• Italian • Palisades Northwest

Booked 43 times today

Claudio Pirollo grew up in Belgium where he soon discovered his passion for cooking as he wandered around his father’s fine Italian épicerie (grocery store) and watched his mother prepare dinner every day. The dual influence of Italy and Belgium triggered Chef Pirollo’s aspirations to develop his knowledge and experience with different flavors.A Trattoria is not a pizzeria, it is an Italian-style eating establishment that is generally much less formal than a ristorante but more formal than an osteria. It is similar to what the French call Bistrot.Trattorias are traditionally family owned, casual, rustic neighborhood restaurants found throughout all of Italy that offer fresh, regional, local and family specialties on the menu.

I had such an amazing time. The happy hour menu is filled with incredible options for awesome prices and the specialty drinks were delicious. But we also stayed for dinner. The lamb chops were perfectly cooked as well as the roasted salmon. The rice is undescribable but delicious. I had never had saffron rice like this before, and the herb saffron rice with the fish was paired perfectly. The custom cocktails were well balanced with the meals that we had. The staff was welcoming and willing to explain everything that we ordered. There was ample parking and just an overall perfect way to end 2024. lamb chops. Thank you

For a treat to yourself go to Claudio's Table, a little pricey as everything down to the bread is a la carte...however, it is excellent! My short ribs were perfect and my mom's branzino was grilled to a moist and delectable turn....be ready to spend >$100 for two and save room for dessert.
