Cozy and quaint setting that will bring you back to Italia! A true trattoria one would find roadside in Tuscany. Our cuisine is traditional authentic Italian. With many classical dishes including homemade lasagne, our classic ricotta & spinach ravioli and gnocchi made in house daily. Bread fresh from the oven every morning compliments our garlicky Sicilian tomato pesto dipping sauce. A rock star wine list with more than 100 bottles offered at every price point and more than 20 wines by the glass to choose from. Daily specials are more contemporary Italian with a range of game meats including rabbit, venison, quail and bison using produce and recipes of the season. Gluten-free & whole grain pastas are available as well as a wide variety of vegetarian items to choose from.

We pride ourselves on excellent customer service and high quality products for an enchanting experience for all of our guests. Raise your glass and fill your soul with heart and goodness ~ cheers!

"My husband and I were looking for a good Italian restaurant to take a few friends to for lunch, with good food and the ability to have a conversation while dinning. The week before our luncheon we decided to have dinner with family to try the menu. Excellent food! we would recommend Trattoria I Trulli to anyone who loves authentic Italian food. Priced reasonably, good size portions, (we took food home ) and attentive waiters all wrapped up on the 101. We had the luncheon three days later with wonderful friends and a great menu. The lasagna is the best I have ever tasted, a must try A great place to people watch!!!! We Loved It!!!"

"I was very pleased with every aspect of this restaurant. The food went way above and beyond any other Italian style food I've ever tasted (outside of Italy). The waiter was friendly and just attentive enough. They happily corked and decanted the special bottle of Nebbiolo we brought ($15 charge), and, thankfully, not once did they sing or provide any other type of special occasion "dog and pony show" to annoy their guests!"

"A friend recommended this restaurant for my husbands birthday and it was great!!! It is located right on the street corner in the middle of town. We arrived early and they were able to seat us immediately. I am not sure if there are two sections but the room we were seated was rather small but comfortable, and they do have several tables set up on the sidewalk with heaters.Due to a communication error between the staff and server resulting in my husband having to ask who our waiter was but after that they could not have been more accommodating and apologetic, in fact the waiter brought us dessert on him. The food was authentic and good.Great service!!"

"We hear about other great Italian restaurants, but keep going back to I Trulli because the food is soooo good! Can't imagine anything being any better!Waiters are very helpful if you need suggestions about either wine or food. The lasagna (I get the beef version) is fabulous with a rich,fresh sauce; my dinner guest had a fish dish with wine sauce which he said was phenomenal.The portions are large so I often get to enjoy the remainder of my meal for lunch or dinner the next day! Tiramasou is made on site (as are all desserts)and is excellent-firm,beautifully flavored. The tables are close together-this is a small restaurant-so probably not a place to go for a quiet, intimate dinner or serious, private discussion. Lively European ambience."

"The bartender was very friendly. We had a good time talking to him with a glass of wine waiting on friends. The food was delicious and our server was attentive and friendly. The place is very small and crowded, but it is worth it."

"I'm not sure I understand why this restaurant is so highly rated on Yelp. The food is slightly above average, the service is just average, and this place is quite noisy. Maybe I'm too picky?"
