EAT PALM BEACH | TREVINI RISTORANTE
We had heard good things about Trevini, so we decided to make a reservation for Valentine’s Day. We had a 8:00pm reservation and were seated immediately upon arrival. It was a little chilly out so we chose to sit inside, though the outdoor courtyard seating looked beautiful.
The restaurant was intimate but swanky with a bar in the back corner. Everyone seemed to have a uniform with servers in white jackets, bussers in vests, etc. giving the restaurant an upscale feel without being stuffy. Our server was a handsome gentleman with a sexy Italian accent which I didn’t have a problem with. The service was impeccable and the menu and wine menu were plentiful.
We were started with a Bruschetta of fresh tomato and onion on a crisp toast. It was light and fresh and the onion definitely shown through. The butter they served with the bread was delicious and whipped with herbs. We shared a Caesar Salad for appetizer. The dressing was creamy with a tanginess and the romaine was perfectly crisp.
Italian food is my favorite so ordering is always a nightmare. I narrowed it down to the Branzino (Mediterranean Sea Bass) which was prepared whole in a salt crust, the Scaloppine Sorrentina with veal, eggplant and prosciutto, or the Gnocchi in a genovese sauce. After consulting the our server, I decided on the Gnocchi. They were rich and tender and served in a basil pesto sauce. The table next to us ordered the Branzino, which they prepared table side. I may try that next time now that I know I won’t have a fish staring at me while I eat.
Andrew shook it up and didn’t order the Chicken Parmigiano. He went with one of the specials of the evening – the Veal Osso Buco. For this alone, I love Trevini! I had never heard of Osso Buco, but it is awesome. I would call it the equivalent of an America Pot Roast – slow cooked, fall apart meat. It was served with a Saffron Risotto and it was delicious. The flavor was amazing and the texture is what I referred to as “meat butter.” The meat fell off the bone and then melted in your mouth. I fully intend on trying to recreate this meal at home. The server had mentioned that it’s a meal that people who’ve had it before order anytime they hear it’s available and I can totally understand why. It had that home-cooked, comfort food feel that just screamed “Grandma’s Osso Buco.”
Their Wine Menu was fantastic with a blend of Italian and American wines. They also had a handful of champagnes and sparkling wines to choose from. I had the De Bertiol Prosecco and Andrew went with the Mettler Cabernet Sauvignon. But if you’re feeling frisky they have a menu of Super Tuscans and Brunello.
I would absolutely recommend Trevini. It is a beautiful place with great food, service and atmosphere. I’m sure we’ll be back – again and again.
