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.

We had an office Christmas party. Our table was ready on time and located and a nice corner. The pork chop, flat bread, tiramisu and warm chocolate cake were outstanding.
