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). Wikipedia


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.
