Reviews for Trabocco Kitchen and Cocktails in Alameda, CA

Great dining area inside and out. Very professional staff. Large selection of food. There is undoubtedly good food here but we... just were not thrilled with the dishes we had. The salad was small. The pizza crust was soggy. The half chicken and roastedvegetables were good. Read more

The head chef/owner Giuseppe, and best server in the world Oscar is why we consider this place as family. The oxtail ravioli is... to die for. Their octopus, potatoes and vegetables appetizer is out of this world as well. I've celebrated many people'sbirthdays here, and many special occasions. They say home is where the heart is. Well this is home. Read more

What an amazing experience! Went with the boyfriend and a friend. We sat at the Chefs table right in front of the pizza station... and we had an amazing experience. Was able to meet and speak to the Owner/Chef Guisseppe. The love he has for his food and teamis so wonderful to witness. He was on the line with the team helping them plate and cook. The three of us said we would love tojust sit there for hours and watch the team cook and just drink. The food was AMAZING. The drinks were perfect. The menu islarge enough to want to go back once a week. I had the bronzino special and my bf had the ribeye special. We also got a pizzaand can I say that's my favorite pizza? Omg it was wonderful. Service with Pedro was spectacular. He was knowledgeable abouteverything and he was always so happy to be there. Loved being able to walk in and get a table but we opted for the chefstable. 10/10 highly recommend and definitely will be back. :) My boyfriend loves it here so we are going to go all the time.

Everyone really enjoyed what they got here, but I'm just gonna talk about my meal. I got a pizza. Get whatever toppings you want... on it. You're probably familiar with pizza. The thing that made the pizza the best is the crust and sauce combination. Thecrust is not thin, not thick, but it's got a bit of a gentle brittleness to the outside, then the inside was warm and chewy. Itwas spectacular, and I'm not usually even into pizza crust that much. The sauce somehow congealed into the crust in the best wayand their tomato sauce is REALLY good. My fiancee tried several different dishes and confirmed that the pizza was her favoriteas well. They also give you pizza scissors, so that was a fun experience. ???? I also got the margarita to drink. It was smoothand salty (on the rim) with a nice acidic kick from the lime. Really easy to drink and honestly just tasty. Would (and did)order that again. Read more

Exquisite service and menu! Giuseppe and his entire family are there every day running the kitchen, managing the front, and... waiting tables to ensure quality and, well....because it's just how much they love their restaurant! As someone who travels toItaly, 2-3 times per year, I'd say Trabocco delivers the most authentic Italian dining experience I've ever had in theUS. Drink tip: ask if they'll make a "Spritzmouthe" for your apertivo Read more

Very pleasant atmosphere and dining experience. They have done a great job with the outside dining area space. The restaurant... decor is welcoming and stylish. All the wait staff are friendly and courteous. The menu is varied with plenty of choices. Someof the menu items are a tad expensive but that may be the result of the post COVID-19 times we now live in. The lamb shankspecial is flavorful and there was plenty of it. So much so that I needed a box to go. Read more

Fantastic dinner experience as I found them based upon some video recommendations from several YouTube channels. The menu is... diverse without being overwhelming. We ordered some of the daily specials which included Veal osso bucco, fior di lattecaprese. We also ordered the oxtail ravioli, gnocchi, and seafood spaghetti. Everything we ordered was prepared very well,seasoned with care, and portioned well. When I'm in town again I will definitely make a stop in again to experience the rest ofthe menu! Read more

An Italian delight for our dinner date night. We couldn't reserve a table but they still were able to accommodate us in a kind... way. Service was friendly and attentive to detail. The welcoming fresh bread served with olive oil and balsamic vinegar is atreat (yes, more, please!!!). Everything we ordered was perfect, tasty and well seasoned. We hardly ever go for desserts, butthis time we did and so glad we did. Go! Read more
