We went on a Tuesday night and the restaurant was actually full. The arancini appetizer was delicious and the Caesar salad was sooo good. Our pizzas were fabulous- the mushroom and the Italian sausage. Service was excellent!

Castelfranco salad tasty and a good change of pace. Cappelletti pasta, unusual and enjoyable. Gamberi appetizer was delightful. Wines by the glass, appropriate and enjoyable.

We had a nice birthday at Contessa - the staff remembered throughout the evening to say "Happy Birthday" to my wife. The food was very good and the service was attentive and enthusiastic. We would definitely go back - maybe sit at the bar and just have a snack.

Hello, I just wanted to let you know what a wonderful dinner, and outstanding service my Wife and I had last night at Tratto. We were attending a Billy Joel Tribute at the Curran Theater, which could not be more convenient ( 50 yards from the front door). Our Wonderful Server Maria, came to the table and smiled when she saw the shell shocked look on my face, from my driving and parking experience (we had a 5:30 reservation). We arrived at 6:00! She put me at ease, quickly got my Wife and I a drink and assured us that she would make sure we had plenty of time to make the Show. We ordered the most wonderful Beef Carpaccio ( maybe the best I ever had), a Caesar Salad and the Pesto Gnocci (Amazing!) Everything was delicious, and served timely and with a smile. Also, the Dining Room is beautiful and lively, with a big touch of Class! We will definitely be coming back for a return visit! Also, The Billy Joel Tribute was a Big Hit, Standing Room Ovations! What a great night! Thanks, Joe We will be retu
