Magdalena’s

"Magdalena's restaurant exceeded all my expectations with its fresh and tasty food. This was my second visit. The atmosphere was inviting and the ambience truly delightful and cozy. I highly recommend dining here, for the fantastic wine selection, food, pizza and desserts. The Branzino fish dish was fresh and very flavorful. As a baker I’m rarely impressed with most restaurants desserts. Magdalena’s has the best dessert and I can’t wait to try them all. Loved the Tiramisu! The highlight for me was the authentic pizza oven in the front, adding to the charm of the place. A must-visit for any food enthusiast that is looking for a high quality dining experience!"

"Great new surprise in West U. We’ve been watching this go up in the Pei Wei space in the Kroger Center. I saw the announcement article in the Chronicle and went in on a very early evening on a Saturday and sat at the bar. The space is beautiful. Tan leather booths and a beautiful white granite bar. With a very friendly bartender who was helpful with the menu. The menu is traditional Italy. Items like fried artichokes, pasta carbonara, and branzino. I’ll post the menu. I had the fried artichokes, the truffle risotto, and the lemon dessert. It was all really really good. A lovely meal. This place is going to be popular."

"Made a reservation with a group of 6 adults and a baby, which they accommodated very well. Spacious with somewhere between a casual-nice atmosphere. Food was great. Pizza has that really nice almost chewy doughy crust you’d expect from a wood-fired oven. To share, we ordered four pizzas, two salads, and one pasta. The only thing I would’ve liked was if the salads came out first sonce they brought them all out at the same time, but no big deal. I think every single waiter came to our table to assist so it’s nice they all work as a team. By 7:30 or so, the whole restaurant was packed including the VERY cute bar area that is located in the center of the restaurant. Definitely coming back."

"I had a fantastic experience at Magdalena's Trattoria! The exceptional service, led by Chef Nicolas personally greeting us, added a personal touch. The food quality was outstanding, especially the wood oven-made pizza. Located in the vibrant West University area, it's a must-visit spot for anyone seeking great Italian cuisine in a wonderful setting."

"Stopped by this new restaurant for dinner on Sunday with my parents. The staff was welcoming and friendly, the pizza was excellent and came straight from the pizza oven. The desserts were great, especially the tiramisu! We'll be back to try other items on the menu. Stylish space with nice looking bar in the middle."
