Before there was a dining room, there was a farm. Mario and Laura grew produce, tended animals, made cheese, preserved their harvest, and produced wine on their California farm and vineyard. That way of life carried forward what had been learned by growing up around Nonno and Nonna, where working with the land and preparing food were simply part of everyday life. Today, Trattoria di Bernardone, an Italian restaurant in Saint Johns, carries that history into the kitchen through pasta fresca, generational recipes, seasonal ingredients, and time-honored culinary methods. The experience reaches beyond the plate, too. Music, artwork, The Piazza, arches, and rustic yet elegant architectural details recall an Italian villa in the countryside, while occasional live music and cocktails in the piano bar add another dimension to a visit. It all comes together as a personal expression of their heritage, their love of food, and the pleasure of welcoming guests through the doors.
At Nonno and Nonna's home, there was always enough for whoever came through the door. That sense of hospitality carries naturally into birthdays, business functions, and reunions. Mario's Traditional Lasagna, Baked Mushrooms, Chicken Parmigiana, and Tiramisu bring different parts of the meal together, backed by attentive service throughout the occasion. Plan your catering with us today.
A celebration feels different when your group has space to settle in. The banquet hall welcomes milestone moments, business functions, and festive get-togethers, while private booths, angled walls, niches, and tucked-away corners offer added separation. The atmosphere is designed to draw you closer, rekindle romance, and give the occasion room to unfold in the spirit of La Dolce Vita, The Sweet Life. Tell us what you have in mind and start planning your celebration.
Looking for a place that feels warm and classy, with just the right touch of festive energy? Mario and Laura designed the space with intimacy in mind, giving conversation a chance to take center stage. Choose outdoor seating or settle in with a craft cocktail, while the piano bar and occasional live music add character to the experience. Come with family and friends, enjoy kindhearted hospitality, and reinvigorate your love affair with food.
Fresh pasta and cooking surrounded Mario long before these doors opened. That history continues across the menu today. Mario's Traditional Lasagna offers a fitting place to start, alongside Housemade Gnocchi and Rigatoni Bolognese, with Cannoli for something sweet.

You can definitely tell the food is made from scratch everything was fresh and delicious! 🤤 I got the chicken Marsala (which I demolished) my husband got the rigatoni al la vodka & my daughter got the cheese pizza. Everyone loved their meal 10/10 we'll definitely be back!
Fantastic food, service, and environment. Best home made pasta I have had in a long time and the staff truly makes you feel at home. I haven't had pasta like this in a very long time
Delicious. The parsley was so fresh and it was the garnish on the plate. The chicken was tender. Big shrimp. Very happy. No long wait to be seated or to be served.
My wife wanted Italian food so Trattoria we went. I ordered the Spaghetti Pomodoro with meatballs added, and it arrived piping hot—perfect for the chilly weather. The meatballs were absolutely delicious. I finished off the meal with a smooth, comforting cup of cappuccino, which was the perfect way to end the experience. Great service too!
