Trattorias - Western restaurant in Varkala - Thiruvananthapuram, India

I recently dined at Trattorias in Varkala, and my experience left me with mixed feelings. We chose the rooftop seating option, which provided a pleasant atmosphere and a nice view. One of the first things that stood out was the pricing. Trattorias is on the expensive side, which can be a concern for budget-conscious diners. However, we decided to give it a try. For our meal, we ordered the Lasagne with eggplant, mushroom, and capsicum, as well as a virgin pina colada. Unfortunately, the pina colada was a major letdown. It was essentially plain pineapple juice, which doesn't align with the authentic preparation of a pina colada. This was a significant disappointment, and it felt like a waste of money. On the other hand, the lasagne was a redeeming aspect of our dining experience. While it wasn't the absolute best I've ever had, it was certainly above average in taste and quality. The service at Trattorias was quick and efficient, which was a positive aspect of the experience. Additionally, they have a spacious seating area, which is great for accommodating larger groups.

I just wanted something light for dinner (after a heavy banana leaf fish lunch ;) and just wanted to relax. The music and ambience caught my eyes along with the excellent beach view that this place has to offer. The staff is well mannered and got my order of a mixed fruit pancake and a cold coffee with icecream, which I thoroughly enjoyed. And now I want to chill here for a while watching the moon light and enjoy the sound of the ocean with the lovely music.

One of the best sea food cafe in Varkala. Their Tandoori Calamari is to die for. Fresh seafood that ll leave you wanting for more and more. The place is a bit pricy but you can't complain after tasting their food. The ambience is good since it's sea facing but they can work on their furniture and interior. And as every other cafe in Varkala, the service is late so you have to wait. The place is mostly overcrowded and I can't blame them why. Loved the food.

Loved the place , we ordered Chicken momos and Lasagna, it was delicious. The vibe from here is really good, you get the view of the sea . Plus the staff was also a polite . Overall good

We had a great experience at this restaurant. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. We especially enjoyed the momos and the stir-fry dishes. The prices were also very reasonable. The view of the ocean was also breathtaking. We would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious meal with a stunning view

Visited this place for breakfast 2 days back. The ambiance is great and it's clean. However the food was a big disappointment! Ordered baked potatoes , mushroom cheese omelette and a cold coffee. The potatoes lacked flavour and any spice or even salt for that matter, they looked partially fried and then baked. The cold coffee was decent. The cheese in the omelette had plastic bits if the cheese wrapper in it! There were 2-3 bits that I came across, and the egg was over cooked! Highly disappointed that the basics were bad!

Good food with good taste and hygienic preparation. View is mesmerising and staff are very humble. We had cheese tomato sandwich and mixed fruit Porridge for brekafast, it was amazing. But their cold coffee is disappointing. Go there for food(especially breakfast) and hot coffee(cappuccino) but avoid mock tails and cold coffee.

Finding truly exceptional cuisine in Varkala can be a bit of a challenge. Many cafes in the area tend to overprice while serving average food. It's not uncommon to spot cafes with high ratings simply due to a scarcity of standout options. This particular cafe is one of them, their pizzas was a disappointment so does their pastas. Giving 2 stars just for of the good atmosphere.
