Trattoria

am tempted to keep it in Italian. When I lived Italy they served the same food as restaurants but were less expensive and had no (or only a small) cover charge. Explain it's a type of Italian restaurant.

I sort of assumed it was for Italy-but could be wrong. when I studied in Italy, I never went to a restaurant-just the cover charge was too much.
agree Valentina Pecchiar : with Manuela. Moreover, I've seen Trattorias (little homey Italian restaurants) all over the world
1 hr
for sure they are everywhere (in NYC too). they are cosier and less formal than restaurants, ma come si mangia bene!!!
agree Jane Griffiths (X) : Lots of friendly little Italian restaurants in the UK are also called trattorias. So yes, if it's a specifically Italian restaurant.

Peer comment(s):
neutral writeaway : no-as I explained it's not the same as a ristorante-it's more casual and less expensive
2 mins
with no context, I'm not so sure the distinction makes a difference. Casual restaurant might work, And in some contexts trattoria, but the asker would have to let us know the situation.....
agree Michael Powers (PhD) : In some of the definitions I found of "trattoria" the word "restaurant" is listed as a synonym. - Mike :)
23 mins
agree Jane Griffiths (X) : If it isn't specifically Italian. To me "restaurant" doesn't imply as much formality as "ristorante". But maybe you could add an adjective to make the type of restaurant clear, if you choose it.
1 hr
agree Nancy Arrowsmith : agree with Jane. Trattorie are an option in Italy, but not necessarily anywhere else. Do you want AE or BE? The context decides between restaurant and trattoria!

Have you see the 904 hits of "eating house" with "dictionary", and the definition in which they refer to a place where food is cooked and sold? I agree it is not as common as "trattoria", which is why I gave both options.
neutral Marian Greenfield : maybe lots of hits on Google, but I don't think eating house would be recognized as English, at least not American English....
13 mins
I agree. That's why I gave the second option, "trattoria", which is the option I have always heard. - Mike :)

Typical restaurant

Nothing to do with cheap eating, it can be expensive as well...
It is a restaurant that serves typical and home made food, has local wine etc...
