The '''Trattoria Georgi''', also known as '''the Georgi''', was an [[Wikipedia:Italy|Italian]]-style restaurant located in [[New Tyne]] on [[Venezia]].{{Ref/Reuse|R1}} It was owned by [[Georgi Baklanov]] until his death on [[2553#December|December 12, 2553]].{{Ref/Reuse|R1}}

Located along the [[Via Notoli]] in [[New Tyne]], Trattoria Georgi contained a small dining room with tables, chairs, and booths that could at times be packed with customers, [[human]] and [[Kig-Yar]] in particular. It contained a bar of polished stone and dark wood and there was a door at an end of it that led to an office. There was a back door in the kitchen that opened to a service alley. The ceiling was just high enough for a [[Jiralhanae]] to scrape its head against it and the walls were covered in plaster that overlay their structural panels. The front of the building was largely occupied by a massive window that looked out over a walkway along the Via Notoli. A wood-planked side street and walkway ran along the side of he building.{{Ref/Reuse|R1}}

On [[2553#December|December 12, 2553]], [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] operative [[Veta Lopis]] and her team of [[Spartan-III]] [[Ferret]]s were present in the restaurant to meet [[Ross Nyeto]] as part of [[Operation: RETRIBUTION]].{{Ref/Reuse|R1}} They were posing as criminals who were seeking transport to use in the delivery of ten stolen [[HAVOK]] nuclear devices. Unbeknownst to Nyeto or the other patrons present, their actual objective was to make enough noise so that the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]] would seek them out. To this end, the [[Spartan-II]]s of [[Blue Team]] were planning to breach the trattoria and enter into a convincing mock engagement with Veta and the Ferrets. When the time came, [[Frederic-104]] and [[Kelly-087]] crashed a pair of [[M121 Jackrabbit]]s through the front window. The firefight that broke out between both groups of [[UNSC]] operatives, Nyeto's gunrunners, and Georgi Baklanov's guards resulted in the interior of the restaurant being torn apart by gunfire. Tables and chairs dissolved into splinters in the chaos and the bar was turned into wreckage. [[Picus]], a Jiralhanae guard who served Ross Nyeto, used his hulking frame to break through one of Trattoria Georgi's side walls near a corner, creating a three-meter hole. The violence left all but Lopis, Nyeto, and the Spartans dead, including Georgi Baklanov. In addition, the restaurant was reduced to ruins.{{Ref/Reuse|R1}}
