A couple of weeks ago, my family and I came for an early dinner to celebrate my dad's birthday. There were only four other customers at the time, but the manager stopped us at the door to check for available tables. She then offered us a table right by the open door, which was cold, and the spot was also exposed to the harsh afternoon sun. We had a baby with us, so it wasn’t a comfortable choice. It seemed like she assumed we wouldn’t accept the table and would leave.

This charming hidden gem of a restaurant is family-owned and serves authentic Sicilian cuisine crafted by a talented Sicilian chef. Grace, the skilled cook, is adept at customizing dishes to suit each guest's tastes. Each meal is prepared fresh upon order, ensuring that every bite is a delight.

This was my second visit to this restaurant, and once again, I was impressed. Although we didn’t have a reservation, the staff was incredibly accommodating. The host made an extra effort to find us a table, allowing us to enjoy an impromptu dinner. The pasta is a standout dish—it was fresh, and the sauce was simply delicious. Additionally, the prices were quite reasonable. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a quiet and delightful Italian meal in the neighborhood.
A cozy, spotless Italian restaurant popular with the locals. We had a reservation and were seated right away. The Caesar salad came with anchovies as requested. I really enjoyed the chicken piccata—it was perfectly suited to my taste. The chicken parmigiana was also tasty. I particularly liked the steamed vegetables served with the entrees; they were fresh and cooked just right. Overall, a pleasant dining experience.

I visited this restaurant to celebrate my brother's birthday, and we were really well taken care of by Vinny and the entire staff. The owner and her mother went the extra mile for us; even though our dinner ran a bit late, they graciously accommodated our request to enjoy cake afterward. I also appreciate how their menu is designed like those in Italy, detailing the different courses.
This charming Sicilian restaurant, run by a lovely family, provides an authentic home-cooked Italian experience that stands out from any other place in Little Italy or along Arthur Avenue. Unlike many Italian restaurants in the neighborhood that are managed by Albanians, this venue boasts a delightful selection of Sicilian wines and beers, although they do not offer hard liquor.
L'italiano Trattoria is a charming family-run restaurant that offers outstanding food. A friend recommended it to us, and it exceeded our expectations. We sampled several dishes from the menu and loved each one. The service was excellent, and the prices were fair. I especially recommend the lentil soup and calamari—they are definitely must-tries.
At L'italiano Trattoria, I requested red tomato sauce instead of the garlic oil that usually comes with the dish. The waiter assured me, "I got you!" and delivered exactly that. Was it delicious? I’ll let the photo speak for itself! Their menu truly offers something for every taste.
