My husband and I love Trombino’s and we stop here every time we are in Albuquerque. We had reservations so we did not have to wait long, we got a nice table and the ambience was great as usual. The food and drinks were amazing, especially the chicken marsala. One of our favorites.

We eat here almost every time we come to Albuquerque. Has been consistently good for 20+ years. This evening we started with the burrata which was very tasty. Wife had the tagliatelle and I had the cavatelli pasta. Both were delicious. Cocktails we started with were prepared perfectly. Decent wine list with a good selection of by the glass wines. Service was a bit slow due to several large tables and being one server short, but the manager checked on us several times and our server was friendly and efficient.
