Trattino, Italian restaurant in Lyon's 7th arrondissement, France
Trattino is an Italian restaurant in Lyon's 7th arrondissement, set on a side street near the Rhône river. The dining room is small, with tables set close together, a tiled floor, and a terrace outside that fills up when the weather is good.
Trattino was started by two brothers who wanted to build a place around shared values connected to food and the environment. Over time, the restaurant grew into a neighborhood fixture in the Guillotière, bringing together a team of over 40 people.
The name Trattino is an Italian diminutive that roughly translates to "little trattoria," which captures the down-to-earth tone of the place. The restaurant sits in the Guillotière neighborhood, one of the most diverse parts of Lyon, and this mix is felt in the crowd that gathers there at lunch and dinner.
The restaurant is easy to reach on foot or by metro, as it sits in a well-connected part of the 7th arrondissement near the Rhône. Because the room is small, booking ahead is a good idea, especially for evening meals or weekends.
More than half of the ingredients used in the kitchen come from within about 90 miles (150 km) of Lyon, and the restaurant works only with organic and fair-trade suppliers. There is also a small shop on site where visitors can buy local produce and homemade sauces to take home.
