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.

    Really good food and service. Only issue we were seated next to entrance. Made our reservation weeks ahead as well so it wasn’t exactly cozy dining. This place is always a favorite.

    This is our go to every time we get the opportunity to get a night out. Food is always delicious and portions are large. The old town location is by far our favorite, however, those who are visiting KW may enjoy the ocean views of the other location. We recommend this establishment for very tasty Italian food.

    Had a terrible waitress and for the price there are much better options than to have to deal with a non attentive server. waited over 15 minutes to order and since the waitress did not run the food she failed for 20 minutes to check on us, when she finally did I had to ask for more water and bread and after the second time I had to ask(meal was finished at this point) she snapped at me angrily and loudly so much so the table next to us had an audible gasp. Too bad as a local I would have been there more but the food isnt good enough with rude servers

    When I walked in the door I could tell this was going to be a great experience of Italian food. And it was! The food and service were top notch. My husband is Italian and the food met his high standards. I would highly recommend La Trattoria !!

    My wife and I eat here every time we come to Key West. The food and atmosphere are excellent. On this visit, we had a terrible experience with our server. She was rude and impersonal for starters. We ordered a bottle of wine. Literally 30 minutes later, after we finished our salads and drank all the water we had, she arrived at the table with an opened bottle of wine and poured two glasses and walked off. Several minutes later we got her attention and told her we ordered a bottle of wine, not a glass (of something completely different). No apologies. Eventually brought what we ordered. Also, we asked about the size of the lasagna…she pointed to a saucer on the table and said it was only that big and too small to share. That seemed rather implausible so we ordered it anyway. Lo and behold, it was quite large and more than enough to share. That seemed a little shady. Just a very unpleasant experience. This restaurant is too good to employ people like that. That being said, I will mark this up to experience and it will not stop us from returning. Normally, a must do in Key West.
