Trama's Trattoria

A gorgeous contemporary yet romantic spot to enjoy perfectly crafted cocktails and scrumptious food. The Fra Diablo special was soooooo good, as were the Mussels we're delish - enough to share for us. Service was top notch and just wow!! Def going back - what a lovely spot! A New Jersey restaurant with the quantity and service of a Manhattan restaurant. Simply amazing!

Trama is by far the best restaurant on the Jersey shore. The food is always incredible. Every dish is more creative than the next and the flavors are outstanding. The atmosphere is energetic while having a very elegant vibe. Pat Trama is a master chef that knows how to make the most flavorful dishes. This is our regular spot for delicious drinks and fantastic food. But this is also the perfect place for a special night out. The staff is always professional, knowledgeable and courteous. Andrew, Rob and Sean make every visit special.

I’m not even really sure where to start. From the second I walked in I loved the decor and overall cleanliness of the restaurant. The waiter we had was extremely friendly and helpful with any questions/concerns we had also. I ordered the seasonal drink the Winter Wonderland Margarita and wow was I impressed by the taste, if you are into sours this is certainly the drink for you! Then lastly came the entree which was a chicken parmigiana dinner that I ordered off the specials for the evening. Not only was this chicken thinly sliced and massive but it quite possibly may be the best chicken parmigiana I’ve ever eaten. This restaurant is small though so I recommend making a reservation in advance because there’s a good chance you’d wait a bit as a walk in. Hope this review is helpful for anyone looking for a nice night out at a high quality restaurant!

Our favorite Date Night spot. We love the food, people and ambiance. We even have a steady drink order. My husband gets the 923 created by bartender Andrew and I love the It’s Lit. As for food; where to begin? Some of our favorites include the cacio de peppe, artichoke salad, and truffle ravioli. trust me when I say, the food never disappoints. Like ever. What more can you ask for? I want to go right now!!! P.S I made my husband bring back their food to the hospital after giving birth to my second baby. So I think you should try it lol

Not only was our food delicious, but the cozy warm feeling in the restaurant was just the perfect setting. We opted for bar seats, which was a great choice for just 2 of us. It was like a happy family, we were chatting with 2 other couples before we knew it. Highly recommend. The bartender Rob was awesome.

We were referred to this gem by a good friend of the owner and I am SOO glad he did. The place has such a cozy upscale feel but not in a stuffy way. It’s not a large place BUT the spacing is great as you don’t feel like people are on top of each other. Started with a Caprese salad, then hot bread and oil then on to starters calamari and the mussels where we also dipped the bread in the sauce!! Of course that’s all I needed as o was beyond full BUY then I had one of the best pork chops I eve had. It sat on polenta and a balsamic Demi glaze sauce. It was to die for! Wife had Orecchiette- broccoli rabe, garlic oil, crushed red pepper, parmesan reggiano! Finished with cappuccino and of course Ricotta cheese cake….BOOM!! Not if WHEN a you go say hello to Andrew a server there. Makes you feel like your right at home 👍🇮🇹🍷 5*****

Trama’s Trattoria is definitely the BEST restaurant in Long Branch! The owner is the chef, and he cooks each dish to perfection! The sauces are true authentic Italian sauces! They have so much flavor, and they are so delicious! Tonight we had the garlic bread and meatball with polenta for appetizers both were so good! The polenta he makes is INCREDIBLE! For dinners we had the chicken Parmesan and bucatini Cacio e peppe both were EXCELLENT! The chicken Parmesan was so tender, and the sauce was so flavorful! I’ve had his ricotta cheesecake on my last visit, and it was delicious! I wish he would add the carrot cake to the dessert menu. He had as a special awhile ago, and I loved it! I highly recommend dining at Trama’s Trattoria in Long Branch!

Really great Italian food and fantastic service. Probably the best quality in the area. Highly recommend the garlic bread and the pastas. Branzino was also spectacular. We ate outside due to coronavirus, but it was a great time. The Caesar salad was also pretty good and was served with real anchovies (we got ours on the side)
