Let me introduce myself. I am Chef Dany. After receiving my degree in Rome, Italy I worked in the best restaurants in Italy and Canada for over 15 years. I finally decided to open my own restaurant "Trattoria Romantica" in the heart of Sainte-Dorothée, Laval. Dear customers, I know how important you are so rest assured that my team and I will do our utmost to meet your expectations and transport you to the delightful world of fine Italian cuisine that is prepared with authentic products. We look forward to welcoming you in our Trattoria. Chef Dany and his team.
Our Specialties
Pasta, Gnocchi di papà, Veal scaloppini with Gorgonzola, Veal ossobuco Milanese, Grilled lamb chops & Fresh of the day fish.
Trattoria Romantica impresses with delicious Italian classics, attentive service, and a cozy romantic atmosphere. The menu offers variety from gnocchi and seafood pasta to ossobuco, with desserts like tortufo and a wine list that provides good value by the glass. Guests praise flawless service, the option to host private events, and the soft jazz that enhances the dining experience, making it a reliable favorite for gatherings and special nights.
Visited on a Saturday Night, It was for a very special event, we were all looking forward to sharing this special occasion at a restaurant that is close to our heritage, the owner although offering exceptional service beforehand, once we were seated & eating, his staff was unable to provide us adequate services due to the miscommunication from the owner to his staff. The staff should be aware prior to being seated of special dietary restrictions when a big group event is planned weeks ahead of time. Although the food was impeccable, the restaurant was missing staff. The atmosphere wasn't that great as there was no background music, or there was & due to the high volume of the people in the restaurant we were unable to hear it. The lights continued to flicker & was giving headaches. We had brought a custom made cake for the occasion, after arriving home, we realized they have not given the cake back, it was left on the table & they brought it back to the kitchen while we were there for some reason. The wine was not left on the table, even when empty & were removed & it was difficult to track, we are convinced we overpaid at least 2 bottles more than we drank. We had a preset menu & the waiter had came with a regular menu, which was a lack of communication.
We hosted my daughter bridal shower at Trattoria Romantica & it was absolutely perfect. The atmosphere was beautiful, The staff went above & beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. They were attentive, organized, & incredibly kind, making us feel relaxed & well taken care of throughout the event. Everything was handled so smoothly, making the day truly special. Highly recommend for any celebration

Ce restaurant prend des groupes privés les dimanches. Nous l'avons donc réservé pour une fête en mars 2026. La soirée a été impeccable! Tous nos invités ont grandement apprécié la salle, le repas, la flexibilité & le service impeccable tout au long de la soirée. Un vrai succès! Merci encore au très sympathique couple-propriétaire & à leur équipe, nous reviendrons certainement :)
Trattoria Romantica with chef Daniele never disappoints!! The food is always amazing & delicious!! We highly recommend this restaurant you will not be disappointed!!
We have also booked it for private events a huge success.
The service is on point & the atmosphere with the soft jazz playing is perfect!! 10/10
My wife & I always wanted to try this Restaurant since we are from Ste. Dorothée. Are we glad we did.
Valentine's Menu was a plus. 3 course meal including warm Italian bread, bruschetta starter, entré, main meal, dessert & cappuccino. No longer bring your own wine, decent price wine by the glass or Italian beer.
Food was wonderful! We had grilled calamari, caprese salad, seafood pasta & my partner had ossobuco. For dessert we had the chocolate tortufo & ferraro roche cake.
The only reason I'm not giving the food 5 stars is because the caprese was chilled so I could tell it was prepared ahead of time & stored in the fridge. I would have preferred room temperature & fresh.
I came her once & immediately fell in love with it. I love the rectangle tables & the service was quick because of the 4 servers. I ordered salmon & it was SO good. Will definitely be coming back.

Des gens accueillants & avenants qui nous on même fait découvrir une boisson que nous ne connaissions pas pour la fête de notre papa. Nous étions en terrasse & peut nombreux à y être.
