I was there for our bowling league end of season party. The food was very good and I left with a full, happy tummy.

Dinner for 4 on a Friday night, so perfect. We had a corner round table, which I really love and such delicious food. Started with a mango salad with goat cheese, and a mozzarella tomato and red pepper app. The service was friendly and professional. Many nice dinner specials were offered. Our dinners were great and a plentiful amount for the price. Dessert was also so nice, and many to choose from. This was one of our go-to places for years, and we are back! We were all very happy with our food, the last table out, and we didn't feel rushed. Thank you!

We love Triestina Ristorante. We come for birthdays, New Year’s, catered events, and, well, when we crave a fantastic meal. This local favorite uses the freshest of ingredients from spices to produce. Our favorites from start to finish are the beet salad, Cesar salad, capellini sinatra, scampi, toasted almond cake, tiramisu, limoncello cake, ricotta cake (when available), and pistachio cake (when available). Servers are extremely attentive and want customers to have a terrific experience from start to finish. Thanks Triestina for another wonderful birthday!

Another neighbor gem serving fine Italian food with upscale service and ambiance. We visited for an early Valentines Day celebration and love Triestina. This BYOB restaurant is a white linen tablecloth place that for us is in between a special occasion Italian restaurant like Il Cappriccio and an every day great neighborhood Italian place like Buona Pizza in Westfield. At Triestina, we ate our way through the menu from appetizer to desert and everything was very good. We wolfed down the calamari before we thought to share a photo. It was a massive serving, large enough for the table and superb. For mains we had lamb shank with homemade papardell and parmesan crusted chicken breast. We shared a Creme Brule . A nice finish to a wonderful evening. Even the coffee was great.
