Trattoria at Tredethy House in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

We really enjoyed our Dinner. It was during the week with three choices to start and for the main course. Beautifully cooked using fresh and local fare.

A charming hotel & a even more charming dining room. A short menu- means that you are more likely to get fresh food & it certainly was. Fresh, simple & tasty- what more could you want. Organic wine. Not over-priced.

The trattoria is run by Marco the owner of the hotel. But if he does not feel like cooking, it is non-existent. We had some risotto al funghi. Not very goog cooked, and two mushrooms were on the plate. Rather visit the pub 1,5 km up the road.

Nos dijeron que no había instalaciones de comedor. Que no era lo que se está mostrando en el sitio web o cuando reservamos en línea.

No nos decepcionó. . . Trattoria, encontramos enteramente por error! Después de conducir largo serpentea hacia bastante carriles rurales Cornwall, primera impresión es la que cuenta como empezamos a conducir son recibidos con una casa muy elegante, con césped y bosques, lleno de perfume embriagador y una festividad de Bluebells Campion de red. Un sueño para los amantes de la naturaleza o palet suave de un artista - trae a la mente visiones de la elegancia de 1920 y quizás se perdona en el pensamiento del sur de Francia, en sueño hecho lejos de verano en Lecce sur de Italia! No habíamos reservado a una llamada de teléfono con antelación. No importa; nos dieron una cálida bienvenida por el propietario, Director, Gerente, Chef y estoy seguro de un millón de otros títulos sería adecuado para Marcus; nuestro anfitrión italiano efervescente. Sentado, elegimos desde un pequeño pero cuidadosamente elegido bien menú vegetariano de comida tradicional italiana. Comida sencilla, sin necesidad de ser vestidos con pompa y postura, pero sin la necesidad de disculparse, ligero y delicioso, fresco y sabroso. Marcus es el principal de la entrega de alimentos campesina con una imitación de la simplicidad que es honesto. Y esa es la razón por la que los italianos viven más - nuestro arboles campos no sentarse como bolas de plomo pesado en nuestra panza. Acabamos la noche con un Chardonnay, café en el bar y de la conversación con el dueño, Marcus que te hacía sentir bienvenido, no sólo a sus negocios, pero en su casa. No me arrepiento en recomendar Trattoria para aquellos que quieren algo un poco diferente que el típico pub que está en esta zona. Un entorno elegante, agradable, limpio, con comida peculiar y honesto.

Excellent Host and Excellent House. We both visited Tredethy House for 3 nights over the Easter Weekend. Marco welcomed us both on arrival and showed us to our fantastic room with stunning views of Bodmin Moor from our window. We stayed and enjoyed a three course meal on the first night which was cooked and presented lovely. The continental breakfast was presented nicely with lots of choice of food. Overall the stay was fantastic and value for money. We will definitely return to Tredethy House next time we are in the area.

I was stopping here and Marco offered to cook me a meal even though they dont serve food during the week.He cooked me a mushroom ravioli dish which was fantastic.Nothing was too much trouble.Great place.

Our Saturday evening was finished off with a taste of Italy in the Trattoria at Tredethy. Fresh bread with olives and bresaola was a tasty start and we both loved the fresh pasta. A bottle of Nero d'avola and Italian ice cream finished the meal beautifully.

Comfortable place to stay, food was cooked to order and very tasteful Grounds were lovely only wish we stayed longer

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay In this beautiful setting with a wonderful house with caring owner. We were well looked after. We look forward to returning in the future and sampling the food as well. A very special place.

Small party of 7 for an evening meal, which was delicious. All food was prepared fresh and was very more-ish! Lovely, comfortable surroundings including an open fireplace in the dining area.

The restaurant was closed for the winter, but the owner (Marco) offered us a pasta meal that we couldn't refuse. He cooked sea bass ravioli. I have never had fish in pasta, but this was a superb dish. He started us of we bresaola and concluded with cheesecake. There was a lovely wood fire roaring in the background. A very unique and special experience - Loved it.

We were staying in this lovely hotel, decided to have dinner that night, and while the choice was limited, and quantities not huge, it was absolutely delicious, and very good value. And the hosts are charming and friendly .. thank you !

Having selected this place via the internet, on our arrival we found it to be a large rambling house in very pleasant grounds. Whether it was end of season and most of the tourist had gone, we found it empty and lacking atmosphere, the room was standard but clean and we were only sleeping there, breakfast was continental which was fine but you had to order the night before if you wanted a full english breakfast, which wasn't explained to us on our arrival. The house appeared to have no or very little heating on in the main parts of the building either, so didn't make you want to spend any time relaxing in the lounges. But I guess in the height of summer and more guests it might have been a different story.

Great homemade Italian style food. Pity its only available on Saturday & Sunday evenings. Will always remember the food, the Tagliatelli and Gnocci were just exqquisite.

Simple but delicious Italian food. Great service, reasonably priced. Good wine. Would definitely recommend to anyone. Will be going back soon.

Nothing to dislike at all with this eatery, all the food was home prepared to order and is very fresh, limited menu not a problem when the food is as good as thisWill certainly return to this hotel and restaurant again!

Marco and Christina can cook in true Italian/Sicilian fashion, to not enjoy it would be sacrilege! Homemade pasta, gnocchi with pesto... Need l say more to get the juices flowing? Try for yourselves and be in the bosom of people who enjoy all they do.

We travelled from Truro to the Trattoria at Tredethy House for a meal because we love simple, authentic Italian food. The setting is lovely, the ambience relaxed and casual and the food delicious. Next time I think we will make a night of it and book a meal and a room so that we can share a bottle of wine.

Meal was of the highest quality, we liked it. Because it was prepared by the owners using local produce

Simple but tasty set menu- reasonable at £16.50 for two courses £19.50 for three and extremely handy if you are staying as it is in the middle of nowhere!

We have been at Trattoria every time we go to Cornwall and we will always go back for a delicious fresh a-la-carte menu and the lovely company of chef and owner Marco!

It was not clear when this restaurant opened at all, even though we were residents. There was a limited menu and no provision for children.

Beautifully presented food as good as you get in Italy, it was perfect.Try the fresh figs with honey or the panne cotte simply delicious

Tattoria - Tredethy House in house restaurant. Fabulous food. Organic and fresh. A delight to book in for. We stayed at Tredethy house for the most fabulous holiday bresk, given more time we would of stayed alot longer! The restaurant is open on Friday and Saturday evenings so we booked in for Friday. The menu is beautiful - Full Italian with English translation if any doubt!Our food was freshly prepared with the finest ingredients and the pasta freshly made by hand stuffed with spinach and cheese, flavoursome. The other dish my partner chose was with pumkin and was drizzled with sage butter - so delicious. Deserts - strawberries, honey and clotted cream and the other figs italian cheese peaches and honey. Sublime! We enjoyed this so much, a true taste of Italy from those in the know! Again we recommend going there as open to outside bookings. A treat of Italian spice. Served by kind a courteous, informative people. Thankyou.

I find salad boring, so was not prepared for the taste experience of my first course of Insalata di Pomodoro, but these multi colured jewels were delicious! We enjoyed a truly tasty, simply cooked meal, evidently created with real love. A small menu often boasts carefully chosen and well cooked ingedients. This small menu broadcasts that message loudly!

A taste of old Scicily in the heart of old Cornwall. A real Italian family ambiance. The taste tells you that this is very freshest of locally sourced produce cooked with the love & attention that can only come from a chef dedicated to pleasing friends and family. Mama must be somewhere (if not in person) in that kitchen. Fantastico!

My partner and I visited the Trattoria on the final night of a week's stay in the area and were treated to some of the best home cooked Italian food we've ever had. At £22 for three courses excluding drinks this seemed like incredible value. The restaurant is only open two nights a week at present and is contained within the fabulous setting of Tredethy House - a lovely Baroque/Georgian country mansion (which apparently was home to Prince Chula Chakrabongse of Siam in the 1930s and 1940s) set in several acres of rambling grounds near St Mabyn. The current owners run the place as a sort of boutique country hotel and double as chefs on the nights the restaurant is open. The dining room is very small and as a result has an atmosphere more of being a guest in someone's home than a restaurant. The food was vegetarian but even as a dyed-in-the-wool carnivore I really didn't miss the meat! The menu consisted of two choices per course - I had local asparagus with quail's eggs followed by home made ravioli stuffed with artichoke hearts and pecorino, and finished with pannacotta in strawberry coulis. Unlike the unfortunate experience of the other reviewer I read on this website, I found the host Marco to be charming and he took time to chat to us and show us round the house (which he is obviously quite passionate about) after we had eaten. I thoroughly recommend it as a most enjoyable and quite unique dining experience.

We ate here in may 2011. The food was gorgeous, just brilliant. Service was friendly & helpful. The food was all very tasty & fresh, all cooked to perfection! Pasta was the best I have ever eaten & the panna cotta was just amazing! The organic, local & fresh ingredients along with talented cooking make for a brilliant meal!!! The wines served are also organic & delicious!!!! Brilliant evening, just very lovely!!! Great service, amazing food, good wine & the hotel is a gorgeous setting! Would definitely recommend!!!

This looks the part and is in a lovely area beacuse I live near....however the owner is so rude it is almost impossibe to put into words.Basically they had booked in too many people,they are greedy and thus the quality of the service and food is just not up to the money you pay.I complained that a.Part of the actual recipe was missing- he agreedb.The new potatoes where like rocks- he agreedc.He had booked in too many people- he agreedThen he said... yes you will not belive it .."I do not care "I thus refused to pay for my dish but agreed to pay the rest of my £40.00 per head bill for my family.He is not a nice person and once he realised I was local he started to try and be professional- however if you are reading this Mr Owner it was tool late...DO NOT EAT HERE.
