Dining under the stars at
Trattoria Diane
Over the past 32 years John Durkin, Roslyn's mayor and his famed wife Diane have created an amazing world wide reputation for Diane's bakery. Their bakery is famous for its pastry's pies, cookies. and cakes and has built a huge and growing clientele on long island. Diane's also ships their baked goods around the world with a substantial business in japan and asia. Twelve years after the bakery began business, John and Diane opened Trattoria Diane, an upscale restaurant in the town of roslyn. . Trattoria Diane, is roman-inspired with a casual home-like ambiance, similar to the restaurants John and Diane found on their trips to Italy.. Diners have always treasured the special warmth and wonderful food that trattoria diane consistently offers everyday. This summer, Diane's expanded their restaurant, by constructing an impressive outdoor wooden deck on their parking lot . . The deck,
made of recycled light colored forest wood, seats around 30 diners with comfortable tables and chairs protected from the elements, by large colorful umbrellas. The deck is decorated with greenery, plants and vines, and lit by the sun, stars and moon as well as small strategically located spot lights. We dined outdoors, on a perfect summer night with mild weather, a light breeze, and a sky filled with twinkling stars. Diane's outdoor deck is a great place for lunch or dinner and a delightful late night venue, to enjoy a evening with wine and cheese. Our outdoor deck menu was a special summer tasting of Diane's signature dishes and new specials.
