BROTHER TRATTORIA – Italian
South Tampa on MacDill Avenue, doors at four, wood-burning oven already hot. Ashton and Joel Sanchez named the trattoria for the youngest in the family and cook Italian without shortcuts: pastas made in house as spaghetti carbonara, rigatoni alla Norma, pappardelle Bolognese, bucatini all'amatriciana and four different gnocchi. Pizzas leave the wood oven as margherita, quattro formaggi, burrata, carnivora and ortolana. Start with vongole, polpette della casa or calamari, then move on to pollo marsala, vitello alla parmigiana or scampi limone. Creme brulee and a limoncello cake close it. Seasonal cocktails, an evening room, and no lunch service at all.
