Trenta Pizza & Cucina

Cool spot. Love the outdoor atmosphere. Our favorite dish was the pistachio pasta. Super good. Love how the owner was constantly going around and checking in on everyone so often. Our waiter was great as well. Host was not the best. But not enough to taint the review.

My mother and I had dinner at Trenta Pizza & Cucina yesterday evening. The restaurant has a cozy, welcoming vibe, though the small chairs and tightly packed tables made the space feel a bit cramped especially during the dinner rush. I later found out from a friend that they offer hooks for handbags, which would have been helpful to know when our server saw us struggling with where to put ours. The food was okay… classic Italian fare with a straightforward, no-frills menu. The pizza was well-cooked and the pasta was satisfying, but nothing really stood out. It’s a decent option for a casual neighborhood meal, though I wouldn’t go out of my way to dine here again based on the food alone. What did impress us, however, were the drinks. The cocktails were well-crafted, and the wine selection had some pleasant surprises. If I return, it’ll likely be for a drink and a light bite rather than a full meal.

There are many places to begin with this review but I must start with the first steps coming to this beautiful ristorante. When we first came we were seated and Marco greeted us. He spoke of the opening of the restaurant and welcome us like Italy has done for us in our travels. First we start with the antipasto calamari! Fried to perfection and well seasoned breading that is thin and crispy as it should be. The spicy garlic aioli was a perfect match! In addition my wife had the limoncello spritz that was well balanced with the prosecco and very refreshing on this warm sunny day. Next was the main course! My wife had the linguini alle vongole. The pasta was perfectly aldente and with the cherry tomatoes was balanced perfectly! Finally, we come to pizza. I was convinced by the pizza oven in the picture that this was the place to have lunch. The Firenze pizza was so simple but the care and the ingredients made this pizza the BEST I have had in the US and number 3 in the world for me. I've traveled to many areas of Italy and Europe from major cities to small towns of the Italian alps. The smoked mozzarella with the truffle was a perfect paring and the porcini mushrooms! It's difficult to find porcini mushrooms at any grocery store and I have tried! The dough had the perfect chew and crisp and best of all held its form through the whole meal. No floppy sloppy pizza here, perfect char! We will definitely be back to try more delicious true Italian cuisine.

The waitstaff was extremely attentive, refilling our water at every interaction and even making sure our table wasn't wobbly. The food was amazing as well! So was the atmosphere! Definitely recommend!

Probably the best italian food we have tried ever in the area. Authentic sicilian food. And we are Sicilian, and we are super picky. This is the first time we have tried meatballs that tasted anything like our Noni from Italys. In this area, it's hard to eat Italian and feel good. After after we ate here, I had more energy than I had before I got there. Nice clean food

It's hard to find a legit Italian restaurant with good food and this one was very good. It's incredibly popular and busy. There is minimal indoor seating and a lot of outdoor seating in makeshift sort of outdoor area, but the ambiance is great outside. We enjoyed everything we ordered.

Starting today's pizza crawl at Trenta Pizza & Cucina. Our server, Will, was quite delightful and very very helpful. We ordered the 30" Trio. The pizzas we chose were the Amalfi, Firenze, and Torino. They were all really amazing and the crust was thin and perfect. Amalfi, Mozzarella / Nduja / Salsiccia / Prosciutto Cotto / Shaved Parmigiano / Rosemary. The rosemary is very gentle and not overpowering, and the meat balance was very nice. The Torino has Mozzarella / Gorgonzola / Apple / Candied Walnuts / Shallots / Honey. This combination is really one of my faves with the apples and gorgonzola. The honey and nuts really round it out. I'm a big fan! The third, Firenze, has Smoked Mozzarella / Porcini Mushrooms / Truffle Oil. I don't do mushrooms, so I didn't taste this but it smelled amazing and Leah and Jacqui really enjoyed the entire trio of flavors!

The food, service, and vibe are all five stars. This is a local hot spot where you are guaranteed to have a great time. It's good for a date or bringing the whole family. We had the pistachio pesto pizza with sausage and a goat cheese blueberry walnut mustard vinaigrette salad, which was magnificent!

Jack C. Is the best! Great recommendations, Lorenzo was fantastic too. Also, food is incredible hats off to the chef

Food is amazing and so are the servers ! Need comfy chairs lol but worth it the experience!

This place is great. They graciously took us in on Sunday close to last call, doing it with a smile. Service was good. The pizza is high quality. The dough has a slight chew, and delicately thin. Sauce was bright and fresh, cheese and other ingredients are high quality and fresh. The vibes are very cute, garden style with a vintage kind of feel. We ordered Napoli, Firenze, and Sicilia. Napoli had fresh mozzarella and basil, traditional and very delicious. Firenze had mushrooms and truffle oil, and the Sicilia had anchovies and olives - very interesting! It's ever so convenient that our hand car wash place is a few doors down - it's a good place excuse to coe here !

The atmosphere and vibe are the real highlight here--absolutely beautiful and better than anywhere else I've been. Unfortunately, the food doesn't match the setting. Nothing was a "wow" moment, just very average. Pizza was forgettable Bari ( I've had better elsewhere), overall food 4/10, tiramisu 4/10. Host service was poor--we waited 30 minutes even with a reservation (3/10). The only real bright spot was our server, who was friendly and attentive (7/10). Go there for the vibe and drink not the food and desert.

I've been a loyal customer at Trenta Pizza for a long time--over 20 visits and never had an issue bringing my dogs while dining outdoors. Suddenly, without warning, I was told I could no longer eat there with them. No signs, no prior notice, just an abrupt change in attitude. If this was always the policy, why was it never enforced before? And if it's a new rule, a little courtesy and consistency would go a long way. I support businesses that are dog-friendly and value regular customers. Sadly, Trenta no longer seems to care about either. Disappointed and won't be returning.

A beautiful Italian restaurant atmosphere! Wonderful pizzas, so many different ones to choose from. Beautifully crafted drinks. The staff was very kind and professional. Went out for my friends birthday, they offered a birthday dessert which was greatly appreciated! We got the trio where you can choose any 3 of their pizzas and it's $75, a wonderful way to try a variety of the pizzas they offer! The Hugo spritz drink is refreshing to sip on with its minty flavor. The purple Vespa drink is also quite tasty, more citrusy, a good choice! Valet parking is $8

This is such a cute spot for a celebratory casual dinner! Tip: they only offer valet parking here for $8, however you could also find street parking in the surrounding neighborhoods. My friends and I came here on a weekend to celebrate a birthday, and we loved the staff and the food! Our friends were running behind, so some of us who arrived early were able to sit at the bar and grab some drinks. Our server, Ethan, was phenomenal, and very attentive with our table! My friend had a drink she didn't like, and he was able to replace it for her. Our party of 6 split the trenta trio pizza, which came with a total of 18 rectangular slices of 3 different style pizzas, all put into one. I have no idea what we got, but they were also super good, and two had mushrooms on it which I love anything with mushrooms! I also had the purple vespa and blackberry mojito, both of which were delicious drinks.

Returned because I remember it was so good 4 years ago! It still is!! Great outdoor ambience with the twinkle lights, beautiful tables, and thank goodness for propane heaters! They have nice, pretty ones that add to the ambience. Service was good. Our server was charming and chatted us up. Everyone always had a smile for us. The food was still as fabulous as ever. This time we ordered: Trenta Salad - I enjoyed this salad. I loved the balance of the apples, goat cheese, and all the ingredients. Mixed Fried Plate - My hubby was craving fish and chips. This appetizer hit the spot for him. Lots of delicious goodness in this serving. Calamari Fritti - Perfecto!! I loved the aioli and how they prepared their calamari. It's crispy and not overly battered. Delish! I like to pair this with a side of spaghetti with olive oil and garlic. Mwah! Napoli Pizza - Talk about how food can transport you to a memory! One bite and I was back in Italy! Damn! Paccheri Al Pistacchio - I have never seen such fat rigatoni shaped pasta. Omgoodness! Not only was the noodle perfectly cooked, but this sauce is fantastic! Great dish! For dessert we ordered: Chocolate Temptation Pistachio Truffle Both are decadent and delightful. I was a little sad that they aren't housemade. It's okay though. They were still very good desserts. And you come to Trenta for the pizza, pasta, and the calamari!

Wow this is such an amazing spot! On a Saturday night, the parking was small and only by valet. We are outside which was decorated great, indoors looked cute too. There was even a DJ outside. Service was fast & friendly. I got the Pinot noir which was tasty. For dinner, we got the pistachio pasta and the Sicilian pizza to share. Both were so flavorful. Definitely one of the best Italian spots in Orange County. Will be back!

The food - delicious, authentic. My husband LOVES genuine carbonara -- no cream, just egg yolk on the perfectly cooked pasta with pancetta, pepper and a bit of cheese. My bolognese was perfect -- and the pistachio semifreddo -- to die for. The service was perfect, the staff very friendly and attentive. This restaurant is the real deal ... we sat in the new bar area and Grant treated us very, very well --

This was the best Italian food that I have had outside of Italy. We got the calamari, two pasta dishes, and a pizza they were all to die for. Our server was a wealth of knowledge and friendly and helped recommend some dishes to us. The food also came out surprisingly quick for how busy they were on a Friday night. I've seen other reviews where they were disappointed in the ambience because you're basically eating in a parking lot. While that may technically be true. They did an amazing job decorating it and making the space feel great both outside and inside. They exceeded my expectations and I don't think I'll be able to get pasta anywhere else.

I've been to Trenta two times over the last three days. The new Trenta Lounge and bar area is such a great addition! Shoutout to Jack x2 and Grant for the best cocktails and bar service. If I could recommend you order the whole menu, I would... because Trenta is THAT good! Can't wait to come back and enjoy the live music on the weekends!

This place is soo good ! Sister date and she chose this place everything we ordered was delicious ! Pictures say it all ! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming the food delicious abs the service was awesome! We had the sweetest older gentleman take care of us ! And he had the best reccomendations no favorites here I loved everything !!

I've driven by this place countless times and finally decided to give it a try. I went for the first time last Friday and had the pleasure of meeting Marco, one of the owners, in the lounge which had just opened that day. The ambiance was great, the service was spot on, and the food was absolutely delicious. We tried the calamari, the Amalfi Pizza, and the Paccheri Pistacchio everything was outstanding.

Great experience and truly excellent food. Took a little bit for someone to help us get seated but once seated, service was great. The pistachio on the pizza with chili oil was a game changer. Very good and perfect kick to it. The pasta is highly recommended as well. The open kitchen concept was fun and I would come back here. The only con is that it seems like valet is mandatory as there are no other places to park in the area.

First Lunch Visit To Trenta Pizza & Cucina In Costa Mesa!! Nice Ambiance!! Great Menu, Offers Salads, Italian Bites, Pizzas & Pastas!! Shared The Meatball Sandwich & Linguine With Clams!! Good Delicious Lunch!! Nice Cocktails Choices, Wine & Beer List!! Great Service!! Waiter Was Kind, Helpful & Courteous!! Next Time, I Will Try The Pizzas & The Dessert Menu Too!! The Tartufo Al Pistachio & Tiramisu Are On My List!! ThankU

Celebrated with the family and a dear friend in mid-Summer and my hubby and I enjoyed our experience at Trenta again last night. Food was delicious. Meatballs were tender, Trenta salad was fresh and flavorful, and hubby's Reggio Calabria pizza was tasty. I do want to mention the food from the last time we ate at Trenta. The Paccheri Pistacchio and Ravioli al Funghi were both amazing. Equally as impressive was the service. Our server, Tori, was friendly and attentive without rushing us or being intrusive. Someone at a table near us spilled and broke glass and Tori jumped right in to help rather than waiting for someone else to take care of it. I forgot to get the name of the server assistant, but he was also great. He was quick to fill water, clear the table, and keep the area clean. We will definitely return.

Delicious & authentic Italian spot, food & service were great, lovely outdoor area. Pasta & pizza were all very yummy- el dente & fresh. Can't wait to be back!

i came here with my sister over a month ago and we cannot stop talking about it!! amazing fresh and high quality ingredients + unique and flavorful combinations make this spot a must-try. the ambiance was also rlly nice; they have plenty of outdoor seating + our service was awesome. everything we got was amazing so i doubt you can go wrong with anything on this menu, altho i will say im definitely coming back for the pistachio pesto on the catania pizza!!

Wow. The only thing not to love about this place is the outdoor dining when it's raining. The food however distracted me from the misty air and it felt like a wonderful trip to Italy without leaving the confines of Orange County. Meatball appetizer - holy cow these are amazing. I judge an Italian restaurant by the meatballs. These were absolutely incredible. 3 per order but was enough for a table of 4 to share. Arancini - melt in your mouth goodness. These exceeded my expectation and were soft creamy and served at the perfect temp. Bolognese - absolutely fantastic from the fresh pasta to the portion size, sauce to noodle ratio etc. chefs kiss! Mushroom ravioli - about 6 or so per serving, again, enough to share when doing family style with a large table. Sauce was creamy and delicious, nicely balanced out the meatiness of the mushrooms. Trenta pizza - we went spicy and sweet - all three flavors were incredible. A bit pricey at $75 for such a thin crust pizza and our party of 4 easily crushed this. We left a few pieces to take home for a guest who couldn't join us. I think next time I'd do individual pizzas and share that way, and it would end up being a bit more food to pass around. The wine was incredible - had a nice Pinot noir which was my second choice, as the first wine tasted off. I sent it back and there was no issue with that at all. Had two salads and both were delicious and plenty to share. I think next time I'd skip this and get more meatballs :) Family owned and you can tell they care and take pride and grace when attending to their guests. I wish there was indoor seating, as it was cold and rainy. Parking is valet only ($8) and I didn't see any street options available. Lot can fit maybe 6 cars. Food tasted authentic, was high quality and portion sizes reasonable for the price charged. Definitely adding this new find to my OC rotation!

Trenta is one of Newport Beach's most authentic Italian restaurants! Trenta's seating was mainly outdoors, and it was a cozy atmosphere with subtle lighting and beautiful minimalistic decor. Our party ordered the popular favorites like the calamari, torino pizza, and orecchiette alle cime di rapa pasta. The pizza was a highlight as the sweetness of the apple and candied walnuts balanced well with the more savory parts of the pizza. I enjoyed how thin the dough was, and it was the perfect blend between texture and flavor. The outdoor scene is perfect for a special occasion or casual dine in.

Absolutely incredible experience. Their Chardonnay from Umbria was so smooth. Their arancini's had so much flavor and the pizza was incredible. To top it off the ambiance was beautiful. The only thing I'd pass on are the pappardelle, it's with a sweet sauce rather than ragu, but the pasta itself was delicious and you can tell was homemade. Will definitely be coming back! Excellent service as well. OH and DO NOT sleep on the Nutella dessert! It brought me to life!!! The best thing I've ever had. I told my man if I'm ever mad at him to just buy me those and we are settled.

No floppy sloppy pizza here, perfect char! We will definitely be back to try more delicious true Italian cuisine.

Really enjoyed my experience at Trenta Pizza! Here's a breakdown of the order: Caesar Salad- a solid Caesar salad but nothing special. Meatballs- the meatballs were also good, I enjoyed the sauce but the meatballs themselves were a touch bland. Margherita Pizza- loved the crust on the pizza, crisp with a nice bite. The sauce on the pizza was a bit bland but had a strong garlic flavor come through. Amafli pizza- this was the highlight of the dinner. The meat on the pizza was so delicious and just a touch spicy. I recommend this pie! Carbonara Pasta- a very delicious pasta. The pancetta in the dish was so tasty. A good pasta dish if you are going that route! Drinks- we all got cocktails and enjoyed them quite a bit. My brother and I both got a Negroni style drink and both felt that there wasn't much drink in there. It felt like maybe an ounce of drink, but the drink itself was very tasty. Service- the servers were kind, but weren't very prompt in attending to our table. For example we ordered some wine, and it took 15-20 min for it to arrive. Ambiance- the ambiance was great, really cute patio with fire going. Wonderful place to hang out!

One of the best Italian restaurants I've had in California. Everything was delicious, from the meatball appetizer to the rustic bread with the tangy yet buttery spread that came with it. What stood out was the pizza. It was the best Neapolitan-style pizza I've ever had. The prosciutto was unlike any I had; it melted in the mouth, and the burrata was truly creamy and silky. Also, the desserts were great, the Zepolle, plus the pistachio ice cream, paired well.

From the valet service to receiving the check, everything was perfect. This is our first time coming here. The hostess was amazing. Very sweet sad immediately even though we didn't have a reservation our server, Giorgio, was a fantastic! Knew exactly what to recommend on the menu. He extremely prompt, courteous, and always available. His assistant servers made sure we always had a bottle of water full at our table always asking if there's anything else we need and answered any additional questions we had at the spur of the moment. The food is amazing. Had the Cantina pizza, the black tie, pasta, and the tiramisu, even the blueberry salad was on point. We will definitely be coming back.

Found this place on Yelp and IG and decided to order take out. The pizza was waaaaaaaay bigger than we thought and was very tasty! The ONLY very annoying things was that they charged us 20% for service when it was take out which is just ridiculous. Beware of surcharges before checking out. Restaurants should not be doing this without customers' knowledge. This couldve been a 5 star review but all our group thought they're taking advantage of customers trust. As mentioned we ordered take out but the place looked very cute and the patio looked nice for a wine and pizza night out!

Valet only for $8... it's the only other restaurant in that plaza so unless you want to walk, that's the only choice. The outdoor seating is very nice and there was a small amount of tables inside but not sure how many. The service was good and the food came out within a good amount of time. I ordered the carbonara and I think it was made wrong. Looking back at pictures and in previous experience, it wasn't cheesy/creamy at all. The egg yolks were not incorporated well into the sauce and it basically tasted like there was scrambled eggs mixed with pasta noodles. It still tasted ok and I'm still willing to come back to try their pizza though. I didn't order any cocktails but my friends did and they were all good.

We chose Trenta for a Date Night spot after reading positive reviews on Yelp. Parking: $8 Valet Only - this was frustrating as I had an early dining reservation and arrived around 5:15pm on a Friday, their lot is extremely small but there were two open spaces, yet I still had to valet the car. As a business, I would think to offer free valet due to a small lot or allow parking in the available spaces on a first come first serve basis, then utilize the valet service. Ambiance: We were seated outside next to the busser station where throughout our meal young waiters and bussers congregated and chatted amongst themselves just feet from our table, we were so close to this station and to 4-5 of them talking at a time that I found it hard to have my own conversation at my table. Mistakes happen, but there was a point where glass fell and shattered all over the station (twice), glass even flew under our table. They quickly cleaned this up, but no one came by to check on our table, apologize for the disturbance, etc. Food Quality: We tried two pizzas - the Reggio Calabria and the Napoli. The Reggio was delicious, the sauce to topping ratio was perfect. The Napoli was thinner than paper (and I like thin pizza) the sauce, cheese, and basil were scarce. Overall: The food was good, but the other factors really hindered the enjoyment of the evening.

GREAT pizzas! This place was really cute and I love how this place was set up. We happened to come here on a rainy Saturday. However, there was enough coverage on the patio to block it out. It looks like it's only outdoor seating, but we did see some sort of a bar vibe indoors. We ordered the calamari fritti, which were good... but nothing that special. Also, the arancini verdi, which was very simple and perfectly fried, but very plain. For the pizza, we ordered the Bari and this was just fantastic. This is probably the best pizza around. The pizza was piled with toppings and on top of it, a generous portion of burrata on top. It was so delicious and everything worked well together with the arugula! We ended the night with some cannolis. Overall, a great spot for pizza! The service was standard. We did have a wobbly table, but we appreciated them for stabilizing it. We were also checked on a few times. Tip: for parking... I don't think anyone should be doing valet. The parking lot is super tiny and yall should save some money. Park on Pomona Ave. There was plenty of street parking there and walk through Malibu Pvt road (the new townhouse community) to get to the restaurant. It's less than a 5 min walk. Honestly, with how fat we are, it doesn't hurt to walk lol

Good food and decent location in the Costa Mesa-Newport area. The food and service are good along with the ambiance. We look forward to dining there again.

We absolutely love this place. The food is always hot fresh and delicious. So embarrassing I forgot to take a picture of my cioppino. It was absolutely amazing and so full of seafood and fish. I recommend spending the four dollars extra for linguine. Only picture I could take was of my empty plate! We sat outside on the patio and had a heater next to us. It ran out of gas and they were very quick to replace and get the heater working again. Much appreciated!!

Warning: this restaurant is not dog-friendly. I made a reservation for two with a note asking if it would be possible to snag a patio table so our dog could sit with us. When we arrived, a male manager near the front desk scowled at us and--without asking first if we had a reservation--asked, "Is that a service dog?" demeaningly. I replied, "Oh, no it isn't," and he turned to the hostess next to him and signaled her to give us the spiel. Without asking if we had a reservation, she explained--more kindly--that they have a new policy that changed their formerly dog-friendly patio seating into a non-pet-friendly area. She then asked if we'd like to order to-go instead. We declined and left simply because it seems their policy is to be non-friendly to pet owners too, who might've just walked up as we did not knowing the policy had changed. We would've considered dining here after putting our dog in the car or simply doing takeout, but the man's attitude toward us and the hosts' ignorance of our reservation were too big of a turnoff for us to give them our business.

Trenta Pizza & Cucina offers a charming dining experience with excellent service, especially from Carly, who was fantastic. The outdoor seating is beautiful and intimate, perfect for al fresco dining. We had a 7PM reservation on a Tuesday night, which might not have been necessary but it was quite busy. The cocktails (we opted for the espresso martini and summer margarita) were decent but on the smaller side and not very strong. We also decided to order red wine, which turned out to be the better choice. Carly was great and let us sample a pinot, nebbiolo, and nero before we made our decision. We started with the Arancini Verdi, which comes with three. These were pretty good and different in that there were spinach risotto balls, served in pesto. We also ordered the Burrata, which comes in a large portion with bread, arugula, cherry tomatoes, and prosciutto, though the burrata itself is a bit small. Bread was amazing, crisp and flavorful, and paired well with the balsamic. We shared the Amalfi pizza, which had a great crust, but wasn't spicy as advertised. As for dessert, it was alright. We had chocolate soufflé and the panna cotta. Both lacked the richness and decadence I was hoping for. Parking is limited, but valet parking is available for $8. Overall, service and ambiance were great, 5 STARS. Food was decent, but not something I thought about much after the meal ended. Excellent artisanal breads though.

I love that they offer a Trenta pizza because theres so many specialty pizza options its hard to pick just one! We got a spicy pepperoni, the apple one, and another with prosciutto (sorry i dont remember the names) but it was so good! The calamari was also delicious and so crispy! Our waitress was so nice and was also our bartender, she made our drinks perfectly and kept them coming! Love this place, they have a great outdoor patio and would come back here for lunch again! Great vibe :)

The vibes are amazing here, sitting out in the patio is really nice. Parking is a pain with valet or having to park far if you are lucky. They actually have a great vegan option with the pizza and then ask for the balsamic vinegar so delicious!! Focaccia is decent too and delicious with the hummus spread they have. Drinks are delicious here as well great date night, double date or dinner with a friend!

Had a great dinner at Trenta Pizza and Cucina! We started with the rustic bread and bruschetta -- the ricotta they used was so creamy and flavorful, it really elevated the dish. For mains, we had the Sicilia pizza (without anchovies) and the Ravioli al Funghi. The pizza was excellent -- great crust, fresh ingredients, and just the right amount of richness. The ravioli had a strong mushroom flavor, which was a bit overbearing for my taste, but mushroom lovers would probably enjoy it. The ambiance was beautiful and cozy, and even though the place was busy, we were seated within 15 minutes. The staff was kind and attentive, and the chef even came out to speak with us directly since we're strict vegetarians and had questions about the menu -- that personal touch meant a lot. Definitely a vegetarian-friendly spot, but make sure to double check ingredients like anchovies or seafood if you don't eat them, as some items include them by default. Would absolutely come back to try more dishes!

One of my favorite Italian places in Orange County and maybe even in general. The pizzas are my fav and the pasta is so fresh. The vibe makes you feel like you are in Italy but I highly suggest to make a reservation no matter what night. Can get busy

Met our friends at this cute little Italian place. We sat outside, which was nice. The service was great! My salad was delicious and the salmon was literally cooked to perfection! My husband had a bite or two and he said it might've been the best salmon he ever had. He ordered the gluten-free pizza so that I could give it a try. He is not gluten-free. Wow! The gluten-free crust was so good. my husband, and I agreed that you would never know the difference compared to a regular pizza crust. Loved the sauce as well. The couple we went with enjoyed their meals as well. They moved here recently and they were the ones who recommended this place to us. Guessing we will visit this place again next time we are in the area. Highly recommend. I just wish we hadn't eaten so much of our dinner because I would've liked to have tried a dessert.

Trenta, where have you been all my life? This is the most authentic Italian food I've ever had in the United States. Comparable to food I've had in Italy. We had the SPAGHETTI alla CARBONARA and REGGIO CALABRIA and they were incredible. In laws also had the LASAGNA ROSSA and TORINO pizza and said both dishes were incredible. The restaurant is always busy, I recommend making reservations. The parking is valet so be prepared to pay $8 to park.

Love the pizza and pasta options at Trenta! From the moment you glance at the menu, you are whisked away to Italy, and the servers really bring the whole experience to life with great service.

Overall I would say it's great! The main seating area is outdoors and I think they've done a great job decorating but it's still casual in my opinion. Our server took great care of us and explained the menu to us in detail. The food I would say is good but not amazing. I had the special and it was not what I expected so I wish I had something else. My husband had the short rib Ragu which was lovely. I would definitely come back to try other options. We had a great time so still 5 stars from me.

very satisfied with the food, service, and ambiance and can't wait to be back to try more and perhaps get one of their aperol spritz to drink. thank you to the owners for being so welcoming and also helping us find parking. the lot is small and their valet service wasn't available today. thank you to our waiter Lorenzo for being so friendly and packing our food. thank you to the kitchen staff for making our delicious meal. all the food came out so quickly. we loved everything we ate here; the napoli had a great balance of tomato, cheese, & basil- something i feel that many restaurants just cannot get right. the prosciutto was a great add on to the firenze pizza; i'm sure it would still be a great pizza without it, though! the house made chili oil was fragrant and gave an additional balance of flavor and enhancement to the pizza i didn't know i was missing all my life. i've never been offered chili oil at an italian restaurant. i loved it much i purchased a bottle. pasta was perfect texture; beet salad was refreshing. no room for dessert, but next time we will. dining is available indoors and outdoors; they have two clean restrooms. can't wait to try more

The coziest, cutest little Italian spot in Costa Mesa. If you are looking for an intimate spot for a date night or great place for a girls night then Trenta is the place for you! The Pizzas are all made from scratch and if you sit inside you can watch it happen! My friend and I love coming here after our spin class and splitting a pizza + salad. The only downside is parking is very limited.

This is an amazing spot for Italian! Definitely tastes just like the pizza we had in Rome and we can't wait to come back! They have an indoor and outdoor patio. It's very homie on the inside and pleasant outdoors. Food: great! This Napoli pizza was by far the best pizza we had coming back from Italy. The crust was thin and very easy to eat. The sauce was light and complimented very well. I also recommend their Peroni beers - light and refreshing that pairs well with the pizza Service: great! We had Luna and she was so kind. Thank you for helping us out!

Everything was perfect from the service to the ambiance to the food. I will definitely be going back. We orderer the calamari, Napoli pizza and fettuccine bolognese and everything tasted authentic. Next time would want to try the Caesar salad. The people next to us order it and looked delicious as well. Keep in mind its hard to park there and the valet parking is $8.

We had high hopes for Trenta Pizza based on all the great reviews, but it ended up being a pretty forgettable experience. We ordered the pesto pasta, short rib pasta, Bari pizza, and Napoli pizza. Everything tasted plain and underwhelming. The pesto pasta was especially disappointing--something about it was just off. The pizzas were mid at best, and certainly didn't justify the price. On top of that, there was mandatory valet, which felt unnecessary and added to the overall frustration. We spent over $120 and walked away feeling like nothing stood out. For the price and the hype, we expected way more.

Amazing pizza! The beet salad is incredible! The outdoor seating and atmosphere is very inviting and pleasant! I've probably been here 10 times now and have never had any sort of issue of any kind and everything has been excellent!
