4.5 stars Came here on Thursday night... Staff was friendly and food came out (hot and) quickly. I enjoyed the atmosphere of the place. I got the lobster ravioli ($22) and my friend got the lasagna for $17.95. The creaminess of the ravioli sauce offset some of the flavor of the peppers. Both portions were large enough that we had leftovers to take home and the bread that came with the meals was good. A great recommendation by my aunt (as this is one of her favorite places). Would've liked to check out the dessert selections, but maybe next time 2024 #71

Complete letdown and disappointment. Initial service was acceptable. Took order. Delivered food in timely manor. Our adult daughters ordered Shrimp Scampi, Fettuccini Alfredo, wife had the NY Strip and I ordered the Chicken Marsala. Wife asked for her steak to be "well done/zero pink". All the food showed up at the same time. Immediately noticed wife's steak was far from well done. I actually reached over and cut into it and it was rediculously rare - if not cooked for 2 minutes each side and served. Asked them to take it back and take the time to do it right. Literally 4 minutes later the manager/shift lead/a new to us guy returned with what appeared to be a severely burned and externally seared piece of meat. He said "sorry about this, you'll love it this time" and literally turned to and walked away. Didn't even hang out to see or ask if it was alright. Strange as every place I've ever eaten at usually makes sure everything is ok if there is a complaint. At this point it was far more well done and had been cooked over way high heat to give it the appearance of an overcooked meat. Cut into it and it was still oozing with red. Wild. Called our waitress over and she had him come over and he offered to take it back again. Declined as at this point as it felt that they'd just rushed it to try and do something and the meat was already ruined. The manager suggested that it was the lighting and ambiance of the table but it was clearly his way of shrugging making it right. Understandably this is not a steakhouse so shame on us for assuming they had the mental capacity and experience to grill a steak to desired outcome. The unfortunate part of our experience tonight was that at no time did anybody, including the manager offer to get her something else instead. She literally sat for 10 minutes and shared food with our oldest daughter. He did back a final time and gave us a $35 gift card that we could use "next time."We were in a group of a few others and unfortunately somebody in our group paid the entire tab before I had a chance to find the manager. I didn't even get the chance to talk to him about MY plate in which the chicken was also severely undercooked and could be cut with a spoon. It was disappointing. I understand when restaurants might be understaffed, short handed or in a hurry but this isn't a McDonalds or Jack in the Box. If they want to stay in business or at least offer items on their menu, they should be proud of what they are pushing out the door and take the time to do it right. At least the crappy fast food guys get it right more than Trombinos did tonight for our guests.

My first visit to this very popular restaurant occurred on January 8, 2025. I was dining with a friend. The staff is very friendly and accommodating and professional. The decor is pleasing, yet has a relaxed feel. The menu has traditional Italian food choices. I did not peruse the wine list, but I I'm sure there are many good choices. My entrée was grilled Italian sausage with peppers. My dining companion had penne pasta with tomato sauce and a meatball. The Italian sausage was particularly tasty, I ordered the spicy. Strong sense of anus and not overly powerful heat. We split a chocolate mousse for dessert. Prices are very reasonable.

Truly disappointed in this place!!! My group ordered at 6:30pm and food did not come until 8pm! It was really the service and server that gave the 1 star rating. What we ordered for context:-House Tossed Salad (Romaine, Green Leaf, Spring mix, onions, tomato, cucumber, olives)-Farfelle Marinara Calabrese with ChickenAbout experience:-Server (Preston) was truly incompetent. Asked for things needed to enjoy the meal but either never got them or took forever. A great example is that I asked them why the salad was not physically tossed hence the name/a salad in general. He did not go above and beyond to ask us if he should take it back and have it made properly. Also, when asked how we serve said said, he did not have an answer. I had to ask for utensils and all he brought back was soup spoons; not helpful to toss our own salad....-As we found out, the server was waiting for everything to be made before bringing it out, which made everything come out cold. My pasta CAME OUT COLD! Ultimately, server should have brought over a manager but I guess that is not how the mind set is here in ABQ compared to the Los Angeles principles of service. I would not suggest this place at all! I am so shocked this place is operating with truly horrible guest servicing.

Friendly and prompt wait staff Nadine took care of every request! Food was delicious! Husband had a hefty portion of lasagne that was packed. My chicken Marsala was delicious and plentiful for another meal the next day! Our friend's birthday was being celebrated, and he had the veal parm which came with a side bowl of spaghetti. Tender and also plentiful! Everything was cooked to perfection. To top things off, the tiramisu was a perfect ending. Not too light or too dense...just right and with good flavor! A wonderful eve. Haven't had a bad visit yet! Look forward to more celebrations there!

I have tried quite a few places in Albq for Italian and i always seem to come back to Trombinos. This place has great food and a big variety to choose from. The ambiance is great for a date night. Service is always spot on and friendly. Try it once you will be hooked.

My biggest complaint honestly is that there is not enough seafood pasta option that doesn't contain tomatoes. I love Frutti de Mare but it has way too much tomato in it, I've asked for them to go lighter in the past, but still too much for my health issue. Shrimp scampi is too common and boring that it's not as exciting. The ambiance is nice, it's not too stuffy neither is it too casual. The desserts are always pretty yummy!

An authentic Italian family-owned restaurant does not disappoint! We visited this restaurant during the first weekend of Balloon Fiesta 2024 , so there was no open seating available, but we were fortunate to be able to eat in the bar room. I had chicken bow tie pasta and my wife had chicken Parmesan. Big portions, nice staff. We took a walk through the restaurant and it is beautiful! We will return...

This was a lovely and classy experience for our family. The environment definitely depicts the Italian vibe and the atmosphere just wraps you and makes you feel you are actually in Italy. This is definitely a nice place to take out your loved one on a date. The service is efficient and effective. Our waitress Maria was excellent and was constantly checking that our needs were met. The food was delicious and we were beyond surprised on how on point the food was. The chicken scallopinni had the right balance of lime and wine to it. The artichoke on top of the chicken was chewy on top of the dish and gave it this beautiful aroma.
