    Worst service I’ve encountered in the desert. Not worth even trying this place with so many italian restaurants and other choices in the area. Food was as expected but the service and wait staff so terrible we had to walk out after apps. Understand why the place was half empty on a Saturday evening at 7pm.

    The ambiance was warm and friendly. The entrees were fantastic … chicken piccata and chicken carbonara. Portions were filling. The cauliflower ceviche was out of place at an Italian restaurant. It was a cold jolt of acidity that did not complement the meal. Bread and dip were great. Cappuccinos good. After dinner amaretto and biscotti provided by the house were much appreciated. Great touch! It made the night special. Very satisfied with our visit. Thank you!

    We had a wonderful time at Trilussas. Our dinner was great as always. I had the grilled salmon which was the best I have had. It came with asparagus and new potatoes which were done perfectly. My partner had carbonara with a chaser salad, both were great. It was a fun experience.

    Our waiter ANTONIO was GREAT, but the receptionist was very rude and impolite even though we had reservations. We were inside, but the door to the patio was open much of the time that caused a cold draft.

    It was an off night! Did they change chefs? The sauce was not flavorful and the chicken parmigiana tasted as though it had been frozen for too many months and then heated up. We usually have wonderful meals here but last night was a true disappointment.

    I hadn’t been to Trilussa is quite sometime, well before COVID started and I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. We both enjoyed are main course and the calamari was delicious. And the portions on everything was quite sizable. You won’t leave hungry. Very good service. The only slight no nothing problem was the noise level. With all the large tourist families there, it made it a bit loud. But in all fairness it was Thanksgiving week, so that was to be expected ANYWHERE YOU WENT IN TOWN. But all in all I would most certainly go back and recommend it as well. Great job!

    The waitress we had was excellent as was the food. My only issue was the hostess and folks checking in people were a complete disaster. We booked a reservation through OpenTable and when we arrived to advise them we were here, it took forever to get someone to even acknowledge us and speak to us. In fact, there were people walking in the door well after we arrived and they were just walking up to the hostess to speak to her and she was taking care of them before dealing with the people that had been there waiting.

    Last night we sat outside. It was a beautiful evening and we had Ana as our server. She was attentive and very sweet. my husband had the mushroom ravioli which were excellent and I had my favorite Caesar salad with salmon. It was a great evening, which ended and going to the balloon festival. We Love Trilussa and all their staff.

    Have been a patron of Trilussa for years and always appreciated everything about it. The last three times had not been as admirable. Service was spotty and uneven. The food was disappointing every time. Pasta was incredibly over sauced. We ordered the same meal every time and was disappointed. Hope it improves. Miss the old Trilussa!
