Il Trombone In Spello

A symphony to be tuned. It's always difficult to write a review when the experience doesn't quite resonate. At Trombone, the overture is promising: the courteous and helpful staff plays their score with good rhythm, and the dishes arrive on time. The terrace is a pleasant setting for a summer dinner, but the interior, unfortunately, lacks light and atmosphere, appearing a bit too "minor-key." The restaurant's soundtrack is provided by a small speaker that fails to evenly distribute the music, leaving the room in a dissonant silence broken only by unpleasant notes—a jarring detail, especially for a restaurant named after a wind instrument. Culinary-wise, the dishes are executed with reasonable technique but without any melodic flourishes. The cooked vegetable appetizer and baked potatoes are neutral, while the truffle pasta, though elegantly presented, lacks the expected crescendo of flavors: the truffle doesn't stand out from the crowd, and the lack of salt makes it necessary for the diner to directly intervene with salt, pepper, and oil to re-tune the flavors. A decidedly off-key note? The appearance, between one movement and another, of a cat, strolling slowly between the tables. A curious detail for some, but for others, it could disrupt the harmony of the experience. The menu, as other reviewers have noted, offers a rather limited selection: a choice that, if well-orchestrated, could become a strong point, but for now it feels more like a timid solo that doesn't dare. This review isn't meant to be a scathing judgment, but rather an invitation to re-tune. The basics are there: the score can work, it just needs a few more rehearsals, a more inspired conductor, and, above all, the will to transform a rough draft into a memorable concert. P.S. For the record, I've never ordered gluten-free pasta, but I've ordered something vegan.

We absolutely loved our lunch at this restaurant! The terrace is truly stunning and the view enchanting. The very kind and helpful waitress always served us with courtesy and kindness. We absolutely loved the arrosticini with roasted potatoes and the flavorful cuisine at this restaurant! Finally, I personally loved the baked peaches! A simple and authentic dessert with truly incredible flavor!

Slow, Slow, Slow....when asked to turn on the air conditioning, the scene was silent, the stew was served cold, the dessert was without cutlery, the coffee was non-existent, out of 39 people who had booked they demanded the collection of 1 missing person. It's a shame, the food could have been worthy, but the organization certainly wasn't.

Wonderful view, suitable for children, delicious food. The only flaw, probably due to the event of the infiorata, is the quantity/price of the pasta. As for the quality, the dishes were divine (first and second).

Great food, very friendly staff and breathtaking view from the terrace.

An hour and a half for an appetizer and a first course (under the sun)

Food good. The service slowed down as soon as customers entered. Otherwise, nothing bad to say.

Restaurant found by chance, all in all good
