Met friends there. Easy to get there. Parking available but limited. We got lucky and found a spot right away.Food was very good. I had a daily special, a clams and mussels risotto.Lots of choices for wine, both foreign and domestic.We sat inside due to the weather, although a covered heated patio was available. It was fairly noisy, mostly from the street.

Disappointed with the service here. Our food took quite a while to come out. It felt like we were forgotten. The food was pretty good though. Some of the best ravioli I’ve had. Chocolate mousse cake was fine. Bad service review because we wanted to order the weekend special dessert, and our waiter told us it was sold out (at 7ish on a Friday). As we were halfway through our chocolate cake, he brought a piece of the dessert special to the table next to us - a party that arrived after us and ordered dessert after us. I really wanted to like this place, but the service felt like a slap in the face, and the food, while good, isn’t good enough to make up for that. I’ll find a better Italian restaurant somewhere else, and I’d recommend you do the same.

We, a party of 4, enjoyed our meals. The food was delicious. Three of us had the sea bass special and the other had ravioli. Two of us shared an arugula salad. The salad was fresh and the main courses were prepared perfectly.

Let me start by stating that this review is by no means a reflection of the service or the quality of food we received. It is a reflection of this establishment not vetting their new hires more thoroughly, thus causing a very stressful atmosphere for my wife's birthday dinner.On Feb. 4th, 2024, my wife chose Trattoria | Trullia as her go to for her birthday dinner, as she has many times in the past. During those visits the service and food was always top notch.However, this visit was different. See, my wife works at another restaurant over in Cardiff, which sits right on the beach, and she as well as some of her fellow co-workers were the victims of sexual harassment. A fellow co-worker had been under the influence of drugs and was grabbing his fellow female coworkers inappropriately.This person was immediately fired.Imagine my wife's distress when we arrived at Trattoria and he was now employed there. She sat through our entire meal, while not saying anything to our group for fear of ruining her the dinner vibe and causing a scene. This was HER birthday dinner. He had even come to our table and bussed a couple dishes in close proximity to her and then promptly, kept his distance.She only informed me of her distress after we arrived home.I am sure you can only imagine how absolutely infuriated I was upon learning of this.Having grown up in Leucadia and patronized this establishment many many times, its saddens me that I can no longer recommend this establishment to my friends or family until this new hire no longer works here.I would ask that this establishment vet its new hires better.

I have been here many times and every time their dishes have been amazing. Last night, I got the Linguine Mediterraneo in white wine sauce and I already want to go back and have it again!

I've been wanting to come here for a long time, I know the owners who are lovely. I simply loved it! Cozy place, excellent service from André, and theOssobuco with risotto was the best I’ve ever eaten in my life… it melted in your mouth, super tasty! I will definitely come back more often. ?

I had the pleasure to savor Ravioli Classic, ricotta and spinach.It was absolutely delicious! The pastas are homemade, just creamy and it dissolves in your mouth! Delicioso!

Food is really good and worth the price. It was very noisy so maybe try a table outside so you can visit with your friends:)

I was told that Trulli is a good Italian resturant. I went yesterday & discovered it to be a great eatery. The food was fantastic & the prices below fair. I met Andrea & Luca who provided excellent and very family friendly sevice. I will return on a regular basis. David
