      Absolutely love Trenta! Made a last minute reservation on a Friday for a late time. Was able to call and leave a message to request an earlier dining time or cancellations. One of the owners called me right back and offered an earlier time and was very friendly! Food is absolutely fantastic. I ordered the special, a shrimp linguine in an oil based sauce, absolutely wonderful!

      It was our first time at Trenta and everything was amazing.
      Our server Gabby made some great suggestions for food, wine, and cocktails. She made us a cocktail called Purple Vespa and it was absolutely delicious. Since it was 5 of us she suggested their signature 30-inch pizza and we all loved it. We also got Mushroom Ravioli and those were super delicious too.
      We loved everything about the restaurant, the food, drinks, service, and the ambiance and we will come back. They definitely deserve 5 stars.

      I don't get out a lot , but I am glad I got to enjoy this restaurant.
      The food is amazing , the ambience top notch , and the service is incredible. Like seriously , you don't see service like that anymore . The owners were constantly checking in and making sure we were taken care of.

      We had the Trenta pizza and tried multiple pizzas. Also some appetizers and pasta, but let me tell you , the desserts. Oh my , you have to try them.

      I will definitely be back !

      My friends and I came on a Wednesday night with reservations at 7:45pm. Service was great in the beginning, however, once it was closing time, the waiters were rushing to clean up our plates. 8:30 is too early of a closing time considering they were taking reservations at 7:45. Anyways, there are plenty of seats outside and a few inside. Decor is simple, classic Italian. Parking is valet only for $8 or you can find parking elsewhere and walk over.

      We ordered everything to share: trenta trio ($66), ravioli al funghi ($22), tagliatelle al brasato ($25), and spaghetti alla carbonara ($22). For the pizza trio, we chose bari, caserta, and analafu. The crust is extremely thin which is my favorite, but the middle section became very soggy. The bari was great, freshness from the arugula, saltiness from the prosciutto, and creaminess from the burrata. The caserta was the best; I really enjoyed the prosciutto and truffle oil paring. However, the crust was really wet and lost its body. The analafu was good but our least favorite. It was on the drier side, so the crust was nice and crisp. The best pasta dish was definitely the ravioli; the filling and sauce were delicious, and pasta thickness was nice. Carbonara was just ok. Nothing really spectacular, and the sauce was kinda lumpy. Not sure if the yolk was a little scrambled or the parmesan. The ragu was so disappointing... Although tender, the short rib was bland, lacking flavor, and tasted like boiled beef. Tagliatelle thickness was a tad thicker than I'd like. We also ordered cocktails, and those were yummy!

      Overall, trenta was pretty good. Some dishes better than others. The trenta trio pizza was a really fun experience to share with friends! Service was rushed. Not sure if I would come back.

      There isn't really anything special about this place other than the fact that the vibes were nice and the indoor and outdoor seating are both aesthetically pleasing. I came here with my boyfriend and 3 other friends for dinner on a Wednesday. We made reservations at 7:45 and you will only be seated if at least half your party has arrived which I totally get. I just wished that on a cold night like tonight, they turned on more heaters for people to wait in the warmth. Parking is valet ($8) and they take both card and cash.

      For the food:
      - carbonara was creamy and umami packed from the pecorino. It was probably the best dish that we ordered this night in my opinion. The guanciale were thick cut and delicious to bite into in comparison to the creamy sauce.
      - ravioli Al funghi was a hit with my friends but beyond the sauce, I thought the filling of the ravioli lacked flavor. Like the carbonara, it was creamy. However, I didn't taste any brown butter or sage but that could be just me.
      - tagliatelle al Brasto was so mid. It had no other flavor beyond meat. I'm not talking about a slow cooked tender flavorful meat. It was more like plain meat; as if it were stewed in nothing but water. I wish there were some traces of spices/herbs. Even something as basic as onion or garlic. Unfortunately, this plate lacked any flavor.
      - we ordered 3 pizza that I'll quickly run down. The bari was the best, burrata, prosciutto, and arugula on thin charred crust. However, not enough burrata on each slice. Only one lucky person will be able to enjoy all the flavors. The amalfi had a little spicy kick to it but man was it dry. Felt like there was no sauce. In contrast, the caserta was soggy. Though it had that truffle smell, the pizza fell apart trying to transfer it over onto a plate. Prosciutto was also skimped out on.
      -tiramisu martini did not taste like tiramisu. If anything, it was a simple espresso martini. Still good, strong, but definitely does not resemble tiramisu. The foam on top looked like the remnants of a bubble bath.

      We weren't aware that the restaurant closed at 8:30. We were seated at around 7:50, ordered by 8:00 (I'm the type to look at the menu and figure out what to order before even arriving), and served by 8:20. I wish the host/waitress told us that they closed at 8:30 so we would be aware of the time we had. My friend was in the middle of eating her pizza and placed the crust down on her plate when the waiter instantly came over and started clearing our table. Please note that we still had food on the table. Plates, forks, and knives taken before we could even say we were done. We were asked if we wanted boxes to take home leftovers before we even asked for the check. Mind you, we were still very much in the middle of eating, now without any plates and utensils. We felt so rushed that my friend had to sandwich two slices of pizza together to eat. Honestly, if you close at 8:30 and you want everyone cleared and out by 8:30, don't allow reservations past 7:30. It was absurd.

      Probably wouldn't come back. Most likely won't come back. It was a decent meal at a little high price but nothing stuck out enough for me to justify the experience I had and it definitely does not encourage me to come back. I'm located in LA and could only come here for dinners since I do work.

      I loved the trenta trio for sharing! It was the perfect size for 3-4 people. All of the pizza flavors were scrumptious. The Hugo spritz was super refreshing
      Service was kind! Heads up that you basically need to valet or park on kind of far street parking which is very slim. The restaurant is pretty small and doesn't accommodate a lot of people but it's quaint and intimate!

      The food and service are excellent here. It's a great spot to have a date night.

      We ordered the Trenta salad - Mix green / goat cheese / walnuts / blueberries / apples / mustard vinaigrette

      Bari pizza - San Marzano tomato / sundried tomato spread / mozzarella / prosciutto / arugula / whole burrata on top.

      The pizza crust could be crispier and the pizza less soggy. It was still very delicious.

      Cioppino - Seafood Broth / clams / mussels / shrimps / calamari / white fish / tomato / garlic / parsley / bread.

      This soup was really tasty.

      All in all, it's a good spot to get some Italian food and pizza. Kinda reminds me of my favorite spot in Venice, Gjelinas sans the higher prices and the $8 valet fee...

      Felt and tasted like I was back in Italy!!
      The restaurant is located in a small parking lot, so valet parking is kind of your only option, unless you find street parking.
      I wish I could order everything on the menu. All the pasta and pizza selections looked amazing. We ended up ordering the burrata, calamari, Reggio Calabria, and Paccheri Al Pistacchio.
      Service here was amazing! Our servers gave us recommendations and even stayed to chit chat with us a little bit despite how busy the restaurant was.
      Overall, I would definitely come back to try more delicious items from the menu!

      Honestly this place may seem hidden yet it is truly beautiful inside and out! The parking can be slightly difficult when it gets busy but rightfully so. Their surrounding area is not as pretty as their interior and exterior.
      The service is delightful and they ensured that we were aware of the seating arrangements. My friends and I came here a couple of times with the ability to sit inside and outside!
      Because it's a family owned business, you can tell that they put love into their food! I'm not the biggest fan of pizza but this pizza is so worth! I love how you're able to get three types of different pizza and share amongst your loved ones.
