About La Trattoria Restaurant & Pizza Bar

Vintage photographs cover the dining room walls, setting a nostalgic backdrop for generous plates of classic pasta and crisp wood-fired pizza on King William Street. Tables hum with conversation as servers pace the floor with entrees of bruschetta, bowls of spinach gnocchi, and folded Calzone Rustico. Regulars lean toward the freshly shucked oysters or a glass of Coriole Negroamaro, while families take advantage of smaller pasta portions and pizzas sized down for sharing. For lively group dinners, an accordionist occasionally plays tableside before tiramisu hits the table.

  • Classic Trattoria Fare: Traditional menu featuring spinach gnocchi, Russo pasta, and crisp Calzone Rustico, alongside gluten-free selections.
  • Flexible Serving Sizes: Menu options include entrée-sized pastas and smaller pizzas suited for sharing across varied appetites.
  • Old-School Atmosphere: Walls framed with decades of patron photos, paired with occasional tableside accordion playing for celebrations.

    Crispy on the outside, packed with flavour on the inside, and somehow both comforting and indulgent at the same time.

  • Bruschetta Monte Bianco

    The bread arrives warm and crisp, layered with cheese and tomatoes that honestly taste like they were picked ten minutes ago from someone’s nonna’s garden. Sweet, vibrant, ridiculously fresh.
