LaTrattoria Old Town has been serving Authentic Italian cuisine since 1983. This is our original and flagship location located in the heart of Key West at 524 Duval Street. This bistro type setting offers one of the premier intimate settings in the lower keys. All of our entrees are prepared fresh to order using only the freshest of ingredients. Our signature dish, Yellowtail snapper, is locally caught daily and prepared fresh with garlic, capers and tomatoes in a lemon white wine butter sauce--it is to die for. When dinner is over look no further than Virgilios Martini Bar, located directly behind the restaurant. Virgilios offers an extensive Martini menu along with live entertainment 7 nights a week. This sexy speak easy sits just off of Duval street and is for sure to satisfy your pallet with refreshing libations.

    Don’t select outdoor tables at La Trattorria!!! 1. Servers forget you exist and you wait for help with even simple things like water in your glass 2. This is Duval street- noisy loud cars, and when it gets dark the bright lights on nearby stores bring a tidal wave of insects!!! 3. Food- too much Parmesan on many things. 4. Finishing up- I had go in and wait at host station for 5 minutes to get our server to come out and give us the bill! 5. The app asked for any particular celebrations. Yes, I shared it was my birthday dinner- my special choice. Zero acknowledgment. Why ask? We won’t be back…

    We had a wonderful meal at La Trattoria — everything we ordered was excellent, but the lobster and seafood ravioli was definitely the highlight — probably the best I’ve ever had. Coupled with the great service, this was a first-rate dining experience. Highly recommended!

    Incredible experience! Three of us all loved it! Martinis were amazing - The Dirty and The Mango and then Pinot Noir with our meal. The bread was served with olive oil, balsamic and Parmesan for dipping! We had Insalata Caprese and Insalata Paesana followed by Ravioli Trattoria, Penne Venezia and Spagetti Norma. All three of us thought our entree was the best! Servings were enormous- had leftovers for lunch and still have some left!

    A last minute decision after two nights of amazing swordfish meals, we decided on Italian. One of the house specials is lasagna and it truly was delicious, more meat sauce than noodles - perfectly cooked. I was the lone outlier and ordered chicken parmigiana, it too was cooked perfectly. Highly recommend making a reservation and enjoy!

    Food was outstanding, though service was a little slow. Not necessarily a complaint, just timing and attention to our table was on the slower side. Would definitely recommend and we hope to return.
