    You will never regret dining at Trombinos. The food is excellent, great variety and superb taste. Homemade bread at the table. Made reservations for a BD party and lemon waters and plates etc we’re all set up. Server was great. Wonderful experience for our event!

    Hadn't been in a while. Nice to experience some things change little in the restaurant world. Nice to find Veal Parm. still exists, altho this serving was a tad too much. Nice sauce. G-son cleaned his plate of the Chicken Caprini. Unfortunately, can't recommend the Long Island Ice Tea; somewhat bland. Bottom line: A+ setting for Italian in the City. Ciao

    A long-time favorite for us. The food is always excellent and a new manager has taken over. Staff seems better trained as a result as I observed more of them taking care to ensure their customers understood the menu, were enjoying their food, etc. Very busy tonight so took a bit longer for our food to arrive but it was delicious, as always.

    Trombinos always has great food and has been a favorite restaurant of ours for 40 years. We enjoyed a fantastic dinner this evening celebrating a 70th birthday and Greg was a wonderful server. Everything was exactly as ordered in a prompt manner. Thanks for a delightful dining experience!!

    ALWAYS DEPENDABLY GOOD! The portions are always big and commensurate with the price. We had a new server and he did very well for a table of 9 people. Most people had pasta dishes while I had the pork chop which was excellent. Desserts were good and from a wide variety of choices. Kids were treated well, also.
