Frequently Asked Questions

In Italy, a trattoria is a small, unpretentious casual restaurant. And that is exactly what we are….an intimate Italian inspired restaurant in a specialty meat shop. We serve Italian food with a Mid-Atlantic twist. Our ingredients are locally sourced except for a few spices and salt. Also some of our seafood comes from as far north as Maine but all are responsibly harvested.

The menu will change every week depending on season and what we feel like making. But you can count on it being an Italian inspired, 6 course dinner using local ingredients (except for a few spices and salt). Our first course will consist of a variety of small plates featuring vegetables, house made salumi & preserves. Followed by a few pasta courses, a protein with a couple of vegetable focused sides and dessert.

Yes and no. Unfortunately, we will not be able to accommodate gluten allergies. Our space is small and we make all of our bread and pasta in house. Cross contamination is unavoidable. Most other allergies/restrictions may be accommodated. Please let us know about allergies when booking with us. LAST MINUTE DIETARY RESTRICTIONS CANNOT BE ACCOMMODATED.

Our space is quite small. Each seating is 14 - 16 people so, for us, anything larger than 4 people is a larger group. But shoot us an email. We may be able to accommodate a table of 6 but anything larger than that would probably have to be a private dinner.
