    Had a gift card, close to home, and had a yen for Italian. This fit the bill. We had never been there so had no idea what to expect . We did our usual Italian food test, veal parm and chicken parm. When finished we compared notes and decided that it was ok. Not stellar nor awful just ok. The waitress was great.

    Bar Lino Ristorante is a gem! Just off the highway with plenty of parking, we were greeted with a warm smile, shown to our table, and met the most wonderful and knowledgeable staff. The bread, salad, sandwiches, pizza, and canoli(s) all outstanding! Everything was fresh and delicious, thank you Chef. We are looking forward to returning for dinner or brunch next week and cannot wait to further explore this very creative menu. Thank you Bar Lino for a great experience.

    For some reason, every time we dine here, we get seated in the hidden corner behind the door. Which means it takes a while for anyone to notice you. The food is hit or miss. Interesting menu. The apps and salads are the best feature so far and honestly; worth going for. *I do NOT recommend the lasagna.

    The food was very good, I had an Italian Old Fashion. It was nice to see it was made right muddled with a dehydrated orange, luxardo cherry and big ice cube!! Service was good and good vibe in the restaurant.

    The atmosphere and food were excellent! The service wasn’t great. It was not very busy and the waitress wasn’t very attentive at all, nor was she particularly friendly. I would go back because the location is convenient and the menu had some interesting choices. And everyone can have an off day.

    First we were there during happy hour so it was noisier than lunch. If you want a quiet dinner I would ask for a seat far from the bar. Food was very good, we both had veal parm and they allowed me to switch my pasta for rigatoni. Last time we had the bolognaise and the Carbonara. We have not been disappointed. . Nice wine selection with opportunities to try new kinds. Desert however was to die for. We shared the chocolate mouse and then took home the lemon ricotta cheesecake for later. I also went there with my friends for lunch. They have a lovely lunch special that gives you soup or salad, an entry, and cannoli for I believe it was 19.99. So if you want to go out of dinner but not looking for a intimate romatic evening...just good food; this is the place. Oh and we really was impressed with the service. All the waitstaff was attentive and they helped each other out. A pleasurable experience.
