    Trabocco never disappoints. Even on a busy day like Mother’s Day, when the place was packed, the food was perfect, delicious, and of the same consistent quality we can always count on. The service was warm, gracious, and attentive. What a treasure this place is!

    Fantastic dinner (again). Our server, Greta, was friendly and attentive. Food was delicious. Started with crab cake (only “compaint” is they are too small and we wanted more ;) ) and beet salad. Porchetta was flavorful and the skin was decadent. Ribeye was huge and cooked a perfect medium-rare. Our son got the penne with tomato sauce which was very tasty. We were too full for dessert but would not hesitate to come back again!

    For Mothers Day I dined at Trabocco was a warm, indulgent delight from the very first bite. The meal began with fresh, crusty bread served alongside a silky pool of extra virgin olive oil, kissed with a mysterious dark swirl—perhaps aged balsamic—that added a rich, tangy depth. The star, though, was the butternut squash ravioli: tender pillows of pasta filled with velvety, subtly sweet squash, bathed in a savory sauce that danced between comfort and elegance. Paired with a vibrant orange cocktail—bright, citrusy, and just the right hint of sweet—it was the kind of meal that lingers in your senses long after the last sip.

    It is a very good dinner experience! The pizza is the best of our dinner but the steak was a bit overcooked.

    Checked out this place for my birthday! Made a reservation at around 5:45pm and got sat right away! I really like how modern and sleek the interior is and the ambiance. Our server was super nice and informative! I got the pizza and did not expect it to be really liquidy from the tomatoes. The cheese on the pizza had no flavor. I wish the pizza dough itself was cooked a little longer because there was still some soft dough. The mushrooms tasted really fresh! Overall the pizza needed more salt because it had no flavor whatsoever. I liked the beef carpaccio but it also just felt like it tasted like a lemony salad with a side of beef. The server recommended the risotto and I've never tried it but it was decent! The color may kind of be sad? The calamari was light and fresh but a little chewy. I also ordered this blackberry soda and it was so bland. No taste whatsoever and it was $8. It tasted like sparkling water with simple syrup and a hint of rosemary. We had also ordered the bolognese pasta I believe and the noodles were clumped together which was sad. They gave us a free tiramisu cake for my birthday and I loved it! Overall the food was ok. Most of it was bland except the seafood and risotto.

    We enjoyed our visit. Our server , Pedro was so attentive and friendly with us. He was kind and helpful all the time. Also food was delicious as always. However, when we arrived, the hostess wasn't particularly welcoming.
