Very cute little restaurant - came here for brunch and the food was very fresh and tasty! It wasn't anything super special or fancy, but great comfort food and nice staff.

I went to Trufa for a meeting with my mentor. I didn't know what to expect because of the mixed reviews. I wanted the crab cake but I don't think it was on the menu. So I chose the blackened salmon with spaghetti and marinara sauce. My God, it was hot, hearty and very delicious. The portion was also very generous. We had the avocado salad as an appetizer which equally as delicious. The ingredients were very fresh and green. Last, we had the tiramisu for dessert. I have had tiramisu before but I was blown away by the taste, light, creamy with a touch of cacao and coffee. Definitely coming back with a friend or family member. We sat down outdoors so I can't say other than inside is small. The staff was friendly when it was 11am. Before that, those who we met just said they are not open. It could have been said in a softer tone like thank you for waiting but we will have someone you when we open for customers at 11am.

Came here to have dinner for our first night in the city and Trufa did not disappoint. The ambiance is so warm and cozy, beautiful music playing, staff is very attentive, and the food was incredible. The clam chowder was so buttery smooth and the pasta was incredible.

Chief Edwardo is Talented!!!!! I was starving and did not want to cook so I went to Trufa on Wednesday, 8/24/22, and ordered the Chicken Parm with mixed veggies. Well I was impressed!!!! The Chicken was crispy and delicious with sauce on top and cheese. The veggies where cooked to perfection and sauteed with garlic and Oh-- do I love garlic. I totally recommend Trufa and Chief Edwardo; he is very kind and humble man and an excellent chief. Folks, it's all about the Chief.

So Came in for a late night and staff welcomed us. The red pasta name begins with an O and while it was tomato flavored, it wasn't too much plus a hint of cream. The white clear sauce pasta tasted like chicken broth flavored. All was incredibly delicious and I would say this is a hidden gem in this neighborhood. Highly recommend! We asked to be seated outside and the employees checked on us throughout dinner. Great service and food!

It was lunch time on a weekend, and I was in the mood for salmon. After looking through my options on UberEats, I found Trufa restaurant and the salmon sandwich that it offered. I decided to give this a try, and waiter the 30 minutes for my food to be delivered. The sandwich came in ciabatta bread, and included avocado and veggies. There was a green salad and some dressing. The sandwich was decent in taste, as was the salad. It left me feeling satisfied. I'll consider this place the next time I'm looking for a good lunch option, and I'll look forward to trying out their other dishes.

Did you say Brunch All Week??? Oh I'm Down for Sure! A cozy little restaurant which in any other circumstances would be take out only. However with the lay out they seem to make it work with 7 table tops for two. In one area those table can be combined to accommodate a larger group. Nonetheless they have a 7day Brunch menu that looks pretty decent as well as their regular menu is nothing to turn your nose up at either. No bar or drink menu available but red/white sangria or wine and mimosas can be ordered. The service was great you and can virtually see your food being prepared from almost every seat in the house. Food was nicely prepared and really tasty. Salmon and Eggs a spin on Steak and Egg was a nice touch for those who don't eat meat. My cousin and I order the same dish with a sub of salads for the home-fries. A bit a food envy on my part I must admit, because her House salad looked better than my Caesar but it was still good. Lol Overall a nice little low key spot that I look forward to returning to, there were a few items on the menu I had my eye on.
