Everything here is amazing!! I am a regular and I can’t rave about it enough! I love the Cristina pizza, the seafood stew, the squash ravioli, seafood platter, burrata, the bread!! Affogato, tiramisu! I could go on and on. The service is outstanding too. Family run, drinks are good too. These pics are from the feast of the seven fishes from Christmas Eve

Great food in a lovely atmosphere with that extra personal touch. We were there to celebrate my birthday. I had the seafood platter special and my husband am had the half chicken with roasted vegetables, we were both very happy with our meals. The cocktails are amazing, with interesting flavor combinations. The tiramisu dessert was perfect and the chef coming out to sing happy birthday was much appreciated. The staff are very professional, attentive, and accommodating. We will be sure to visit again.

A delightful upscale Italian restaurant tucked inside Alameda's south shore shopping center, Trabocco is an excellent choice for those wanting a more "European italian" dining experience. I think Trabocco has been open about 10 years now, but it still fulfills its owners original mission to provide good solid food in a warm, friendly environment. They make their own pasta on site and have a wood fired pizza oven. They have outdoor dining and a full bar. It seems what they don't have is pretentiousness. As for the food, We liked everything we ordered. I Suppose this is traditional Italian cooking, not Italian American cooking. Go-to dishes include the fettuccine Bolognese, pasta Trabocco..among many others. Fridays are porcheta night, so Saturday is porcheta sandwich day. Give it a try. It's quite good and one sandwich can be shared by two people. Portions are generous, and prices are reasonable, in my opinion. Parking might be a challenge during lunch period but should be easier at night as the retail stores close. Service was warm, friendly and attentive. The only thing I think they should do is print out the specials instead of having the server cite them. Overall, Trabocco is a great place to have a meal, in my opinion. Give it a try...we did and we will return.

We love our dining experience here and will definitely come back again! Our waiter was amazing and his description of the specials convinced all 4 of us to select from the specials menu. My friend and I split the seafood stew and seafood platter and both were delicious. And you can’t finish a meal at an Italian restaurant without trying Tiramisu. Everything was perfect!

We went to Trabocco Italian restaurant in Alameda for lunch, and it was a great experience! The restaurant has a nice ambience, and the service was excellent. I ordered the salmon sandwich, and it was awesome! We also got a salad, and Vera our server kindly split it into two plates for us—perfect portion! The fish plate had scallops, shrimp and octopus it was very delicious. At the end, the chef (who is the owner) came and talked to us, and thanked us. That made the meal even more special! Highly recommend this place—great food and service.
