The food is as ever authentic home style Italian cooking. They were so busy that I think the standard wasn’t quite as good as usual. My main course wasn’t hot enough. They made a mistake with the bill and even when I challenged it they weren’t exactly effusive in apology. Over £200 for lunch for 3 should have been carefully scrutinised

A Wonderful Dining Experience We visited Trinca last night to celebrate a birthday, and it was nothing short of amazing. The food was absolutely fantastic—every dish was delicious and beautifully presented. You can tell the chefs take great pride in their work. The owner personally looked after us, making us feel truly special and ensuring every detail of our celebration was perfect. It’s rare to find that level of care and attention these days, and it made the evening even more memorable. The wine selection was impressive, offering something for every palate and perfectly complementing the meal. Thank you for making our celebration so wonderful—we can’t wait to return!
