The family took the table outside, but it was very obvious from the fathers face he was not happy and I can't blame him. Let people sit where they want to, especially if you want repeat customers. While we were sitting there a family of 4 came in and wanted to sit under the patio (just the opposite of us) and they were told they had to sit outside, even though there were 4 empty tables under the patio. When I opened the menu and saw no Clam Casino Pizza was very disappointed, we were told they change up the menu, which is all well and good, but for crying out loud it is summer in Gansett, bring the clams. First when we asked to sit on the outside patio they said we had to sit under the roof, we wanted to sit in the sun so we more or less insisted we sit outside as there were 4 empty tables out there and no waiting line. So this afternoon we decided to go down for a cocktail and appetizer. On our last visit we had the Clams Casino Pizza and it was excellent.
I live in town and have been to Trio a few times, both summer and winter.
