"Wife was in the mood for Italian, so we decided to give Trattoria a try. We had long been intrigued by what was back up that road. What's up there is a lovely location. The restaurant sits in what folks back in TN would call a holler. It's nestled among ridgelines next to a tennis club. To take advantage of their setting, they have a nice outdoor area, which includes a small playground for children. Once inside the service was excellent. The waitress spoke very good English, and they offered English translations on the menu. I must admit however, there was practically no one in the place, so she didn't have much else to do. Regardless, she was very nice. And after our meal, a man I assume was the owner came out to greet us and thank us for coming. But despite these pluses, the food was average at best. My wife had the spaghetti Bolognese, and it reminded us both of school cafeteria spaghetti. It wasn't terrible, but nothing to write home about. I had the Tagliatelle with chicken and beef in a red wine sauce. Reminded me of something you'd get out of the grocery store freezer...you know, like a Stouffers sort of thing. Again, nothing special. The wine list was generic...literally. It just listed about 8 varietals (e.g.: chianti, pinot grigio, etc.), which they serve either by the glass, or in a 0.5 liter decanter.I would definitely agree with an earlier review we read: “There are better Italian places to eat...”"
