Pasta is quite good, but the veal is bad. $32 for some tiny, overcooked and under seasoned pieces of meat. Tasted kinda like a McDonald’s patty. If you don’t want protein, are you’re happy with some solid pasta and inexpensive wine, then this is your spot.

We landed at SFO from New York City at noon and friends had made a reservation at La Traviata where we had an absolutely fabulous diner later that day. We started with a delicious red wine from Italy and even before we began ordering anything, our server brought out warm bread that clearly had just been baked and our palates began to savor what we realized would be a very memorable feast. While lovely operatic music serenaded us, we enjoyed delicious appetizers followed by wonderful entrees. I had the Salmone ala Wixel: the salmon was prepared inside a parchment paper pouch and cooked with olives, tomatoes, garlic, and pesto. John, the owner and chef, brought the salmon, still enveloped in the parchment paper and placed a plate with carrots and Brussel sprouts in front of me and proceeded to open the pouch and gracefully place the salmon with all the seasonings on my plate. I have never tasted any salmon as delicious as this very unusual and tasty dish. I’m lacking in the eloquence to describe the salmon but urge you to order it and savor the salmon yourself! My wife loved the seabass and my friends loved what they ordered. We shared a few desserts that were also wonderful. While we were up at 5am to make our flight from JFK, we spent hours enjoying our dinner and felt incredibly fortunate to be dining in this gem of a restaurant!
Absolutely love this place. Anytime I’m meeting friends in the city this is one of our go to spots. It’s been here for ages and always serving up incredible food. I’ve recently tried their lasagna and it was delicious, I could order and eat an entire tray

What a charming place. We recently dined at the restaurant for the first time to celebrate a milestone birthday and I am so glad we found this gem. Wish we had known it long time ago. From the minute we walked in, we felt transported to a warm and inviting neighborhood trattoria in Italy. The wall adorned with pictures of famous opera stars, the gorgeous stained glass panels, the mirrored wall, and fresh flowers on the table all added to the vibe. We loved the fresh baked bread. All the dishes we had were done to perfection and beautifully presented. My eggplant parmesan was the best I ever had with it being very flavorful yet not too heavy like many parmesan dishes. Finally the tiramisu and profiterole capped a perfect evening. Throughout the dinner the service was warm and attentive. We look forward to returning to this wonderful place.

I was recommended to go here and I had to fry chicken sandwich and the fries. It was so good and they always have the best coffee I have iced coffee every time I go there everyone is very friendly and the atmosphere is very nice.
