TRABOCCO - Key Persons
Christine Naish Naccarelli grew up in Kailua on the island of O'ahu. While her family found their passion in watersports, Christine spent most of her youth in the ballet studio. She left Punahou School to finish her last two years of high school at the Alabama School of Fine Arts where she received world-class ballet training. Christine was a student at UCLA (where she received her B.A. in Sociology) when she met Giuseppe. She serves on the Advisory Board of the Alameda Civic Ballet and performed in their annual Nutcracker production at Kofman Auditorium prior to opening Trabocco.
Giuseppe and Christine made Alameda their home in 1999. Daughter, Erynn and son, Nico both attended Otis Elementary and Lincoln Middle School. Erynn, an Alameda High School graduate is studied Chemical Engineering at University of Southern California (USC) and is completing a Masters in Material Science at the University of Texas, Austin. Nico spent a year in Italy after graduating from Alameda High School and is currently attending community college while working as one of our bartenders. The entire family is thrilled to bring great Italian food to their beautiful hometown!
Architect Lev Weisbach, of Weisbach Architecture|Design, found inspiration in the beautiful ‘trabocchi' of Abruzzo. The bright, open, and airy 90-seat dining room with a copper clad, table height fireplace features a 35-foot tower crowned by a large skylight and light sculptures inspired by fishing nets. The dining room offers intimate booths, tables, banquet seating, and a beautiful acacia wood Chef's communal table. The open kitchen, anchored by a black-tiled Stefano-Ferrara pizza oven, lets guests see the excitement of the kitchen in action and offers counter seating for front row views. The 16-seat private wine room is perfect for intimate gatherings, and the bar with communal bar tables pays subtle homage to sleek, sexy Italian sports cars and Vespas. The covered and heated outdoor area provides year-round dining, and the outdoor lounge area is the perfect spot to enjoy a Trabocco signature cocktail and ‘stuzzechini'
