trattorias

Casual Italian restaurants

Trattorias is the plural of trattoria, an Italian-style restaurant that's typically casual and family-run, serving simple, traditional fare rather than elaborate cuisine.

The word suggests unpretentious warmth—checkered tablecloths, house wine, and regional specialties: We found a great little trattoria in the old quarter.

The neighborhood trattorias were packed on Sunday afternoons.
