Today’s side of ranch is on…

Trento is on 110 in Farmingdale and I am sure many of you have driven past it as have I. Until I decided to try it for one of my best friend’s birthday. We pulled into the parking lot in my friends 2014 Toyota Corolla and were laughing with each other as all we saw in the lot were Mercedes Benz, BMW’s and Audi’s. But we were prepared to have a good birthday meal.

Food quality:
I had the French Cut Pork Chop. What caught my eye about this on the menu was that it was paired with grilled peach and fresh figs. I was intrigued as to see what this would taste like. Once I finished eating it I felt as if the three were meant to be together. I no longer want to eat an ordinary pork chop after that. My friends are very basic and mostly ordered pasta dishes so they claimed their food was simply “good”.

Ambiance: Trento is an Italian American Retro restaurant that as the experience begins even before you walk through the door. The outside is elegantly decorated with lights, and gives a nice aesthetic with the neutral colors. Walking inside the staff was very pleasant and were seated right away as we had a reservation. The inside was dim and created an adequate feel for a nice dinner with friends or family.

Cleanliness: From what we saw the restaurant was sparkling clean, even though it was a Saturday night and it was pretty dark in there, our silver was cleared always and crumbs were always being cleaned and our silverware was literally shining, which shows the cleanliness of a restaurant always and makes me a happy gal.

Value:My Pork Chop was priced at $38 dollars, which is actually a reasonable price for a fine dining restaurant on 110, but you definitely get what you pay for, The portion was huge, and I did not mind as we constantly had bread and drink refills which made us girls all very happy.

Overall Experience: My overall experience at Trento was memorable. Our server Miguel was very personable with us, always came around with a gleaming smile, he offered to take a picture of my friends and I as he saw we were struggling to get a selfie with all of us in it. He was very enjoyable which always make the experience that much better.
