TRESINI — Restaurant in Lower Gwynedd Township

What a great, unexpected, Italian experience in the suburbs!

Beautiful venue, good food and great atmosphere, perfect for a night out with friends. I enjoyed my time here a lot!

As for the food we started with the homemade bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, and I was not a big fan of it. The bread was very oily and I was surprised it didn't come free of charge with some of the starters like in many Italian restaurants I have been to. All three starters we had - spicy mushroom n'duja (a spicy, spreadable sausage), beef tartare and stracciatella (soft cheese) - were all delicious and great but the last one was my favorite. The tartar had a nice after taste thanks to horseradish topping, very enjoyable as well.

For the main courses we picked yellowfin tuna with peperonata, rigatoni with pork ragu and fettuccine with scallops. The pasta dishes were perfect! Al dente, fresh, seasoned, just perfect as they should be. Seafood tasted fresh, so did the pork. Yellowfin tuna seared crudo came as a surprise to me, already assembled with the pepperoni on top, was very good, soft and mild in taste. Citrus and fennel salad was great as well, flavors in there were incredibly well balanced.

What I didn't enjoy at all was the dessert - the tiramisu in a cup - was runny and watery, not bad in taste, but for me tiramisu is a classic and no experimentation is needed in order to stand out.

Delicious Italian primitivo accompanied our whole evening and was absolutely delicious, even though I was leaving with a sour feeling as the price of the bottle we drank was 8 times higher than the retail price!

Service was excellent, attentive and friendly, constantly buzzing around and refilling our glasses with wine and water. I didn't have high expectations and even though not everything was perfect, it was a very enjoyable evening with great food and amazing wine!

The only reason why I have 4 stars is bc the portions were extra small and I would pay more if the portions were a little bigger. I get it you want to give us the right sized amount but it is appreciated if your servers maybe let us know if we want to share between 4 people that we each will get 2 raviolis (one of the pasta dishes) and for the special pasta we each will get 2 bites of bucatini pasta. We ordered a second special pasta bc it was delicious but we wanted a third and fourth bite! The chicken paillard was delicious but not enough chicken and too much sauce and mushrooms. I would actually go as far to say that the pasta portions would be considered almost like a tapas portion where each person gets a bite maybe 2…. Anyways I’m still going to return bc the flavors were worth it and the home made pastas were worth it. We ordered 3 piattas (the bread) bc they were delicious but they were very small and you must have this so you can soak up the sauces it’s so yummy. I wish the bread would cost $8 and just give us double the amount instead of us having to keep ordering more piatta. 4 ppl cost $400 including tip and you don’t leave feeling stuffed but satisfied. Thank you for...

We have been here about 7 times and the food keeps bringing me back. The service however is questionable. The service has always seemed a bit haphazard, however our waiter last night was surly and inattentive. We have been here a number of times and sat at the bar which is always a positive experience. The caccio Pepe is exceptional and our friends wanted it in the dining room which is 5 steps away from the bar and our waiter curtly responded that it is not available in the dining room. I was put off my his response and said that seems a little rigid. Which apparently annoyed him but he came back and said they can make it if we had our hearts set on this item and that was the beginning of the end...... The waiter was seen slamming doors, no cheese offered for pasta, and the rigatoni was very undercooked and it took 5 minutes to get the attention of any waiter in I replace the dish. The rigatoni came out 10 minutes later after everyone at the table was finished eating. When we went to the manager to discuss our experience his response was disingenuous I have always loved my meals here but last night was a real turn off because of...
