Reviews
We found out the hard way that in Swanage you have to book places for dinner. After trying many places to no avail, we walked into La Trattoria and were kindly squeezed in. The wine, starters and food were amazing. Was slightly disappointed with the Bruschetta being on their house garlic bread. Would have liked it on a different bread or told when we ordered that we’d essentially be having two lots of garlic bread but the overall experience and meal wasn’t dampened by this. Their pasta is delicious so highly recommend that. Definitely coming back when we return to the area and next time we’re booking!
It can be hard finding a restaurant in Swanage if you haven't booked in advance but we were lucky enough to score a table at La Trattoria. It's clearly very popular, especially with families, and that makes perfect sense as the staff are friendly and the food tasty. What you're looking at is an old-school, family-owned Italian restaurant that offers a short but classic menu with all of the greatest hits. The food itself is nicely prepared and enjoyable but not fancy. It is, however, somewhat on the expensive side at £20-25 per head without alcohol. Still it's nice to visit somewhere that isn't all about fried food or other seaside delights and we certainly never felt rushed despite the restaurant being packed out. So if you prefer to dine well over a harbour view then La Trattoria will see you right.
Really nice food, well prepared. Pleasantly relaxed, grown up atmosphere on a relatively quiet Sunday evening in early winter. Prompt and friendly service. Not cheap, but this is reflected in the quality.
