Gypsy's Trattoria Italiano

About

This Berkeley trattoria centers on the unpretentious, region-forward cooking of Italy—expect handmade pasta, wood-fired preparations, and a wine list that skews toward small producers and natural wines rather than safe choices. The kitchen respects Italian traditions without the fussy plating of fine dining, focusing instead on the kind of straightforward, ingredient-driven food you'd find in a Roman neighborhood osteria or Neapolitan pizzeria. Run independently, it operates on the philosophy that good Italian food doesn't need gimmicks: just technique, respect for ingredients, and the confidence to let them speak.
