Restaurant Review: Trattoria Italian Kitchen

Stopping for dinner at Trattoria was not the plan.  We wanted to catch a show at the Fifth Avenue Cinema, and grab some pizza at Novo Pizzeria & Wine Bar, but the wait was a bit too long, so we wandered down to Trattoria instead (where there was no wait). We took a table on…
