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.

    Lively place with a lot of small tables close to another. The food came in big portions and was well seasoned. The waiter was attentive and gave us quick service and we got the appetizers after just a 10 min wait. The drinks took some time to prepare (from the bar) and ended up coming when our appetizers were al eaten so that was a bit of a disappointment sins I don’t like a drink to my main course.

    The food was pretty good but our server didn't come back once after taking our order until asking if we wanted the desert menu. No drinks. No water. Nothing. Might have just caught a bad night but I've never been ignored at a restaurant like I was last night.

    Dinner was OK. Cocktails less good. Nothing fancy,just an Old Fashioned and a Bee’s Knees. Salads were excellent, a Caesar and a Paesano. We each had a pasta dish. Very large servings. The shrimp ravioli carbonara was very good, full of flavor. The lobster ravioli in a tomato cream sauce was OK, not great. Both dishes had a lot of sauce (it seems to be the American way) that almost hides the pasta and seafood. We finished sharing a tiramisu. Very large and dusted in chocolate powder. It was not very good. Mostly whipped cream, very little of the cakey lady fingers and barely soaked in coffee, Kahlua or any liqueur. We should have skipped it. The service was busy, the atmosphere was nice.

    Food was good. Service was very slow. Waited over an hour for food and completely forgot to bring our bruschetta. Ordered key lime pie and they were out of it. Disappointed with service and friendliness of staff

    Took very long for the lasagna to come. But they did try to make up for it with free desert.
