The food was excellent, as well as the beef carpaccio. Service was fast, and the sangria and dessert was good too.
We were craving some Italian food and La Trattoria's menu looked delicious. I didn't check out any pics of the place so I was so excited to see that it was a restaurant on the second floor with balcony seating! Yay! We were initially seated at a table in the dining room, but after requesting a table on one of the balconies, we were moved as soon as one became available. We really enjoyed the people watching, especially since the Callejoneadas meet and start their tour right below. So fun! We ordered a bottle of wine and a couple of soups (I got the tomato cream and he got the minestrone) and both were delicious! They also provide bread with the most delicious butter I have ever had in my entire life. I'm serious. I wanted to throw this stuff in my purse and take it home with me! For dinner, he got the filet medallions in gorgonzola sauce and I got the spaghetti carbonara. Both were AMAZING. The menu is really big, so you're bound to find something that you'll love! Service was perfection, vibes were perfection, views were perfection, wine was perfection, food was perfection... you get the point! Just go already!
Following a frustrating car hire ride to a new city I required food and drink stat. My hotel concierge was happy to point me to La Trattoria, about a 20 second walk away, on Jardin de la Union. The best seats in the house - and the only ones worth inhabiting (IMO) - are those on the small balconies lining the second floor restaurant As soon as one opened up my server asked if I'd like to relocate and it immediately turned my frown upside down. A seat on La Trattoria's balcony gives you an ideal view of everything going on in the plaza below, the busiest of all plazas in Guanajuato. I shot a quick photo from this vantage point and sent it to my brother who immediately responded; he knew exactly where I was. Service was excellent, the wine flowed, and my starter - a Marlin Taco - was delicious. The main courses, a Pasta Puttanesca and a Pasta Carbonara, were good but suffered the same problem as I experienced elsewhere in town: They'd have been 98% more enjoyable had they been served steaming hot. Maybe request as much when you order your entree here. Even a tepid pasta did little to stop the joy I experienced from my balcony seat. Below me the city throbbed with costumed Calleonadas, teenage girls getting professionally photographed in their Quinceañera gowns, a side-view of the impressive Teatro Juarez, and Mariachi bands assembling for the nightly music extravaganza. If you've just arrived in town I think a balcony seat at La Trattoria is somewhat of a must.
The staff was accommodating, quick, and welcoming. The food was well made (shrimp tacos, vegetarian lasagna (I think), and side of potatoes. I would opt out of this and probably try something else if you decisive to get the ribeye combo. The potatoes was very dry and just not that appetizing. Their sangria was mediocre, so I would probably try something else on the menu. Also, try to get a seating near the balcony for a great view! (No reservation was needed when I went in)
This place was really great, the view from the balcony was amazing and easy to get a table and sit. The tuna appirizer dish was great and so was the pizza. It's easy to fall into tourist trap locations where the food is meh but this place was delish.
This is a very attractive property overlooking the main plaza. Get balcony seating if you can to watch the street scene. Started with an nice rose from Ensenada, crisp and a nice fruit. Started with the Caprese salad, nice tomatoes and not to much balsamic. Ordered the 4 cheese pizza, take my advice, don't. The thin crust is overwhelmed by a mount of cheese with no discernible flavor. I switched to a chicken cutlet and green salad which were both really good. They took the pizza of the bill no problems. All in all a nice place to eat with good service, reasonable prices and a wonderful view of the square.
I've been traveling to this area of central Mexico on business for more than a decade and one city that never disappoints is the very old but well preserved city of Guanajuato. Very cool town. This picturesque town which is nestled into a narrow valley surrounded by steep hills and mountains. It was settled in 1522 by the Spanish after silver was discovered here. It is known for its narrow and winding streets as well as its tunnels constructed under the city to allow rain water to run off without flooding the silver mines. La Trattoria is strategically situated kitty-corner from the town square which is covered with uniquely sculpted shade trees...a very comfortable place to hang out for relief from the sun. You gotta love La Trattoria's tables that cantilever out in the fresh air on the second floor of the building. We started our dinner with a pair of appetizers including the Fried Mix - shrimp & calamari with a garlic Chipotle sauce and Mozzarella in Carriage smothered in their spicy hot sauce. Both brought the heat we wanted and expected. At the reco' of a local at our table, I jumped for the Divine Comedy...a delicious combo of beef tenderloin medallions w/ a 4-Cheese sauce and shrimp w/ a sweet sherry sauce. Even Dante would have loved this dish. Fantastico! Others at our table tried some of the signature Italian pasta dishes including the Spaghetti Bolognese and the ricotta and spinach Stuffed Cannelloni. Life is always good w/ fresh made pasta. Cinco estrellas.
El lugar se encuentra en pleno centro de toda la acción. Hubo un poco de espera para poder pasar(unos 10 minutos). El lugar estaba repleto. Nuestro mesero apenas podía alcanzar nuestra mesa para entregar los platillos. A pesar de esto, nuestra comida llegó rápido y calientita. Todo estuvo deli-cioso!!! El melón que venía con nuestro jamón serrano estaba en su punto. Las bebidas también riquísimas. Recomendado.
La Trattoria was awesome. The service was excellent. The atmosphere was just what we were looking for - romantic, quiet, great views, good service, soft lighting. The waiters were very friendly and were knowledgeable about the wine list. I ordered the Quattro Formaggio (Four cheese fettuccine) which was pretty tasty. It actually did have International cheeses incorporated in the sauce. (I say this because I've ordered other cream pastas in Mexico and they try to substitute in Mexican cheeses which just don't taste good in that context.) My husband ordered the Spaghetti Pomodoro, which he said he liked more than my dish. They brought out a complimentary nacho/red salsa type of sauce with breadsticks and bread. It was a little spicy but very welcomed as we snacked on that while we waited for our meal. We visited on the evening of "El día de las flores" (The day of flowers) festival and sat out on the balcony, which made for very pretty views as the locals were celebrating with flowers everywhere. All in all, it had a great atmosphere, good service and good food. We both ordered a meal, we both had wine and shared a dessert and spent about $65 US dollars.
Good selection of dishes, nice view. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, they gave us different suggestions on what to do in the afternoon. The second floor has a view to the Theater and jardín de la union. There was live music at the jardín which made it an enjoyable experience.
Food was delicious, what made it better was the balcony table and service. We Ordered a hawaiian pizza and Mar y Tierra dish. Both where excellent!
We had a wonderful dinner here, on the balcony overlookong the plaza. The food was very good and cooked to perfection.

Sunday night dinner. Spectacular view. Great wine. Good service. Terrible, and I mean 7/11 and Diminos have better pizza. Terrible fettuccine alfredo, and I mean worse than microwave pasta. Delicious rack of lamb & bass filet. Come for the drinks and view, not food. read more

Food: 9/10 Service: 10/10 Ambiance: 10/10 After days of tacos (no complaints!), we were ready to mix things up and La Trattoria was the perfect choice. Located on the second floor right in front of the park where the mariachi plays and next to the iconic Teatro Juárez, this spot offers not only fantastic food but also one of the best views in town. Picture a charming, rustic setting overlooking the lively street scene below. La Trattoria blends Italian and Mexican flavors beautifully. I had the tuna appetizer and shrimp tacos both absolutely delicious and full of fresh, bold flavor. Others at our table enjoyed a variety of pasta and seafood dishes, and everyone left impressed. The drinks were also a hit they offer a solid mix of cocktails, from traditional cantaritos to crisp martinis. Whether you're in the mood for something a little different or just want to soak up the atmosphere with a great meal and a view, La Trattoria is a must. We'll definitely be back! read more

This place was ok, the food lacked flavor. It had a cute patio though, service was ok. I feel it was overpriced for what we got. We had the fried mozzarella and steak with some kind of cheese topping. read more

One of our first nights in GTO. While we were one of only four or five tables we got great food, excellent service and so enjoyed sitting on a small balcony and watching buskers, tourists and all the others. We could hear wonderful live music too. Good place! read more

Great Italian food, attentive service and great views of the Jardín from the balcony tables. It's upstairs from the Hotel San Diego. I had the beef tournedos in Gorgonzola sauce, which were very tender, but not quite as flavorful as a good arrachera. It was far more meat than I was able to eat. My partner had a seafood pasta, which he liked, but I wasn't fond of, as I'm not all that crazy about seafood unless it's super fresh. I've eaten there before and think I had the cannaloni (sp), which had been recommended and was very good. read more
