Attraversiamo - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Brentwood, California

The hubby and I came here to celebrate our anniversary. It was our 2nd time here and it's nice to have a go to date spot in the area. Love that their menu is constantly changing as they outsource all their ingredients from local vendors in the area. So it's nice they offer different selections each time. Although, I would love to have their ribeye entree available all the time. This time around, we order the Stracciatella Cheese for starters and my husband ordered the fresh catch of the day which was scallops over risotto and I ordered the hanger steak. I also ordered the Margarita Fuego cocktail and that was so refreshing. I personally loved the stracciatella cheese. It had sugar snap peas, strawberries, basil, pickled ginger, balsamic, evoo with toasted bread. You think the ingredients would be weird together but it really blended well and tasted so good. As for my Hanger Steak, everything tasted delicious. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal and will definitely come back. read more

Great service, but the execution completely missed the mark. Won't be back. The service here was actually really good--the staff was attentive and friendly. Unfortunately, the bar and the kitchen just didn't deliver. My Gin & Tonic was a hazard; it was so completely overloaded with peppercorns that I felt like I was chewing my drink and had to spit them out after every sip. For food, the corn elote lacked balance, and the scallops--which arrived swimming in a soup instead of a puree--tasted noticeably off. The chicken parm was entirely forgettable. With these kinds of texture and flavor issues, there's just no attention to detail in the kitchen. Even with great service, we won't be returning. read more

I'm having a hard time leaving a bad review because we frequent this restaurant often, just like The Yard, and we've always had great experiences here--until today. I sat at the bar, ordered a couple of drinks, and placed two pasta orders to go. I was told it would take a little while, which was completely fine. About 20 minutes passed, and the tables around me that had arrived after I did started receiving their food--including the same dishes I had ordered. Still nothing for me. After 30 minutes, even more guests who arrived later were served while I continued to wait. In total, it took about 45 minutes to receive my food. What was most disappointing wasn't even the wait--it was the complete lack of acknowledgment. No apology, no update, no effort to make up for the delay. A simple "sorry for the wait" would have gone a long way. I spent over $110 and waited nearly an hour for a to-go order. As someone who has spent a lot of money at this restaurant over the years, it was frustrating and disappointing. Hopefully this was just an off day, but based on this experience, I'd think twice before ordering food to go again. read more

Had such a good time at this place! Their drinks were delicious; service was so attentive and friendly at the bar; and their truffle fries were one of the best I've had. I think their portions could have been better but I'd still go back to try their other menu items! read more

I enjoyed a nice dinner with friends here. This is my 4th time here, so this review is a culmination of all 4 visits. First lets talk about the service. This place is often busy, so shout out to the servers for making sure service flows smoothly in what can seem like a chaotic space, especially on a busy Friday night. The atmosphere in the restaurant is lively. LIKE, EXTREMELY LOUD lively. Unless you've reserved the private room, prepare for a yelling match if your with a group. Definitely had to drop off a star for this reason. The outdoor seating as the weather changes will help with this I presume. The food is always good, but I've yet to have something GREAT here. The burger is tasty, but I've had better for less $. Chicken Parm was good, but lacked seasoning, My friend said the roast was good, scallops got a 3.5 out of 5 from another friend. Dri ks were pretty good and strong so that's always a plus. All in all I'd give this place 3.5 stars if I could. Parking can be a pain on the weekends, but I'd definitely suggest trying this place for yourself. read more

Located in the Streets of Brentwood shopping center, this restaurant can be a bit tricky when it comes to parking. Especially on weekend evenings when the area gets busy. We made a reservation for a Saturday at 6:30pm and were seated right on time, so I'd definitely recommend booking ahead if you're planning to go during peak hours. Service was a highlight of the night. Our server was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu and specials without being overbearing. The drink menu offers a solid variety, and I went with the Attra Mule which is their take on a classic Moscow Mule. It was refreshing, well-balanced, and a great start to the meal. The food menu isn't overly large, which I actually appreciated, because it felt more focused. There were still plenty of appealing options. We kicked things off with the tater tots for our group of four, and it was more than enough to share. They were crispy, flavorful, and honestly a bit nostalgic in the best way. For my entrée, I ordered the chicken parmigiana with pasta, and it did not disappoint. The chicken was tender and flavorful with a nice crispy texture that held up well under the sauce. The pasta complemented the dish perfectly and rounded everything out. Overall, it was a great experience from start to finish. Good food, solid drinks, and excellent service. I'd definitely come back. read more

Attraversiamo is an upscale restaurant in the Streets of Brentwood open air shopping center. The service was very good. Our server was attentive, and explained the background of the ingredients used to prepare the meals on the menu. The ambiance is elegant. There is an open bar that serves cocktails and specialty drinks. The menu changes often, depending on the season and food sourced. The food served is quality, local sourced according to our server. Overall, we enjoyed our experience at Attraversiamo. We all felt that the food we ordered was very good, but a little pricy for what you get. The average cost for meat selections is $35+. That being said, I would recommend giving Attraversiamo a visit for special occasions like birthdays or anniversaries. Casual dining would be costly for most. read more

Saw this place on social media and wanted to give a try. It's a cute little spot on the corner in the streets of Brentwood. The drinks were really good! I ordered the Oaxaca on sunshine and my lady ordered the Prickly pear margarita. Delicious. For the appetizer we tried the aqua chile with strawberries. Wasn't sure about the strawberries but our server Antonio recommended it and he was not wrong. He also recommended our entree's and it was also on point. The hanger steak had ALOT of flavor and we subbed the potato au gratin for asparagus. The arugula that came with the dish had lemon on it and it couldn't have been tastier. I opted for the chicken gemelli due to Antonio's personal suggestion and that also was delicious. All the ingredients made it flavorful as I'm not a pasta person but I would order this again. Looking forward to coming back for the summer menu. read more

Brentwood treasure! We tried out this Italian restaurant located in a plaza in Brentwood for a quick early dinner! Since we're not too familiar with this restaurant, we just decided to try out 3 dishes we all shared. Corn pasta, bone marrow and Buratta! And we scored! Never had a corn pasta ever but it worked and it was delicious. It was tasty and unique mixed of pasta with corn. But will definitely try it again! The appetizers we ordered were delicious as well, bone marrow and Buratta melted cheese. It was so good we needed more bread! Overall it was a great find and will definitely recommend all that we ordered! You will be thankful! read more

Attra never disappoints. It's the best restaurant in Brentwood by far. Everything they make is a hit. We were sad to see the ribeye is no longer on the menu because it was literally to die for but it was replaced by another amazing dish - the Hanger Steak read more

2nd time at this restaurant and it did not dissapoint. Food was great during our first visit so we decided to go again as we heard that the menu items typically rotate ever season which is awesome. A great way to try new things from a restaurant that utilizes local ingredients. This time we decided to go with the ahi tuna crudo as our appetizer and the fresh catch (scallops/risotto at the time) and the crab mafaldine as our entrees. Ahi tuna was a great opener as it was fresh and light. It is a tad spicy though so keep that in mind when ordering. The scallops/risotto was beautiful to look at and it had a play of flavors that my wife was not used to. Still great and delicious but it took a bit for her to understand the flavor profile. The crab mafaldine was good but thought it was a bit light on the crab meat. Also wish there was a bit more smoked trout roe and lemon to help brighten the dish a little more but overall still tasty. We would definitely go back a 3rd time to see what the restaurant cooks up in their next season. Service was also attentive which was expected from the nice ambience. Good on them for actually knowing their menu items really well to a point where they can actually give suggestions based on what you are looking for. We were also in and out of the restaurant in under an hour so it was very efficient. read more

Came here for my husband's bday. First, they dont have high chair, or at least we were not offered one (maybe they did not have any so we did not make a fuss about it and did not care to ask as well) They came in strong with the drinks and starters. We were initially impressed UNTIL we were asked for the entrees and it took more than 30 minutes to arrive. We patiently waited, Jay our server was nice but not as attentive as the waiters at the other tables. At that point we started to feel like we were just ready to leave. With great consideration and patience, food came in after couple of follow ups. Hangersteak which was very chewy and fresh catch (scallops) which was super salty. We were saddened because we really want to love and support this local restaurant. I hope they see this review and improve on things where needed. read more

We are moving out of Brentwood and in celebration of the move, we decided to have our last dinner at Attraversiamo . Fitting ! As our first meal in Brentwood and after that all celebratory meals were always at this place. In fact we were here so often that most of the wait staff knew us by sight and name and also our likes. This place, for us, is like the Cheers bar of that serial, a place where we felt comfortable.and happy! It is an institution and though the owners also have the Vine+Grain and the Yard in Brentwood, we always leaned towards Attra! I cannot write enough about the food served here, it has always been fresh , farm to table and prepared exquisitely ! Everything from the smoked cocktails to their Ribeye ! And their Truffle fries are to die for!! The wait staff - Antonio, Devon and Jenna and Alex at the bar always made us feel welcome as old friends and took real care of us . And made us fall in love with smoked libations all over again. The photos cover all dishes we ordered and enjoyed this time around. This is what I feel is a perfect restaurant and we will cherish our memories here, forever! read more

Great food, perhaps on the more excessive side but it hasn't disappointed yet Very busy and noisy every time I've been and that's the only reason for deducting a star - seems that folk are a little crammed in to get the spaces to maximum I guess Very knowledgeable staff and love that they utilize items in season throughout the choice of dishes I like sitting outside of an evening - it's romantic and great for a date night with a cocktail read more

Attraversiamo - Enjoying a cocktail - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Brentwood, California

I have been living in Brentwood for almost five years, and I've always wanted to try this restaurant, but I never had the opportunity to do so. Now that I am preparing to move, I finally visited the restaurant last night, and I am so glad that I did. First, let me say that their food is truly farm-to-table, utilizing fresh ingredients from local Brentwood farms. Everything is made in-house, including their pasta, which is prepared fresh daily. Second, our waiter was exceptional. He was kind, attentive, personable, and demonstrated excellent customer service throughout our dining experience. Third, the ambiance is lovely. It's an intimate and well-designed space, and I hope that one day they are able to expand to accommodate more guests. Lastly, the food was outstanding. I ordered the mushroom fussili pasta (I may be spelling it incorrectly), which is a pasta dish with mushrooms and no meat. It was rich in flavor absolutely delicious. I enjoyed it at the restaurant, took the rest home, and continued enjoying it later. We also ordered the fries (Frites) with Parmesan as an appetizer, which were excellent. Their pomegranate bourbon cocktail was also remarkably good. My neighbor ordered the braised beef pasta and she thoroughly enjoyed her dish as well. Note: The menu changes as they use farm fresh ingredients read more

As excited as I was to try this restaurant, it did not reach my expectations. I am hopeful that we just went on a bad day and plan to return sometime in the summer. I went on a Friday night with my sister and mom for an Early Mother's Day dinner. It's a beautiful, open interior. Our reservation was at 7pm & we were seated at around 7:08pm. Service was great! It took quite a bit of time for our food to get to us. We ordered appetizers first then our main courses. We also noticed a table of 4 who were seated way before us receive their food about 30 minutes after we received our main course. Appetizers Spring Ricotta (to share): Delicious! Definitely recommend. Ricotta & the cherry compote = match made in heaven. No issues there. Truffle Fries (to share): I love shoestring fries! Crisp was great. Couldn't taste the truffle but we didn't mind. Main Course Chicken Gemelli (my order): Pasta was cooked al dente - which I love. Definitely order this if you're a spice lover. I thought the chilis were very overpowering and didn't enjoy it. I'll definitely order the Chicken Parmigiana next time. Scampi Verde (mom's order): My mom loved this dish. She had no issues. Pasta was al dente & the sauce was light. Matched well with the shrimp and mussels. She finished the whole plate (which is fairly rare for her). Pasta Al Limone (my sister's order): The sauce tasted very watered down. Instead of a bright lemon-y taste, it was dull and almost bitter. The ingredients of the dish did not feel cohesive. Drinks Berry Delight - mocktail style (my drink): There was a lot of mint in my drink. It was okay, though unsure what I was expecting. Oaxacan on Sunshine - mocktail style (mom's drink): We ordered this for her because she loves pineapple. She enjoyed it. No issues. Poetry in Motion (sister's drink): No issues. She tried it after a recommendation from our server. *Tip: you can order any of their alcoholic drinks as a mocktail which was a nice touch. read more

Yummy appetizer and Great Cocktails! What a great find! Post showcase we were tired n hungry but wanted some good Cocktails to celebrate! Luckily found this place.. oh yeah google maps has you parking around the corner near barnes and nobles but it's close to park near Victoria Secret (next door) on the opposite side of the building. Anyway, we place was pack on a Sunday evening good sign so we sat at the bar. Greeted friendly service Ordered a variety of cocktails and they were spot on to what the bartender recommended. I had the special Cherry Mule which was an amazing combo of cherry n ginger! Not too sweet and refreshing! My second drink was their old fashion (smoked to perfection) one of the better old fashion I've had and I usually order this everywhere (my fave is in NYC). My friends had the pretty n pink and sazerack which they both enjoyed. Food we had the tator tots with truffle.. nice and crispy with a touch of truffle flavor. I had the hamburger with truffle fries .. hamburger had a great char and so yummy. Highly recommend open seating with modern italian feel. read more

The only way I could describe our experience, "perfect in every way." I met a few friends here for dinner on a Saturday night (must have reservations). We ordered different cocktails and entrees and pretty much stayed till close. There was no need for boxes because we all made sure to clean our plates! We ordered the Miso Mushroom Mafaldine (by far my favorite), short rib tagliatelle, braised beef, and the attra burger. You couldn't go wrong with any of them but the Miso Mushroom was so good in every way, flavorful, savory, and there was no skimping on the mushrooms! Highly recommend this in every way. Great vibes, great service, great food, and even better times!!! read more

I can't believe it took me this long to finally try this place! I've been living in the area for a while and have driven by many times, always meaning to stop in. Now I'm honestly wishing I had come here much sooner. From the moment we walked in, everything was on point. We showed up around 6 PM on a Friday night and were pleasantly surprised to get a table immediately. The hostess was friendly and accommodating. The vibe inside is awesome -- great ambiance with a lively local energy that makes you feel right at home. The service was excellent. Our server, Dave, was fantastic -- friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. And the food... incredible. The braised beef was absolutely fantastic -- rich, tender, and full of flavor. The chicken Parmesan was also very good and clearly made with care. Overall, an amazing experience with great food, great service, and a great atmosphere. Highly recommended. We will definitely be back! read more

The menu has a great selection of fresh Italian dishes, and everything we ordered was cooked perfectly and full of flavor.

Food was excellent and the service was outstanding. We even tipped the cook! Great ambiance!

I can't say enough about this place. The food is phenomenal. I love the farm to table menu changing every season. The cocktails are amazing and the service is top notch. There's no question you have to eat here read more

Cornered the charming streets of Brentwood, Attraversiamo is the perfect spot to unwind after a day of shopping or catching a movie. The location alone makes it a go-to, but what really draws you in is the vibe. Relaxed yet lively, with a menu that evolves with the seasons and a welcoming staff that makes you feel right at home. We came in an hour before closing and the place was still buzzing, a sign of its growing popularity. The outdoor seating was a great touch. Ideal for people-watching or just soaking in that SoCal breeze. Appetizer Round-Up: Roasted Bone Marrow - Served with parsley salad and toasted bread Visually, it was well plated. The marrow was rich and juicy, the bread perfectly buttered and crunchy, and the parsley salad added a nice brightness. However, it felt like it needed a touch more flavor to really pop. 7.5/10 Knoll Farm Fig Ricotta - Whipped ricotta, farm figs, hot honey, pistachios, oregano, and toasted bread This was the showstopper. A perfect balance of creamy, sweet, nutty, and herby. The whipped ricotta with the fresh figs and that warm drizzle of hot honey... unreal. Easily a new favorite. 10/10 Truffle Fries - Truffle, parmesan, chives Crisped to perfection. The flavor combo was bold but not overpowering. These are dangerously good and definitely a must-order. The kind of fries you think about later. 10/10 Main: Brentwood Corn Mafaldine - Housemade mafaldine, G&S corn, lardons, Fresno chili, tarragon, chili oil The pasta had that fresh, handmade texture and was luxuriously creamy. The sweetness of the corn paired beautifully with the savory lardons and subtle heat from the chili. I personally like my pasta a bit saltier, but that's just the carbonara-lover in me talking. Attraversiamo delivers on all fronts. Ambience, creativity, and flavor. The seasonal menu keeps things fresh, and while a couple dishes could use minor tweaks, the overall experience is a strong win. Whether you're a local or just passing through Brentwood, this spot deserves a visit. Cheesecake with Crème Brûlée Top and Apricot Jam Creative twist! The brûlée shell was phenomenal. Crackly, caramelized perfection. The cheesecake underneath was rich without being heavy. The apricot jam wasn't my favorite part, but that might just be personal preference. 9/10 Rating: 9/10 - Will definitely return. read more

What's not to love? The ambiance and thoughtful menu selection here is top tier. Wishing there were more places here like attra this is always our go to, especially when we have out of town friends coming in for the day.. the service from the host to the server to the kitchen (which you can see quite clearly from most seats) is superb! The rotating menu is always great because we never get the same thing! The cocktails are excellent and always made to perfection. Whether you're sitting in the bar or main dining room or even renting out that cute floor to ceiling window room, you will not be disappointed! read more

The drinks were great as always, I ordered the fresh catch which was scallops and risotto for $45- the scallops were great but the risotto had a very unpleasant after taste of oil and lemon, the also put strawberries on top which was insane, would not recommend this dish. We previously had the 12oz cowboy ribeye which they have now changed to a hanger steak that is maybe 6oz for the same price! It was super disappointing especially because they do not indicate the size with the price being the same. Meal was very average. read more

Wanted a nice dinner and haven't been back to Attra for sometime. Food was flavorful and the drinks were good. The best thing of the night was the cheesecake with fresh cherry compote. What I like about this place is they use seasonal ingredients and change their menu accordingly. All of their seasonal ingredients come from local farms. Our service was great and attentive. Only thing was my pork chop came out a little too pink for me so, I asked to have it cooked a little more. I hate to be one of those people but the staff accommodated and were nice about it. This restaurant is a loud so, if you're looking for a quiet dinner this wouldn't be the place. read more

This was a cute little restaurant tucked in the Streets of Brentwood. We've come to this area a number of times and never even noticed it. The concept is cute. It was explained that most of the dishes are curated around what the local farmers have to provide. Love a farm to table. But with that said the hostess explained that the menu changes quite often with the exception of a few staples. Fiancé and I had date night and enjoyed ourselves. I can't remember exactly what drink I had but it was ok, and same with my fiancé. I believe he had the fuego margarita (again not sure but it had chunks of peppers in it) it was ok As an appetizer we ordered the burrata on naan, which was pretty tasty For dinner I had the duck confit in gemelli pasta. I had never had duck before so this probably wasn't the best way to experience duck. It wasn't bad just a little bland. My fiancé had the grilled pork chop with pureed squash and it was exceptional. (Pork chops are never really my first pick) I would go back and have this multiple times over. It was even better the next day reheated It was a good time, I'd love to go back and try everything else. read more
