Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Emeryville

Always a great experience. Trabocco is our favorite restaurant in Alameda. Whether it’s a special occasion, family dinner, or date night. Trabocco delivers.

A neighborhood gem. Good vibe as a casual-but-classy "Italian joint" with well made Italian dishes, a good wine list and a waiter that really cared, it was a quiet respite from the streets of SF. Jazz nightly in the other room for an extra fee. We didn't try that this time but may do so in the future.

No photos, but the presentation of food is definitely Instagram-worthy. We were seated at a communal table for eight, but with only six of us, it was like having our own table. Our server was delightful, efficient and knew the menu. We ordered the radicchio salad to share (big enough for three), squid ink/scallop pasta, branzino and the artichoke torte. All were beautifully plated and delicious. This is my new favorite Italian restaurant. I’m picky, so didn’t have a favorite until last night.

Excellent service with a knowledgeable server. Alina I believe was her name. Very helpful , good suggestions, prompt responses. We will return soon.

Holy cow! Excellent food and service! Great quaint location. Had the steak and scallops dishes for dinner. Delicious, tasty, well-seasoned, well cooked. Opened up with the charred Brussels sprouts and beef carpaccio. Also had the little gem salad. Their bread is soft and crunchy at the same time? How’s that? The place was sold out and with a line of people waiting for their turn to sit at a table. Owners are present and working. Just a great restaurant with great dishes!
