Trabocco Kitchen and Cocktails

"Beautiful restaurant and attentive staff. Unfortunately the food didn't quite hit the mark. Lamb skewers were tasty but very small and half the plate was filled with plain sliced bread. The salmon special was overcooked and dry. The sage butter ravioli was decent but not amazing. Felt like chain restaurant quality."

The burrata, a velvety blend of mozzarella and cream, paired with ripe tomatoes, transported us to the sun-soaked fields of Italy. A testament to simplicity and authenticity, it set the tone for an extraordinary culinary journey. The pasta selection at Trabocco deserves accolades.

The *risotto ai frutti di mare* (seafood risotto) was a symphony of flavors, with Arborio rice cradling a variety of seafood, bringing the essence of the Mediterranean to our table. The wine selection, carefully curated to complement the menu, was a delightful addition. The knowledgeable staff added a personal touch, guiding us through the extensive wine list with enthusiasm. **Il Servizio (The Service): A Ballet of Hospitality** The service at Trabocco is a ballet, where every movement is synchronized, and every gesture speaks volumes. The staff, including Christine, who took our reservation, exuded warmth and professionalism. Christine was wonderful and accommodating for our large party, making the experience seamless from the moment we arrived. The pacing of the courses was impeccable, allowing us to savor each moment without feeling rushed. Attention to detail extended beyond the culinary realm. The ambiance was enriched by the staff's commitment to creating a memorable dining experience.

"My daughter and I had a lovely time at this restaurant. The food was tasty and delicious. We finished our meal with coffee and delightful desserts. Service was gracious and helpful."

"Went here for dinner. The food is really flavorful and the Ingredients are real fresh. Usually what you would expect from an Italian restaurant. Being vegetarian the options were very limited. They had one gnocchi and one ravioli dish that were vegetarian. The dessert portions are good sized. Ambience and service is good."

"Love the restaurant vibe. Beautiful interior design with high vaulted ceiling. Comfortable seating area. I love the home made pizza here. Half mushroom pizza pocket and half margarita it’s really good! Seafood spaghetti with decent and good quality seafood as well. Cocktails are good with the right amount. Hope the server can be more friendly."
