Trabocco Kitchen and Cocktails

Our second time here. The bread, olive oil and balsamic, Calamari, creme brulee, expresso and seafood soup were very good to excellent. Zinfandel was ok. Service by Pedro was excellent. The gnocchi was ok. Note to chef, simplify it. The sauce tastes like you started with Campbell's mushroom soup. Adding the veggies gave a chicken pot pie flavor. Note to chef, never ever tell a customer how to eat their meal and Imply they do not understand salting of meat or that they should not expect to eat every bite of their $48 rib eye steak to avoid the salty parts. You should know better. No one should be subjected to the salt lick nature of at least a portion of their steak. Accept that you did not do a great job.

We went for brunch on Sunday and we sat at the outdoor patio. Our server was funny and attentive. He made sure we were comfortable and not too hot or too cold. We ordered a round of cocktails to start and they were very well made cocktails! it was a great start to our meal. We ordered the burrata and the calamari for appetizers. The portions were perfect for 4 people to share. We then ordered their seafood platter special and the spaghetti. They were cooked to perfection! We each had our own entrees and we were glad we didn't have to share. We ended the meal with coffee and dessert. For dessert, we had the flourless chocolate cake and tiramisu. Both great! We were having such a great time and we were just chatting away. We ended having an amazing 2+ hour brunch. We are looking forward to coming back soon!

As always, Trabocco was a crowd pleaser! Giuseppe and the team served up amazing dishes, the atmosphere and ambiance, the attention by the wait staff, Barry and the team, all made our evening so memorable.

Trabocco always performs. It's one of our go to spots to impress clients or have a great family dinner. Great food with superb service.

The food was well prepared, and the service was consistent and excellent. They had a wide range menu and the choices were good and very. There was good spicing of the food and it was served warm to the table side. 

My favorite Italian restaurant! Amazing and authentic flavors. Best tiramisu I have had. Service is excellent. The owner is extremely personable!

I was so pleasantly surprised by this place! Nico, the waiter, was excellent and his authentic Italian accent made it even better. The service was professional, quick and attentive and the food excellent

Trabocco is consistently the best experience. The service, and the menu is excellent. The food preparation is outstanding but especially wonderful are the owners With gratitude to Christine and  Guiseppe

This is a great place for excellent food and service. I had the special of the day, Mushroom Beef Risotto. The portion was generous and the taste was superb. Service was a bit leisurely, which suited my companion and me. We never felt rushed at any time, but well cared for. I ordered a single scoop of gelato for dessert and didn't find out that was a "kiddie" portion until the bill came -- no fuss. This place is great -- go!

I took two friends out to lunch at Trabocco yesterday. Our table was waiting for us where I had requested to sit. Immediately bread and olive oil/balsamic vinegar were placed on the table. A bottle of room temperature water was placed on the table and the waiter poured it into our glasses. We were asked if we'd like a drink and then menus were presented to us as well as a recitation of the day's specials. I ordered the salmon panino which was enough for two servings; it was accompanied by a deliciously fresh green salad and a huge serving of fries with ketchup. One friend had the sea food platter with an impressive variety of fish and shellfish and grilled Italian bread. Again, the serving was large for at least two diners. My other friend had a daily special of grilled fish on a bed of polenta. For desert we shared the flourless chocolate cake topped with whipped cream and a strawberry which was a sweet finale to our savory lunch. The service was impeccable with both a waiter who was fluent in Italian and could answer all of our questions regarding ingredients and a secondary waiter who refilled our water bottle and checked in frequently. Even the chef/ owner came by to check in with us regarding our lunch. We were seated in the outside patio which was quiet and provided a breeze on a warm afternoon. I unconditionally recommend Trabocco -- it definitely is worthy of five stars!

Tobacco is a dining pleasure as always. The ambience for lunch is perfect setting on the patio. Enjoy the delicious lunch special with tuna and treated myself to the tiramisu. Chef came out to say hello and talk off with espresso absolute recommend recommendation.

Lobster Bisque was creamy had great lobster taste and chunks of lobster in it. The Agnolotti di Zucca was flavorful and had a great butternut squash taste

Trabocco by fire is THE finest Restaraunt hands down in Alameda. Giuseppe the owner cares about every single customer and oversees everything in food preparation and service. The bar is awesome!

Celebrated another birthday year here! Truly the best restaurant and our all time favorite ❤️🥳

We are regulars here. One of the consistently good spots in Alameda, not to mention the nicest owners!
