La Trattoria

I stopped by with my son to have a quick pizza. Our server Adriano was the best. On a scale of one to five stars he gets an 11. Also the atmosphere is out of this world right on the corner of the plaza. It is incredible. We ordered a 4 cheese pizza and topping were great but the pizza crust left a little to be desired. But overall it was good. Adriano brought some bread with a delicious herb butter spread. Very nice.

Very good food. Pasta is not “Al dente,” but it is tasty. The pear salad is amazing and the lasagna y stuffed pasta is very good. Desserts are creative and pretty. Perfect place to celebrate.

First time here. Service was spot on. Our server was great. Atmosphere. Perfect. Had a table on the balcony overlooking the scenes below. Drinks. Perfect. Food. Beef carpaccio was excellent. The wife’s lamb was great. Sadly my filet was ok at best (lacked flavor).

Came in two seperate times and the food was incredible, I ordered the pasta with sea food, very delicious! A friend ordered the vegetarian lasagna and was amazing. For dessert I ordered fresas con crema and my friend crepas de cajeta. This place is a must visit when in Guanajuato!!

Incredible restaurant with delicious food and impeccable service! Time after time the waiter knew exactly what we needed without having to ask, and always with a smile. The pizza was out of this world and the breads and butter were top! The melon water was also perfect and not too sweet. Overall very surprised by this not so hidden gem, I maybe assumed it was a bit of a tourist trap, but couldn’t be further from the truth.

Amazing hotel restaurant with an excellent view of the the park. The food was delicious, the service attentive and the view wonderful. This is the rare hotel restaurant that I will recommend. The prices are also reasonable. Definitely recommend if you are in the historic district and want a good Italian dining experience.

The pizza is not really good. Seems the use low quality ingredients. For the price you should expect much more. The meat dish was good. Its a nice decorated place next to a crowded plaza and you have a good view on the balconies.

I am always skeptical of big hotel restaurants. But our meals were great, the wait staff were very attentive, and we had a wonderful time. My wife had the cheese cannelloni which was super rich. I had a tuna steak with grilled peppers. We of course had dessert -- brownie for me and tiramisu for my wife. The waiter also brought a 3rd dessert with a heart drawn on it. I also had a mezcal and two beers. It was a delightful meal.

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)

A fine dining experience. The view of the Jardin was spectacular. My minestrone soup was perfect and in fact was a full meal. The cheese cake was delicious. So good was the food all around that I selfishly ignored my other diners. We will definitely go back. I promise I will tell everybody.

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.

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.

The ideal place to share with the family, I once came to this place and enjoyed it very much with my family.

Food was decent, not impressive (fish a bit tough, overcooked) but it was fine. We were really there for a balcony seat with views of all the action below.

My husband and I are frequent visitors of Italy for their explosive flavors and ambiance. Didn't expect to feel and eat the flavors of Rome. Every item from the mouth watering salad, savory/magnífico lasagne, thin crust pepperoni pizza, creamy Tiramisu and flavorful coffee. The service and view were magical and the Mixology drinks were all 10 of 10! (and we tried at least 5). Service amazing (not pushy). The view on or off terrace offers spectacular views and best of all, meal/drinks underpriced for perfection.

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.

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.

The food is very good. The service took a little while to get going but once it did the food was excellent. I had a glass of merlot actually 2 and the wife had 1 glass of white. 2 bowls of minestrone soup were very good. I had the lasagna which was good but a tiny bit runny and over cooked but still good. Wife has an amazing putanesca. It was so good. Best. olives I've had in a pasta in a while. Prices reasonless too. 65$ out the door. Recommend this place but not easy getting a table as it's right on corner next to the garden in city center. We had a 830 reservation.

This is a terrible place, and beware because they keep changing the name of the restaurant in order to avoid bad reviews. Naive me, I gave it another chance. After my friends who were visiting insisted we eat here because of the views, I went to this joint again. To make a horror story short, I was served the most disgusting Lasagnia ever. This is what they did. Because they had no prepared Lasagnia to meet my order, they found some meat sauce in their fridge and mixed in some half boiled lasagna noodles. I was presented with this frightening dish that looked like a small mound of stewed ground meat---no cheese! Before ordering, I had asked the waiter if they had fresh Lasagnia, to which he responded in a polite and convincing manner, "yes". My prior horrible experience in this place was finding a Brillo wire in my chicken, to which the manager responded in a casual non-challant manner with no apologies or suggestion to replace the order. This place is simply a frightening trap riding on its location; it should never be visited despite having a nice view of the Plaza Central. The prices are outrageous considering the mediocre poorly prepared food they serve.

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!

The view was wonderful and the service was great; however, the food was so-so. We had the fried parsley with bacon and the tuna taco. The tuna was cooked well, but the sauce was not heat. Get the sauce on the side! The 4 Seasons pizza was definitely not Italian. The crust was a cross between a tortilla and a pizza crust. I might go back for the view, but not the food.

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.

We had a wonderful dinner here, on the balcony overlookong the plaza. The food was very good and cooked to perfection.

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!

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.

The cabornada was good, it's very creamy though. The Bolognase pasta was tasty it had tomato sauce with ground meat. We also order ravioli with the the same used in the Bolognase pasta soo good.

Wonderful place with in incredible views of the city. Service amazing, the food was sublime. The waiters had great knowledge of the menu and were really great servers. The price is high but totally worth for the food. The wine selection is amazing and they have a great sommelier to help you choose a great bottle of wine to compliment your food.

The food is delicious. But there no water In the bathroom.. I asked them so they give me a sanitaizer? Wow how they wash they hardware stuff?

Great restaurant, centrally located, nice views. The food was excellent as well, nice portions, well prepared, Italian with a Mexican touch. Wife had a nice salmon with poblano pieces on it and she really enjoyed it. I had an excellent Osso Buco di Vitello, again very savory. Good service too.

It was a really bad experience, the services was bad but the food was ok... please try not to come during any event cuz the place and service goes slow

OMG!! Started with a capresse salad, mozzarella amazing. We ordered the medallions with fruit and gorgonzola cheese. Both were absolutely delicious. Cooked to perfection. The view is amazing. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Great Italian food in our hotel building. Highly recommend trying to secure a spot on the balcony overlooking centro. Staff provided great service and were very playful with us. Go here if you're looking for a delicious Italian meal and nice ambiance.

Great location. Nothing else good to say about it. Food was somewhere between ordinary (the seafood entree) and poor (the puttanesca). The place smelt. The service was ordinary. Expensively printed menus that were badly worn - evidence of complete lack of interest in offering seasonal specialties. It's a pity. It's a top location and with a real effort in the kitchen and on service this pace could be great. Until they change ownership and management my advice is to stay away.

We were served cold pizza and they use that weird yellow mozzarella instead of the fresh one which is super important! Dessert was good and the service was great. The pasta on other people's tables looked great so if you go, get pasta!

One of my absolute favorites in Mexico. Nice wine list, the most amazing parsley tacos (not a typo), best tiramisu I have ever eaten, and all of the entrees that I tried were all delicious. I loved sitting at a small romantic table on the balcony overlooking Jardin de la Union. Impeccable service .
