" If you appreciate home-cooked meals and an intimate dining experience, Trattoria Calabria is the place to be! The menu changes with the chef’s mood, which is a fantastic surprise for anyone who loves exploring new cuisines.

The atmosphere is casual yet elegant, making it perfect for a loved one or family gatherings. Just remember to bring your own wine. I’m already planning my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

The owner, Danny, has a great sense of humor and personality that brings the place to life. You are going to eat well, and they do not spare on portions! Even if you leave the meal somewhat stuffed, their desserts are a must-try. I would gladly come several times! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited for a family gathering and found the ambiance so inviting and cozy. Danny was a fantastic host, making our experience unforgettable. The food kept coming, each course more delicious than the last. I'd say the eggplant parmesan and the garlic bread were the top highlights for me! The portions were sufficiently generous, which was wonderful—always nice to take extra home! Overall, a top-notch dining experience that I would highly recommend. " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience at Trattoria Calabria was simply fantastic. The owner, Danny, produces a lovely atmosphere filled with joy and laughter while serving authentic Italian dishes.

" Absolutely love this place! The food is fresh and authentic, brought straight from Danny’s heart to your plate. We enjoyed multiple courses, including an excellent spice-forward marinara sauce that made the pasta sing! The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming. You could tell the time and effort that was put into every part of the meal. I can’t recommend this place enough and already have my next reservation set. Be prepared to eat a lot; the portions were just incredible! " (*Curated Review*)

" An extraordinary night at Trattoria Calabria! From the moment you step in, the warmth and enthusiasm of Danny shine through. The Italian offerings were fresh and incredibly flavorful—a reflection of real Italian traditions. The numerous courses were presented beautifully, and it's hard not to leave with leftovers due to the plentiful portions. This dining experience felt less like a restaurant and more like being welcomed into the family home, a delightful evening I will cherish! " (*Curated Review*)
