"Let me start by stating that this review is by no means a reflection of the service or the quality of food we received. It is a reflection of this establishment not vetting their new hires more thoroughly, thus causing a very stressful atmosphere for my wife's birthday dinner. On Feb. 4th, 2024, my wife chose Trattoria Trullia as her go to for her birthday dinner, as she has many times in the past. During those visits the service and food was always top notch. However, this visit was different. See, my wife works at another restaurant over in Cardiff, which sits right on the beach, and she as well as some of her fellow co-workers were the victims of sexual harassment. A fellow co-worker had been under the influence of drugs and was grabbing his fellow female coworkers inappropriately. This person was immediately fired. Imagine my wife's distress when we arrived at Trattoria and he was now employed there. She sat through our entire meal, while not saying anything to our group for fear of ruining her the dinner vibe and causing a scene. This was HER birthday dinner. He had even come to our table and bussed a couple dishes in close proximity to her and then promptly, kept his distance. She only informed me of her distress after we arrived home. I am sure you can only imagine how absolutely infuriated I was upon learning of this. Having grown up in Leucadia and patronized this establishment many many times, its saddens me that I can no longer recommend this establishment to my friends or family until this new hire no longer works here. I would ask that this establishment vet its new hires better."

"thanks for a great meal. This is a very cozy restaurant. I mean that in a positive way. The temperature, lighting and din of diners were inviting and welcoming. They had front and rear eating areas both nice. The tables and chairs were not uncomfortable and separated nicely. The noise was a little loud but maybe that's because we sat next to the bar. The service was perfectly attentive and helpful. We started with the warm antipasto. Baked claims were delicious. A little smallish but had a perfect amount of breadcrumbs and seasoned splendidly. The rice balls were so tender and mixed with delicious cheese. The shrimps were smallish but not disappointingly so. They too were delicious The calamari...there were no tentacles which to me is normally the sin qua non of pork anus being clandestinely used as a substitute for the calamari. Not here. The calamari was delicious! Lightly breaded and cooked perfectly. For my main meal, I asked for them to make me veal parmigiana. They obliged; and I was in heaven. The veal was tender and perfectly hugged by a toothsome crust. It was coated with some wonderful mozzarella cheese and baked marvelously until piping hot. So, there are no free lunches and the issue here was it was a very small portion two 3 inch medallions. I'm in a diet so was in mirthful glee because the small potion prevented me from over eating, but in all fairness...for an average diner with an above average appetite, consider a couple of appetizers or sides because there is a chance you might otherwise be less than satiated. BTW, pasta was a small portion too seemed like about a cup of food maybe one and a half. I was told the cannolis were delicious a perfect crisp shell and homemade cream! I am coming back. No doubt. The food was sooo good and the atmosphere and service amazing. As noted, I might get a salad course *and*appetizer course as well as a side *in addition to* the one that comes with the meal."

"My husband and I keep coming back to this delightful place despite many shortcomings. Let's get those out of the way first. Each meal comes with a visit to the salad bar. This comprises of a few very basic ingredients from which to choose and in our opinion is not worth the Villa's effort. Service is irregular. Often we have excellent servers who are attentive as well as in tune with serving protocol. Other times we have been served by hard working and well meaning wait staff who merely need a little training. WE also find the food irregular and my husband typically is more impressed than I. We agree that food quality can range from 2 to 4 stars. We prefer Villa Capri for lunch when casual dining is our preference. Admittedly we are latent restaurant alcoholics and the supply of brands of alchol available is very limited. Wine by the glass is available only by generic house wines which are mediocre however, wine by the bottle choices are far more extensive. BUT there is MUCH that elevates this as a dining experience here to a three, sometimes even 4+ star experience, depending upon the particular day or evening. The setting is absolutely gorgeous and the landscaping of the water view grounds is mature and well maintained. Outdoor dining is superior to most in the area as it is sectioned into a few different patio type areas with (night time) romantic lighting and spacious seating areas. One can order a beverage and stroll towards the water's edge while waiting for dinner or lunch to arrive. The inside dining area is also very attractive with window views of the water (Clear Lake) and grounds. Both the inside dining areas are clean and inviting. I'd say certainly give this independently owned and operated place a try! These are our opinions only and it is clear that they represent only our dining preferences."
