Rino's is in a 19th century stone church, but decked out in old eastcoast style Italian decor. We went with steak in mind and both ordered the ribeyes. I hadthe mushroom sauce. Both our steaks were wonderful, prepared perfectly very tasty and nicely portioned. Fresh italian salad was great as was the italian bread served with a oil/balsamic vinegar and... More

This was a complete suprise that a restaurant this good is in a town this small. The service and food were the best we have had in at least the last 20 years traveling. I had the steak and wife had the chicken. This was recommended by the LaQuinta hotel staff. If ever there its a must.

We stopped in for an early dinner, expecting Italian food of a different caliber than what we found. Although a charming place with excellent service, a bountiful glass of delicious Pinot Grigio and singing that brought a tear to the eye, the food brought a tear, too, for the wrong reasons. My chicken piccata lacked flavor. Perhaps it was because... More

We pass Trinidad all the time between NM and CO, today we finally got off the highway and found this place. I count myself lucky.

The hardest thing about going to Rino's is leaving. I've been there five times and each time was great. The food is delicious and fairly priced, the talent is amazing. I wonder how Rino can find this much talent in such a small city. I plan on returning many times.

Very bad experience in this italian restaurant! We are italian and never go to italian restaurants in the States but, in Trinidad, no coiche! Old and broken forniture, old and dirty carpet, very poor imitation of italian cusine. Very cheap price: impossible to buy good ingredients.

We had a very romantic dinner with excellent Italian food, a beautiful setting, and best all, singing waiters. Ask the owner to sing something in Italian to set the mood for the evening. The house salad is a bountiful combination of greens and vegetables. The wine list is good and there are often wine specials at incredible savings. You can't... More

We love this place - whenever we travel from New Mexico to Colorado we make a point of coming here. It is a classic Italian-American menu, dishes are well prepared and tasty, and the talented staff are very friendly and sing while you eat. Really a rare treat. Our 2 year old daughter was mesmerized. The restaurant is in a... More

Great food and excellent atmosphere. The owner makes you feel like you are at home! The staff sings for you while you eat. We WILL come back when we pass thru again.

If you like music from popular tunes to broadway this restaurant will delight you. We had 2 adults and 2 teenagers who are a little picky and each enjoyed their dish. The manager came around and visited with us. He sang a duet of "The Prayer" which was amazing. We will plan our future trips around dinner there.
