About Trattoria MKIII

Tucked away along Main Street, this mountain trattoria turns out fresh pasta with generous, rustic warmth. Watch the kitchen fire plates to order while sipping a tart Rhubarb Negroni or a cold spritz. Diners point to the crunchy garlic bread, pillowy house gnocchi, and crisp arancini before checking the entryway walls for chalkboard-style daily specials—like basil ravioli or tender meatballs. Finish unhurried with a bowl of pistachio ice cream over silky panna cotta.

  • Open-Kitchen View: Watch pans flame and pasta prepared to order from the dining room.
  • Wall-Written Specials: Rotating pastas and chef creations are chalked directly onto the walls and entryway doors.
  • Signature Spritzes & Negronis: Pair hearty bowls with house creations like the Rhubarb Negroni and Limoncello spritz.

Before you head over

Practical advice on reservations, seating, and ordering for your visit.

    This intimate venue fills up quickly even on weeknights. Book in advance to guarantee an indoor table and avoid outdoor or entryway seating in colder mountain weather.

  • Check Doors and Walls for Specials

    Before placing your order, look for daily chef specials handwritten directly onto the entrance doors and interior restaurant walls alongside the printed menu.

  • Arrive Early for Walk-Ins

    If you visit without a reservation, arriving right around 5:20 PM offers the best chance of securing a walk-in table before the dinner rush fills the dining room.
