Cultural Note
A trattoria is less formal than a ristorante, usually family-run with a limited menu of regional home-style cooking. The food is often better and cheaper than in fancy restaurants. Many trattorias have no written menu -- the waiter tells you what's available that day based on fresh market ingredients.
