J. Trani's - San Pedro

There were four of us, and we enjoyed the following dishes: the Trani Salad, complimentary bread, Calamari, Alfredo, Penne with Sunday Sauce, Uni Pasta, Crème Brûlée, and the GOAT Cocktail. Every bite was incredibly delicious. For my niece's eighth birthday, the chef even prepared a special off-menu Alfredo from scratch, which was simply heavenly! The homemade bread paired with the salad was a standout; the salad was not only flavorful but also generous in size—we easily shared it among three adults. All of the main courses were outstanding, but the penne with Sunday sauce (complete with short rib) was, hands down, the best dish. I can’t even put into words how amazing it was. The cocktails were fantastic too—the GOAT drink was particularly unique, combining reposado with cinnamon, which was a delightful surprise! The service was exceptional; our waiter and all the staff were incredibly friendly. The ambiance inside the restaurant was charming, making us feel like we were dining in someone’s cozy home. My eight-year-old niece joked that it felt like we were in Harry Potter because of the warm, vintage atmosphere. It was clear that many diners were locals or regulars, contributing to the restaurant’s warm and welcoming vibe filled with laughter and conversation. Since we were celebrating two birthdays, our waiter surprised us with two bowls of gelato—vanilla bean and dulce de leche—each topped with a candle. On top of that, we ordered the crème brûlée, which was the best I’ve ever had. I can’t wait to return and explore more of the menu. I definitely want to try the pizza on my next visit; I saw a few being served, and they looked incredible! I’m really looking forward to our next experience here—this place is an absolute gem!

Tomas was our on-site manager, and he was an outstanding coordinator for the event. He checked in with me constantly to ensure everything was going smoothly and provided clear explanations of our setup and meal options. But the highlight was the food—it was exceptional. The calamari and shrimp appetizers were the best anyone had ever tasted, and the dinner featuring tri-tip, salmon, and pasta was simply incredible. Thank you, Paul, Tomas, and the entire staff, for providing such a fantastic experience. Your team truly understands the meaning of service. Best, Barry Stewart

To start, I ordered the calamari, which was hands down the best I've ever tasted. It was beautifully presented, and the accompanying sauce was utterly delicious—definitely a 10/10! For my main course, I opted for the halibut, a special the waiter suggested. I’m so glad I took his advice; the halibut was tender and flavorful, with every bite more satisfying than the last. The lemon caper sauce paired perfectly with the fish, while the spinach and potatoes complemented it beautifully. I enjoyed a glass of Josh red wine with my meal, which was a great choice. My friend chose the seafood linguini, which was equally delightful! Typically, I skip dessert, but everything was so scrumptious that I felt compelled to indulge. I went for the Italian Gelato cake, and it was incredibly tasty! I concluded my meal with a rich espresso. Overall, it was an amazing restaurant with delicious food, and I can't wait to return!

My husband and I had a wonderful dinner here. We ordered the penne w/short ribs, lasagna and the incredible bread pudding. Amazing food and great service!
