⚠️ The trap

'Trattare' matches 'to treat' in some uses, but 'I'll treat you to dinner' = 'Ti offro la cena', not 'Ti tratto la cena'. Medical treatment = 'curare'.

To say "to behave toward someone; to give medical treatment; to buy food/drinks for someone" in Italian:

offrire (to treat someone to food/drinks)
