    The food was pretty good. I had the salmon crusted Romano. It was pretty good. My girlfriend had the chicken piccata. She liked it. I tasted it and it was just okay to me. We had an apple strudel something for dessert and it was really really good.

    Great restaurant as recommended. We liked the quality of the food while we felt extremely rushed eating. We still had only finished half of our appetizers and were served the main course barely space on the table to place those. The waitress tried to constantly remove our food It was not a relaxed way of having a nice dinner snd conversation. We were not asked if we liked deserts or coffee or anything else. Just the check. If I spend $100 plus I like the time to enjoy my food. There was nobody coming after us so not a reason to rush.

    Can’t recommend Trombinos for a large group. They add a mandatory 22% tip and the server clearly understood this and provided the absolute minimum service. Slow to take the orders, told us to pour our own oil for the bread, orders were forgotten, food came out at various times over about 15 min. We couldn’t even get fresh grated parm and were instead told there was cheese on the table. Very disappointed.

    Our first time here.We were told that this is an Albuquerque staple and now we see why. The food was excellent . Meatballs were great, bruschetta had a unique presentation , chicken piccata and pasta were really good. Our only issue was that nothing was served hot. All of was warm. It won't stop us from returning.

    We had not been to Trombino's for a while, but we were glad we made it back. Our waiter, Angelo, was quite attentive and did a superior job of addressing our needs throughout our dining experience. The good was excellent. My partner had the lasagna and I had the chicken Marsala along with a lovely Montepulciano wine. We shared the tiramisu dessert along with coffee-liquor drinks. We highly recommend!
