Ordered the Veal Saltimboca. While the dish varies from kitchen to kitchen, this version suited my tastes nicely. The veal itself was high quality, tasty & tender. Spinach, cheese and crisped prociutto complete the presentation over a bed of pasta and a unique, almost creamy sauce. Also ordered the baby clams as an app. Delicious in their own right.
If you're seeking an authentic Italian dining experience with an old country feel, perfect for large gatherings or an intimate night out for two, this is your new go to. Let Eduardo make you feel like royalty.

I placed a carry out order for three dinners from this restaurant. One of the dishes was their chef featured special that weekend. The cost was about $47 for the entree. The order was picked up and delivered. Upon my order arrival, I opened the entree box and was disappointed to see a few tasteless boiled gnocchi (about 6 of them) and 3 small pieces of steaks. The container looked half empty. The food was tasteless and lacked presentation. Given the price, I expected better. I immediately contacted the restaurant and spoke to a host, who then transferred me to the manager/owner (Joe). He came to the phone with an aggressive and threatening tone, before I could explained the issue. He took no accountability or apologize for their shortcomings. He said he would credit our bill for the one dinner and transferred the call back to the host. She assured me she would handle this, but it never happened. I am a big supported of small businesses, however, this is an establishment that I would never do business with, based on the lack of professionalism, rudeness, and service exhibited. To those who are considering this place, look to other places in the area who will treat patrons with respect and have integrity and follow through. Just read the other poor reviews and you will see a pattern.

Always a staple to make dinner here. The combo of outstanding service and impeccable authentic prepared dishes is a must for any Italian foodie. Quick to accommodate last minute requests and always handle any issues with grace and a customer forward approach.

Nabruzzi Trattoria in Lutz is a true gem. It’s a family-owned restaurant with such a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The new owner, Joe, is amazing—so attentive and genuinely made us feel special from the moment we arrived. Our waitress, Everly, was fantastic: friendly, professional, and on top of everything. The food was delicious and authentically Italian, and it’s clear a lot of care goes into every dish. There’s plenty of parking, reservations are easy to make, and the overall experience was wonderful. My Aunt Peggy, who lives nearby, will definitely be back!

Wonderful!!!! It’s so hard to find excellent Italian food without it being loaded with butter, garlic, or cheese. This place was truly about the quality. The server recommended the blackened chicken carbonara, which I ordered and thought was fantastic. I’ve been to Italy and ordered Carbonara twice. Although, we are not in Italy, my dish was very close to the quality I had there. Well done!

Great food and friendly staff. A bit busy because of this so be sure to make a reservation ahead if you can. Parking can be fun too when the plaza is busy so park in the back parking lot behind the building. The sangria is delicious... enjoy.

So I'm slightly obsessed with Trattorias. I love the small, home cooked by Nonna feel. The place that makes you feel like Sunday dinner with your family. Although this place is slightly larger, it does give a quaint vibe. I would love the ambiance and decor to be a bit more nostalgic. The bathrooms were immaculate. Our server was very sweet and attentive. We didn't have to wait on anything. As for the food... the soup was delicious. If you like old school casear salad with anchovy oil and lemon, you will love it. If not, get the house salad. The chicken was cooked to perfection. It had a ton of flavor and the portion was large. You could tell the pasta was homemade. The red pepper sauce on the pasta was delicious. Literally, one of best I've had. We did have a problem with the meal, but the owner was very quick to come over and make it right. He took his time giving us the story of the restaurant and I appreciate that. The cannoli was out of this world, definitely made with love. We will be back for sure. The only suggestions I would love to see is fresh parmigiana at the table and seasonal sangrias. They did have a large party room and people were raving about the pizza!! Now go try them!!
