Roberto's Trattoria
Casual, friendly, and family owned, Roberto's Trattoria specializes in pasta, made by hand, from the freshest quality ingredients. Among our signature dishes are pear ravioli in a brandy cream sauce, and "Ravioli alla Roberto" filled with savory crabmeat. If you're feeling "crazy" try our spaghetti alla schizzofrenica. Roberto's Trattoria also features classical Italian dishes.

"Food was fine but nothing special. Parking is hit or miss. This visit it was realitively quiet but on another visit, a singer was belting out cover songs in the main dining area, essentially squashing any chance to converse with your dining party. Also, the place is a bit small for the whole piano bar thing..."

"I have been here at least 5 times. This is the only time I would not give Roberto's top marks. We did not have our regular waiter. We were a party of 6 and the waiter we had could not get any of our orders straight. You could only talk to the person seated right next to you because the noise level was so loud in the crowded restaurant. The food was fine, but not the over-the-top quality we have experienced in the past. I think we just picked the wrong night to dine out..between mother's day and graduations, etc. it was too crowded. I will definitely go back to Roberto's, but not on a traditionally busy night for dining out. I much prefer the quiet, leisurely, quality dining experiences that I have had in the past."

"I was impressed by Roberto's in the past, but it's been a few years. While the service and atmosphere were fine, the food was unexciting and rather bland. I hope it was an off night."

"I have eaten here several times and each time the food has been fantastic. Roberto's gnocchi melt in your mouth and the gorgonzola sauce is perfect. I have had this dish in Italy and Roberto's far exceeds any that I have had prior to his! Three of us ate here this past Saturday and in addition to the gnocchi we had the pear/gorgonzola ravioli which were out of this world and also ravioli Roberto which were delicious. The service was perfect. Roberto and his wife Ann are so welcoming and friendly."

"Homemade pasta hit the spot. Very good pesto sauce. Salad was clean and fresh, and the herb vinaigrette was tasty. Asparagus was yummy.
The table was very small. There was a couple sitting at a 4-person table and five other 4-people tables that were not occupied. But we were smushed into a small two-seater.
The water person was no where to be seen. We got only one glass of water for our entire meal, never asked if we wanted refills."

"We started out as a table of four just getting together for a quiet night out. It quickly turned into a table of eight enjoying one of the best nights in a long time. A very patient waitstaff didn't feel the need to rush anyone, since there were new friends to meet and old friends to explain how we all knew each other. Our six degrees turned into a couple of 2 and 3 degrees. The food made the great night into a fabulous evening of trying the many different and interesting choices on Roberto's menu. I tasted 2 of the pasta dishes along with one of the best Veal Oscars I've had in a long time.Everyone from Roberto himself to Annie, to Tony (our waiter)made us feel like we were eating at home, and not a restaurant."

"We were pleasantly suprised by our first meal at Roberto's. We live in the neighborhood but had never tried it. Great selection of unique homemade pastas. Food and service were great. Nice family-run place with Mr. and Mrs. "Roberto" visting each table to check on us... Would return."

"My wife and I have been to here a few different time and every time we go there we love it more and more. The food was outstanding and had great seasonal specials. The service is always good with the waitstaff being very knowledgeable and respectful with the timings of the different courses. I would highly recommend this place and plan to go back as often as we can."
