    About Triola’s Kitchen

    Triola’s Kitchen offers an outstanding dining experience with delicious and fresh food, particularly praised is the Seafood Lasagna and Key Lime Pie. The service is exceptional, with the owner, Frank Triola, often serving customers personally. The restaurant is a quaint Italian place, ideal for a neighborhood eatery, and has a BYOB policy. Triola’s Kitchen goes above and beyond to make special occasions memorable, as seen in their generous portions and accommodating attitude towards indecisive diners. The atmosphere is perfect for any occasion, making it a place worth returning to.

    You’ll want a seat at this come-hungry Italian spot from chef Frank Triola of Azzarelli’s fame. House specialties like veal-stuffed Papa’s mushrooms, lasagna with the chef’s special red sauce, and chicken Triola (stuffed with sausage and mozzarella) anchor the menu — and wine lovers, do take note: Triola’s is BYOB, and there’s no corkage fee.
