Which is fine with me, but then I asked for a side of jalapeños and they wanted to charge me $1.11 for a small ketchup cup size container. Like, max there are 5-6 jalapeños in there. Really? $21 and I can't get some jalapeños for my fries? Next time I'll skip the TIP and get my jalapeños. Crazy.

My husband and I visited this restaurant for the first time to celebrate our 30th anniversary, and…read moreeverything was perfect! I ordered the Squid Ink Seafood Risotto (the special of the day), and it was incredibly tasty. They even gave us a complimentary Tiramisu to celebrate. I don't know why it took us so long to find this place, but we will definitely be back soon! PS: I forgot to take a picture, but you can see the risotto in the photo section of this page uploaded by other people. It's absolutely worth a try if they have it!

Trabocco has become such an anchor restaurant for us - it is so enduringly inviting, the food so…read moresatisfying, and the staff and service sublime. Besides, the steady stream of cappuccini that we devour, working back and forth across the menu is consistently a joy. This time we started with the Polipo e Patate. The octopus was tender, the potatoes perfectly toothsome, the flavor profile perky without being punchy. The butatta con prosciutto also hit the spot. The texture of the butatta sings, the drizzle of olive oil compliments, and the saltiness of the prosciutto balances the creaminess and mildness of the butatta. It's a great summer dish. Walking out humming a tune, already looking forward to the next visit. Thanks, Chef Giuseppe & crew!

We got lots of water, frequent check-ins with the staff, and it's a cozy but small space, so if you see a spot come on in! Will certainly be back!

1520 Park St Alameda, CA 94501…read more This is the Alameda Grill that's next to Alameda Bicycle at Park St & Webb Ave. Alameda Grill is probably the smallest restaurant in Alameda, and mainly serves up burgers and fries. (Not to be confused with the Alameda Cinema Grill). I was there on a Tuesday morning at about 10:50 am. I asked the lady if she was open yet, and she happily said "YES....c'mon in!" This place is very small. As soon as you walk in you'll be at the counter of the kitchen. There's no lobby or dining room. I just ordered a Cheeseburger and Fries. She asked if I wanted a double, and held up two frozen meat patties. I agreed to a double, and she started cooking. FYI- I was a fast food shift Mgr decades ago, and I'm familiar w/ cooking burgers. She laid the two patties on the flat grill, and put a large searing tool on top for 2-3 mins. Then she dropped the fries in the fry vat. I asked for a burger with everything. The food was ready pretty quick, and I was on my way. Free ketchup and napkins. OMG, the french fries were excellent! Crispy on the outside and tender soft on the inside. Fries have a limited holding time of 7-10 mins. After that they become limp and soft. Eat those fries HOT, you will enjoy them more. The Double Cheeseburger was okay. The meat patties were not fully caramelized to bring out the flavor. Needed another slice of cheese. Maybe more mayo and seasonings. But it's a good size, and it's freshly made. It's a good value for the price. They need more outside seating. Burgers and fries should be enjoyed right away.

I really wanted to like this place, but fell very short. It's a bland, overpriced ($8) tiny…read moreburger. Meat was flavorless, 1 slice of a green tomatoes and lifeless lettuce. The onion overpowered anything on this cheeseburger. Sweet potato fries ok, no seasoning. But that's ok I seasoned to my taste. A bit overpriced ($4) for the amount of fries. Service, well that is also a no go. She seemed upset we were there. Basically she seemed upset at everyone that ordered even the lady behind me. L9cal seemed kinda grungy, tiny just like the burgers. Will not return.
