Matt was a great server! We had the meatball tower appetizer…. I highly recommend! The grilled mani sandwich was also very good. They have seating upstairs, downstairs and outside on the upper balcony. The atmosphere was nice. Nice artwork on the walls and great Christmas decorations for the season!

Trapani’s is an excellent place to eat in the Bay Area. They have a great cuisine full of Italian and coastal options. At the time, they were offering a limited chef’s special for fried flounder and cheesy grits, which tasted amazing. I also recommend the meatballs, as they were juicy and flavorful. The tomato sauce was great too. Others may have a different opinion, but I thought the ahi tuna wasn’t in the same tier as the other options. Yes, it was high quality and fresh, but it lacked flavors that would impress me like the others did. If you enjoy a fresh and simple flavor profile with your fish, then I’d recommend that you try the ahi tuna. Moving away from the food, the restaurant is clean and has a well-executed theme, and the staff is great. I highly recommend anyone give Trapani’s a try.

I came for dinner with my partner, and everything was amazing. Kacie is an absolute delight. Service was wonderful, and the food was delicious too! We had the blackened mahi pasta and Asian fish tacos, as she recommended. Thanks!

Shockingly disappointed. Started with our arriving to find that our reservation at 5:30 PM wasn’t on file. Fortunately, it was early and the place was empty, and our party of 8 was seated quickly. Everything took quite awhile to deliver to the table, but most everything tasted ok. Not great but ok. The only real disappointment in food at that point was the crab claws that were severely overcooked and cold but the time they made it to the table. We didn’t say anything because we didn’t think it was a big deal. When our entrees were served, one was forgotten to be entered and the waitress owned up and said she’d asked for it to be taken care of on the fly. Things were fine for awhile but eventually it was clear that the waitress was avoiding our table. We asked about status of the missing entree and were told it was being worked on. Another 15 min go by, and asked again. We explained that we believed this should have been raised to management much sooner as we are now 45 minutes after everyone else got food. (This is fried seafood. Not something we would have expected to take so long to correct.). We watched the manager flit from table to table socializing and clearing dishing, avoiding ours. Finally the last meal arrived. It was fine tasting, but so late that everyone else had finished eating and half our party had already had to leave. We eventually got the ticket and were shocked to find that one of the seasonal appetizers (written on a chalk board with no price) we ordered was almost as expensive and the most expensive item in the menu-nearly $40!! They did comp the late entree (which we asked for), but literally no other niceties or acknowledgement of an outrageously long dinner with awful service. We were at the restaurant for over 2 1/2 hours and not once did the manager come to say a single word. I hate to say this is unique, but we haven’t been in probably five years because of a similar experience last time. Given it’s the same slow, inattentive service, I felt compelled to leave a review this time. I can’t even express the disappointment in a $250 dinner for four people. Never again.

Good but didn’t meet expectations based on reputation, marketing & their history.
Likes: Location ( ProTip – try the 2nd floor ).
Server: Enthusiastic & knowledgeable
Diversity of menu items
Our food was inconsistent- the PoBoys/gumbo and crab cakes were okay, the salad & drinks were great
Cost was high ($60 / person) for value rec’d.
The restaurant is well run, give em a try!

Stopped in for lunch Saturday and had a great meal! The Cuban press sandwich was very tasty, and the spinach and artichoke appetizer was also very enjoyable. Service was fast and friendly and the restaurant had a nice layout with sports on tv’s in different locations. Our first time there and we will definitely be back.

We met up at Trapinni’s with some friends for dinner. A good time was had by all. The weather was pleasant so we sat on the porch. We enjoyed tuna nachos,blackened mahi tacos, and side house salads. We will definitely be back!

Way overpriced! We all know that this restaurant has become a tourist trap but for goodness sakes, give the locals a discount like all the other places do lest we not step foot in your restaurant again. For three of us, with zero alcohol, And only a $10 appetizer, our bill was $137. In addition, none of us ordered chargeable drinks except me, an unsweetened iced tea. Doesn’t that blow your mind?
That’s not all!
We were starving when we got there. This restaurant does not bring you bread or anything. No crackers on the table. Nothing. So we ordered an appetizer. The most reasonable one seemed to be the onion rings. Some of the appetizers were in the mid-twenties. Totally ridiculous for an establishment like this.
The onion rings that we ordered as an appetizer, I counted 10 of them on the little plate they brought. And they weren’t big ones. They were small to medium size rings. Pretty shabby not to at least splurge on that with your customers. Wowza, that says a lot!
Then my mom and my brother got salads, I know that my mom’s was at least advertised as mixed greens on the menu. Well it was iceberg lettuce! Big let down there .
The shrimp on my small piece of trout were about the size of my little fingernail. For a $30 entree, you would think they would at least have decent size shrimp. Nope!
The only good thing I can say is when I asked for butter they actually brought me real butter & not margarine. It’s a shame that that’s the only compliment I can give.
We ordered a club sandwich with no tomatoes. They gave us one with tomatoes and no ham and absolutely swimming with mayonnaise.
Warning, if you eat here, you will feel robbed
