  I was truly disappointed by my experience at this restaurant. The food was ok and the server was good but not very knowledgeable about the menu. My problem is actually with management. When I found a major discrepancy with the bill, I was treated very poorly. Management was condescending and judgmental before even listening to the problem, as if there is no way they could have made a mistake. I will never spend my money at this restaurant again.

  very good Italian food. The ravioli is the best we've ever eaten, the veal was amazing and the wine list was good. The place is upscale but not stuffy and everyone at our table was raving about their food. It's a good place to go for lunch. We were all very impressed with the service and the chef came to our table to say hello. We like to come here a few times a month and we bring company here, too.

  I first discovered Tragara when I attanded a business conference a few months ago. There are several large conference/meeting rooms upstairs. Our party of 112 was very comfortable and the fabulous lunch and dessert table were big hits.
  
  During the holiday season, I was invited to attend an anniversary party, and once again was extremely pleased with the food and wine choices.
  The wine list seems to be chosen by someone who knows a little something about pairing wine with foods...beautiful choices in a wide variety of prices.
  
  The romantic atmosphere and the "European" feel of the dining room downstairs accentuate the classic Italian dishes which are expertly prepared. The staff is efficient and friendly.
  
  Tragara has become my favorite "standby" restaurant. I've been back several times with clients, family and friends, and the service and quality of the food always exceed our expectations.
  
  The desserts....there's something with chocolate and hazelnuts...just dive in!
  
  We are new in the area, so we haven't visited a lot of restaurants, but we know what we like and we keep coming back to Tragara.
