No matter when you eat at Trama's Trattoria, you always have an outstanding meal! The veal parmigiana and the rigatoni with sausage and peas were both absolutely delicious. We will always return !

Sean, our waiter, was amazing. Knowledgeable and passionate. The environment was warm and inviting. Very elegant setting. Food was spectacular. Chef Pat Trama has one great restaurant. Recommend highly

We had the baby artichoke salad and mussels as appetizers and both were fantastic. Presentation and taste were both great. For the entrees, we had the halibut and also the daily special, which was a red snapper. All entrees came with side dishes, but we also got a side of crimini mushrooms which were very tasty. This restaurant is not inexpensive, but it's worth it for a special occasion.

This has become my new favorite restaurant down the shore. I was there many years ago. Something has happened since then. The place has been beautifully updated and the food got even better. Service is superb from the moment you enter. Although not on the menu just ask. The chicken parm is the best but not to be outdone by the halibut. I don’t even usually like molten chocolate cake but I gobbled up this one. Great place!

This was our first time dining at Trama's and our reservation was at the bar. We ordered 2 apps, 2 entrees, and 2 rounds of drinks. It was about an hour and 20 minutes into the reservation when the entrees were cleared and after asking us if we were interested in dessert and handing us a menu, the bartender informed us that he could only offer us dessert to go because our seats were needed for the next reservation. l've never experienced this anywhere else, whether it was at the bar or at a table. When we asked why, he told us that a 2-person reservation has a limit of 90 minutes. Neither the hostess nor the bartender mentioned this previously. To make it worse, the bartender was snarky when we rightfully complained. Willing to bet a regular wouldn't have been treated that way. With a time limit, maybe the service should've been a bit quicker? Extremely disappointing and needless to say, that's our first and last dinner at Trama's.

Not only was this not stipulated when the reservation was made, the hostess didn't mention this when showing us to our seats, and the bartender never mentioned this when we first sat down. On top of this, he was snarky when we questioned why we could no longer order dessert. Extremely disappointing and needless to say, that's our first and last dinner at Trama's.

Pat trauma is the best! His food is consistently, the best anywhere in New Jersey... Andrew and Sean have been there for years. They continue to be the best that there is and keeping the dining customer completely satisfied!!!!!

Amazingly wonderful food along with great service made for a really lovely evening. Sat in the corner of the bar and had a great view of all of the goings on.
Always a lovely meal at Trama! Somewhat difficult getting a reservation but worth the wait. Appetizers were abundant and delicious, calamari crispy served with a tasty marinara sauce and side salad, “best mussels ever” by my brother, an Italian foodie, salads delicious , wonderful homemade squash ravioli, orecchiette with sausage also outstanding, and it went on and on. Always fantastic food and drink here!! And the wait staff is unbelievable!

Never a bad meal or dining experience. Chef Pat sets the standard of quality food. His staff especially Sean & Andrew are super nice and professional. We love this place !! Can't give you best dish bc it's all good.
As usual food is great drinks are poured well and service is attentive. Sat at the Bar the Bartender was engaging and knows his stuff had a great meal and awesome time will be back again and again.
