    We have been going to Trombino's for decades and it has always been good. Our most recent visit was the opposite. Caesar salad was essentially dry, made with bitter outer leaves of romaine. Came with no cheese. Bolognese sauce -what little there was on my penne - was essentially a cream sauce with chunks of fried ground meat and a little tomato favoring. Server got both salad and main orders wrong, so we had quite a wait. They really need to get their act together.

    My husband and I love Trombino’s and we stop here every time we are in Albuquerque. We had reservations so we did not have to wait long, we got a nice table and the ambience was great as usual. The food and drinks were amazing, especially the chicken marsala. One of our favorites.

    Great service. Servings are too large for most people. They should offer half servings
