LaTrattoria Old Town has been serving Authentic Italian cuisine since 1983. This is our original and flagship location located in the heart of Key West at 524 Duval Street. This bistro type setting offers one of the premier intimate settings in the lower keys. All of our entrees are prepared fresh to order using only the freshest of ingredients. Our signature dish, Yellowtail snapper, is locally caught daily and prepared fresh with garlic, capers and tomatoes in a lemon white wine butter sauce--it is to die for. When dinner is over look no further than Virgilios Martini Bar, located directly behind the restaurant. Virgilios offers an extensive Martini menu along with live entertainment 7 nights a week. This sexy speak easy sits just off of Duval street and is for sure to satisfy your pallet with refreshing libations.

    Although they were Friday night busy our table was prepared for us when we arrived. We were seated promptly with our drink order taken. Service throughout dinner was prompt and attentive. We have eaten here many times and the food quality is consistently excellent. Our only criticism, minor as it is, is in the noise level that makes conversation somewhat of a challenge.

    Service left a lot to be desired as our waiter was not very kind, attentive, or helpful. The food was great, and the martinis were fantastic! Bruschetta wasn’t my favorite, but everything else was delicious! Large portions and lots of flavor.

    Food was HOT and savory. My girlfriends choose to share entrees. The price for a split meal was absurd. No warning seen or noted by waiter. We hate to waist food and none of us finished our meals.

    This is for the Duval street location. Food is very good. Lively crowd, on Sat night Nov 30, with acoustics adding up to noisy and crowded. 95 minutes to get our entrees. Excellent service otherwise. Staff was working very hard and moving very fast, and were courteous, but seemingly a bit harried. There are many other restaurants with great food, less wait-for-food, and less harried staff. Worth trying once, but overall due to the 95 min wait for entrees, the crowded condition and noise, I won’t return.

    They let us move our reservation, which was really appreciated on a busy night. Food was all really good.

    My sister and I stopped here for dinner. The food was very good. We started with the eggplant which was amazing, and the bread came out hot and fresh. We got two kinds of ravioli which were flavorful, but both dishes were practically swimming in sauce. Drinks were good, I’ve had a better cosmopolitan elsewhere. The key lime pie and mint chocolate chip martinis, however, were outstanding. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu but could’ve been more attentive, we had to wait a long time for our second round of drinks and the bill. The ambience was great, not too loud or crowded even with a full restaurant. Overall a really nice spot, would recommend trying at least once.
