Re-Opening June 2, 2021

A spirited, bar-driven restaurant serving rustic Italian fare with modern sensibilities. Tratto means the stroke of a pen or a mark in Italian, nodding to both the neighborhood’s artistic history and the name of The Marker, the boutique hotel next door.

Tratto’s flavorful menu of simple, delicious and shareable dishes coupled with casual, communal-style dining creates a neighborhood bar experience inspired by the Italian tradition of “aperitivo,” or happy hour.

Guests can enjoy playful twists on classic Italian cocktails, boozy Italian sodas, and beer and wine from California and Italy, including a jug of house wine from the taps.

Choose from a wide selection of traditional small-plate antipasti, house-made pastas and pizzas, entrees served family-style, seasonal side dishes, and classic Italian desserts including ice creams, gelatos and sorbets.

Tratto's Feast Of 7 Fishes
US$125.00 per person
Prepaid
18 Dec 2024 - 24 Dec 2024
The Feast of the Seven Fishes is an Italian American Christmas Eve celebration that operates similarly to Thanksgiving, with traditional dishes and practices that span generations, decades and oceans. Known in Italy as La Viglia, which translates to The Eve, as in December 24 or Christmas Eve, The Feast of the Seven Fishes isn’t a religious celebration. Instead, think of it as a big, festive, fish-forward meal.

I have to confess I’m biased because I loved the restaurant that occupied that space previously when it was Hotel Monaco. I don’t care for the ambience at all now; modern and cold. The food was served fresh and hot - a real plus, but it didn’t taste outstanding. Had the fresh seafood of the day - branzini. The fritto misto was more vegetables than calamari and shrimp. The service was excellent - with Julia it looks like from the receipt. Her service lifted the experience.

Lovely service and some high quality food. Our sever was so very sweet and really kept her eye on the clock for our 730pm show. The pasta was amazing. The pizzas are good. Salads were both super yummy.

The pasta that I ate was fantastic. The drinks were all good. My dates steak was not the best cut of meat, I’d stick with the pasta on future visits. I My date was very late and the restaurant was still very accommodating to us, which I appreciated greatly.
