I had an amazing dining experience at Trattoria Trullo Cucina Italiana! The food was absolutely delicious — authentic flavors, beautifully presented, and full of that true Italian warmth. But the highlight of the evening was our wonderful waitress, Aurora. She was attentive, friendly, and made us feel completely at home. Her kindness and professionalism turned a great meal into a perfect one. Highly recommend this place — and if you’re lucky, ask for Aurora! 🍝🍷🇮🇹

Trullo has become such a special place for our family! Date nights, birthdays, friends in town - Trullo is easily our first thought. The focaccia bread is the reason, it’s SO GOOD!! Well the service is probably the actual reason because the staff is so attentive and friendly. The service keeps us well taken care of each visit. But the food…no better Italian food ANYWHERE. It’s most likely the food!!! God we love this restaurant!!! Can’t stay away for long that’s the truth. Pro tip: Make a reservation.

This local gem has become one of our favorites. From the house made focaccia to their fresh pastas you can’t go wrong with any item of your choosing. Their service also goes hand in hand. Can’t go without shouting out our favorite server Emily Haley. All around trullo is the real deal. True authentic Apulian cuisine.

The food overall was excellent and the service was great but I one thing left me feeling like I would never recommend this place to anyone. We ordered the mushroom risotto prepared in the cheese wheel, and while the presentation was impressive, the value simply wasn’t there. At $80, I was stunned by how little food was actually served, especially with no meat or seafood included. I even asked the server if it was one portion or two because of the price point and such a small amount. The risotto was tasty, but there’s no way the cost can be justified, it felt almost offensive for what you actually get. Even if the dish had been a larger portion, the cost of this was still exorbitant. Whoever set this price point needs to reconsider, because although the overall dining experience was great, this particular dish left me feeling taken advantage of. I would never order this again and you shouldn’t even consider it. Order 2 other entrees, trust me on this one.

ETA: even if the mushrooms were imported, and the rice was imported along with the cheese, the value of this dish is not there. They do not add enough Parmesan cheese, which is the main reason why the dish is expensive to make it worth the money they are charging end of story. Whether it’s for two people or eight, the portion size is small for what you pay for. To give you an idea there were 7 of us and we all got one big spoon full…. So $13.42 for a spoon full of risotto including tip. Exorbitant is an understatement

The Cappuccino and food were delicious. I cannot wait to visit again. I missed Zucchini blossoms and these satiated the craving! The salad was fresh and light and the pasta was rich. Perfectly balanced.

Great hospitality from the team, from the hostess, to our lovely Server Angie! Amazing, Delicious food, wine! Angie was very pleasant and gave great recommendations. Deff coming back!

The Manager was very attentive and was concerned about allergies. ( I'm horrible with names)

My only con - which does not really matter to me I would seat outside next time. My whole party and myself were very HOT. Not sure if the AC was off. Not a biggie. Everything else made up for it.

Everything was outstanding. It may be hard to do Italian badly but not often that you get really excellent Italian food. Get the Focaccia! Salad was great. Nona's polpette - the way meatballs are supposed to be. Staff here are obviously experienced and really friendly.

I followed the Google recommendation and got the handkerchief pasta and it was awesome. A glass of wine. I was dining alone and was lucky to get a table because usually they take reservations. My waiter, Alessandro, was very attentive. I enjoyed the outdoor seating.

I came here for a first date and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, the food was absolutely phenomenal (every bite felt like a little trip to Italy), and our server, Aurora, was such a gem—attentive, kind, and made us feel so welcome. Highly recommend this spot for a special night out or simply if you want authentic Italian done right. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Food was amazing. Delicious House made pastas and unique authentic recipes. Unfortunately the service was lacking for our group. The server appeared very inexperienced. I'm not sure if he was new, but it's still the responsibility of the restaurant's management staff to give better direction and support.

We ordered the back to school lasagna. Always appreciate things like this to make parenting easier with the busy back to school season. Bread and salad were delicious. The lasagna was good but could have used a bit more sauce and the sauce was a bit sweet for our taste. Would order again anyway as its a great affordable option for a family. Looking forward to dining in sometime.
