We visited here with a party of 8 people on 03/12/2025 at 5pm. We were seated in the "outdoor" patio area on this chilly night; however, the heat lamps were wonderful and it felt just fine. We had a wonderful server, who was so very attentive to our every need. I had a Margarita, which was prepared just perfectly. Our table shared two orders of the Caprese and one order of the Calamari. I had one of the specials as my entree, which was the Duck Risotto. It was a generous portion and prepared absolutely deliciously! Definitely a treat, and a great special. I feel the prices at this restaurant are very reasonable for what you get. I ended the meal with the Vanilla Creme Brulee. The entire meal was great, and I would definitely return here again.

A few months ago I wanted a steak but didn't want to eat out . Checking out the menu and noticed steak dinner. I ordered 2 of them and I was very impressed on the meal as take out for steaks. The steaks were still hot juicy and cooked to the liking. There's was polenta , spinach and rosemary potatoes. I'm sold on the take out dinners. I ordered again just to see if it was the same. I was . These guys deserve the 5 star review. Great job Chef and crew.

Wow, I've been shopping at Trader Joes my entire life and did not once bat an eye to see what Trabocco is about. Let me tell you, I've been missing out. Trabocco strikes me as really good Italian food at an affordable price. In fact their restaurant and space screams "fancy". It feels upscaled and looks like a Napa winery. Usually with Italian food, a dish can most likely be split between two people. It's usually a lot for a serving, but here at Trabocco, it's well thought out. First, if you're planning to order a pizza definitely be prepared to share with others or take home. But if you are planning to order a pasta? You totally can finish a plate yourself. Overall, Im excited that there is a good and dependable Italian place within arms reach. The service is great and the food is of quality. Will be back.

I love coming to trabocco for special nights and celebrating occasions! My family and boyfriend are all big fans of this restaurant because of their delicious food and wonderful service! The ambiance here is also perfect for any kind of celebrations or dinners. We've came to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries and they always surprise us with tiramisu which is made to perfection! My favorite appetizer is the calamari, favorite dish would be Alfredo fettuccini with shrimp, and favorite drink would be any of the spritz! It's always such a treat coming here and I'm so happy we discovered this gem.

The ambiance as you enter Trabecco is a very elegant & fine dining experience. This is a great place for celebrating any special occasion bc of the staff, food & decor. Orders: Branzino ally Griglia-is a semi deboned Mediterranean Sea bass with a lot of colorful vegetables grilled to a fine perfection. The fish was grilled perfectly with a fine crisp & not dry. I love vegetables & with the variety, I was definitely satisfied. Potato del Trabecco-filled with scallops, shrimp, calamari over sautéed spinach, arugula, spelt, cannellini beans, tomato. An array of seafood to satisfy a seafood lover. As I celebrated other year around the sun, I was surprised with a personalized visit from the chef who presented me with my tiramisu cake & a song. Small gestures like these makes me so appreciative, thanks Trabecco for a wonderful birthday celebration!

Trabacco never fails! Such a staple restaurant in the Alameda community. Table for 2 no reservation and they sat us immediately. I would highly recommend making an appointment! We were just in the area. Food was fantastic. I had one of their specials and the meat was so tender and the mushroom risotto was impeccable! They recently added new items to their menu so definitely check that out! Restaurant is always clean and very welcoming.

We stumbled upon Trabocco while looking for a restaurant to celebrate an occasion with family. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their time! The service was impeccable, the restaurant was warm, and the food was delicious. Though our group ordered a variety of dishes from pasta, to calamari, and panini, the favorite at our table was the pizza. It was delicious and the crust was cooked to perfection. Additionally, if you are a pesto lover, please be sure to purchase a container of their pesto. It is simply divine!

If you're in Alameda, a trip to Trobocco is a must. Don't be fooled it's in a shopping mall. This place is top notch. This restaurant is beautiful inside. Very warm and cozy. I especially like their bar area. They also have a covered outside patio. The service has been impeccable every time I have dined there. At least 5x a year. Now for the food. Delicious is an understatement. My usual order is the mezza e mezza. 1/2 calzone 1/2 pizza. I always add sausage but you don't have to. The crust is thin but not too thin. Just the right amount of sauce and ricotta for the win. I also love their spinach and broccoli rabe. I highly recommend and can't wait till my next visit.

It was nice to revisit Trabocco. We met up with a friend for dinner. A casual place with style. Cristina Pizza: mushrooms, fior di latte, arugula, prosciutto, shaved parmesan, truffle olive oil (4/5). My wife's favorite. The crust is so cracker crisp good. Costata Di Maiale: wood-fired grilled 16oz bone-in locally sourced pork chop, broccolini di rabe sautéed with garlic and anchovies, roasted potatoes with almonds (4/5). The pork was tender and juicy. The broccolini had some spice in it. Too spicy for my wife. The roasted potatoes were crispy yet soft inside. Special of the Day: Wood-fired baked salmon in a tomato sauce, with black olives served with sautéed spinach and polenta (3.5/5). Nice and flakey. Our friend thought it was just ok. Creme Brulee (4/5) - creamy, rich, slightly softer than expected. Our friend liked the place and will revisit with his wife.
