" I attended a small family gathering at Triestina last weekend and was thoroughly impressed. The food was rich and flavorful, reflecting true Italian cooking. Everyone present enjoyed their meals, and the pasta dishes received special commendations. The service was friendly, although a little slow at times. Overall, I had a pleasant evening, and I do recommend trying their ravioli dishes—they're out of this world! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Triestina for the first time last Thursday, and I can't stop raving about it! The moment you step in, you're greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere. We started with the bruschetta, which was perfectly seasoned and had fresh tomatoes. For the main course, I had the ravioli filled with ricotta and spinach, and it was heavenly! The dish was generously portioned and cooked to perfection. Our server was attentive and made excellent wine recommendations. I can't wait to come back and try more of their offerings! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Triestina was not what I expected. On one hand, the food we ordered was absolutely delightful, especially the linguini with clams. However, I was disappointed with the service. The staff seemed overwhelmed even though the restaurant was only half full, and it took a while for us to get our drinks. The ambiance was nice, but I left feeling a little rushed, which is not ideal for a nice dinner out. I would still recommend it for the food, but the service could use improvement. " (*Curated Review*)

" Triestina is my go-to Italian restaurant in the area. The food is consistently good—I've tried many items on the menu, from the chicken marsala to the seafood risotto, and I've never been disappointed. The portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable. The staff is usually friendly, but sometimes they seem a bit rushed during peak hours. Still, it’s a great place to bring family and friends for a delicious meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Triestina for a birthday dinner was memorable. The ambiance was lovely, and the staff made it even better with their attentiveness. I ordered the gnocchi, and it was heavenly! The portion sizes were quite generous as well. My friends had various entrees and appetizers, and everyone seemed satisfied. I would recommend the tiramisu for dessert as it was simply divine. This is definitely a spot I would love to revisit soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was so excited to try Triestina after hearing so much about it. The space was charming, but unfortunately, I found the food lacking in flavor and authenticity. I ordered the gnocchi, and it was quite bland. The service was adequate but nothing special. I believe they can improve on ensuring the quality of their dishes matches their reputation. I don’t think I will return anytime soon unless I hear better things. " (*Curated Review*)

" Despite being a bit on the pricey side, I think Triestina provides excellent value for the food quality. We had a large family gathering and everyone found something they liked. The server was friendly but sometimes hard to reach. Overall, everyone was happy with their meals, and the kids loved their dishes too, which is a plus. Some areas did feel a bit dated, but the prepped food made up for it. I'll return for the food! " (*Curated Review*)
