Trattoria Dionisia

Thank you for having us at Christmas Eve Dinner. Great place, tasty food, hot food, all of the favorites, and more! The staff was great. They were friendly and were helpful. The restaurant was really pretty and cozy. I only took off one star because I really love my table bread heated a little.

Let me start by saying, we will definitely go back! The restaurant is lovely - just love the look and feel of it. The staff is very nice. The wine was great! Our appetizer and desserts were great! Our meals were, just ok. I'm gluten free and I knew they would be very accommodating. I was told my meal was taking 5 minutes longer than the other meals and that the other meals were getting cold. I suggested they bring out the other meals - they were already lukewarm at best. They started eating while I remained waiting. I ordered chicken marsala and it was not good; the chicken was overcooked, the pasta was undercooked, and there was no marsala taste at all. There was also cheese on one chicken slice so I'm not sure where that came from. They offered a free dessert for the wait - I do hope nex

Got to the restaurant at 5:30. Told we could only sit at the bar because every table was booked. Turned out to be true. No issue. 2 servers were not enough to cover a full restaurant. Needed a food runner who could deliver the food and refill drinks. Service suffered because they were constantly in the weeds. It was very obvious some of the patrons were regulars because they received better service and more face time with the servers. The food is where there is a big problem. I’m a white guy from Texas and I can make better aronchini. The word we decided to describe them was “stodgy”. Dense, under seasoned, and a crust that was pale. The fried zucchini and calamari was mid, with the calamari itself being tender. But the entrees? Both pasta plates came out lukewarm. The torteloni with peas

Absolutely delicious. My husband isn’t big on Italian and thought it was amazing! The owner is the chef and it’s the best Italian I’ve had in a very long time.

Daughter asked if we could go to this restaurant to celebrate, Husband and I have dined here before so, why not. This time around the experience-- food-- was very different and disappointing. 1st the pros though. Our waitress and the entire dining room staff amazing and very friendly. Atmosphere still very charming. We ordered carpaccio and fried zucchine/calamari, my kids devoured and said it was the best they have had. Son had the Margherita and it was good. The disappointing cons- daughter and husband had chicken Alfredo. Husband said it was really bland compared to the 1st time he had it during our date night. Daughter tells me in Italian "mamma, la pasta ed il pollo non hanno sale", because she did not want to upset any workers, pretty much pasta amd the chicken are without salt. I o
