Located at the corner of Cohoes Road/Route 32 and Alden Street, the Trestle takes its name from a nearby rail bridge.

“Our goal is to put out the best quality food we can and serve it at an affordable price,” he said. “With the capabilities of (the Trestle’s) kitchen, we’ll be able to increase what we do (at Cobblestone), too.”
