    Blackened Carbonara
    Sophea T.

    Overall very mid. Our biggest issue was the service. We were seated and waited almost 30 minutes before a server greeted us, and from there everything moved extremely slowly. Water, bread, food, checks... all of it took a long time. Our server was kind, but the pacing was frustrating. We were also confused when five of us were given only three pieces of bread while nearby tables had one per person (the bread itself was good though) I got the margherita pizza and all of us agreed it tasted like the margherita pizza we used to get in our college dining hall. Not bad, but definitely not what you expect from a restaurant. My friend's caprese pizza was better and had more flavor, but still nothing special. Another friend got the spicy scallop and shrimp pasta and felt it wasn't spicy and was lacking flavor. While the company was great, each of us had our own reasons for leaving a bit disappointed.

    Solid food selection, the staff is attentive and competent. The restaurant has a welcoming atmosphere for both family and couples date night.

    Meat Lover's Pizza

    Speaking only about the pizza, it was pretty good. Wood fired pizza here is served in your personal pan 10" pizza. The pizza quality is pretty good and is thin crust-like. The toppings my friend noted were on the saltier side should you be picky about salty meat on pizza. I tried it and saw where she was coming from, but meat lovers...well has a lot of meat! Brace your cholesterol! For my table bread lovers: one of my favorites and quality is far above your local chain restaurants. Good chance you may ask for seconds! The ambience and service is good and presentable. Definitely a place where you could take a person on a date or taking someone out for food. I'll have to try the other food, but I'd definitely get the pizza again if I wanted pizza, but didn't want to completely tank my diet.

    Truly the definition of mid. The only saving grace is the outstanding bread that they give out to the tables. The pasta is clearly from a box and the sauces were under seasoned. We had the wings as an appetizer and those were bad too. The ranch sauce was bottled hidden valley and the wings were soggy. If you're looking for Italian in Greenville then you can avoid Trio.

    amazing service, fresh food, great atmosphere. upbeat, family friendly! We felt like vips.

    Phenomenal food, service, and space! Great place to relax and unwind and chill after a long day.

    Lobster Bisque

    The lobster bisque was thick and creamy. Wasn't impressed with the calzone. The bartender was very nice.

    I think the last time I stepped into this restaurant was 20 years ago & I'm not going to lie, it was still good now as it was then. The whole Italian restaurant vibe here is always on point. I love all the feels when you are sitting there, as you look around at the art on the walls and the brick oven in the back kitchen. The service we received was good and the food was also good. My seafood pasta was average after the second bite. It could have had more flavor to it, in my opinion. It was good, but nothing to brag about. Now that fresh, warm loaf of bread with olive oil and freshly shaved Parmesan they give you is my favorite! My husband devoured his blackened carbonara and my son thoroughly enjoyed his plain cheese pizza with spinach. There are many other Italian restaurants in Greenville to rant and rave about when it comes to the food, to be honest. However, Trios still has it. This spot has one of the best locations in town and it's not bad.

    Excellent, casual dining spot in downtown Greenville. Decent size restaurant with a pretty traditional Italian menu. The highlight is the Woodfire pizzas which are delicious. Pick your favorite 10 inch pizza and enjoy the fresh bread smothered in fresh Parmesan and garlic oil as you wait for your pizza to come out. The service was incredibly fast, and the prices were beyond reasonable given the fact that this restaurant is right in the middle of downtown.It was an absolute highlight to our Saturday in someplace. We will definitely go to again when we are back in town.

    Rooster Club Lunch
    Brianna S.

    A Friend recommended this place so decided to try it out. Was not disappointed. Got the rooster wrap with sweet potato fries and it hit the spot! The wrap was filling and so delicious! There was plenty of sauce and fries which as a foodie I love. Nothing like a place that gives good portions for a good price. Would come back again and highly recommend!

    Crème Brûlée
    Heidi W.

    Prices were slightly above average. We went during lunch. I got the blackened chicken cesar wrap. It had some sauce on it that I didn't like, so I wouldn't recommend that. Fries were very yummy and crispy. Ranch didn't have any flavor. Crème brûlée was delicious!! Soo good and a big portion size. The staff were very kind.

Coming in, there were many tables available, so I just sat at a hi-top community table, since I was alone. The young lady taking care of me was very friendly and did a nice job giving me her feelings about the menu. I opted for one of the subs she liked, the STP Dipper. I asked for their pasta salad as a side. It was made pretty quickly and delivered to the table and looked pretty good. Unfortunately, it came with their potato salad instead of the pasta salad I asked for. I say "unfortunately" because they make a sweeter version and I think it might have pickles. So, I tried it - Didn't like it. So, when she came around to check on me I pointed out to her that I got potato salad and she quickly apologized and went and got me a side of pasta salad. The pasta salad was a little odd, it was sweet too, but had some interesting ingredients. I tried a few bites, but wasn't a fan. As for the sub - it was pretty good! The sauce they give with it, the Formula 45 was also on the sweet side, but the description seemed to make me think of fast food special sauce (A.K.A. Big Mac sauce) and this definitely was not that, it was much better. It works pretty nicely with this sub's ingredients and I really liked the bread and the pop of bacon bits on it really brought it together nicely. Overall, I would most definitely return and wished there was a location closer to me so I could try more of the menu, as I feel I missed out on other options that might have been better. I'm VERY disappointed in their horrible sides, as least the two I tried. I feel they could improve there. Service was very nice and made up for the poor sides.

    I'm so glad we found this little gem while searching for a great burger in downtown Greenville!…read more This small burger joint, tucked just off the main street, completely exceeded our expectations. Everything is made from scratch; from the fresh burger patties and soft, homemade buns to the delicious pralines they hand out as a sweet palate cleanser at the end of your meal. You can absolutely taste the difference. The restaurant is small with limited seating (first come, first served), with seating along the windows and down the side, and a couple of outdoor tables. You order at the counter, grab your number, and then find a seat. Even though it's a casual, fast-service restaurant, the hospitality was anything but ordinary. We were greeted the moment we walked in by the sweetest older gentleman whose genuine Southern hospitality made us feel so welcome. He even stopped by to chat with us during our meal, making the whole experience feel warm and personal. The food was outstanding! My burger was cooked perfectly....juicy, flavorful, and served on one of the best hamburger buns I've ever had. It was incredibly soft but somehow never got soggy or fell apart, even with all the cheese and sauce. They offer about 10 different flavor options for burgers. They even offer grilled chicken sandwiches and Open face burgers. I ordered the Sawyer Burger ($13.95), topped with chili garlic glazed pork belly, Asian slaw, and crispy onion straws. It was absolutely delicious and well worth the price considering the quality and generous portion. The fries deserve their own review! So many burger places treat fries as an afterthought, but not here. The portions are huge and perfectly seasoned. I chose the Buffalo Blue Cheese fries, and they were packed with flavor. I wish I'd had room to try the Parmesan fries, which sounded like a customer favorite. Even the tiny bathroom was charming, covered in funny and quirky signs that made me smile. If I lived in Greenville, I'd definitely become a regular. Amazing food, generous portions, homemade quality, friendly service, and true Southern hospitality. I can't recommend this place enough!

The cashier was upbeat and excited about the food they serve. First time at this spot. Not too busy, but it was Thursday night and it's out of the way. Cashier gave recommendations, but I went rogue and got the Falafel Pita sandwich with a side salad and really enjoyed that. Really nice flavor combinations and filling. The sandwich comes with roasted peppers, heirloom tomatoes, artisan lettuce, beet hummus (surprising good), and refreshing alfalfa sprouts that seem to work for this sandwich. The dressing is super zingy, be sure you like lemon (I do) as that's really pronounced in that dressing. The sandwich is rich so I definitely recommend getting the salad with that one. My spouse got the Sandwich special: Burrata Sandwich (Ciabatta roll, burrata, steak, peppers, onions) with fries. The fries were plentiful and warm but not blazing hot. There's a self-serve soda station, condiment station, and paper to-go boxes. This spot would meet the bill if you are looking for a sandwich / salad spot for an intimate date night or fun time with friends.

Hubs had the meatballs (which the server said they only had two left...a friend nabbed the others) and other friends had the moules (mussels) frites and the braised short rib IIRC. The *.frites were the biggest hits. My filet was perfect, Sharon was raving about her mussels being the best she's had in ages. I had a bite of the meatballs, they were ok but people agreed there are better things on their menu. I love that the frites come with a choice of 3 out of about 10 different custom mayos (aiolis for the fancy-schmancy). I tried the curry, sriracha, and a fruity one I can't remember exactly what it was. I liked the fruity one the best and to my surprise, the curry the least (I usually love curry, but the balance was off). The sriracha mayo was too subtle for me, I slather sriracha mayo on my burgers regularly. I have no class. The frites were fresh cut and I enjoyed them but there were far more than I could eat on my plate, and sadly frites don't keep. They have my favorite super sweet Lindemann's framboise lambic on tap; I've only ever had it in bottles before, so that was a treat. My husband thinks I'm crazy to drink it because it is SO SWEET but I love it. So does Sharon, and clearly we're not alone or they wouldn't waste a tap on it :). It's beer for people who hate beer. (I resemble that remark. Maybe hate is a strong word. But in my 30s I realized I'd rather drink a soda than a beer, except for this one.) Desserts sounded good but we were too stuffed to order any. Next time I come, I may try the mussels, or I might just order that steak again.

It's in a basement that feels like a pleasant dungeon or a 1500's rogue tavern, you know, the kind in the movies where plots to overturn evil rulers are hatched. It is a unique vibe and after your meal, when emerging back onto the brightly lit street, it's akin to stepping out of a secret place and back into the light of day. The beer selection is impressive. This food is Belgian inspired. Hence the name being derived from a mix of Trappist Monks, trap doors, and a hidden underground enclave. Many of the beers have higher alcohol content, listed on the menu, be advised. The specialty is Moules Frites, mussels prepared in various broths and fries double fried in duck fat served with a flight of your choice of flavored mayonnaise such as wasabi, curry, truffle, sriracha, etc. Very good. Reservations are highly recommended. It was a busy Thursday at 6:30pm and the place was literally packed, even the bar. The two of us were seated in a large, dark, alcove booth fitting for six or perhaps even eight. We had a reservation, so the hostess said, "we may as well fill it" since it was that crowded. Being such, it was five minutes before we were noticed and placed our drink orders, another five before our water arrived and we ordered and about 30 minutes later to get our food. In between we were left to ourselves. The service was not negligent, but it was minimal and not really friendly either. It was a busy night, so we will have grace. But the mussels were delicious. We both had the Provincale, a rich, savory, Mediterranean sauce of tomatoes, garlic and white wine. Bourdain says "never order the mussels", in his Kitchen Confidential book, but here you are safe because they are very popular and the main feature. I've probably said this before and it is worth repeating, they need to up their crusty bread game. The broth is so good and the accompanying bread just doesn't lend itself to bringing the dish to another level, but it could were it better bread. This is a solid and must do restaurant experience when visiting Greenville. It arguably should be the "one" restaurant you must visit in town because of its unique ambiance and unique food & beverage.
