   One waitress for entire, filled restaurant. We had 6-person table. Four meals served. Other two not served. We waited for our guests. Four cold meals when other two meals finally served. Waste of money.

   The food was good and fresh and the service was excellent. The place was charming but smelled like cat litter.

   Our group of 7 picky eaters had the most delicious and memorable dinner at Trattu. The food and service were excellent.... it is a must for a group dinner or romantic dinner for two!♥♥

   Nice and quaint with beautiful decor. Our server was very pleasant. It was Valentine’s Day and a bit busy but our food took FOREVER and was not especially memorable. Price was very reasonable especially for DC

   Giovanni’s Trattu is a must for Italian food every time we visit Washington DC. The spaghetti carbonara is my favorite! Service is good and the restaurant feels as authentic as they come.

   Always book your appointment in advance for Saturdays! It’s our favorite restaurant in DC and love how it’s a hole in the wall with authentic Italian food! The owner knows us and greets us. The staff is very kind. The pricing is very reasonable and quality is so high! It’s been our go to spot for anniversaries, celebrations or even when friends/family are in town! As a recommendation, I’d love to see authentic Italian pizza added to the menu!

    It was a wonderful choice for New Year’s Eve dinner. We are initially placed at a small table, but after other diners left, they moved us to a much nicer table without us asking them to do so. White staff was very good, but not overbearing, the food was delicious and just what we wanted.
