Trattoria Sbandati

Had a beautiful night here for my birthday and a phenomenal meal! Everyone was very friendly and super attentive as well as all the food was cooked to perfection. I don't understand when I see people complain down below on their reviews because my experience was blow away and my grandfather gave me his strong Roman Italian genes, as well as I grew up on the East coast so I actually know what REAL Italian tastes like and this is it! Just updating because I went back again tonight and it was just as good as the last time!

The food was above par, absolutely spectacular. Our server Kristen is the best. She has been the only server we have had, coincidently, when dining here and she is a master of her craft! So kind, so knowledgeable of the menu. Quite honestly one of the big reasons we return. Love the food, love Kristen. Can’t wait for our next visit!

The food was very very good, and our server was great, but I was extremely disappointed and confused with one aspect of it. I got the Polpette meatballs, which came on a bed of delicious red sauce and absolutely covered in cheese. Great combination, great ratios. I couldn't finish and an employee offered to box the remainder for me. I was given back nothing but the single dry meatball, which seemed to have had all the sauce and cheese intentionally scraped off :( No complaints about the food but I have no idea what the employee who did that was thinking

Italian restaurants can be so hit or miss that we rarely go out for Italian - as in I think we have been out for Italian food maybe 4 times in the last 5 years, including this dinner. I am a very particular person when it comes to dining out - we have been in the food service industry basically forever, so we have high expectations when we go out for a nice meal. I made a reservation for my fiancés birthday and was a little nervous based on the mixed reviews here, but I took a risk! We are so thrilled that we took the leap with this one! The tagliatelle with mushrooms and the filet entree special were both fantastic - I would eat this every day if I could (I would be as big as a house, but that’s irrelevant here 😂)! The pasta was, and I don’t use this word often when describing food - especially pasta, perfectly cooked, the texture was perfect - it’s right up there with some really nice Italian places in New York (better than 1 of them) - seriously, it is. The server was nice and friendly. I didn’t use the bathroom, so I can’t speak to that as others have. The 2 things I would suggest would be to have better by the glass wine options, the reds specifically. They aren’t terrible, but at the same time, they are not exciting and they could be soooo much better. Also, please update the menu on the website. People - do yourselves a favor and go eat some pasta and steak! 😋 I can’t wait to go back for our next date night!

No photos, we inhaled the food! Authentic recipes, quality ingredients and unparalleled service. Allergy friendly with gluten-free and nondairy items. Don’t let the modest appearance fool you, this is the real thing. 🇮🇹 You do not have to order multiple courses.Great wine menu and excellent location, too. Make a reservation, they fill up fast and will not seat you. If you’re with a large group, come early for a wine tasting next door. We will tell all our friends. 🍷
