| - I live in Chicago and visit Scottsdale in the winter. I went to Tratto in Phoenix on Saturday night, 2/4, there were 3 of us and we were excited to go. I've eaten at Pizzeria Bianco 2 years ago and still talk about it. At Tratto, we could not get a reservation 10 days ahead and that really said so much to me. We went anyway and were lucky, we got 3 seats at the bar, totally fun!
I'm a lifelong restaurant guy and I understand that kind of demand. I completely respect all that Chris and his teams are doing. Then the big smiles, the hospitality, the knowledge each and every staff member has is spot on and sincere. Cool little restaurant, designed to feed your senses with simple yet detailed atmosphere, the menu changes slightly and is small, it helps the decisions so just have one of everything...no kidding, experience it all and the depth of flavors in the food and cocktails. Great wine list, only quality wines...you pay for quality and I was so happy to see that they don't overprice themselves, they are fair with the pricing.
Chris is a treat to meet...one of the most interesting and passionate guys I've come across in our business. I talked to him and had a great conversation. Knowing the level of knowledge, talent and desire to do GREAT food, in itself is worth 5 stars on Yelp...anyone who works hard, is caring and sincere towards their customers and has that "desire and passion" understands all that Chris and his team put into these restaurants. I am a life long fan...my interests are in finding and enjoying great restaurants, I must say, I look to feed my creativity and got so much inspiration from eating at Tratto. Good luck Chris, thank you for the great meal and conversation, I will be spreading the word about your restaurants and will be bringing my team to your restaurant's soon. Cheers to all of you! Michael
