La Trattoria Restaurant

La Trat is our favorite Italian restaurant in key west!! I usually sit in the back bar at Virgilio's, but sometimes we'll dine inside when Virgilio's is too crowded and we really want pasta. I love how you can order half portions of the pasta for half the price if you are half hungry. It's my husband's favorite Bolognese on the island. It's both our favorites chicken marsala anywhere we've ever had in our life! Seriously, try the marsala It's ridiculously amazing. I also love the Gorgonzola gnocchi, the Romana pasta, and the Norma pasta. But I always get my Norma with penne instead :) Also, the Caesar salad is one of the best on the island, They actually give you real anchovies! The cannelloni is also delicious. For dessert, they have the best tiramisu that my husband or I have ever eaten! It's so perfectly light and fluffy and melts in your mouth. It's the same amazing martini menu as at the back bar, but in bigger martini glasses without the sidecar. During busy season, there can be a wait, but hang tight it's worth it. There's also another location near the airport, which is much bigger. I find it equally as good.
