A large group of us came to Tre Vele for a friend's birthday dinner. I had heard good things about this place, so I was excited to try. We made a reservation ahead of time, since there was about 10 of us. We came during the week, on a Tuesday specifically.
Our table shared some of the charcuterie plate (Tre Vele Piatto) to begin with. It was pretty good. Nothing too special though. Just your average charcuterie board. A few other people shared some of the bruschetta. I took a bite and it was actually pretty flavorful.
Moving on to the main course. So on Tuesdays, Tre Vele does a live cheese wheel pasta. So a lot of the people in our group got that and shared it. My fiancé got the cheese wheel pasta as well. It's basically a Cacio e Pepe dish served from the cheese wheel, and it's flamed and all melts perfectly. It was actually quite good, but definitely on the pricier side, I believe it was like $35? I got the rigatoni with pomodoro sauce and added chicken. It was not good at all. This is actually the only reason why I am giving Tre Vele 4 stars instead of 5. It tasted very "frozen meal." The pasta tasted like something I would've made when I was like 13 years old. I know that's mean, but it's the truth. It was lacking everything that a pasta dish should have. The chicken was very dry too and off-putting honestly. I ended up only eating a little of it, and then taking the rest home. I don't recommend getting this AT ALL. Me and my fiance also shared a side of the broccolini, which was pretty good, nothing special though. Someone else got the sweet potato gnocchi as well, which I had a bite of. It was good, but I am not a fan of sweet potato. The cheese wheel pasta was definitely the star of the show though. It was creamy, flavorful, and EVERYTHING a pasta dish should be. Highly recommend!
Overall, Tre Vele is a great place to go to for a nice Italian dinner. The service was great and the food is pretty good! There's a huge parking lot right across the entrance, so you'll find parking and don't need to worry about that. They have a full drink menu as well, so you're bound to find something you enjoy drinking. I'll definitely be back in the future.
