LaTrattoria: A Taste of Authentic Italian Cuisine in Murrells Inlet

We had a table for thirteen and had a wonderful dinner. 13 meals and zero complaints! That in itself is kind of a rarity. Everything was fresh, cooked correctly and tasted great. Most at this table had eaten here before and always enjoy coming back. Worth the trip for great authentic Italian food. What do you expect...the chef is from Naples! Truly a wonderful dining experience.

Great time here at our early dinner this evening. We arrived at 4pm to beat the seasonal dinner crowd and were immediately seated. The food and the service from our waiter James was outstanding. The Sunday sauce is a must try if you go on a Sunday, you will not be disappointed. I was also finally able to enjoy an authentic, after dinner double espresso from that glorious espresso machine they have there. Well done FOH, BOH, everyone!

Walked in on a Wednesday night and were able to get sat at a table right away. They were extremely busy and the service was slow as to be expected. The seating is very cramped and not a lot of room between tables or in walkways. The restrooms are through a server station, a little odd. The food was all very good. The Parmesan crusted scallops for appetizer was good. Entree’s were both delicious, veal and grouper.

Had a very nice quiet dinner for two at La Trattoria. Excellent, authentic Italian cuisine prepared very well and presented nicely. You can taste the quality and care in their pasta , sauces and bread. Service was excellent and very reasonable cost. Delicious ricotta homemade cheesecake for dessert. Highly recommend reservations.

Really nice place. Generous pour on the cocktails. Good portions on appetizers. The Fra Diavolo was outstanding. Veal piccata was a little tough, but tasted good. Dessert sampler for four was way too much food, but excellent. Last but not least, the service was great.

Throw away your knife is the title of this review. Often overused phrase “ the best” but in this case it simply fits. The Chicken dishes are the most tender dishes you have ever tasted. No need to use a knife to cut, one press of your fork and up to your awaiting taste buds! Sauce is of very good consistency and texture, not too sweet with hints of spice. Eating Italian Food in NYC and then going to another state hoping to find some delicious Italian food out of state can be challenging. La Trattoria hit all the marks here, including atmosphere, service, parking and price point. Try it, you won’t be disappointed. They slash have an early bird special!

We had reservations for this restaurant on a Saturday afternoon. When we arrived, it was about 15 minutes before we were acknowledged by an employee. The wait staff were friendly but did not keep our waters or drinks filled. We had to look for them to get their attention to ask for refills versus them checking on us. The food took about an hour to arrive at the table. It wasn't great or fantastic, but it was good. I enjoy Italian food, but I left here a little disappointed with the overall experience.

All 5's here! What a great experience we had! Mike was a fantastic waiter. The food was amazing. Many people asked how our food was. The answer? On point! Out of the park!
