Trattoria Serventi

This is one of my go to spots in GP Woods for a nice casual Italian dinner that's delicious. However, last night the service was painfully slow and inattentive. We were seated in the bar area, and while we each received a drink in good time, we were left there with no offer to take an order for dinner. After about 30 minute, we still saw no one who appeared to be available to do this and no one had asked or offered. I got up and asked one of the servers using the computer in the back if she could find someone to take our food order. When someone finally arrived, we ordered, and waited. And waited. And waited. On soup, on some bread, and on our entrees. When the entrees finally arrived my strategic friend asked the server for boxes and the bill immediately, as we were now late for an event. We scarfed down the food which was delicious, hot and plentiful but it wasn't as enjoyable because we now had to rush. If you have lots of time, go for it. If you are on any kind of a schedule or a bit hungry when you arrive, not a good choice. I hope they iron out these issues because this is really a great spot.

The calamari with spicy sauce, lasagna, and handcrafted gnocchi are all absolutely amazing dishes at this restaurant. It's perfect for takeout, but it's also a great spot to sit down and enjoy a nice dinner.

We tried this place once because it's on Skymiles Dining and have been coming back ever since. Owner is really nice, bartenders Sandy and Tristin are as well they make really great dirty martinis. Food is always so good. My favorites things are arancini, grilled mushrooms, The Shawn and The Joseph pizza, Guiseppe Risotto, and have had plenty of good specials. Half off wine on Wednesdays is always a plus!

Trattoria Serventi did exceed my expectations! If you've read some of my other reviews, my family is very Italian so I feel like I'm very particular about my Italian food. My family and I came together, so we order a bunch of food and tried lots of different dishes. The Charcuterie Board was loaded with all different meats and cheeses, we all loved it! The soup and pasta were pretty basic Italian. The veal was delicious, presented very well with lots of flavor. The ravioli were also tasty and actually very filling. The one dish we weren't too keen on were the Sea Scallops. They didn't have very much flavor and seemed very underwhelming compared to the rest of the dish. We did order some desserts and they were okay, nothing to write home about. I do wish the desserts had better presentation but was a big fan of the coffee. Our waitress was great! She was very friendly and bubbly with all of us. And the actual restaurant was welcoming. While we were there, everyone was dressed nicely (business casual), but wouldn't be surprised if some people came in casually dressed. It was a very relaxed vibe.

Delicious food and great service, as always. We had the Linguini Serventi and Paglia E Fieno tonight, both were perfect and paired with quality house wines.
