Service

Latteria is a stylish Italian aperitivo bar with a central bar surrounded by smaller dining areas, which helps break up the noise. Love the layout!

The venue features plenty of booths, offering semi-enclosed seating with no overhead speakers—a big win for private conversations. The treated floors reduce reverberation, making the space less echoey than expected.

The er / louder area is by the northern window (where we sat), where seating capacity is higher and is directly under the speakers. Everywhere else was noticeably quieter due to the booths and walls breaking up sound.

Music & Background Noise
🔊 Music Volume: The speakers aren’t overly loud in most sections, except near the northern window, it was a tad too loud here considering the high capacity here.
The booths offer a quieter experience, many have no speakers arepositioned overhead.
🗣️ Crowd Noise: During the week, it’s chilled with relaxed background music, but watch out for Friday and Saturday nights—staff warn there’s a live DJ, and it gets rowdy after 9 PM.

STAFF HOT TIP
– Afternoon or early evening visits for a more relaxed experience even on weekends.
– After 9pm it turns from a restaurant into a lively bar.
– Mon is quietest day as less crowded.
To book online you can’t request a certain table, just inside / outside / bar. Groups of more than 6 are offered the booths and it is based on capacity who sits where.
– If you want a booth mention it on your booking, or pick a Monday night, but can’t be guaranteed.

✅ Recommended Spots:
– Booths – quieter, semi-enclosed, and best for intimate conversations.
– Dining areas around the bar – sound is more dispersed.
❌ Avoid:
– Northern window seating – high capacity and directly under speakers
– Friday & Saturday nights after 9 PM if you’re after a quiet chat.
Accessibility for Hard of Hearing Diners
– Lighting: Can be dim, and menus have small print, so bring reading glasses if needed.
– Staff Communication: Friendly and attentive, though background noise near the bar can make ordering tricky.

Summary
Latteria is a great spot for date nights and intimate conversations, especially in booths or during off-peak hours. Expect livelier energy on weekends, particularly after 9 PM on Fridays and Saturdays when the DJ kicks in. Otherwise, it’s a chilled, stylish venue with well-managed acoustics—a good balance between ambience and conversation ease.
