Introduce your live-in hunger to the pollo alla boscaiola ($20.95), where tender chicken bathes in an elixir of marsala sauce, prosciutto, and mozzarella, or absorb the tagliatelle della nonna ($16.95) pasta paired with homemade bolognese sauce.

Murals by local artist Kim Salander create the impression of eating at a cozy waterfront restaurant in Portofino that also happens to be full of murals of water.
Reviews
Norwalk’s the Hour featured La Villa Trattoria. Four TripAdvisors give it an average of four owl eyes.
- Homemade traditional Italian food isn’t the only thing on this Westport restaurant’s menu. Customers will also find a family-owned atmosphere with the realistic feel of Italy, too. – Lisa Fiore, Hour
- We often included it in our rotation, especially now that it is back in its original location. The food is even better and the little extras that they give you are a very nice touch. – ctblondie, TripAdvisor

About La Villa Trattoria
Inspired by his upbringing in southern Italy, La Villa Trattoria chef Michael Sornatale crafts a rotating menu of seasonally inspired fare with free-range and organic ingredients. Unexpected combinations of simple ingredients, such as white-wine sauce and hot cherry peppers on the pollo e salsiccia scarpariello, give his traditional Italian dishes a creative verve. Sornatale also strives to incorporate less common tastes, including wild game such as roe deer and rabbit, without diminishing the accessibility of his menu. Chefs also concoct low-fat and heart-healthy items, and provide a list of Italian wines carefully selected to complement each entree.
At lunchtime, La Villa Trattoria’s dining area fills with natural light softly diffused with sheer, white curtains. Artist Kim Salander’s murals of the small Italian fishing village of Portofino combine with ambient fog horns to create a seaside ambiance indoors.
