Traverna is a warm & inviting neighborhood restaurant serving fresh caught seafood, a refreshing cocktail or the best Italian food including pizza from the wood burning oven. Highly recommend the Tortino Al Cioccolato, chocolate cake with warm chocolate center served with vanilla gelato. They usually have live entertainment on Saturday nights which makes it even a better choice for dinner.
