La Trattoria - Reservar una mesa

We visited this small, friendly restaurant whilst on holiday in the area. They are open most days for lunch and in the evenings at weekend. The lunch menu is a well thought out plat du jour with a limited choice but the food, which is prepared and served by the Italian owners, is amazing. We had a superb courgette soup for starters, followed by a lovely pesto and tomato pasta dish topped with breadcrumbs and a delicious apricot tart for dessert served with vanilla cream. The owner speaks good English and was very knowledgeable and informative about the food. These people are clearly passionate about their food which is lovingly prepared in a very typical simple Italian style with fantastic flavours coming from fresh ingredients.

Unusual to find such a restaurant in a small village but this Italian only establishment aims to please. It is small, probably 16 covers, but well serviced by the helpful Maitre'D who is kept busy. There is a limited choice, all Italian, with 3 starters, 3 mains and 2 puddings to choice from. The wine is also all Italian and limited to 3 of each.I am not an Italian foodie so cannot comment on the authenticity of the food and wine but it tasted good and was well served with decent china and cutlery.Well worth a visit, but book, if you want an Italian only experience in rural SW France.

in Charente-Périgord, 'Italian restaurant' rhyme most of the time with pizzeria. for those who want something else and seek authentic Italian cuisine, tasteful and anchored in a terroir, the trattoria is essential. You eat there like there at home, dishes often simple but delicious, made in the art of grandmothers' culinary transmission to their granddaughters. Superb.The quality is deserving, the room of this restaurant is tiny (happyly there is a terrace in the summer). and owners don't open every day. So you really have to revive to access this little piece of deep analytics.

Just perfect! a clever mix of Italian cuisine with fresh products and an inspired chef - a top service and here's the cocktail of a restaurant not to be missed in the area. A real success with simplicity and a more than reasonable price!
