    Nice service but one meal set before the wrong person who started eating it so had to send it back and have it prepared again for right person. Charged 2 times for the same meal had to ask waitress to redo the check.

    Very disappointed in the food. It had been awhile since we had veal Marsala and when I ordered it, my husband did, too. One bite when it arrived was clear—whoever cooked it didn’t use the long-time Trombino’s recipe. It was terrible. We told our server, who said she would let her manager know. I barely ate one piece along with some of the pasta. Told the server we had no desire for the leftovers and ordered tiramisu which was delicious. They comped our dinner and we paid only for the wine. So disappointing from a restaurant we have patronized more years as one of our favorites. Not sure where to go from here.

    We were seated at approx 5:40. Our waiter showed up about 5:55 and pored water, left and came back and came back for our drink order. I asked if it was still happy hour and he said yes. When I ordered a glass of wine he said “it’s 6:01 and happy hour is over”. I mentioned we were seated earlier but he didn’t take our order until 6:01. Not wanting to ruin our evening I let it go. Later he showed up with my wife’s drink but I had to remind him about mine. The table next to us was surprised with a up charge that wasn’t disclosed. If Trambinos is willing to loose 6 customers over $5 they, well fill in the blank. The calamari was not fully cooked but our entries were good. The table next to us waited 1hour for their order we waited 45 minutes. Won’t be going back, would rather go to a restaurant that doesn’t change the menu by 1 minute.

    Everything was spectacular! Our waiter was prompt & very friendly. The bread and olive oil was a great starter! The bruschetta was tasty as I was able to taste the basil, the garlic, & the freshness of the tomatoes. We had the manicotti with two meatballs and the chicken piccata. The manicotti was el dente & the chicken piccata was so buttery and lemony. We finished with the tiramisu which absolutely amazing! It was all good and we will definitely be going back!

    Although the restaurant was busy since it was Father's Day, we were seated immediately as we had a reservation. Server was a delightful young lady who really seemed to enjoy interacting with us. We were there not only for Father's Day but it was our 57th wedding anniversary! Lasagna was as good as ever and we really enjoyed ourselves! We've been customers for 20 years and will continue to be!

    I always enjoy the veal piccata. The chicken piccata and the Bolognese were also enjoyed. The fresh crusty bread dipped into olive oil and spices could almost be a meal. So Good.
