Brown's Addition has become quite hip and Italia Trattoria might be the best Italian joint in Spokane. The minimalist decor allows the food and service to take center stage. The menu is authentic Italian with a modern twist. Great cocktails too. read more

Cozy. Delicious. & Elite service. Location was tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. Every dish created with care. Great way to end your day or celebrate an occasion. Definitely make reservations read more

I ordered the meatball appetize, which resembled hoagie rolls, not bruschetta, with gisn't meatballs and marina. The lemon pasta literally tastes like creamed corn. I've worked at a lot of restaurants and this one certainly did not live up to the hype. Respectfully-I make better food at home. it was very disappointing considering their claims of authetic Italian. The drinks were ok and the waiters were great. read more

I had dinner at Italia Trattoria on a Friday night and was glad we arrived early. We got seated right away without a reservation, but the place filled up fast. Parking is street parking only, and it gets tight once the restaurant gets busy. The atmosphere started out quiet but quickly turned lively as the night went on. The space feels clean, cozy, and homey, a good mix of casual and upscale without feeling stuffy. Service was excellent. We were greeted and seated right away. Our server was friendly, professional, and perfectly timed, attentive without hovering or rushing us. For food, I ordered the Brussels sprouts with jalapeno, ham, and parmesan, also had the butternut squash agnolotti with sage butter. The agnolotti was well made and rich, though a touch on the sweet side for my taste. The Brussels sprouts were fine, but the mild jalapenos caught me off guard. My friend had the chicory salad and really enjoyed it. In hindsight, I wished I had gone with something a little lighter too. Overall, it was a good meal with warm service and a comfortable atmosphere. I would go back, but next time I would explore another item on the menu. read more

Every bite from this dinner is still living rent-free in my head. That focaccia? Fluffy perfection. The octopus salad? Bright, refreshing, and full of flavor. The rosé? Summer in a glass. Fabulous service. I love that open-air GarageDoor atmosphere. What I Ordered at Italia Trattoria: * Focaccia Bread with olive oil & balsamic * Charred Octopus Salad - citrus, fennel, herbs (would 100% order again) * Panzanella Salad - heirloom tomatoes, focaccia croutons, shaved parmesan * Gnocchi alla Sorrentina - tender potato gnocchi in rich tomato sauce * Spaghetti & Meatballs - classic comfort done right * Grilled Lamb Tongue - with tzatziki, heirloom tomato, and olives * Tiramisu - whipped, airy, chocolate-dusted perfection. * La Jolie Fleur Rosé (2022) - light, elegant, and summery * Lucien Albrecht Crémant Rosé - crisp, floral, and beautifully chilled Their menu is a gem for adventurous food lovers -- think boar, lamb tongue, and octopus done right. Unexpected cuts, unforgettable flavor. read more

Very cozy Italian spot! Classic cocktails were great (loved the Bees Knees) and staff was friendly and efficient. Ordered the lamb ragu and the fresh pasta was amazing, but although the meat was tender it tasted more like pot roast than lamb. Did however enjoy the spicy squid ink pasta and the goat cheese ravioli much more. Fried misto and charred octopus were fresh and flavorful apps. read more

My best friend and I are so glad that we got to get a couple of seats at the bar during dinner rush! But probably pro tip ... get reservations ... because this place was busy on a Saturday night. Even with the business, the staff from the friendly host to the amazing owner Beth to our waitress Mayra we received such a warm welcome. Have you ever felt that a restaurant was where you needed to be that night? Well Italia Tratorria was that for us! It was a warm and cozy spot that you can tell had both locals and tourists alike. And the food did not disappoint. The Italia Caesar Salad we had was perfectly dressed but the star was the anchovies as it added UMAMI! Find you a bff that is willing to switch plates halfway through the meal so you can enjoy two entrees vs 1. The broth or would you call it sauce to the squid ink was great! They definitely did not skimp out on the shrimp and squid. Pasta was flavorful and perfectly cooked. The wild boar was a different entree where I would have not been able to tell it was boar. It was deep in flavor. Though we were full we saved room for dessert. The tiramisu was calling our name. The crème was light and not overpoweringly sweet. The coffee flavor came out through nicely. And I am sucker for affogato and their espresso was nice with the ice cream. Food. Amazing. Ambiance. Fantastic. The people ... top notch! What's cool to sit at the bar was to see how the entire staff did everything. Not only did they take your orders but they were whipping up the drinks. Then serving the food and busting tables. They definitely were well choreographed. Definitely a place to come back to! read more

Fantastic food and a great setting! I love how Chef Philip is making the menu his own while retaining the best that Italia has always been!! read more

It was okay. 3 stars because the cocktails were delicious, and the presentations are very nice. But they have the smallest menu I've ever seen. And everything on the menu is weird. I'm fine with the weird things but an Italian place that has no basic pasta with sauce is insane. Everything is extremely overpriced. Not to mention the menu says if you have a party of over 6 they will add a 20% charge on the bill. And you can't walk in you have to make reservation. The service wasn't that great either the waitress was alright but definitely not making the price of everything worth it. And the food I chose wasn't very flavorful it was watered down. The building is also tiny and dirty. It looks unfinished and like they would have rats. read more

I really wanted to enjoy this place, but my experience with both the food and the management was incredibly disappointing. We came in specifically craving Italian pasta, but our server heavily steered us away from the pasta options and pushed the meat entrees instead. Trusting her recommendation, I ordered the Quail ($40). Unfortunately, the bird was incredibly dry, poorly executed, and absolutely not worth the price. The most alarming part of the experience, however, came after I left a review detailing our disappointing dinner. The owner responded online and, while admitting we had a "terrible dinner" and apologizing for the food, immediately pivoted to personal insults. In a public forum, the owner accused me of posting "blatant lies" and "snarky untruths," and claimed I was acting out of "ignorance" simply for sharing my negative experience. It is incredibly jarring to receive an apology for a bad meal, only to be verbally attacked in the very next sentence. A dry $40 entree is a mistake, but a business owner publicly lashing out and insulting paying customers who leave honest feedback is a massive red flag. Diners should be aware of how this establishment treats its patrons when their service falls short. read more

Went to brunch w our son a senior at Gonzaga a few weeks before graduation. Trying to do all the things he wanted us to do before leaving. Brunch options were excellent. I got the Chanterelle Toast. Eggs poached perfectly. My son had the Miss Piggy Sandwich which isn't your typical pulled pork sandwich. More like an Italian beef sandwich that my mother used to make. Delicious. Staff was friendly and reservations were easy to make online. read more

It was okay. Just okay. Server was very nice, nice setting. For those prices I feel as though the tables/chair could be a little nicer/more comfortable. (Sat outside) I had the gnocchi....it just didn't taste like anything. I could see all the seasoning in it so it was surprising to have it be so bland. The foccacia was good. read more

Great food. Service.. meh. My husband got the steak. Very impressed. I had the seared octopus. Took me back to my trip to the Amalfi coast. Great! Service left a lot to be desired. Overall not worth the price we paid. read more

Never disappointed by the food here. Everything prepared perfectly. Just delicious and highest quality every time!

The food was mediocre and way over priced. Ordered the spaghetti and meatballs. Dry and tasteless. Atmosphere could use improvements. It was loud and cold. Would not recommend. Menu on website is not the menu in house. Deceiving! read more

My friend and I tried Italia Trattoria Spokane tonight. We had reservations, which I would highly recommend. The place isn't large and the draw is huge. We tried Pomegranate Bellini's, Chicken Piccata, and Kurobuta Pork Chop. We were far too full to look at desserts. Everything was delicious and we would definitely come here again. read more

Had a wonderful meal with bro and sis inlaws from Seattle. They enjoyed it all. Yummy spinach ricotta appetizer, got to get the forcoccia bread service to mop up the sauce. Panzella salad, lamb ragu , polenta lasagna and copper River special. Delightful. Peach cobbler for dessert. Excellent service as always. If you haven't experienced this restaurant you are missing out. read more

We chose this location because it had a high star rating and had high expectations. It was just average so a bit disappointing. We did not have a reservation as it was a last minute decision to eat here . Looked like an elegant/chic atmosphere. Restaurant was about half full but they would only seat us outside on their patio since we didn't have a reservation , which was very bare bones and on the cool side due to weather. Not at all pleasant. They were still only half full when we left so not sure why we couldn't sit inside . Food menu looks interesting but sounds better than it tastes. Polenta Lasagna was average. Not a horrible place . Just average. read more

Our Sunday breakfast was delightful! Make sure you book a reservation. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating, however, it is a small space. This place is both relaxed and full of Italian charm! Our waitress was wonderful and had great recommendations. You can definitely tell the food is fresh and they take pride in their dishes by using quality ingredients. We started with the tiramisu coffee! The presentation was so cute! The Italian breakfast was cooked perfectly and the Italian sausage had plenty of flavor. The baked eggs were amazing! Loved the poached eggs and the sauce was savory! I ordered the peaches and cream turnover due to our waitress's recommendation and so glad I did. The pastry was light and so flaky! The cream and peaches filling gave it the perfect sweetness. The zeppole doughnuts were also light and sponge like! The maple cream was creamy yet airy with a well balanced flavor. Finished my breakfast with a refreshing aperol spritz. I wish we would have had more time for a second visit to try their dinner. read more

Food is good but IMO overpriced. Staff very friendly and casual! If you look at my other reviews you will see that is I am ok with paying for quality food. But I think there needs to be value. IMO I don't see the value for the price here. James Beard semi finalist, or not...you get what you pay for. I think IT is overpriced. read more

This is a wonderful local Italian restaurant featuring more of the Northern Italian cuisine as apposed to a pasta house. This seems to be a confusing issue for some of the commenters. I am not sure what Rita's deal is. She seems to just keep posting reviews about a restaurant she doesn't like. She already said she would never come back and then here she is leaving another bad review. Don't be a Rita. Go to places the you like, and not to places you don't. Don't get mad at a steak house because they don't serve Tofu. I sure hope next time I am lucky enough to dine with Italia Rita is nowhere to be seen! read more

We went here for a business dinner and I think we were all quite pleased. Ambience: it was way too dark and the music was way too loud. We could barely have conversation with each other, we definitely couldn't hear our waitress read off the specials. Between the music and her whisper we all just got every third word, if that. It was so dark that I couldn't see what exactly I was eating. Good news: whatever I was eating was good. We got multiple appetizers and entrees and all the food had good flavor and was cooked well. It was a good visit and I'm glad we gave it a try! I might try this place again - in the daylight. Maybe in the summer when they can open the large doors or we could sit outside. read more

Lamb dish Steak meal And Pasta meal was all served. My family and I were so pleased with not only the service with a smile but the food was sooo delicious!!!

How did I never leave a review for this wonderful Italian eatery? I love their food, drinks, service, and ambiance, and we've been fans for years! We've gone for celebrating, like our anniversary, and for a plain night when we happened to be in Spokane; every time, we've enjoyed ourselves from start to finish, and it's very quality Italian. There's always something creative on the menu, and we like to get a mess of small plates sometimes to try the new flavors. Other times, we'll hoard our own entrees. The servers are always informed on the wines, we've had some excellent pairing recommendations; the bar makes such tasty scratch cocktails, it's hard to pick between them and the wine. Definitely check them out. read more

Great brunch! I've never had a kouign-amann before, but once I learned it translates to "cake" and "butter", I knew I needed to try it! It's perfectly buttery, flaky (though not as much as a croissant), and sweet. The fisherman's gratin had scallops, smoked salmon, halibut, and poached eggs immersed in a cream sauce with parmesan topped with bread crumbs. Chef Anna and her team never cease to amaze me with their culinary talent! read more

I came in with my girlfriend for her birthday and her parents who traveled up here from Florida. Called and made a reservation. Got seated and took a good 15 minutes before anyone came over to us. And when they did we had a long dark haired ponytail waitress who was extremely rude right off the bat. My girlfriend had a question about their spaghetti and meatballs since their menu says all pasta is made in house, but the spaghetti isn't, so she asked if she could have it substituted, and the waitress gave a very snarky answer. So my girlfriend decided to just split my fish of the day of which we didn't want to pay the $3 charge just to have it put on two plates, and she rolled her eyes took our menus and walked away. She comes back five minutes later and proceeded to remove all of the bread plates we already had on the table and put my silverware directly on the table. Of which my girlfriends mother who works in the health industry said that's not ok and asked her to bring me new silverware since she placed it directly on a table, since I had my napkin in my lap. She then comes back with major attitude and sets a new silverware in front of me very aggressively and brought us out bread plates again. Like you took our plates away and then gave us them back a few minutes later? This undoubtedly made my girlfriend, her parents, and myself very uncomfortable to the point we decided to just leave after we had already ordered. We left with my girlfriend crying on her birthday thanks to their waitress who clearly had a stick up her you know what. We have been here once before but we will never be back after this experience. We left and went to sorella and instantly had a better experience with a much kinder waiter. That long dark haired ponytail waitress should not be working in service if such a minimal question ruined her day that much she treats her customers like crap. Did we not order enough food or drinks for you lady so we weren't worth you time since our tip wouldn't be high enough? Now you get nothing and will never get anything, WE WILL NEVER BE BACK!

Finally dropped in on this wonderful restaurant last night. The owner seated and bantered with us in the cozy, intimate dining area. We ordered the pork pate appetizer and it was delightful. Our main courses were the rockfish special and lamb ragu. Both were delicious. Our desserts were tiramisu and pear bread pudding, which were wonderful. Everything about the atmosphere and presentation was superb. We love Italian cuisine and have dined both here and abroad.

Fabulous! Loved the service and the food. We had the nightly special of Copper River Salmon, served over roasted small potatoes, asparagus spears, with corn relish. Delicious. Super service from greeting at the door to our server, Cassidy. Cappuccino and Afogato for dessert and still more awesome service. It's in Browns Addition of Spokane so it makes parking somewhat iffy at times, this is a busy dining area. There is plenty of inside seating and a small patio area. Casual dress. Make reservations. Please note, there is a 3% service charge which goes to the back of the house (chef/cooks). Well worth what you get. We will definitely be returning to this lovely small business. Keep up the good job everyone! read more

PSA: If you are vegan, go to a vegan restaurant or call the restaurant before going there to ask if they have vegan options; stop going to restaurants expecting them to bend over backward fir you. You cannot give a good restaurant a one-star review simply because you did not do your homework. Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely restaurant in Spokane. The restaurant is located in a neighborhood which gives it a homey vibe, unlike all the restaurants downtown. We started the night with some bread which was not any different from other bread I've had before; however, it was very fresh and delicious. We then had a salad which was exceptionally delicious and fresh. You can tell that the veggies were very well cared for in the kitchen. This place is great! Atmosphere is chill and cool but the staff is also really friendly. They know what they're doing and what they're talking about, and you can tell making the customers happy is their main priority. Food is pretty good, some italian classics and some twists, and for their prices it's 100% worth it. They also have a great wine selection. read more

Truly some of the best Italian food I have ever had! Drinks, food, dessert- ALL AMAZING

If you are looking for an authentic Italian restaurant this is not your place. I went in because I was craving pasta and sauce. There was only one dish on the entire menu that met the description.. I was very disappointed. They wouldn't allow me to change the dishes. I was by myself and sat at the bar so I just paid for my drink and left. read more

Overall a spectacular dining experience. Food was phenomenal, service was exceptional. Well worth the $$. I'm usually putoff by being seated at the bar since I am usually a lone diner. However I sat at the far right seat and got to see the kitchen staff do their thing. It was amazing. This place is a MUST visit. read more

Took a few friends to brunch this weekend after hearing that this is THE spot for breakfast in Spokane and I was extremely impressed. The restaurant itself is located in quaint Brownes Addition and has great indoor and outdoor seating options. Our server was attentive and checked in regularly, anticipating our needs with a smile - she was lovely! I had an omelette and Bloody Mary while my two friends had the farmers breakfast with an aperol spritz...we loved everything! The portions were perfect, the breakfast potatoes as a side were thick and crispy, and the drinks were tasty. Italia Trattoria, in addition to their brunch menu, has day of house-made pastries that are served warm. I highly recommend grabbing one before they sell out (which will, no doubt). The cream cheese danish we shared was buttery, light and creamy! We will be returning and recommending to friends! :) read more
