About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for fine wines
La Traviata is an Italian restaurant with an interesting background. Owner Zef Shilaku has a deep and abiding passion for the opera, and so he let that love guide the creation of his restaurant. La Traviata is named after a well-known opera and the restaurant is decorated to subtly pay homage to art form. In addition to the soft opera music that plays throughout the restaurant, La Traviata has played host to entire opera cast parties, as well as famed operatic celebrities like Pavoratti and Carol Van Ness. The food at La Traviata is wholly Italian. In addition to pasta options like carbonara, putanesca and funghi there are specialties of the house that include a tortellini alla romana, lasagna, and a melanze alla vaness with layered eggplant, mozzerella, parmesan and tomato sauce. La Traviata of course also carries a large selection of fine Italian wines as well.

    This is my favorite Italian place in San Francisco. The owners are lovely and the food is amazing. The atmosphere is also spectacular. Been going here for years!

    The absolute worse restaurant I have ever been to!! One waitress for entire dining room who didn't even take orders...the owner did. Both never spoke to customers, even in the slightest manner. No service at table for long periods of time between servings. Orders at most tables were messed up. I never got the soup I ordered, and an adjacent table got their entre before their appetizer. Several other customers had to get up and approach the owner regarding when the food would be served. So sad! Ridiculously bad restaurant. Italians would never behave this way. I'm from North End in Boston...this restaurant was a disgrace. I believe it is owned by a Russian family. Oh, and dishes were chipped and not replaced.
