The restaurant itself has a very warm, inviting atmosphere, and the team is genuinely friendly and attentive.
Highly recommend both the dish and the overall experience.
Meal / Dish : The Sinatra Chicken at Travinia Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar in Lexington was outstanding.
The chicken is tender, the lemon‑butter sauce is rich and flavorful, and the portion size is great for the price.
I don’t remember the name of the wine I got but it was fresh and it was good.

We went to dinner to celebrate my birthday, 4 of us. It was one of the best experiences I have had at a restaurant! The hostess promptly took us to our table, upon arriving for our reservation and was friendly. We were sat only briefly before our server, Tatum (hoping I spelled her name correctly), came and greeted us with a warm and welcoming demeanor. She was definitely in the top 3 best experiences I have ever had with a server…engaging, welcoming, kind, funny and attentive!!! We had drinks, appetizers, dinner and dessert. Everything we order was delicious. The night out with my husband and parents was made perfect by the excellent experience we had, thank you Tatum!! We will ask for you every time we return!!!

We went there to celebrate my wife's birthday and were very disappointed in the meal.
I had the Sinatra chicken and it over cooked and the spaghetti didn't even have any sauce on it, very dry.
My wife had the Polo Isabella which was very tough and the roasted red peppers were not even roasted soft.
I can recommend the Calamari. Very tender and well prepared with the banana peppers.
All in all, not the experience I had in mind.

I came here to celebrate a friend. When I ordered my food came out cold so I asked if it could be reheated and it was taken back. The pasta was very dry and sticky with no kind of flavor. The chicken marsala the chicken had no seasoning at all and was tough. The sauce was cool and thick. It taste like old gravy that has gotten cold and has that film on the top. It was very salty. I took maybe 5 bites and off to the trash it went. A waste of money bc it cost $21. My daughter got chicken fingers and fries it looked nothing like the pic online and again that was wasted. I hate that bc you are with a party they charge you gratuity bc waitress know they going to get that regardless if they do well or not. The waitress was nice but once she gave us are food she was gone. We didnt see her until it was time to pass out the bill and pick them up. She didnt deserve that $7. I think her name was Marley. Then there was a guy I don't know his name but hes short with red hair he was working the whole time. I seen him so much and he even helped me and was so friendly. I wish I got his name because he was excellent. He was refilling drinks, picking up dishes, bringing to go boxes. I mean he was amazing!! I won't be back though I live all the way off Clemson Rd and the food wasn't good at all and the service could have been better. I wish I would have sent that food back so I wouldn't have been charged at all.
