    Came here for my partner's birthday, the service was ok, the food was ok. My dish was extremely salty I was only able to take a few bites before losing my appetite, his was pretty salty too but still appetizing. For dessert, the tiramisu hardly had any espresso in it. interesting menu items, a nice environment w/ a open kitchen design.

    Lovely and peaceful lunch with a friend. Started with the sliced tomato salad, which was a delightful combination of flavors and enjoyed the butternut squash ravioli. Topped it off with a rich slice of tiramisu. Happy to go back soon!

    Hostess was not friendly took three trys to get a decent table even though the restaurant was empty and I had a reservation. And when the hostess finally sat me at a table I requested she made a snide remark about how picky I was then made a had motion waving me away from her and stopped off. Not sure why the hostess was angry but when your front end delivers a poor experience to start you can well imagine what's next.

    Celebrating the 10 year anniversary milestone at Trabocco - been dining here since day one I have to give a lot of credits to Chef/Owner Giuseppe and his wife Christine for their generosity for not raising the prices in the menu since the pandemic Covid-19. The portions are still same. The service is professional and attentive. Beautiful ambetience. This Italian restaurant is the best price value in the island of Alameda.

    First, and foremost we had the most wonderful waitperson! I don‘t recall his name, but he is Italian; he is available, tuned in, responsive, present but not intrusive, funny. I cannot remember having a more spectacular waitperson, here, or anywhere else. The location outdoors was excellent. It was light enough, warm enough, comfortable. Noise level was just comfortably „chatty.“. Very nice ambience. Not too noisy, not too quiet. The food was superb! We were four people and everyone was enthusiastic. I had told the waitperson that we were there for a birthday celebration for one of us and asked him if there was any cake on the menu as I hadn‘t seen any. He just smiled and said he would take care of it. And so he did! At the appropriate time he brought out a beautiful Tiramisu cake on a lovely platter, candle and all which he lit! It was the perfect end to a perfect evening!

    Food good and server friendly and had great recommendations. Hostess rude with a snarky comment under her breath when we ended up with one of our party unable to make it last minute. Not the way to set the tone for a nice meal. Also pretty loud.

    We went to Trabocco to celebrate a birthday and the service was outstanding. However, we were a little disappointed with the pizza we ordered. We thought it would have some arugula but it had a big bed of arugula and it was not very pleasant to eat as arugula is a little bitter. They should try to "sprinkle" arugula on the pizza. They also gave us dessert on the house which was a nice surprise. We plan to go back and try other dishes since our choices were not great this time around.

    We had a really nice dinner as the food was delicious as always. We both decided on getting the specials as my husband got the 18 oz ribeye and I got the grilled sea bass. We were celebrating our 29th wedding anniversary and we couldn’t have asked for a wonderful experience. Also, our waiter was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable about all the specials.
