   We found both the service and the food exceptional. This was our first time and we most certainly will return to sample the other dishes that are offered.

   Nicely done focaccia to start. Good pizza. Very good house made pasta but, sadly, served with a disappointing, rather bland bolognese…I’ll try something different next time but very surprised by this. Excellent, friendly staff. Very good service. Lovely space.

   Dinner for 3 was very nice. we all had something different. Our waiter, Envy, was very personable and professional. He made very good recommendations, especially on our wine choice.

   We are eating our way through this menu and loved everything we have tried. The recipes are authentic especially the carbonara. No peas here but real guanciale. We have also had the bolognaise, the Sunday gravy, the veal parmigiana, veal piccata and veal saltimbocca. We would order each dish again. But one of the real gems is the lemon ricotta cheesecake. This desert is a must and it will bring back memories of the one your grandmother would make. Also it is important to note...I look for this desert everywhere I go. Maybe if you are lucky you may find it at Easter. At Bar Lino it is a stable and go there just to bring desert home. As for the service, I never have felt not attended to, last night Envyus took care of us. He had just the right amount of service not annoying but attentive to make sure our wine glasses were full and to check back just the right amount. Also it is important to note that the manager also made the rounds to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. As for ambiance, this is not a place for a romantic special occasion, but is is a great place to bring the family, for a Friday night unwind from a long work week or just a great place to get a good meal that Mom doesn't have to cook. We will continue to make this one of our neighborhood favorites.

   Overall, a very good dining experience. There was a group of rather loud people at the bar end of the restaurant, and their voices echoes throughout it, which made dining and talking a bit difficult at times. The food was exceptional, but a couple of the portions could’ve been bigger. The service was impeccable, and the wait staff and others were very personable, knowledgeable, and helpful. We will definitely be going back;hopefully in a quieter time. If you are looking for a fun place, however I imagine it is good around happy hour on the weekends.

   The food is very good and priced similar to others. They do have a reasonable lunch special that may be appealing. Personally I love the pasta dishes and entrees too much to have a sandwich and soup for lunch. The atmosphere is more casual than a fine dining but a great place for a meal. I have tried the bolognaise, the carbonara, the sunday gravy and the veal parmigiana. All of which I would happily have again!!!

   This was our second time dining here, everything was very good. Our server Emily M. (Who we had our first time here) was great she is very accommodating and she has great input regarding food, dessert, and drink choices. We will definitely be back. And we will be asking for Emily as our server.
