| - Tried Treno for the first time last night and was very impressed. Went in for just drinks and ended up having some food as well.
Drinks: friend and I got the martinis- they were very well made, the glassware is quality, the bartender was exceptionally nice. They are a tad smaller than a Bricco martini, but the price is about the same give or take a buck. Definitely worth it for a good martini. I was a little disappointed they didn't have an espresso martini on the menu, but did make that suggestion. An Italian espresso martini would be a great addition.
Bread- their fresh bread was outstanding! Crisp outside, soft inside, perfect amount of seasoning, and the olive oil/balsamic mix was perfect!
Apps- tried the stuffed peppers and was not disappointed! A little bit of spice, but not overbearing, perfectly cooked, and good sauce. You could just tell that things aren't just frozen and reheated. Would definitely get them again.
Dessert- I don't know about the rest of you, but I judge an Italian place based on their cannoli... and Treno gets an A! You get two cannolis served on a plate of what I believe was crumbled pistachios. Bottom half of the shell is dipped in chocolate. They make the filling in house and it's outstanding! Sweet, but not too sweet. Most importantly, the shell was crisp all the way through and not soggy at all. I very much enjoyed them.
Overall- atmosphere and decor are elegant and classy. Service was great, food and drinks were great. Price was on the high end but served a purpose as it allows them to purchase high quality ingredients and also maintains a higher level clientele, and keeps the trashy away.
I would absolutely recommend Treno.
