    This was our first time at J. Trani’s. We loved the idea of the family restaurant history. The atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable. We like the historical photos. The service was professional, unassuming, and friendly. The food was excellent. Servings were large and fairly priced. Loved it and we will be back!

    We celebrated my husband’s birthday which unfortunately fell on a Saturday night, hence the noise level. I requested a quiet table when I made the reservation and we were seated in a corner booth, about a quiet as possible for Saturday. Our server was attentive, but not hovering. I had Majestic rigatoni, it was very good though I had already had two slices of the delicious bread and couldn’t finish. The birthday boy had the hanger steak and as typical ordered it well done. He said it was the best he had ever had. We were pleasantly surprised when our server said that by crème brûlée could be packaged to take home for his dessert. All together a most satisfying evening.

    Delicious as always. Great service from the minute we walked in the door we had friendly smiling faces. Wait staff was attentive and fast. Lasagna was meaty, full of tangy saucy. Very tasty. Wish I had room for dessert.

    This old school San Pedro institution serves consistently good Italian pasta, seafood, and meat. The “new style” calamari we always have is amazing. I love their hangar steak is my fav. But the swordfish! Wow!

    We hadn’t been to tranis in quite some time so decided to take a visit. My spouse had the Caesar salad…he enjoyed the salad but thought the dressing was a tad mayonaissy. His entree was the spaghetti and meatballs. He said it was just ok…not very unique. I had the butter lettuce wedge salad…I enjoyed it but would have preferred that they cut up the lettuce in edible bites vs having me cut the salad. For my entree I had the skirt steak…with the french fries. The ateak was delicious! I enjoyed it immensely. The fries that came with it were hot and tasty! I’m glad we went to tranis and hope to go back soon!

    Came here for my birthday dinner and it did not disappoint. Everything from the food to the cocktails to the extra touch by service …..10/10! They took the time to address a hand written birthday card that was waiting on the table when we got there. We ended up having scallops, calamari and I went with the grilled shrimp spaghetti. Ohhhhhhhmygod was it AMAZING! Every single thing was delicious. Thank you J Trani’s for a wonderful evening
