Trento is close to, and within easy travel distance, to Milan, Como, Venice and other amazing Italian cities. It's location is indeed an advantage.

In Trento there are places as Cantinota and La stube, I enjoyed personally salsa places outside the Trento as Mezzacorona, Laives, Rovereto, Trentotto. There are many good caffes and bars in the Trento city.
