Sometime you gotta revisit multiple times during the year to see if they are good at all season thoughout the year. Trattoria trippa didn’t let me down even on hard season like winter
I think most of the winter food kinda uninspiring in Italy, since lot of them prefer to cook simple and mostly are root vegetables and they tend to be drenched in oil and under seasoned.
But chef Diego made everything enjoyable. I really like when I find a dish that is something I would never see in California and most of the dish in trippa is very European soul feeling dishe.
Due to season all dishes almost give French food feeling.
Chef was in the house, surprisingly he speak English so good as he lived in state,
He is trying to do the haute cuisine in his style not fine dining.
He wants to be sexy and chic with his food but deep down he wants his food to be italian nonna food as well.
I would love to collab with him in the future, such a passionate and energetic chef.
Food was incredible last time but when chef is in the house, food screams in trippa kinda vibe lol
Fried tripe was even better, every bite had right amount salt, pepper, rosemary and tripe was airy and 0 chew (last time thick part was little chewy but this time just disappear like wafer)
Couldn’t get their famous vitello tonnato before but now I did. I can see why people love it but it’s really vitello tonnato well made. Not totally different from classic. But me and my mom really enjoyed with glass of white wine.
Forgot which root vegetable but it was paired with black truffle and cheese fondue and some kinda citrus kick. Very nicely balanced and not boring or one dimension. Tasty 
Highlight of the night Raddichio
Paired with quinces, cultured cream? Yogurt? I don’t know… With radicchio cooked little past al dente. Only Raddichio I liked it was when the restaurant from the meadowood in Sonoma was still opened before fire. This is not like that kind of vibe but very rustic but elegantly composed flavor. I wonder if you go arpege in Paris, vegetable dish would taste like this.
Chef is really funny and nice. Should talk to him if you see him
Excellent vongole. Funny thing is I wanted to find the best vongole from Italy so I was eating lot in southern Italy, I found the best one here at north lol
No need explanation. So good. I think this time broth and butter and cheese was more tightly harmonious than last time. Incredible
favorite panna cotta of my life
some trattoria, pizzeria. Restaurants are little up and down but trattoria trippa is confirmed really good on second time.
they didn’t know I’m probangbanger
