Reviews for Trattoria Burnaby in Burnaby, BC
Average service and food at best. We were seated in an extremely dark area of the restaurant even though there were other... tables available. My pasta was overcooked and not al dente. I found the meatballs salty. The server knocked my bag off mychair as he was walking around us. We waited waaaay too long for our tiramisu. Multiple servers bugged us about a plate thatwe were slow to finish as we were having a conversation. Not recommended. Read more
The place was amazing we chose to sit outdoors and they helped adjust the umbrellas so the sun was not in our face. The staff... was wonderful, our waitress kept refilling our water and checking if we liked the food, she also gave us some (vegetarian)recommendations , and we loved everything we tried. We were a group of 3. For starter we had Bruschetta? then we had aMargherita Pizza and Linguini Alfredo Pasta, for dessert we ordered Tiramisu and Zeppole Al Cioccolato (4 warm donuts stuffedwith choloate) we also had one bottle of sparkling water. Our bill was less than 70 CAD. I will definitely be coming again andbringing friends and family. I only remembered to take pictures when the food was half gone ???? I strongly recommend thisplace.

I have been to Trattoria several times and have noticed that the service is not always the greatest. I waited 20 minutes for... someone to acknowledge us and no one did. I then flagged down the manager (it seemed that he was the manager because he was notdressed like a server). I asked the server if he would be able to take our order and he kindly did. The manager was able tobring us our drinks and food in a timely manner. The server attended to us after the fact, but at that point we were almostready to leave. I understand that restaurants get busy sometimes but 20 minutes is a long time to wait to be served. The foodwas delicious though. We came on Tratt Tuesday for their $16 pastas and were not disappointed by the food at all. Read more
Ordered the short ribs & pasta , food was relatively good (small portion IMO for $25) The mushrooms were extremely tasty We... had a table of about 20 people & only 1 server she did exceptionally well considering she was alone. However it was taking 30mins + to get drinks We had the same party previous weekend at another restaurant (across the street) they maintained everythingwith 2 servers. I’d probably go here again but never with a large party. Read more
I recommend you make dinner reservations especially if it’s close to the weekend. We missed the happy hour which is from 2 –... 5 pm or from 9 pm til closing. They have a good selection on the menu. The best value was the 3 type of platter dishes – 1)Antipasto – enough for 2 to 3 people 2) Pasta platter – looked delish but no one wanted to share with me 3) Carne platter. Isaw other tables ordering the antipasto platter so we did the same. Our other diner had the braised lamb with risotto. The meatwas cooked to perfection (the meat fell off the bone) as promised by our server. Another diner had a popular spaghetti andmeatballs in truffle cream. There was something about the meatballs that wasn’t wowing. Service was great especially askingthe server for recommendations. If you can’t choose, ask your server. The challenge is parking. There is no free parking.They’re located on the busy intersection on the northeast corner of Willingdon and Kingsway. Not far from Metrotown Mall. Read more
Trattoria is definitely worth a try on a Tuesday, which is when their pastas are $16. On any other day, it would not be worth it... to pay above $20 for their pasta dishes. Otherwise, the portions are not bad and the Spaghetti and Signature Meatballs withtruffle cream sauce and Short Rib Pappardelle were the highlights of our dinner. Read more
Not many people for dinner. I feel their brunch is better. We ordered two kinds of platters. Food is a bit salty. Paid $4 for 2... hours underground parking. In pandemic, you want to stay as much time as you can to meeting with friends & family. If therestaurant could offer free parking, I think it'll be more popular. Read more
Would recommend going in a Tuesday night for the $16 pasta special. Nice venue and great service. Food was pretty good, I really... liked the doughnut dessert. Read more
