    Garlic Bread
    Mia M.

    Trombino's is in a super unassuming building right off of Academy. Inside has a dark ambiance with an open bar area, and a packed dinning room. I had made a reservation a few days prior and it was almost ready on arrival. They gave the choice to wait for a booth or grab a table right away so we took the table. I wish we had waited for the booth! The seating situation was a bit cramped, passerby's kept running into my chair so I changed seats- then they kept running into the table lol. Our server was nice, it was just so crowded and busy. The food was great- Christian loved the chicken parm- my lobster ravioli was lack luster, there were more bell peppers in it than anything. I got about 4 ravioli and 5 shrimp in the whole dish. I will def be back to try something else!

    We went for our daughter's birthday, service by Matt was spot on. Drinks never empty, refreshed bread as needed. Caesar salad was delicious, chicken scallopini was so creamy, chicken piccata was full of delicious capers and the lasagna was perfect. Another great meal from Trombino's

    The metal my boyfriend bit into when he ate the Calamari Fritti Combo

    We recently tried Trambinos for the first time for my boyfriend's birthday dinner. The food itself was good, and we ordered the calamari as an appetizer. Unfortunately, my boyfriend bit into a metal piece that was in the calamari. We let our server Nadine know, and she picked it up, said "oh sorry," and walked away. There was no manager follow-up or additional apology, which was disappointing considering it was a safety issue. We also felt like the tone toward us was a little different compared to other tables. Overall, the food was good, but the service experience left us feeling uncomfortable for our first visit.

    Visiting here from Denver. Great restaurant, friendly staff, delicious food! The Gorgonzola crusted steak is amazing!

    fettuccine Alfredo with chicken
    Trinity L.

    I got the Alfredo and my friend got the lasagna and all i can say is . We cleaned our plates ! she loveddd all of her lasagna ! i took half home due to how full i got and immediately ate all of it the next day which was still great! even after the fridge ! ( i will say it microwaves similar to olive gardens Alfredo iykyk ) but damn it's amazing ! First time my friend and i have ever been ! Will definitely go back! only con of the whole place is the fact they don't have happy hour on fridays , and that they are so busy the parking lot is hard to get a spot . Besides that no complaints !

    Lobster ravioli
    Marie S.

    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

    Penne with meatball
    Kevin M.

    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.

    Tiramisu Cake

    We came here several years ago and it was good, but this time around it just went downhill. Food was ok: my wife loved the chicken piccata. It was well seasoned and the pasta that accompanied it was good. 8/10 My chicken parmigiana was just not good. It looked good but just felt like an over greasy soggy chicken. Caesar salad was overly tangy and just not edible. I ordered the Tiramisu, because that was the star of the show the last time I came. This time it felt, looked and tasted store bought. *just to be clear, when they offer you the soup or salad it is a side order and does not come with the meal, had I known, I would not have ordered it. Service: your probably wondering why I didn't say anything, well if they waitress had passed by some more, other than dropping off drinks, then I would have said something. We waited and waited but no one stopped by. She stopped by to drop off bill. Service 1/10 Ambience: it was nice, quiet and a good place to have dinner. Price: $76 total. 2 salads $10 1 chicken piccata 29 1 chicken parmigiana 24 2 salads 10 1 Tiramisu 10 2 waters 0

    Cesar salad

    I'll give three stars even though the food didn't really deserve it for the price Shrimp scampi was half veggies for $26 Shrimp didn't have much flavor or the sauce of the scampi ( scampi has carrots ) :( Bread was cheap white bread Cesar was good Tap water taste like chlorine Wine was good Service was good too

    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 Chicken About 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.

Float of kraken if you must, but use some Caribbean rum in there! Service was great, atmosphere left room for improvement. Great for a casual few drinks with your meal. Solid spot!

Crispy Brussels sprouts had great flavor but way too much cayenne pepper (which adds nothing but heat) my husband ate them but said he would prefer less heat. I had 2 bites and gave up. Baked brie was amazing I loved the granny Smith apples! My husband loved them too. We also got the hummus duo which has dates on it and I used a date in the brie that was fantastic! I'll ask for that next time! It was the bomb. Hummus duo was good the watermelon radish was beautiful on the plate but gave both hummus a bitter flavor. Shrimp and grits. We live in Alabama currently and this was our least favorite dish of the day. Shrimp were cooked well and so were the grits but there was just something else it needed. Parmesan cheese and some onions maybe. Greek salad delicious. The flash fried chick peas made it. We needed more dressing and the wait staff was prompt and sweet about it. Spicy Lime Ceasar was ok till he requested more dressing then it was amazing. I was afraid of ordering it but the dressing wasn't too spicy . White sangria I had was disappointing it was more of a 1995 wine spritzer than a wine infused with citrus which is the very essence of sangria. It was ok and had I ordered a wine spritzer I would say yummo but I ordered sangria. Pork Belly flat bread was the winner of the night the tomato jam made that dish. I would love more on it next time but we will definitely be ordering that dish again! Yes we had a lot of left over food! But I love sampling a menu and this menu has a lot to offer. We will be back to try 4 or five other things. I look forward to my return.

    Extremely disappointing experience at Sixty Six Acres…read more We walked in and were seated immediately on the patio. I had read so many positive reviews and was genuinely excited to try this restaurant. Unfortunately, we walked out without ever being served. While we sat there, multiple staff members walked past our table without acknowledging us. No greeting. No water. No "someone will be right with you." Nothing. Then another couple arrived after us and was seated in the same small patio area. They were promptly greeted, given water, and attended to by a waiter who seemed more than happy to serve them. Meanwhile, we were still sitting there trying to figure out whether anyone planned to acknowledge our table. What made the experience even more uncomfortable was looking around and realizing there were no other Black or Brown patrons in the establishment at the time. I cannot definitively say race played a role in how we were treated, but given the stark difference in service between our table and the couple seated after us, I would be dishonest if I said the thought didn't cross my mind. We eventually got up and left. Good food reviews mean very little if certain guests can sit at a table while staff repeatedly walk past them as though they aren't there. Whether this was discrimination, poor training, or simply terrible service, the experience was unacceptable and left us feeling completely unwelcome. We came prepared to spend our money and enjoy dinner. Instead, Sixty Six Acres made it very easy for us to take our business elsewhere.

Here is a link to their menu online: https://drive.google.com/file/d/148CplSivVBTXmrWlSO46WytoWdpd0REA/view I got the hard seltzer which was supposed to be $7 but I ended up paying $10 for a can of seltzer. Got 2 and the total without tip with tax was over $21. Seriously! that is friggin outrageous. I would have gotten wine if I wanted to spend that much. TRULY HARD SELTZER | 7 Hard Seltzer | 5.0% ABV Secondly, 7 out of 8 of us ordered food and 1 person had to ask for her crostini 3 or 4 times. Our lovely server did take it off of her check but nontheless, we were all done eating by the time she got her food and she was so gracious about it. Another thing: why can't I make a reservation in advance for a group of more than 4 when the place was clearly not busy at 4 pm on a Tuesday? We make 3 separate reservations for 4 people. This is a social group, and we meetup via MEETUP weekly. People will RSVP and then cancel. We had 12 coming and then 8 showed up. I am not certain we will resturn.
