J Trani's Ristorante

Second time to Jtranis since moving to Pedro and we've decided this will be our monthly date night spot. The food is delicious. The calamari Milanese app was absolutely AMAZING. We were raving about it all night and the next day. It was light and so rich in flavor. Not overwhelming, not greasy. not too garlicky. Pastas always hit - got the uni linguine and butternut ravioli. Ravioli was especially good, given its handmade.drinks are on point!Service is great - everyone is super nice and welcoming.

Pork belly and short rib rigatoni was so good. Came here for a pre valentine's day dinner and it did not disappoint.

One of San Pedro's gems. Their smoked swordfish is amazing. They also have a really great Rib Eye. Any of their soup, salad or pizzas...you can't go wrong. Pasta dishes are all excellent. They make a solid martini, just about any type, and a great wine selection. The atmosphere is old world Italian and there is always plenty of parking around the area.

My favorite restaurant in Pedro. The service is always great the only sucky part is how hard it is to get a table! I try to just sit in the bar whenever it's open. I could sit in there for hours. The short rib pasta is to die for and all the pizzas are always good. We got the prosciutto and fig pizza this time and added some arugula to it. Shared a bottle of wine and got some tiramisu and I was cooked. The best in town

Love this hidden gem in San Pedro worth the drive from Redondo Beach ! I love the ambiance old school italian with a low top half circle bar . Service is always on point . The bread is so good and the Caesar salad is a must try. I love there pastas and i add on the chicken sausage you wont believe how good this restaurant is .

Lovely restaurant, amazing food! I can't sing my praises enough!The ambiance of this restaurant is classy and intimate. It's perfect for dates and small groups. The music is also great! I wasn't expecting the place to have so much soul!My server was absolutely amazing! He was helpful with my questions about the menu, and sold me on a special that wasn't on the menu, but I'll get to that in a moment. To start, I had the calamari, which was truly the best calamari I've had in my life. It was plated more elegantly than I've ever seen calamari plated, and the sauce on the calamari was absolutely delectable. 10/10!For my entree, I had the halibut! This wasn't on the menu, but it was a special the waiter informed me of. I went with this suggestion, and was not disappointed. The halibut was plump and perfect, every bite better than the next! The lemon caper sauce was absolutely delicious, and the spinach and potatoes were the perfect compliment to the fish. I paired my meal with Josh red wine. My friend had the seafood linguini, which was also delicious! I usually don't get dessert, but the food was so delicious, I guess I was in a good mood. I went with the Italian Gelato cake. It was EXTREMELY YUMMY! I finished the meal with espresso.Amazing restaurant, delicious food! Definitely will return!

Great atmosphere and appitizers. It was great place to go after work with friends and just unwind

Used to be great... maybe it was just that night because there were sooo many table doing their Christmas party - the kitchenMay have been slammed.

This 3rd generation. classic Pedro establishment is a must for the Italian connoisseur. Starts with decadent Fresh Bread to get your palette in the mood. From the new style calamari (mouth watering forevermore) Mediterranean goodness to the Neapolitan style pizza's and savory well constructed Pasta dishes and Italian heaven that's all the notes. The staff is 5 star and the locals come by the drove to post up and soak up the Trani essence.

A $2 fee to split a dish is really pathetic and dishonest. It doesn't cost any extra work to serve a salad on 2 different plates. Be for real. And to not be upfront about the fee? I think not.They also charge $3 to have anchovies in the Caesar salad. A Caesar salad without anchovies is certainly something, but not a salad Caesar salad.Shame because the food is tasty. But these service charges are really miserly. Plenty of outstanding restaurants that don't shove these nefarious fees. Go to one of those.
