Italo Trattoria: Italian Comfort Food & Fun Cocktails

In rebranding, Italo Trattoria stripped down the previous menus completely, changed up the vibe to an upbeat tempo, added a drinks trolley, and brought some heavy hitters onto the team.

They have larger-than-life chef Lucky Lasagna (who is also a tattoo artist) leading the kitchen, group GM Sebastien Dallee (who comes from Heritage by Madison), group bar manager Ilya Gorshkov, and restaurant manager Marco Chinellato.

The space remains the same, albeit with the addition of a centerpiece in the main dining area, a table to hold all the jars of their extremely addictive jumbo grissini.

There’s also the lounge seating area, the semi-private room, and the wrap-around bar.

The Food: Italian Comfort Food
The food menu is the handiwork of Lucky Lasagna, a chef (and tattoo artist) from Rome who’s been working the Shanghai circuit of restaurants for more than 10 years. The food is an ode to classic Italian food—trattoria favorites with a modern touch. (Read: beautifully plated for posting on Moments.)

How does it fare? It’s many a step up from the previous iterations of Italo. It’s a straightforward menu with a section dedicated to carpacci, cold/raw seasoned seafood and meats, cheese and cold cuts, fresh pastas, and mains. There is an excellent vitello tonnato, a beautiful lamb ragu ravioli, and a heady clam linguine that’s to die for.

Here are the highlights:













Custardy Zabaione with syrup-soaked cherries.
The Drinks: Cocktails & Wine
As for the drinks, there are 12 Aperitivo cocktails to choose from, ¥68-84 each, which come served to you on the Aperitivo trolley.

And there’s a curated wine menu, a mix of natural/organic and traditional, that gets updated every two weeks. Wines by the glass start from ¥52.





R: No-cello (¥58) – Non-alcoholic limoncello with lime essence, cinnamon, citrus peel, mint, and lime.
Italo Trattoria also has a tasting menu, seven courses plus dessert for ¥348 per person, minimum two guests.
