if i was a 7 year old kid again... this would probably be the most amazing place to have a party. and thats what i was here for... my 7 year old goddaughters 7th bday party. the back room my cousin rented out for her was cool... 4 lanes, plenty of seating, tables, and a jukebox. its nice!
if it had a better location im sure this place would be thriving, but its just so random out in lake elsinore! i think thats the only thing that creeped me out... is that it was so HUGE, had SO much going on... but didnt have too many people in there... -

When it was new, it was awesome. They do not maintain it as well as they should and it shows.
The bowling is great for the non-professional, but they need more lightweight balls for kids. The food service is slow, especially if you order it from the lanes but is good when it finally arrives.
They have a separate bar and sometimes it's faster to order your drink there than wait for them to take a drink (or food) order at the lanes.
The arcade is horrible, most of the games are always broke and quite simply a rip-off. Stay away from that.
The food is good, drinks are average but they need to learn Michelob Amber Bock is not an imported beer. They tried to charge extra for it even though it was listed under "domestic" (which it is) and told me it was a typo. Even though I explained that (1) it's domestic (2) it has been that way for months so it can't be a typo, (3) that's considered false advertising, and (4) I will only pay the listed price (which they finally conceded) they insisted the menu was old and would be updated. I went again months later and guess what? Same menu, same price. I didn't order it but was wondering what they would try to charge me.
They better improve management of this location or it will be another good idea ruined by management and service. -

At one time Trevi was a pretty cool place to go,but not anymore.. I was there last week to take my son and his friend, and i was shocked on how bad Trevi has become,
The Arcade, *WHAT A RIP OFF*half the games were broken, out dated, not some not even in English, no one to help if u had a question, as for the tickets, forget it, you might as well toss them in the trash, the redemption center was pad locked...The Bowling lanes, half the lanes were torn out for some "play area" which doesn't seem like it will be ever put in, food service? almost non existent, I have no clue what the owners are thinking, or are they just letting this place go...it's a shame, it had a lot of potential..I wouldn't be surprised if it goes out of business in the next few months..I definitely will not be back... -

This place was a little weird. It looks like at one time, this place may have been a 'happening place'. Half the lanes were closed due to remodeling supposedly for a new Birthday Party area... The place had a lot of gaudy tile and fountains and the bar area was partitioned off but not by floor to ceiling walls or anything, just by what appeared to be dividers sectioning it off from the rest of the area. The arcade appeared to be HUGE, but a lot of the arcade games were out-of-order. The lanes appeared to be outdated by current bowling lane standards. The food served looked good! We had just eaten prior to bowling so we didn't taste the food, but from what we saw, it seemed like it was delicious. The bowling seemed expensive as 3 kids & 1 adult for 1 game (no warmups) cost $30 w/ shoe rentals...

The only reason I come here is to see my friend's DJ on random Friday nights. The actual entertainment center is nothing exciting. The arcade is ok, a lot of the games were broken. Also there was no air conditioning, it was super hot inside. The prizes suck. Seriously a army man toy for 15 tickets? LOL. The bowling looks like fun, but I've never done it. There's always some kind of group of shady looking people hanging around out front, not my thing. The only really cool thing is the night club. The drinks are cheap, and the music is great.

I really didn't even want to give this place 1 star. I went here the other day to have a little fun at the arcade with a friend...and it was anything but fun. Not only was it hotter than balls outside...it was even worse inside with no AC working. On top of that, it was like we felt like we won the lottery when we actually found a game that DID work! There are no games in there that you can compete against each other because if one side worked, the other side didn't. No fun watching one person play the game as you sit there, sweating!! And to make it worse, all of the games were in Japanese so you had to basically figure out what to do on your own since you can't read or understand the directions the game gives. All in all...I wouldn't waste your time or money on this place. It's pretty lame.

My friends and I had a pretty fun time every time we have went, which is about 3 or 4 times. The place is HUGE. Which is pretty cool. The actual establishment is pretty neat, however most of the people who go there- that's a different story. Very trashy. We were at the bar and on the dance floor most of the time, and it was like watching a bad movie on LOGO.
Not my cup of tea. There were a few "normal" looking people there, but I would say 30% are the "bro and bro ho" retards that run around in SRH and KMK attire (typical Lake Elsinore folk) and the other 70% are freakish gay kids that look like they have AIDS at 18. I don't think I will be returning. The lay out is nice though. I am sure if a family went in the middle of the day for bowling it would be fine. Just stay away after 8pm. EEEK. -

I've been here on 3 separate occasions. Twice for work-related reasons and the other time for a birthday party. Each time was pretty much garbage. It gets really crowded during the weekends and there are so many kids running around. I'm sure this is a great place for your family but what caliber of family?
I wouldn't recommend it as a date place either. During the afternoon, the place is much more tame and a bit more enjoyable. But who goes out on a date at 12pm on a Tuesday?
Like I mentioned previously, this is great if you're a Stars and Straps kind of family. But if you dry-clean your clothes more than you launder them, don't even bother to exit the freeway.
No thanks, I just ate... -

Have been here a couple of times. Walk in and you are a bit dumbfounded by all the marble, statues and water fountains... In a bowling alley? It looks more like a cross between a bad Asian restaurant and a wannabe Vegas Casino.
The bowling lanes are nice and have table service which is cool... But way too expensive... Don't bring your family here unless you want to spend a small fortune.
The arcade is ginormous with a crazy selection of zany, foreign machines and rides... I loved it until I realized most didn't work... (Good luck finding anyone to give you a refund for lost quarters and with most games being 50 cents and up, this gets annoying really quick!)
The crowd that hangs here seems a bit unsavory and to be perfectly honest, after seeing some of the patrons on the local news for kidnapping... Trevi scares me! : ( -

My wife, my two sisters, and I had a great time bowling here last Sunday. The price was very reasonable. I have a price sheet saved from two years ago and the prices have actually gone down. $4 for adults, $2.50 for kids 16 and under, $3 shoes. The bowling itself was very good. No problem with the ball return, resetting machine, or scoring. We didn't have any food but they have a snack bar.
What I did not like about the place was the arcade. Every game I tried was broken to some extent. I love pinball and they have three, but they are in terrible condition. My wife and I tried a shooting game and both guns were not working properly. My sister and I tried a great game called Panic Park, a hard to find but really fun game, but the controls didn't work at all. Almost everything there is a bunch of used imported crap. Many of the games still have Japanese roms installed so you can barely understand what you're supposed to do. It looks like the owner tried to save money by importing a couple shipping containers of used Japanese machines but ended up with a big mess. What's really bad is that all of these broken games are obviously broken yet still turned on. They obviously do not employ anyone who knows how to fix this crap.
Bottom line; I recommend the bowling but avoid the arcade! -

I've been here a few times and am not too happy with this place. My boyfriend is a fairly good bowler and enjoys bowling when he can. I suck at bowling but enjoy to at least try. It's something fun for us to do together for a fairly inexpensive price.
We have been going to this place simply because it is close by home and we don't enjoy traveling 35-45 minutes just to get out and do something. Every time we have been here it has been one thing or another that makes us rethink coming in.
This summer it has been very warm inside the establishment and is very uncomfortable to bowl during the afternoon when the alley isn't as crowded. During the evenings the alley is crowded and the staff is unorganized. Most recently the computer systems were down for just about an hour before we could resume bowling. Ordering food or drinks is always a hassle and we always have to remind the staff we paid for something and are still waiting.
This establishment is more than just bowling. There is an arcade and food and a bar. In order to get drinks you have to leave the bowling alley to get them. They do offer some food in the alley but it takes a while for them to serve it to your lane. The arcade is usually busy and the machines are usually out of tickets. The arcade shop to turn in your tickets is not open for very long and is sporadic. I've seen it open maybe twice since I've been going to this place. There is a restaurant but we have never been.
I would not recommend this place for bowling or family fun unless you do not mind putting up with the issues that do occur. -

Chuck E. Cheese has nothing on this place! This place is HUGE! You can bowl, play arcade, have dinner and drinks, and even shake that a$$ on the dance floor at the club.
The first time I came here it was for a bday party, and not a kiddie one either. This place is great, you can rent a private room for bowling that has 4 lanes, it's own juke box, and your own attendants. You can bowl as many games as you can, depending how long you rent the room.
We ordered a few pizzas, and appetizer platters. They serve your usual bowling alley grub, chicken wings, mozzarella sticks, onion rings, nachos. They also have an italian and mexican restaurant, but I haven't eaten at either one.
This place is great for an adult outing, or even for a kids bday party. -

I was psyched when I found out an entertainment place was going to open in a place like Elsinore, but now...not so much.
I have been to this twice and both time I did not stay more than 30 minutes, once to check out the bowling alley and the other was to play arcades. When I went in the first time to check out the bowling alley, I thought it was pretty cool until I got the price sheet. I can't believe how much they charge for bowling. That night when I went, they tried to charge $50 person because of Disco night (or something to that nature). It was ridiculous so we left. The 2nd time I went there was to play with the arcades. There wasn't much there so we didn't stay long.
I gave it a one star because it is a pretty pricey place for being in Elsinore and also because of the lack of crowd control. -

Ok so you know the part in Pinocchio where all the little kids get carted off to Pleasure Island and then turn into donkeys? And you know that part in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas where Raoul Duke and Dr. Gonzo take ether and wander into Circus Circus? Yeah, that's pretty much Trevi Lanes. It's richly bizarre and wonderfully trashy. Really just something you have to experience. I'm leaving it at that.

this place is a scam, i checked out there web site pictures and pricing info, i also called to confirm pricing, when i arrived the place is not like the pictures anymore, its overcrowded with mismatched decor and video games packed everywhere, most not working, they have a salad bar set in the middle of the walk way and the food was not being kep't at proper tempeture. when i went to order beverages the pricing was a third higher then what i was quoted on the phone a few minutes earlier, when we aked to speak to a manager, he was rude and loud, needless to say im filing complaints and will never return to this establishment.
