, our waitress was very sweet, just very new. All in all, we did not enjoy our experience here and we were very disappointed for how much we paid. We will most likely not be coming back.

2022-04-04This is the best gluten free Italian food I have ever had the pleasure of eating. If you are celiac I recommend going here for dinner. The staff can answer any questions and everything is fantastic. **we went back to Carrolton just to eat here** I feel very safe eating here and the staff is very knowledgeable and helpful about what can and cannot be made gluten free. Love this restaurant

2021-08-14Best Italian food Ive had in a long time. Great service even in the current staffing shortage. Very reasonable prices and portion sizes are big enough to share between two adults.The kids meals include a drink and salad, grapes or applesauce ($6 each) with water to drink it only costs $5!If youre looking for authentic Italian food in Carrollton then you definitely want to try La Trattoria!

2022-05-12Food was edible. Vegetable lasagna was very salty and the lump crab seemed like it may have been scraped out of a blue crab with a lot of shell pieces left. Lastly i opened my to go container to only find my container of strawberries to be a container of ketchup and the bottom of my cheesecake seems soggy, almost like they allowed it to sit on a wet sink

2022-03-09After not being able to eat out for so long without restrictions, it was nice to see a return to normalcy. The menu is extensive and offers different dietary options on almost every meal choice. My wife and I both ordered the Stuffed Ravioli. I chose the spicy Italian sausage with marinara sauce. My wife had the fried chicken with rosatella sauce. Both came out in the appropriate amount of time and very hot from the oven. Food tasted great! Great customer service and the price was right for the amount served. We will definitely return. This location is highly recommended!

2022-05-11The food was good but the low rating is due to the service …. Or, more accurately, lack there of. The server started out well but aside from bringing our food we NEVER saw her again. When she brought our food, we asked for condiments … never received them. Drink refills? Nope, we had to chew on ice cubes for any liquid. We asked for a toothpick and to go containers. Nothing. We had to get the items ourselves.

2022-03-30I tried to give them 2 chances. My first time ordering, my order was given to another person. The food was subpar once received. I tried to dining here again and my experience was not pleasant. I had to ask for everything as I was ignored while sitting at the bar. I watched several families ( that arrived well after me) receive their food before asking about my single order. I then received my food that had been sitting and it was undercooked and under seasoned.

2022-05-15Had their gluten-free eggplant parm. It was fabulous! They also gave me a gluten free roll (bread was a free app for the table). Waitress said that the kitchen prepares the GF items in a separate area to avoid cross contamination. Two big thumbs up on the quality (and quantity) of food!

2022-04-12Tasty but why too much oil. After the waitress poured the extra oil off for me, I enjoyed the meal. The atmosphere was nice for my daughter and my girls day out.
