Trattoria / A
trattoria is an
Italian-style eating establishment, less formal than a
ristorante, but more formal than an
osteria. There are generally no printed menus, the service is casual, wine is sold by the
decanter rather than the bottle, prices are low, and the emphasis is on a steady clientele rather than on
haute cuisine.
The food is modest but plentiful (mostly following regional and local
recipes) and in some instances is even served family-style (i.e. at
common tables).

Julia was perhaps one of the only Boston elite who greeted the recent influx of Italian immigrants with anticipation, in hopes that the otherwise derelict South End might soon be awash with little trattorias, not that Chev would probably ever take her there. " What Is Visible by Kimberly Elkins
