My family has been dining at Trama for a number of years. It is our go to restaurant in Monmouth County. This is because Pat and his team, especially his senior managers Sean and Andrew provide diners with a warm feeling of belonging. Generally, especially on weekends, diners sit at the bar and at tables. The menu is reasonable, not too many items and weekly specials fill any desires for something off menu. This allows the chefs to provide attention to detail in preparing appetizers, pasta and entrées. There never appears to be a hiccup in food quality, we never feel rushed between courses and the staff takes care of our needs. I highly recommend Trama for those seeking a upscale restaurant that you'll enjoy over and over agaion

Another great meal at Trama’s Trattoria- amazing shared appetizer butternut squash on whipped ricotta that I described as ‘luxurious’. Tuna and veal parm entrees both excellent. A warming dinner in a cold December night.
