La Trattoria - Luton

Absolutely amazing food and service! We had bruschetta, olives, seafood spaghetti, spicy bacon penne, lemon sorbet and raspberry cheesecake! Couldn’t fault any of it- it was perfect. Properly authentic Italian food and experience for an incredible price! We are already planning our next trip to this restaurant!

Lovely little restaurant. Good find, great service and great food. Lovely welcome, food was very tasty and plentiful. Disappointed that some things were ‘out of season’ but with good advice helped to an alternative. Great start to our holiday and if back this way would definitely return to this lovely restaurant. Thank you!

Very nice food, overall I would say it was a very good experience. From the start the servers were extremely attentitive, we had two young children with us who were extremely tired and they were supportive of any kick off/tantrum that was experienced. When we were given our meals we were given recommendations and a list of the food still available (as we turned up very late), we were also provided with a list of specials, all sounding delicious. Thoughout the meal we were checked up on to make sure we were happy with our meal and afterwards we were kept company until our taxi arrived (this was longer than average due to it being a peak time and a busy night). Overall I'd rate the experience one of my top experiences of eating out not only due to the food but due to the excellent service.

After reading all the good reviews we decided to try this restaurant and had high expectations We arrived to not a particularly warm welcome the waitress told us the specials were chicken, steak and veal and walked off no mention of how they were cooked or what sauces they came with and no prices after asking how the veal came the waitress had to go into kitchen and ask the chef who shouted out how they were cooked and the waitress then said did you hear that? we decided to just order off of the menu we ordered drinks to start with (a bottle of rose wine plonked on the table not even opened) when the lady came to take our order we asked if we could have a few minutes to finish our pre dinner drinks it was obviously a problem for her that we wanted to wait a short while and after being asked for about the fifth time we felt under pressure to place our order (even though the restaurant was half empty) whilst the pasta dishes were nice the garlic bread left a lot to be desired basically just a toasted slice of white dry bread as soon as we had finished our main course our plates were taken away and the bill put on the table we were not asked if we wanted anything else as we still had half a bottle of wine left we didn’t settle the bill straight away as we were enjoying our wine we lost count of the times they tried to ask us to pay again under immense pressure we paid and felt like we had to leave it was not a relaxing evening nor were we made to feel welcome. This restaurant specialises in pasta and pizza and we heard the waitress telling tow guys who wanted pizza that they only had enough dough left for one pizza they had run out and it was only 8.30! Overall our experience of this restaurant was very disappointing very rushed, unfriendly staff, no niceties and certainly not a relaxing evening we will not be returning.

The la trattoria is the number one restaurant in Luton and Dunstable. Myself and my sister really look forward to going here. The food is amazing and great value for money. Being in the restaurant is like stepping into Italy it’s very traditional in its decor and its food. The food arrives nice and hot. The atmosphere is great. Our favourite is the king prawns they are delicious. The owners Micheal and Agnes a very friendly and make you feel very welcome.
