This is a great Italian restaurant in Kits. The food is tasty and the atmosphere is alive and vibrant. Try the pasta platter for two, you won't regret it. Decent prices and friendly staff.

We loved the pasta dish we shared and the complimentary tender and tasty meatballs to start truly whetted our appetite for Trattoria. We managed to get the last table outside and enjoyed the street bustle!

Located on West 4th Ave. just a short trip from downtown Vancouver is one of my favourite, casual places to eat. My daughter and I stumbled upon this busy/cool place 2 years ago and return whenever we can. As I said, I have always hated brussel sprouts, over cooked, mushy. Oh no, not here. These little morsels are crispy/brown with... More

Love the panzanella salad! This place is stylish and delicious, and we frequently take clients there for lunch. The gnocchi are excellent too.

My girlfriend and I go to trattoria on a regular basis. We always sit at the bar, there isn't usually any wait for the bar, you might have to wait for a table during the peak hours. If Matt or Jake are working, sit at the bar, the guys are great and their service is impeccable. I believe Tuesday is... More

I have been here probably 6 to 8 times since it had opened. I have always been a fan of the Glowbal Group of Restaurants and Trattoria definitely helps to maintain their reputation. I wouldn't consider this restaurant upscale but I wouldn't say completely casual although you will see all sorts here at different times, from families to business dinners... More

Overall I enjoyed my dinner at Trattoria - If I could, I'd actually give it a 3.5. The food was very good, but this week I had been dinning at some of the fancier Italian restaurants in the city and it wasn't quite at that level. We started with the Bruschetta sampler which is really good (though greasy). We each... More
