From the moment we walked in, the elegant decor set the perfect atmosphere for a special holiday meal. Our waitress was attentive, friendly, and made us feel truly cared for throughout the evening. The food was absolutely unbelievable—authentic flavors with stunning presentation. Every bite was a delight! I especially have to mention the eggplant parmigiana; even my mother-in-law, who is notoriously picky, raved about it. It’s rare to find a place that checks all the boxes, but Tre Scalini exceeded all expectations. Thank you for making our Thanksgiving unforgettable. We will definitely be back!

Not an Italian restaurant, place was still from the 70s, we ordered food came out quickly, soup was just ok, salad was sad looking no Bree cheese in my wife’s and 4 pieces in mine, walnuts nasty no dressing at all,turkey was cut by someone who did not know how to carve because it was nasty fat and wet skin and bones and nerve in mine. She ordered white meat. Same issue except she received cranberry sauce I did not and the waitress. Did not come back till she brought us the check also who ice cream scoops the mashed potato and stuffing (DINERS) food was bland and disappointing and the special pie was burnt on the bottom so nasty hard worst experience ever , no excuse could be made up for this experience

Our waitress Carmen was wonderful, but the other waitress who randomly came over and kept saying are you done yet was rather rude. She also said that another party was coming in and there is a two hour limit on the table. We were there 1.5 hours at that point. I looked around only to see three other tables free, all had four place settings. Also, in the main dining room, there were a number of free tables.  if you are paying top dollar to dine, they should give you two hours without rushing you.

While the pasta was cooked perfectly, the dishes were bland and under seasoned (particularly the pollo carbonara). The chocolate mousse cheesecake we tried for dessert was decent. Overall, the service was the highlight of the evening. The food was average, at best.
