I was a first time visitor at Traverso’s. I ordered the shrimp scampi and it was phenomenal.
This used to be the best restaurant. Haven't been here in a while and then I went back and was very disappointed.

“The most amazing gluten free options I’ve ever tasted.”
The most amazing gluten free options I’ve ever tasted. My sister has celiac but I don’t normally like the taste/texture of gluten free options this food was so amazing you couldn’t tell. We had fried calamari, garlic bread and spaghetti carbonara. I could eat my weight in the garlic bread!

We were greeted warmly and service was good, an other nice thing I noticed is that after each party they clean everything on the table. Our french onion soup was one of the best I had and salmon was nicely done. I had high expectations for the cheese cake as well however it was not dense like I am used to but my daughter loved it. We will definitely visit Traverso's again.

Loved the relaxed vibe! The service was amazing and this gnocchi was just as amazing as what I had recently on our trip to Rome! 😋🤎

We've been having family get togethers here since 1993. The all you can eat pizza parties are fantastic!! You can't beat the price. Paul and Mike are always a pleasure to work with. The staff is very attentive. The warm bread served with dinner is delicious. Their gnocchi is also one of my favorites.

“What a nice dinner experience.”
What a nice dinner experience. From the server to the food we loved the evening. Wonderful soup and fresh crispy salads. I am not a wings person, but these were recommended, and we were bowled over. Great flavor, not overwhelming and crispy juicy heaven. Enough sauce to dip our bread in. The pizza here is outstanding. Warm thin crust with fresh ingredients. Tasty sauce and just the right amount of heaping cheese. The sausage was plentiful and tasted butcher shop fresh. One of the best pies I have had bar none. 🏆 Now the ravioli was obviously hand made that day. Melt in your mouth pasta shell like I’ve never had before. What a delight. This is not your average kitchen, but an extension of this family’s home. The server was attentive and over performed to our every need. The manger checked on us with true intent. Not the usual rhetorical visit. Great job team. 👏

“We went here for graduation dinner.”
We went here for graduation dinner. Smelled amazing and looked fancy. We had fettuccine Alfredo, chicken Marsala, chicken Parmesan. Large portion sizes. We took lots of food for left overs. The margarita was actually a bit on the strong side so even better! $9.50 for margarita (medium size) and $23-$24 for the rest of the dishes. We also had mozzarella sticks as a appetizer for $14. Very friendly staff
