What's the story with the new Trattoria in Lincoln Square?

There's a new italian restaurant in lincoln square where GP Franklins used to be. I couldn't read the sign as I drove past the intersection of Western/Lawrence. All I saw was Tratorria T....and couldn't read the rest of the word.

Anyone know when (or if) it's already open?

Trattoria Trullo. I don't know if it's open.

See this recent thread.

Not open. But getting very close, judging by my walk past this afternoon.

Trattoria Trullo used to be located next to the (now defunct) movie theater on Central Avenue in Evanston, more or less across from Dyche Stadium. My Italian-from-Milan neighbors used to prefer this place to any dining destination in Evanston, and my Italian-American neighbors of Barese extraction loved it, too. I recall some very good meals there, particularly fish specials and osso bucco. As I recall, the welcome was very friendly and the service brisk but attentive. My only complaint about the place was the high noise level. But My friends and I are anxious to try Trattoria Trullo in the new location.

Trattoria Trullo was forced to move because the block they were in is being redeveloped.

Josephine's description is spot on. Evanston's loss is Chicago's gain.
