Il Cibo (The Food): A Symphony of Flavors
From the first taste of the antipasti (appetizers), Trabocco showcased its commitment to excellence. 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 pappardelle al ragù di agnello (pappardelle with lamb ragu) was a rustic masterpiece, with handcrafted pasta cradling savory lamb ragu—a true celebration of Italian culinary craftsmanship.
Main courses elevated the experience. The branzino al forno (oven-roasted branzino) was a balance of crispiness and tenderness, showcasing the chef's expertise. Each bite was a testament to Trabocco's dedication to delivering an authentic and quality dining experience.
The daily specials menu added an element of surprise. The pesce del giorno (fish of the day) was a revelation, emphasizing Trabocco's commitment to seasonal freshness and culinary diversity.
Le Specialità del Giorno (The Specials of the Day): An Adventure
Trabocco's specials are a highlight. 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.
