    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!

    This has been our go-to restaurant for family gatherings for quite a few years. The service is always attentive but not intrusive and the food is great. Somewhat expensive but about average for a special occasion restaurant. Highly recommended!

    As usual it was delicious even though there’s always too much sauce on my entree. It was my husbands 75th birthday dinner and he was happy to have his veal, so worthy the 3 hour drive.
