    Oxtail ravioli is a must, and filling!
    Danessa L.

    Best enjoyed w company bc entrees are pricey but oh so tasty, and it's challenging to choose just 1 or 2! Beautiful outdoor seating on a warm day in Alameda. Service was great and authentic. Just came back from Italy so this place hit the spot for me being home now.

    This place is great for what Alameda has to offer. They're jokesters here - so if you're sensitive - just beware that the servers here are comfy and joking right off the bat! Personally I don't mind it - we had a friend who wasn't so into it... the food was terrific. I was afraid the pulpo wasn't gonna be good after seeing it arrive in cut bits - but my one year old was loving it and barely left me any. The beet salad was delicious and bright - the branzino wasn't perfectly deboned but it was pretty darn close! Loved it with the lemon squeeze and olives! My hubs said the ribeye was good and that their polenta was smooth a tad over runny but still tasty. Can't give a full five stars because for the pricepoint it isn't necessarily taste buds blown away - but what i did love is that they didn't force gratuity... it's a rarity nowadays and to see these guys treat us well and not expect 18% or 25% and force it was very refreshing. Our group of 9 still tipped 20% because we were a large party and nothing fell through the cracks... service was definitely a plus!

    This was our 3rd visit to Trabocco's all to celebrate birthdays...this time my sister's Reservations were made through Open-Table. Arrived a few minutes early and noticed both the outdoor patio and indoor dining room were packed. No fear, our table for 3 was awaiting us Service: top notch service was provided by Marshall who was our server when we came last year for my niece's birthday. He's been w Trabocco for over 10 years and he speaks highly of working there. We have met the Chef/Owner before. He was kind enough to chat with us and take a photo. Food: Every dish's presentation was spot on and tasted fabulous! Appetizer was our FAV Pizzeria Cristina Entree: Brodetto Alla Vastere (seafood stew). Substituted the shrimp w additional scallops Special: squidink risotto and grilled seafood platter (a daily special Thank you Marshall for being our server and Chef-owner Giuseppe for a wonderful evening at your restaurant Will definitely see you soon

    Polipo e Patate
    Stephanie T.

    I've been here a couple of times and they haven't disappointed me yet! I'm a sucker for pasta with seafood so I always opt for the Polipo e Patate appetizer and Spaghetti del Trabocco, which comes with mussels and shrimp. Both are delicious! A little on the pricy side, but at least they give a good portion. In both experiences, I haven't had bad service. The servers I've had are on top of things and make sure to keep your water refilled, while frequently checking in on things. I also love the ambiance inside the restaurant. It feels cozy despite looking a little more fancy.

    I am glad we were able to be seated as almost all the tables were filled when we came around 7pm on a Saturday night. Our server explained the specials and although we didn't order any, it sounded good. Now I wish I could say I enjoyed the food but there really wasn't anything special about any of our dishes. $20 for calamari felt like we were being robbed and the quantity did not make up for the quality. The ravioli came with 4 ravioli that was covered in sauce and melted cheese. The spaghetti was ordinary with not a lot of seafood to really make it worth the price. The panna cotta is probably the only thing that saved our meal and appetites. Might come back to try the pizza but not the pasta again.

    Made an easy reservation for an after work get together. Table was on the outdoor enclosed patio. It was a cozy spot but a bit dark... was a struggle to read the menus. Server was friendly and engaging. Ordered 3 apps to start: calamari, pulpo, and burrata. My entree was the spaghetti del Trabocco (seafood pasta with red sauce). Lots of flavor and well-cooked prawns and shellfish. Drinks were just right; not too strong and flavorful. Everyone was happy with their dishes. Pizzas on nearby tables looked great. Next time...

    Time for an updated review! While I have tried Trabocco once before, my partner has not and we wanted a different cuisine from our usual, so Italian it was! We made a reservation for 6PM ahead of time and I'm kinda glad we did. Even though it was a random Thursday, this place was popping with people. I don't think people were told they needed to wait, but I'm still glad we were seated immediately because I was pretty hungry by the time we made it here. The front hostess greeted us with a 'Happy Anniversary' after I told her about our reservation. A few slices of complementary bread and olive oil/balsamic vinegar is given right from the start and honestly, their bread is delicious. We each ordered drinks first. I opted for the Arnold Palmer and my partner got himself an alcoholic drink. We opted for lamb skewers served with toasted bread as appetizer, a side of Broccoli di Rape, I got the Brodetto Alla Vastese (seafood stew) as my main, and my partner got the seafood platter (their daily special). My Arnold Palmer was a good one. From past experiences, there's usually more lemonade than there is tea, but Trabocco's tasted more tea-like than lemonade-like. It's a slightly nicer change from the typical. Next up, the appetizer came with three lamb skewers. I think it's actually a bit pricey for how small they are, but they are made very well. The lamb skewers are small, but they're tender and juicy! I'm not exactly sure the lamb and toasted bread goes together, but each component by itself was nice. The Broccoli di Rape was really good too. My partner described it as a bit bitter, but it tasted very green and vegetal to me. I liked it as is. As for my seafood stew - wow, I did not go wrong with ordering this. When our server handed us both seafood plates as our entrees, he commented that we made good choices, haha. There's a lot of ingredients in there - salmon, octopus, mussels, clams, shrimps, and scallops from what I remember. I especially liked the scallops and salmon pieces because they were cooked perfectly. They're melt-in-your-mouth silky smooth. The only thing I felt was overcooked was the baby octopuses, but everything else in there was delicious. The soup is nourishing. Even though it's got a tomato based broth, it wasn't tart at all. It was comforting and both my partner and I couldn't get enough of it. He actually preferred my stew over his platter of fish! I sampled a bit of the seafood platter and what I liked the most from his dish was the scallops and ahi tuna (I think). For dessert, they gave us a complementary Tiramisu! The dessert that I was definitely hoping to try since people seem to love it here. I also ordered a Raspberry sorbet as it's the only dairy-free dessert on the menu. The tiramisu was absolutely worth trying. It's so light and airy, but has a really nice coffee/chocolatey flavor to it. I can see why people love their tiramisu. As for the sorbet, I think I'll pass on it next time. It was refreshing and light, but too sweet for my liking. It tasted like strawberry flavored starburst to me. We would absolutely love to come here again. Although Italian is almost never our first choice of cuisine, this may be our first choice for Italian. We had great hosts and the vibe is great. Parking is never an issue here either since the lot is so big. I know I rated them as 3.5 stars last time I tried Trabocco, but it's definitely more than a 4 this time! It's a little noisy in there, but it's also a fun environment.

    Nice Italian restaurant in a mall across from the beach. They have a nice indoor dining area and covered outdoor seating. They cook with the wood fired oven. Stopped here for lunch and had a salad with grilled chicken and another with seafood. Everything was delicious and perfectly cooked! The server was great and didn't give too much attention to be annoying. They have a great beer and wine menu.

    Blood orange sparkling soda

    The food is excellent. I have been here a handful of times and the food never lowers in quality. Service is decent depending on who you get. The blood orange sparkling soda is my favorite. One thing I wish they could switch out was the potatoes that they serve for mashed potatoes. If it's a nice day I highly recommend sitting outside as the inside can get quite noisy. The bathrooms are clean and nice if that is a concern. Booking a reservation online is also super easy and recommended on weekends as it is pretty packed after 6pm.

    Not an Arnold Palmer
    Destry N.

    Trabocco has a really lovely ambience and the food we had was genuinely great. We started with the Caesar salad, which was crisp and flavorful, and the Bolognese was rich, comforting, and tasted like it was made with real care. Overall, everything we ordered tasted really good. Our server, Benjamin, was also very knowledgeable and friendly throughout most of the meal, which made the experience feel easy and welcoming. That said, I left pretty disappointed because of a small interaction near the end that rubbed me the wrong way. I ordered an Arnold Palmer, but after a couple sips it was clear it didn't have enough lemonade for my taste and wasn't sweet enough, even though I was really thirsty. When Benjamin came by and offered my girlfriend a refill (which she accepted), I asked if he could bring me a little lemonade to balance mine out. His response was essentially that they "won't do anything about that" and that he could get me iced tea instead. It wasn't clear what he meant, but it didn't feel like there was any effort to fix a drink I wasn't enjoying. What made it worse is that refills were not mentioned as an extra charge. The refill ended up being another $5, which is totally fine if that's the policy, but it should be communicated up front, especially when offering refills. Between not explaining the refill cost and not offering a simple adjustment to my drink (even just a splash more lemonade), it left me with a sour taste at the end of an otherwise really enjoyable meal. I'd still recommend Trabocco for the atmosphere and the food, but I really hope they tighten up the service details and communication around drink charges and simple fixes.

It's a longtime local favorite of mine and my go-to spot for meeting up with friends--equal parts escape and comfort. The cocktail menu is impressively deep, full of beautifully crafted, fancy tiki drinks that practically beg to be explored, and so far every single one I've tried has been delicious (dangerously so). Inside, the bar nails the classic tiki vibe--warm, immersive, and transportive--while the outdoor patio offers a lovely, relaxed option with plenty of extra seating on warm days.

A quick pro tip: if you're planning to stop by during popular after-work hours, definitely make a reservation--it fills up for good reason. The food menu is on the smaller side, but the bites are tasty and thoughtfully done, perfect for sharing alongside a round (or two) of cocktails.

We went on a weekday at 2pm. We sat on the upstairs balcony. It was very quiet and peaceful, which is honestly such a rare win for any restaurant in the Bay, I might go back just for this. The view is heavenly, completely gorgeous. I would like to see how they deliver on the raw oysters ($4 each) and Cesar salad. Pricing is definitely too high for the quality of the food but not more so than any other East Bay restaurant with a waterfront view, and this view is better than any other I know. Service was... Kind of ridiculous... Only one person working the entire front of the restaurant - no greeter at the entrance, no bartender, no busser, and that person simply does not have enough command of the English language to do the job well. Could not effectively answer any of our questions about the menu. Could not understand we wanted the appetizer dishes cleared away to make room for the very large main course dishes. Disappeared for so long we had to get up and go find them to ask for our check. Never asked if we wanted drinks or dessert. Said some surprisingly rude phrases but I'm sure it was an ESL issue, I genuinely don't think they intended to be rude. They certainly did not catch it or notice At All what was happening when one of our group was briefly rude back by responding in kind (before realizing it was accidental). We had to ask more than once to bring us knives even though there are foods in our main dishes that can't be cut with the side of a fork. And on, and on, etc. Oh one good thing was we asked to each paid separately and they let us do that without any trouble, and got our individual items correct immediately.

I loved the different vegetables in it besides being just potatoes and onions. The mushrooms and root vegetables worked really well together. Everything was well-seasoned. I'm glad we ended up choosing these dishes even though neither were my original top choices (I decided on the menu with my friend). It made me feel like you can choose anything and it'd be a banger. We were quite full from these dishes, and we forget we also ordered beignets to come out last. They were fluffy and mostly air (but not in a bad way). The service throughout the meal was good. We were checked on from time-to-time and our waters were refilled, although I wish the water glasses were a little bigger. One small thing to note was that we were given the check while we were still eating, even though the restaurant was still seating people despite it being close to closing time. Unsure if/why we were rushed like this. Overall, this was a memorable brunch spots I've been to in the Bay (dare I say one of the best?). We left smelling like a campfire. I would recommend it.

    I stopped by here for happy hour and had a really pleasant experience! They offer $10 classic…read morecocktails and discounts on appetizers like chips and salsa and guac, French fries, nachos, and other bites. I ordered a classic martini with a twist, it wasn't my favorite drink ever but it was made well, just not my usual. After that I ordered a classic margarita which was super good and came with a black salt rim and dehydrated lime. The margarita was super tasty and both drinks were made right away! For food, I ordered the chips and salsa and guac. The guac was very good, it tasted fresh and was a good size portion. The salsa was really good, it was chipotle tasting but had a lime tanginess to it that was unique and refreshing. They were generous with the portion of chips and the chips were thick and crispy and seasoned well with just a little bit of salt. I also ordered the impossible taquitos which came with guac, sour cream, and salsa on top. The presentation was beautiful and the food came out fast but the taste was a bit weird, it wasn't bad but it just tasted like burger meat in a taquito. I really appreciate that they offered a meat alternative but wish it tasted better, like maybe use potatoes instead of fake meat, or use fake chorizo over a burger seasoning. It would also be nice if there was a vegan version not just a vegetarian version. Despite my critiques of the food, I have no critiques for the service and atmosphere! My server was phenomenal and attentive and checked in often! I had a great experience and look forward to coming back but would definitely be more eager to come back if they updated with more vegan options!

    Favorite place to grab a drink on the island!…read more I love grabbing a spot by the windows to people watch while sipping on a well made cocktail. If you want to grab a bite, my go-to is the sliders with tater tots.
