Trattorias in Italy are a family style, casual dining establishment usually owned by a family which serves traditional comfort food. Rosemary Trattoria, recently opened on Orange Avenue, achieves that definition with a variety of traditional dishes that have been received very well by the community. In fact the comments flying around town are very positive describing Rosemary as serving “good food.”
Owner/Chef Alejandro “Alex” Martinez has captured the homemade food style trend with dishes like chicken parmigiana, lasagna and pizzas. Rosemary Trattoria replaced Fonda Don Diego, a Mexico City style restaurant Martinez opened two years ago. Martinez, who is also part-owner of Chez Loma with Coronado couple Andres and Lorena Girault for the past seven years, wasn’t always planning on being chef and a restaurateur.
