I had the misfortune of seeing this production and all I can say is, any positive review on here will be fake. The acting, camera work, non- stop laugh track etc were all hideous. Anyone involved should be ashamed of themselves, especially seeing real actors taking part. How and why Doris Roberts and Robert Loggia ever agreed to sully their names and legacy with garbage like this is a total mystery. One can only assume that they had no idea what they were signing up for and they were told it would be a professional production. It looks as though it was filmed through the bottom of a dirty glass. If there is a hell, this is what they show 24/7.

Great Show!!!

I don't know what this last reviewer is talking about, what show was he/she watching? I think La Trattoria, is a fresh approach to a sitcom, it's something new with a reality feel to it and I thought it was funny. I would like to see more of it. What can I say, I liked it, I thought the scenario and storyline was pretty good. Maybe it's not as slick as some of the American sitcoms, but I think it's intentional, to make it feel like you're in the moment. And criticizing great actors like Doris Roberts and Robert Loggia for being in this show is crazy. These actors have been around for a long time, they get a lot of scripts sent to them, I'm sure they are selective of the projects they work on, and they select the projects they like and feel have potential to be good for them and that's what they did with La Trattoria.
Very funny!

I watched La Trattoria, the new sitcom last Saturday night on City TV. It was very very funny, I hope it continues as a regular every Saturday night. it was funny as hell. This could be Doris Robert's next big weekly sitcom. For a Canadian production it was really good and made me laugh my face off. Tony Rosato is hysterically funny as the chef, reminds me of the role he used to play or Saturday Night Live. Frank D'Angelo is very good as well as the lead character. Tony Nardi is a natural, as well as Michael Pare and Maria del Mar. We have so many great comedians that came out of Canada, now we can finally say that there is a Canadian sitcom that we can be proud of too.
