Trattoria Italiana - Ascot

RACECOURSE ROAD'S LYGON STREET: $18.50 Eggplant Parmigiana (traditional and perfect), Tuscan sangiovese $9 (glass) and very nice, Moretti beer presented with a big cold glass $8.50, and I'm satisfied and very pleased. A light breeze under the canvas and a place inside with a lot of style like Lygon Street Carlton's best, complete with photos from Italy. Not a huge meal but for $18.50 and at lunch time, I had more than I needed and felt comfortable. I felt like I was sitting in Tiamo in Carlton. Great service of course, and a real Italian business. You could bring a girlfriend here and she'd be saying later: Let's go back to Trattoria Italiana. Great place. I'll be back, or we'll be back. J

I’ve come here for takeaway orders twice now and both times I’ve had some delicious carbonara pasta. The first time I also bought a salad that was okay and the second some garlic bread that was pretty good too. <br/ <br/ The restaurant itself is on a busy eatery street in Hamilton that is packed full of flavour. However it’s easy to find a park on the street and then head into the restaurant. There’s plenty of seating inside and out and there was live music on the night I popped in to grab dinner. <br/ <br/ It’s clear to see the servers work hard and the kitchen is efficient as the food is always quick and full of flavour. I’d love to come dine in at this restaurant soon and taste more of their menu but any place that has a delicious carbonara is excellent for me.

The Hammers fav Italian in the area , food and service are generally top notch here and the addition of a solo guitarist on a Friday or Saturday night will make your evening , will post some pics from my next venture here as it won’t be too long till they’re back from their break

This place is another shining example of why you should not always rely on reviews to decide on a restaurant. There's a collection of circumstantial negative reviews which is unfortunate considering it may deter people from trying Trattoria Italiana in the first place. Definitely try this place out for yourself because we're very glad we did. Great location, great ambiance, excellent food and service (shout out to Chloe). Not once did we have to call or wait for service, everything was done with a smile and with haste. Waiting time for our food and beverages were pretty standard for a restaurant, the food however, was not. It was amazing! The only negative criticism I could give is the chairs were slightly uncomfortable (for me, not for everyone) and the table could have been a tad bigger for the four of us, but we managed quite easily. Try this place out, it's worth it. Honestly, what do you have to lose?

Tuesday night and it was very quiet in the restaurant. Staff were good as was the food. Pasta was excellent. Clean fresh and authentic Italian The stuffed mushroom was ok but nothing to get to excited about. Overall I was impressed and happy with the food and service although it was a Tuesday
