The special appetizer was amazing(burrata and heirloom tomatoes). I usually get lasagna but this time opted for a fettuccine bolognese. Our friends ordered the lamb special and a seafood special. Both reported a great review. The portions are amble and one diner had to take home some of her lamb meal. The server was attentive and answered every question we had. Wonderful experience, as usual!

Had an 8:00 reservation and the hostess let us sit an hour early...so a great start. Waiter was excellent. My girlfriend and I are both non-drinkers so I sometimes feel guilty only drinking water. Nevertheless, we both enjoyed our Invernale salad which we split. My girlfriend had the seafood stew; I had the spaghetti al Trabocco. When I first saw how big the serving was, I thought I'd eat maybe half of it. It was so delicious I ate every molecule, while she ate her entire stew. In the past I'd always ordered the oxtail stuffed ravioli, so I was proud of myself for ordering something new. It might be a new favorite. Outstanding experience and I can't wait to return.

Food and service were superb. A well oiled machine of moving parts kept the evening moving at a comfortable pace. Our server Marshall was great and we could tell he liked his job and appreciated what Chef was trying to do with everything. Wouldn’t say it’s as “romantic” as people have mentioned as it’s more loud and energetic. A wonderful spot but maybe not for a quiet romantic engagement. Loved it and will definitely go back!

We were made to feel so welcome from start to finish. As always. This is why Trabocco works so well as a place for a special celebration as well as a great local restaurant. The food is great. The cocktails are great. Espresso and dessert…great as well. The owners and staff at Trobocco are exceptional and make their service look effortless all the while making sure their guests are having a perfect experience.

Delicious food, great waiter and overall service. Because Opentable asked if we were celebrating a special occasion and we said yes, Trabocco gave us a free dessert decorated with "Happy Anniversary." That was a special surprise. We love Trabocco, even without free dessert.

For appetizers, we ordered the beef carpaccio & burrata con prosciutto, both tasty. For our lunch entree, we had the Piatta Trabocca, ravioli with braised oxtail filling, & panino salmone. All very good & large servings. Not sure why some of the other reviews complained about the prices being too expensive. We thought the servings were large, enough for 2 to share an entree so worth the price. We were celebrating my husband’s birthday & the chef came out with a complimentary serving of tiramisu right after they cleared our dishes to sing happy birthday without us having to say anything. One of the best tiramisu desserts we’ve had in a while. The entire staff from the hostess, kitchen, & wait staff were very friendly. We definitely had a very enjoyable meal.
