| - A farm to table restaurant in Phoenix with a frequently changing menu that serves flavorful dishes that is served family style - and it's very good! This is my first visit to Tratto, and none of the misgivings I had from reading critical Yelp reviews were confirmed. I called on Saturday noon to make a reservation for 5 PM that evening. Kendall called me back at 3:30 PM to let me know that they had availability - so far so good. We ordered cocktails. Yes the cocktails come in small glasses, but my margarita was really strong - nothing watered down about it. The waiter was helpful in explaining the menu. Before his explanation, we were going to order 2 protein plates from the Secondi section, but he explained that that was going to be a lot of meat. We ended up with 3 Antipasti plates (salad with Pecorino cheese, sautéed chicken livers, Farinata). The previous reviewers raved about the chicken liver pates, and so I was a little worried when the sautéed livers showed up. The garlicky livers were accompanied by jam that gave this dish that salty-sweet dichotomy and made the livers buttery. There was no grittiness or the metallic taste of livers that I was afraid of. So definitely give the livers a chance if it's on the menu. We polished off the Antipasti dishes and we were already feeling a little full. The Primi pasta was the Garganelli with duck confit. Mmm! Now we're really getting full, and getting worried that we ordered too much food. We chose the pork chops as our Secondi, and ordered roasted potatoes to accompany it. Very lightly seasoned and the chops were bone-in and sliced so that each person could get 2 slices. At this point, we all ate one slice, a potato each, and then had to ask for a box to take these chops and potatoes home. We powered through dessert by sharing a panne cotta with blood oranges and mint. The Americano coffee was really strong too! My dining companions were all older ladies, and so the amount of food presented was more than enough. The flavor of all the dishes were subtle and pleasing to me. But if you're dining with men with hearty appetites who like their food to be on the large side, the portions may not be enough and you may have to order an additional plate. Also if you're expecting a heavily garlic centered tomato paste extravaganza type of Italian food, then this is not the restaurant for you.
