La Trattoria - Arcata

I have been here for years (as I live from the city), and it is consistently the best Italian restaurant I know.

Family owned and local, mostly organic ingredients. so far this is the best Italian food in humboldt county. it is fresh and there are in the regular two vegan options on the menu. the pasta is made fresh and shed with all kinds of delicious ingredients. my favorite is the garlic and the cale with roasted brothcrumbs. not to miss!

Absolutely a gem. This place offers no-frills high quality food offered in a comfortable family-style atmosphere. I try to eat here as often as possible. (Hint- it's all about the smokey eggplant or the carbonara! I love that they use organic ingredients and source from the farmers market which is something no other restaurants really do (except Brio in a token way and Cafe Phoenix My most indulgent moments are when I get the carbonara to go and eat it sprawled out in my livingroom! Thank you La Trattoria for all the love you pour into your food and this community!

Likely subsidized by tax dollars. local is 'code ' for can 't compete in the market place of ideas and goods services . Why? Usually: Poison. If the fresh raw vegetables don 't taste good, Then; Either it is one 's palate. Or, Then; It is the farmer 's use of poisonous practice. Good flows to good.

We had a lovely experience here for dinner. I wouldn't say it was super authentic, but the dishes celebrate the flavors of real food, using high quality ingredients. Most of the pastas are handmade and the one we tried was excellent. The salad was fantastic. We had the local Winnett chardonnay which was awesome. My complaint is they didn't seem to understand the concept of a spaghetti carbonara, but hey, that sauce is not easy to achieve. :
