👍👍 Extremely tasty Italian food. The menu isn’t pretentious and extremely hearty. It’s as if you’re eating at your friends places in Italy. The owner and the staff are the friendliest people ever. Great place for lunch, a dinner with your loved one or a group of friends. Good Italian wines, too. Always...

    Le Travi is one of the true gems of Vilnius restaurant scene. This place is the victim of its own success so make sure you take care of the reservation in advance. This charming Italian restaurant is famous for its utterly delicious homemade pasta and good selection of natural wines. Menu is changing all the time, but be assured every dish is an absolute hit! It's impossible to miss with any. We booked our table for 7pm on Sunday. Arrived on time, the restaurant was already full. Seemed like everyone was just waiting for us to start the dinner. Mattia, the owner welcomed everyone and announced the menu for tonight. Each day is a new story, seasonal and inspired by the current local food markets offering. Expect signature Carbonara often on the menu. I'm a wine geek and natural wines lover, so I happily flipped through the wine list full of natty gems. I picked beloved Clos Lentiscus Rose Brut Nature as a bubbly start. All dishes are awesomely tasty. I can't remember when was the last time I ordered the same main dish twice in the course of one dinner. Pappardelle with pork neck Ragu was mind-blowing and simply out of this world. So rich, deep with flavours, tender juicy, generous and with fantastic fresh pasta. My family enjoyed tongue with salsa Verde a lot!! Everything was great! We also had polenta with Gorgonzola, chicken liver pate served on focaccia with chili peppers. Tiramisu was very traditional and I particularly liked its espresso accent. Rustic interior amplifies the sensations as it matches well with the concept. Open kitchen, no fancy equipment, only essentials. So natural, nothing added, nothing masks the true soul of this place and the team behind it. Four people in the kitchen, including the owner. All working together, smiling, sipping the wine and filling the space with joyful vibes.

    I like this restaurant because the dishes were cooked elaborately and uniquely. But what there wasn't the grand menu in it was disappointing for me. At the restaurant, the menu seemed to change every day, if you have a particular menu you want to eat the day, you need to confirm before. In fact, I was a bit surprised because there were only small menus I could choose from.

    Lovely, small italian restaurant. The food is authentic, the menu is fresh and changed every day. Order more than one or even every starter to share, as you'll surely love them. The pasta and mains are incredible, the dessert as well. In the end add an espresso or limoncello and you're finished with your little trip to Italy.

    Authentic Italian family place. Food is good, and the menu change regularly. The pasta are some of the best you could get in Vilnius. I took some pasta with Ragu and really enjoyed it. The price is unfortunately not decent. I understand inflation, but pasta increased from ~10 euros to 15 euros in few month. The homemade wine cost 17euros for 0.5l. There is other Italian place where you could get better wine for almost twice the price. Other than the price, it’s a place your should definitely visit. But personally I will only go there occasionally because the price is not reasonable.

    The place is nice, but a bit underwhelming. For my taste, the snacks and desserts were just okay. However, the ravioli dish was indeed delicious. The atmosphere was not too cozy. The place was a bit too loud and hot. However, I would recommend trying at least once - for pasta.

    I’m Italian and this is the best restaurant if you want to taste the real Italian homemade cousine. I’m writing in English so anyone can understand! Mattia, the owner,is Italian so he knows what he’s doing. He is kind and friendly, he will feel you Iike at home! Menù change every day, but there are always gorgeous things to eat! The price is okay, it respects the price of the raw materials and the work of the chefs! YOU HAVE TO TRY IT💯🔝 On Friday there is a musician that play the accordion 🪗 that gives a fantastic atmosphere! Ciao Mattia, alla prossima, sei un grande 👊🏼💪🏽 Un saluto anche alla fantastica Alessia 😄

    A friend recommended this place and wow is all I can say. Small place but food and service was excellent. Party of three, we each ordered different entrees to share and all were amazing. Staff were helpful and awesome. Probably the best Italian food I had outside of Italy. Will definitely visit again.

    Authentic and romantic place. The owner is an Italian and offers the best pasta in Vilnius. Lots of attention to the ingredients which usually come from local farmers. Wide selection of natural wines and very interesting and unseen craft beers from Italy. The atmosphere is very friendly and hearty, you feel like at home. Very recommended!

  • 5/5 Chiara C. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Restaurant to say the least, delicious and beautiful even internally. I say right away that I recommend this place to everyone who wants to eat Italian. I can safely say that you can taste the real Italian cuisine, the traditional one cooked properly and with the right ingredients. The owner is very kind and immediately makes you feel at home; the cook, if I'm not mistaken, is Roman and prepares the dishes divinely. For appetizer I tried a focaccia with mortadella, pumpkin and pecorino really very good and with a combination of ingredients that I had never tried. First a cheese and pepper that maybe I didn't even eat in Rome. What to say? Go there absolutely and you won't regret it. (Original) Ristorante a dir poco buonissimo e bello anche internamente. Dico subito che consiglio questo posto a tutti coloro che vogliono mangiare italiano. Posso dire tranquillamente che si può gustare la vera cucina italiana, quella tradizionale cucinata come si deve e con i giusti ingredienti. Il proprietario è molto gentile e ti fa subito sentire a casa; la cuoca, se non sbaglio, è romana e prepara i piatti divinamente. Per antipasto ho provato una focaccia con mortadella, zucca e pecorino davvero buonissima e con un abbinamento di ingredienti che non avevo mai provato. Per primo una cacio e pepe che forse non ho mangiato così nemmeno a Roma. Che dire? Andateci assolutamente e non ve ne pentirete.

  • 5/5 Nanditha R. 10 months ago on Google • 182 reviews
    This one came recommended by a couple of locals that I met the previous day and I’m glad I got to try it after all. Some deliciously authentic Italian food, in refreshingly unique combinations and a good selection of natural wines from the region. Their menu changes every week and I got to try the spinach croquettes with fonduta, slices of home baked focaccia and pesto gnocchi, all along side a nice glass of the orange wine from Italy. Highly recommend if you’re visiting the city and looking for a good dinner option in the Uzupis district. The place is fairly small with limited seating so make that reservation particularly if you’re aiming for a weekend.

  • 5/5 Mindaugas V. 11 months ago on Google • 150 reviews
    The restaurant has a cozy and inviting atmosphere that was perfect for a night out with friends or a romantic dinner with a loved one. The Italian cuisine was simply amazing, and I particularly enjoyed the delicious appetisers that were served. The menu was presented to us by the friendly staff, who were more than happy to answer any questions we had about the dishes or make recommendations. The food, atmosphere, and service were all exceptional, and I cannot wait to return for another delicious meal. It's worth noting that place is a very popular, so if you're planning on dining here, it's a good idea to book in advance to ensure you get a table.

  • 3/5 Povilas B. 5 months ago on Google • 61 reviews
    The food is great, but there is a lot of issues regarding atmosphere of the place. First of all is the seating, tables are way to close to each other to enjoy private conversation. The amount of ventilation is also really not sufficient, one hour inside was enough for all our clothes to smell like we were cooking ourselves. Also the wine is great but overpriced.

  • 5/5 Yiannis B. 8 months ago on Google • 12 reviews
    Cozy little place to enjoy a selection of great wines and flavourful food at reasonable prices, run by warm and friendly team of people. Thanks Sasha and Daniel for the great supper.

  • 5/5 Donatas L. 2 years ago on Google
    Quite small but super cozy place where the Italian owner is always working on the floor. Everything we tried there was amazing! If you are looking for new things, try the orange wine, loved the history behind it.

  • 5/5 Nerijus M. 2 years ago on Google
    Italian place run by Italian in the heart of Vilnius. On our visit they offered a special menu prepared together with Spanish and American friends. My personal favorite was ravioli with sea bass (they should have that on a regular menu).

  • 3/5 Julius 4 years ago on Google
    Tasty italian pasta.

  • 5/5 rugile s. 4 years ago on Google
    Little piece of Italy in the heart of Uzupis: food, atmosphere itself, italians and coffee from bialleti moka! I will come back for sure! Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Michał S. 2 years ago on Google
    An absolutely amazing place...filled with joy, great people and food. Reserve a table! Or you will probably not be able to enjoy it. I got lucky 😉

  • 3/5 Marijus J. 2 years ago on Google
    Food is delicious, but we waited for ravioli and pasta more than 1 hour. Eco wine menu is not for everyone. Prices way too big for a BAR. You can't call this place a restaurant. 14 euros for ravioli with ricotta? Really?

  • 5/5 Asta S. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place to experience Italy in Vilnius. Amazing natural wines and fresh pasta. Don't miss the snacks too.

  • 2/5 Mind K. 2 years ago on Google
    I am not sure but it seems we were unlucky ones as we got really terrible food. The reviews are nice and we got recommendation for this place, but in reality it was disappointment. Carbonara's pork was burnt and impossible to crack, tiramisu probably worst i have ever tried. NEVER serve a dish if you already know it is failure, it leaves a bad mark for the house!

  • 5/5 Klaudia K. 1 year ago on Google
    Authentic Italian dishes with fresh, amazing ingredients, everything was super delicious! The service is friendly and makes you feel at home immediately. Wonderful selection of natural wines. Reservation is highly recommended. We will be back for sure. :)

  • 5/5 Egle S. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing place and people working there. 5 stars is not enough to describe it. Food so good you want to do a little dance while eating it. Great natural wine list. Quality small producers that are hard to find and you suddenly find it all in one place here. We came and did not want to leave, we just ordered more food to extend the food and wine experience. Already looking forward to our next visit to Lithuania and Le Travi :) They display a lot of wines on the restaurant walls so it is very exciting picking and pointing, but when ordering a bottle - it will come perfectly tempered from the wine fridge ❤️

  • 5/5 Petrulis 1 year ago on Google
    Great Italian food, prepared fresh right in front of you. A small place, but can feel like at home. Owner is always there, present and alhas a lot of knowledge about natural wines they serve. Reserve upfront as it's a small place. Also keep in mind that there's a 2 hour limit per group of people.

  • 4/5 Marina B. 1 year ago on Google
    Even though we had some problems in the beginning (like lack of chairs or a broken table), I enjoyed a lot, because I finally found a perfect pasta with pesto! Also we were surprised by an orange wine there, because looks like it is very unusual thing for Vilnius:) definitely recommend it!

  • 5/5 luca V. 1 year ago on Google
    Original Italian restaurant, the real "soul" of Italy. The food it's amazing like at home with mum. If you serch luxury place for eat please go away, it's not a place for you. I m sorry for picture but my friend eat almost all "ravioli di zucca" before making picture.

  • 5/5 Viktorija B. 11 months ago on Google
    The place was very vibrant and most of the people we saw were foreigners, so we felt like we had travelled somewhere south. The pasta and other ingredients were fresh, best pasta I had in Vilnius. The waiters were also very nice, always asking whether we liked the food. It is a bit of a pricier place as dishes aren't big.

  • 5/5 Jelena B. 8 months ago on Google

    It was a pleasure to be back. As always, food was super delicious! Zucchini flowers and raviolo - wow!! Also, the waiter was super nice and friendly! Compliments to the boy! The only small negative thing was the volume of the music. It was a bit too loud:) However, overall experience was excellent and we will back!

  • 5/5 Rene I. 3 years ago on Google
    Super authentic and by authentic I mean the pasta tastes like it Italy. Meaning it is prepared by a real italian, from Genoa. Haven’t had pasta like this outside of Italy and that’s saying a lot. Atmosphere is wonderful too. Upscale bohemian and cozy. Great friendly service. Just a wonderful even regardless who your with.

  • 5/5 Matt D. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 SPErickson 3 years ago on Google
    The cacio e pepe was flawless. Tasted just like it does in Rome. Very nice wine list. This place is doing in right. Small intimate atmosphere with a nice focused menu. Simple, no frills, well made, Italian food. The way it should be. This is as close to Italy as you’ll get in Lithuania. Happy it’s here. We will certainly return!

  • 2/5 Sergi S. 4 years ago on Google
    Cannot say that this place is upscale or unique per se. Nice couple operating Italian meals. But, table/chairs might be definitely improved from bare wood planks. Menu is absent and only about 10 items are inscribed on the wall with chalk. No photos or down to earth explanations what is that. More like a guess game. I would say it’s ok place if you are a big Italian fan, but definitely not worth EUR 35 price tag for dinner Vilnius has much more to offer for 1/3 of this price.

  • 4/5 Milda K. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A special place and a very nice staff, the guy working in the hall told us about each dish from the menu. Dishes prepared in the presence of visitors. The legendary carbonara had a very rich taste, though a bit too hard on a hot summer day. Cons - very uncomfortable to sit bench. (Original) Ypatinga vieta ir labai malonus personalas, salėje dirbantis vaikinas papasakojo apie kiekvieną patiekalą iš meniu. Patiekalai ruošiami lankytojų akivaizdoje. Legendinė carbonara buvo itin sodraus skonio, nors kiek per sunki karštą vasaros dieną. Minusas - labai nepatogus sėdėti suolas.

😐 The staff was not friendly and seemed very unprofessional. I had to wait for at least 20 minutes before I placed my order, and the restaurant was not busy at all. Had to draw attention to myself to finally place an order. The food was mediocre, not worth the money. It was not served as described...
