La Trattoria is truly a gem in the heart of Old Cloverdale. While I don't personally know the…read moreowners, it's clear they are fully committed to serving this community. They aren't afraid to take on a high volume of orders--even during a busy dinner service. I experienced this firsthand while dining one evening when more than 30 pizza orders came in, yet we still received excellent, attentive service. Our meals were perfect. They may be a small team, but they are incredibly efficient and dedicated. They go out of their way to ensure call-in orders are ready on time, and their attention to customers never wavers.

Disappointing Experience at La Trattoria - Birthday Celebration…read moreWe dined at La Trattoria on Saturday, August 22, 2026, to celebrate two birthdays. We made reservations in advance and arrived early, expecting a nice evening to celebrate. Unfortunately, the experience started off poorly with the hostess. When we explained that we had reservations and had arrived early, she responded, "Oh, it doesn't matter, we're not busy." She initially walked us to a larger round table, placed the menus down, and moved a chair. She then said, "Oh, not there, but this table," and moved us to a much smaller table crammed up against a party of eight who were also having dinner and celebrating. What was especially frustrating was that the larger table remained empty for our entire visit. It would have been much more comfortable and appropriate to seat us there rather than have us practically sitting on top of another party. Our waitress, Kennedy B., eventually came over and explained one special that wasn't on the menu. We ordered drinks and took some time to look over the menu. The drinks took quite a while, despite the fact that we could see them sitting on the counter. We decided to go ahead and order our entrees while waiting. We ordered the Hero Sandwich with fries, Lasagna with salad, Frutti di Mare with salad, and Chicken Piccata. We were also asked if we wanted bread with our meal, which we did. Unfortunately, the bread that arrived was extremely hard and tasted as though it had been sitting around and was leftover. The salads arrived before the entrees, followed eventually by our meals. While our waitress was setting down the entrees, she began picking up our salads without asking whether we were finished. I had to tell her, "No, I'm not done." Basic table service should include asking before removing someone's plate. Unfortunately, the food itself was also disappointing. The lasagna was bland and had very little filling. There was hardly any meat or ricotta, and it lacked flavor. It honestly tasted more like sauce from a jar than a properly prepared Italian lasagna. The Frutti di Mare was just okay, but it was swimming in an excessive amount of liquid. More concerning, the octopus did not taste fresh and seemed spoiled. The Chicken Piccata was another disappointment. We didn't realize when ordering that the dish came with a choice of salad or pasta rather than pasta being included with the meal. This was never explained to us. In my experience, pasta is commonly served with Chicken Piccata at an Italian restaurant, so this was an unexpected presentation. The chicken itself was dry, and there were an excessive number of capers--far more than necessary. We ordered another round of drinks, and once again we could see them sitting on the counter. Approximately seven minutes passed before they were brought to our table, even though the restaurant was not busy. We also overheard the table next to us trying to order different desserts. They eventually had to ask, "What do you have?" because it seemed there were very limited dessert options. That certainly didn't leave us feeling like we were at a restaurant prepared to provide a complete dining experience. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience, especially because we were there celebrating two birthdays. The service was slow and inattentive, the food was inconsistent and disappointing, and some basic details that should have been explained were not. The waitress was fortunate to receive the tip she did, considering the overall level of service. The restaurant is located in a nice area with beautiful homes surrounding it, but unfortunately, the restaurant itself left a lot to be desired. For a restaurant presenting itself as Italian, we expected much better food, service, and attention to detail. Sadly, our birthday celebration at La Trattoria was not the enjoyable evening we had anticipated.

You can tell she truly cares about her employees, and that warmth carries throughout the space. This place genuinely feels like home. The building itself was converted from an old theater, and the history and architecture make it incredibly inviting. That character sets it apart. It works well for families, business meetings, groups, and even wedding receptions. The food was good, the drinks were great, and there's plenty of seating for multiple parties. Just a friendly tip -- don't take the bar spots reserved for the regulars and you'll have no issues. Highly recommend this spot.

I heard a few other people in the restaurant comment to the same. We weren't about to complain though as it was just what we needed with fresh veggies and the Gorgonzola dressing was epic! We then moved on to our entree of the Rigatoni Bolognese adding meatballs. There was a hint of sweetness that we got from the cognac and cream! The Sunday gravy component was amazing. I wish that we could have taken a jar of it with us. My husband asked today if I thought we maybe able to duplicate. We maybe able to get close but I double if we could duplicate. The atmosphere was comfortable and upscale without being stuffy while also a laidback bar feel where others could watch the World Cup while enjoying a pizza and beer. By the way, we watched a pizza go by our table and almost snatched a piece. It looked and smelled amazing. If we are ever back in Montgomery we'll be back and would recommend to others.

My guy called to make sure they would be open since it the week of Christmas. The guy on the phone, after answering that they were open, proceeded to text a menu and the address to us. Great customer service!!! Upon arriving, and after a little confusion as to how to place an order (due to the coffee shop staff), we ordered a meat lovers.com and a build your own with Alfredo base, bacon and beef. Both were personal sized. After a short week and the owner coming out to give us an update on our order, the pizzas arrived. They looked just as delicious as pictures had showed. They also tasted as good as they looked. The cheese was really cheesing, and had that mozzarella pull you see in movies and magazines. The toppings were fresh and flavorful. Both the red sauce and the Alfredo sauce were measured perfectly. The crust was a star and could easily be a meal by itself...it was just that good. The pizzas should come with a side of red sauce for dipping the crust in. The owner (I think his name is Cedric) came out , chatted with us, discovered we were from Birmingham, and apologized that we didn't get to visit his regular location as they are making some repairs. He was very down to earth and we encouraged him to look into coming to the Birmingham market. We could tell that he put his heart into his work and he has taught that also to his employees. I really hopes he looks in to branching out. He has something special with these pizzas. If you're in the area, please check them out. You won't regret it!

People around here insist on shredded but you can order a 'Build Your Own' with fresh mozzarella." That young lady deserves a raise. I don't know her salary, but trust me you should pay her more because she is fantastic at her job and is the reason for four stars instead of three. She kept smiles on the faces of everyone with a great sense of humor. As for the restaurant, it's a nice pizzeria with cool pictures on the wall and even a Ms. Pac-Man game in the corner. They have two tables on the patio outside but plenty of seating inside. We ordered the Build Your Own Pizza but basically made it a Margherita pizza with fresh mozzarella to go. Got to try and keep it somewhat authentic. We had a few beers on the patio and Ashleigh came by one time with samples of a chocolate shake that has some stout beer and round chocolate cookie cereal pieces on top. It was delicious. Unfortunately, our pizza had to be reheated by the time we got back to my sister's house. It was ok but it's not fair to rate it since it wasn't fresh from the oven. Crust was halfway decent. I'd try them again for sure but I'd eat at the restaurant next time.
