Reviews for Trombino's Bistro Italiano in Albuquerque, NM
I've driven by this place multiple times since I lived in Albuquerque over a decade ago. While back in town on business travel I... got the chance to pop in for dinner finally! I have to say that I feel disappointed I didn't go in earlier. The atmosphere iswonderful if you're looking for a nice restaurant to enjoy an anniversary or a celebrating a life event. I had the veilparmigiana with the Brutus salad and the orzo and sausage soup. I'm not one to typically have to take home part of my dinner butthe veil was such a gigantic portion I had to! Great service and wonderful atmosphere! Read more
Well known Italian restaurant that finally we could try it. Nice atmosphere and very clean restaurant and we got big round table... middle of the room .Our group had full course dinner . Our waitress was nice but sometimes we couldn’t find her! Let’s startwith drinks we had for different cocktails and beers. It took a while to have them specifically beer ones came last! It triedall cocktails but all were average ( kinda so sweet) and my favorite was Italian Sazerac. We had Calamari fritti combo. It wasbig portion good for our group it was delicious and fresh. As main course we got 4 different dishes Lasagna was the worst one.It was just like a cake with meat tomato sauce at top! Seafood Fra Diavoli was the best one with fresh shrimp , scallop, clamsand mussels. In general all of them were little bit salty! And here we go to my favorite part “Dessert “. We had Warm applecrostada with vanilla ice cream and Tiramisu cake! NOT good! First Crostada came cold so I asked her and she brought us warmerone but still not much warm and fresh! I never had a Tiramisu (cake) like this! Every Italian restaurant’s signature dessertis their Tiramisu but not this one! ???????? With this price category I prefer Scalo at Central Ave and for now I give them 3 ??till next time I go there. Read more
As with most businesses, Trombinos is short staffed. I kindly ask that your patience must be on an A+ level and to please make... a reservation so that way you won't have a long wait. Not too crowded at our arrival to Trombinos, but during departure tableswere filling up. Came here as a birthday request with friends. Alexas was our attentive, friendly server. Thank you forbringing us HOT bread Lemon Drop Martini was perfect and so was The Mule; both potent if you drank 2 of them. Ordered ChickenPiccata, Lobster Ravioli, fried mushrooms which were all scrumptious. Complimentary Birthday dessert was a beautifully drizzledSpumoni, 3 scoops. Give them a try, please, and enjoy some drinks and conversation while you wait. Bon appetit! Read more
The food was really good and the staff was very nice. We had a full course meal, and each course was prepared as requested. The... price to portions ratio was fair and they had a good wine selection. We had a good time on a rare night out. Read more
The menu is reasonable but to the point. The service is amicable and hard working. I had appetizers and dessert. I was not... disappointed. Try it! You might like it :-) Read more
Though the service was slow due to staff shortages.... the experience and food was wonderful for a first timer. Its a cozy and... romantic setting. I would highly recommend trying this place, I was not disappointed. Definitely returning. Read more
Delicious food and nice ambiance. Make sure you call ahead for reservations unless you arrive right when they open. This place... is very, very busy at dinner time. They have full dining options in the bar area but if the restaurant is packed, then the baris too and with only one bartender and server. Make reservations - the food is worth the wait though if you don’t. Read more
Enjoyed a delicious early dinner with my husband. He got an enormous ribeye, and I enjoyed the lobster ravioli. Everything was... so fresh! AND they had my favorite wine, valpolicella. We will definitely go back the next time I'm craving Italian! Read more
