Good food and excellent wait staff in a lovely location. Not too expensive either.

We were so looking forward to dining here. We have hearsay fantastic reviews, but unfortunately J.Tranis’s didn’t live up to the hype. I don’t get how an Italian restaurant serves Asian inspired preparation of dishes? Menu was quite limited, and I wasn’t really exited about much on the menu. It was Friday the 25th of Feb. and we were celebrating a birthday. The place was packed, we had reservations, yet were made to wait in the drafty waiting hall, while our table was set and ready??.? Once seated we ordered drinks. Appetizers and dinner were ordered at the same time. It was over an hour before we received the 2 appetizers. The waitress came by and apologized for the wait, but pretty lame . Once finished w/ appetizers, it took another hour to get meals. We had to ask for water, 3 times I asked for cheese and Chili’s for the pizza , didn’t get until the last 1/2 piece of pizza remaining. Finally the meals arrived. Fish dishes were very good, pastas not so much. The seafood pasta had zero shellfish, it only had salmon, a white fish and a couple shrimp. Sauce was heavy, not one of the better preparations. The Black Truffle Carbonara was overpowered by truffle, so not like any carbonara we have ever had, and we’ve had many in Italy. The breads were ok, the crusty variety was fine, but I don’t get jalapeño cheese bread in an Italian restaurant. As mentioned, it was a chilly evening and the door was open so servers could serve the outside customers. Unfortunately the wind blew straight to our table. Asked if it could be partially closed, was told had to be kept open for serving? So then don’t seat people in direct line of chill. Overall an o.k. Dinner, but close to $300 later, I would of maybe appreciated and offer of a complimentary drink or something to to soften the long, long, long wait we experienced . Hope they figure out menu, and staffing, and the concept of goodwill. Waiting for over two hours for a meal is a bit silly.

Food was amazing! Still thinking about it! Decor is simple friendly old world Villa style. But still—- food and drinks were the star of the show!i

The welcoming atmosphere, friendly and attentive servers, and the true REAL Italian dishes ❣️ You would want to try everything on their menus. But be aware, portion is quite generous. We will definitely coming back here many times. Thank you, Bobby!
