    We had a great dinner at Bon. We were taking my 86 year old Aunt out for her birthday. When I mentioned it was her birthday to the waitress, she said "Happy Birthday! You get a free gelato for dessert." That was such a nice surprise. She loved it! Restaurants don't usually do that anymore but it's a great thing to do for customers. The food was great and the waitress, Emily, was exceptional. The warm bread is delicious. The only question I have is why doesn't the veal saltimbucca come with potatoes AND green beans like the other dishes. It comes with just the potaotes. All in all, we would recommend this restaurant.

    This was our first time visiting this restaurant. The waitstaff were very attentive. The menu had enough to choose from, were we settled on Chicken Parmigiana and Veal Saltimbocca. Both dishes had great flavor, however the chicken and veal were both over cooked. Restaurant was very loud, but we kind of figured it would be with the bar being in the center.

    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.
