Trattoria
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "about". Template:Use dmy dates
A trattoria is an Italian eatery, generally less formal than a ristorante (Template:Literally) but more formal than an osteria.[1]
A trattoria rooted in tradition, typically, is without a printed menu, with casual service, wine sold by the decanter rather than the bottle, low prices, and a menu of modest but plentiful offerings that follow regional and local recipes rather than haute cuisine.[2] Sometimes, food is served family-style, at common tables. Optionally, a trattoria may offer takeaway. This tradition has waned in recent decades. Many trattorie have taken on some of the trappings of a ristorante, providing relatively few concessions to the old rustic and familial style. The name trattoria has also been adopted by some high-level restaurants.[1]
Etymology
The word trattoria is cognate with the French term traiteur[3] (a caterer providing takeaway food). Derived in Italian from Script error: No such module "Lang"., meaning 'to treat' (from the Latin Script error: No such module "Lang"./Script error: No such module "Lang"., 'to draw'),[4] its etymology has also been linked to the Latin term Script error: No such module "Lang"., which referred to a letter ordering provision of food and drink for officials traveling on the business of the Holy Roman Empire.[3][5]
