Tratto is a bustling, bar-driven restaurant serving rustic Northern Italian fare. Just your Italian mama would make. The tasty menu is simple, delicious dishes meant for sharing sprinkled in a casual, communal-style dining area. With seats nearby of one another, this creates a friendly, neighborhood bar experience inspired by the Italian happy hour tradition of "aperitivo."

The sustainable menu includes a selection of freshly made pasta dishes and homemade sausages, thin crust pizza, locally sourced seafood.

The full bar features traditional Italian cocktails with a twist, house-made Italian Sodas and limoncellos, and beer and wine sourced from the best of the West Coast and Italy.

Tratto’s décor features custom paintings by Tratto’s local, inaugural artist-in-residence, Amos Goldbaum, who crafted a number of large landscape pieces for the restaurant that are inspired by the iconic vistas, streets and skylines of San Francisco
