Tramonto

Some diners return to Tramonto for its oyster cream pasta. One visitor enjoyed a dish of flat noodles with generously sized oysters and a cream sauce that wasn’t too heavy. Another recalled that the oysters’ savoury flavour came through clearly in the sauce, while some diners look forward to the cream pasta each winter. If you’re in the mood for something rich, it’s a dish to consider.

There are mushroom-based cream pastas to choose from, too. The menu includes tagliatelle with mushrooms and fresh cream, as well as linguine with mushroom sauce. One visitor reported enjoying a generous serving of creamy mushroom fettuccine. With different noodles and ingredients to choose from, you might find yourself weighing up oysters against the flavour of mushrooms. The menu also lists rigatoni with bacon and carbonara.

For something other than cream sauce, try a tomato-based pasta such as amatriciana with bacon and onion or Siciliana with green pepper and black olives. Appetisers include tender simmered octopus, marinated mackerel, and a platter of prosciutto and mortadella; you could start with one alongside a glass of wine. Tiramisu and New York cheesecake are among the desserts. A diner who visited for lunch also mentioned enjoying bread and coffee after the meal.

Several diners have noted that dishes are made to order and can take time to arrive. Tramonto is better suited to a leisurely meal than a quick stop. Booking is listed as an option, so checking ahead may help with planning.
