Known for its "excellent service" and "amazing food" like the "new style calamari" and swordfish, it remains a "favorite" for many. The ambiance is warm, but can be "loud" at times.

We had a great experience. Very accommodating and helpful. Staff was very nice and musician was great. Some of my guest had never been to J. Trani’s before and cannot wait to go back. Thank you for making this birthday dinner special.

Very disappointed in Trani’s! We’re given the worst table in the restaurant! A tiny table at the bottom of the ramp. This table shouldn’t exist! When you sit at this table, you are at eye level with all the butts that are sitting at the table above you! Which made the ambience horrible! The people at the table above us were very loud, so I couldn’t hear my guest. Menu was very limited as it was valentines weekend which was not mentioned when I booked my reservation. I came there for pasta and they only had one option for that at fifty dollars. My guest wanted the steak that they always get, but that wasn’t on this limited menu. Had drinks and an app and left! Horrible experience!
