Well done Paul! Cheers Aristo. Thanks for the votes Chris, Spike, Buddy and Jon. Jon - I am aware of a Trttoria but was completely unaware of it appearing as a shortened version. I assume that that was the reference rather than a fishing line or a witch/old woman - or god forbid a combinaiton of the two...

Paul, indeed. I’m sure I must have seen it used somewhere. This is the entry copied from Chambers…

trattoria /trät-tö-rēˈə, tra-tə-rēˈə/
noun (pl trattōˈrias or trattōˈrie /-rē-ā/)
An Italian restaurant (short form trat or tratt)
