   A fan of Landini Brothers for over 40 years. The food is always first rate. A favorite of mine are the mussels in red sauce.

   Such a nice touch to have a birthday card and confetti on the table when we arrived!

   Sadly, what had been for years has now officially become a tourist trap with the food and service to match. Beware of the daily specials, like the "lobster linguine," which has been a daily special for about 20 years now; the server won't tell you it's $80. Food was bland and undercooked. One entree had to be sent back it was so bad. Service (both the server and kitchen) slow -- 30 minute wait between entrees and mains. The only person who appeared to be working hard was the young man on ice water refill duty. I think they have decided they are catering to tourists who will never come back as opposed to their formerly-loyal local clientele. Don't waste your money.

   Once again, Landini Bros. provided a joyous environment providing lasting memories. And Isabelle’s thoughtful consideration made for a wonderfully pleasant experience. Monkey 47! 😃

   Normally this is a great place to bring a group of people in for dinner. Food is pretty consistently good. The service last night, on a slow Sunday, was horrific. There was no service, really. The back servers were the only people doing things, bringing us water and bread when we asked for it. We had to ask someone else if they knew who our waiter was. Then we had to call him over. We had to ask what the specials were (we know they always have some) and ask for the wine list. We had to ask for more bread. We had to ask him to take our appetizers order after he left the first time and never came back. I asked the host if she could have the waiter return to us. BIZARRE! Weird. It started making the whole experience uncomfortable. Then someone else brought the costly bottle of wine we ordered. That was a mess. And went downhill from there. Had to order another bottle of wine. That took more time. Our waiter avoided eye contact with us. We had to keep asking people to come over to our table. So weird. Foos finally came; we had been there for an hour and a half at this point. Nobody asked if we needed more wine, bread, water, or desserts. We just put our credit card on the table at some point, signaling that we were done. Again, something was very off last night.

   Excellent food and service. On a busy night, can be noisy.

    I had the Landini salad (which I love) with blackened salmon. The salmon was delicious- cooked perfectly. Unfortunately the salad had so much salad dressing on it that it was inedible. This is usually a wonderful salad with crisp romaine and thinly sliced mushrooms mixed with a creamy dressing. This time there was so much dressing that the lettuce became soggy and limp within two minutes.
