We have loved every meal we've had here (though weekend brunch is our favorite). There is excellence in every dish with fun flavor combinations, top notch ingredients, and amazing skill from the chefs.

Order the bread service, it's such yummy bread! Me and hubs got the squid ink fettuccine and the gnocchi the fettuccine was very good, the gnocchi was a little bland but still good. Dessert we had tiramisu and bread pudding which were both fantastic! Service was great, drinks were good, and prices weren't bad. The only thing we didn't love was how close the tables are but it is a small restaurant so it's understandable.

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 rose? 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 Rose (2022) – light, elegant, and summery • Lucien Albrecht Cremant Rose – 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.

Amazing food. Dessert is a little bit too sweet but everything else was just 10/10. Service is good, atmosphere is also good.

Took a chance and OMG!! This is one of those hidden hole in the wall gems. Make a reservation and you will not be disappointed. Staff is phenomenal, Christy was an absolute blast, food is off the chart. 100% original and very well done. Quaint, nicely done decor. Absolutely will visit again when in town. Do expect to pay, but well worth it.

Italia Trattoria is certainly one of Spokane’s top restaurants. The ambience is simple but elegant, the service is friendly but not over-the-top, and the food is stellar. Plan to pay for the quality - most entrees are around 40 as of Spring 2025. We had the beef carpaccio, the rabbit, the lamb ragu, and the orange cake. All were wonderful, but honestly, the ragu was just a little too powerful and winey for my taste. I think I would go for one of their citrus-forward dishes next time. The Chardonnay was excellent but again, pricey. Excellent anniversary or special occasion spot. Would love to see a slightly more price-accessible and simplified lunch menu someday (similar to brunch).

It was a relaxed environment with absolutely incredible food. The flavors were complex and superb. Enjoyed a wide variety of apps and a dinner course. I would go back for everything we ordered. Reservation highly encouraged., but they can also accommodate drop ins.

This is my 2nd time here. We 1st came for dinner a year ago, and only positive things to say. We got the lamb ragu and polenta Lasagna. I ordered the baked eggs for brunch and it was fantastic. Their fresh pastries are also amazing. Our waitress seems distracted and that she was having a hard time servicing our table. Wasn't too much of an issue except for the food coming out slightly cold and by another waitress. Would definitely come back for another meal, a lot of dedication and experience goes into their menu.
