La Trattoria da Caetano is located at 2152 Main Street in Dunedin Florida and it was our destination for dinner last night. I had heard about this little restaurant before and wanted to finally see for myself what all the talk was about.
La Trattoria da Caetano does not advertise at all! The restaurant has been open for over twenty years and it is through referrals that they built their clientele. They also have no menu and the dishes vary from night to night. The owner comes to your table with a cart containing samples of all of the cuts of meat and seafood that they are offering that evening. He discusses options on how it can be prepared and then it is made. Since there is no menu, you have no idea of the price in advance but I found that it was reasonably priced for the type of special restaurant that it obviously is. Open seven days a week (Monday through Saturday from 5 pm to 9:30 pm, I am not sure of the Sunday hours but know it begins at noon), you need to check out La Trattoria da Caetano but if you are a larger party, I do suggest calling in advance and making reservations.
I had a filet mignon with angel hair pasta that had bay scallops, shrimp and crab pieces in it. I am not sure but I think it was Amaretto that I tasted in the sauce. The entire thing was wonderful! Ronnie had chicken served in white wine with a side dish of pasta with homemade sauce. The presentation is unique and something you should indeed experience.
See you at La Trattoria da Caetano on Main Street, just west of Belcher in the Coastal Shopping Center, in beautiful Dunedin Florida for a dining experience that you are sure to enjoy!
Just one more thing that makes Dunedin Florida such a wonderful place to live and play here on Florida's Suncoast!
