At first, I was intrigued by the mix of Mexican and sushi on the menu, but we stuck with Mexican this time and we were not disappointed. The waitress greeted us right away and, seeing how hungry I was, quickly brought us homemade chips and salsa. The chips were fresh and warm, and the salsa was absolutely delicious , bold, fresh, and full of flavor. My wife ordered a burrito that was massive (in true burrito fashion), and I went with three tacos so I could sample a variety. The fish taco was my favorite, crispy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced then followed by the chicken and then the shrimp. I loved being able to try three different types in one meal. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and our waitress was super friendly and informative. She told us it's a family-owned business, which made the experience feel even more special. We may not find ourselves in this neighborhood often, but if we're ever back, I'm absolutely getting Chicano's to go. Great food, great service, and an unexpected find that I'm really glad we stumbled upon.

For…read morestarters, there is a huge parking lot and the restaurant is super clean - great first impressions! We each had tasty cocktails and ordered some appetizers - shrimp shumai and two specialty sushi rolls. The sushi was so fresh and delicious! It made me do a happy food dance. For our entrees I ordered more shrimp! I had the basil shrimp with noodles and Meg had the crispy peanut chicken with noodles. I love that you can upgrade to noodles instead of rice! The food was so good!!! The peanut sauce was to die for too. Meg tried the fried ice cream for dessert too and it looked bomb! The food and ambiance are all amazing but the staff were so nice. They all made a point to check on us frequently and make sure we got anything we needed. I can't wait to come back for hibachi!

We really loved doing this because we had the place mostly to ourselves and got to ask lots of questions about their massive, and highly impressive menu! We each got a very fun cocktail, split some sushi and a shrimp appetizer than Taylor thought i would like! We loved everything! We then got entrees that fit our food preferences! I am a chicken gal and Taylor loves shrimp! Hers looked amazing, and I was obsessed with mine! Their noodles are to die for and I could literally drink their peanut sauce like a soup. It is SO tasty! I decided to get the fried ice cream for dessert, and aside from being way too full when i left, i have zero regrets! The spot is absolutely stunning. I literally gasped when i walked in. The decor, the giant Buddha, the coy pond---so stunning! Service here was wonderful! Our server was sweet, attentive and friendly! We were checked on by several staff members throughout---they care about their customers for sure! We will def have to come back to try hibachi!

Very fast service , prices are super cheap. 1 dollar for an empanada. This is the best empanada I…read morehave had in this area. It was also one of the best fresh lemonades I have drank. The seasoning of the beef was great, the beef also had a great texture. The pastry was cooked beautifully, had a nice crunch and it was not super greasy. The empanadas were also stuffed full with the beef. This place is a must for a quick and filling lunch ! I also want to mention how clean this place is and they do have a couple of tables to sit at.

We visited Tu Cafeteria recently and unfortunately the experience felt uncomfortable from the…read moremoment we walked in. The atmosphere was not welcoming at all - it honestly felt like we were bothering the person working there. I understand this is a startup, but it didn't seem prepared or ready to receive customers. The space is very small with limited seating, and the tables felt more like outdoor patio furniture than indoor dining. It was also very cold inside, with only a small portable heater that didn't really help. We ordered two sandwiches -a Cuban and a ham and cheese. When we asked what comes on the sandwiches, the response was "whatever you want on it," followed by "salad," which was confusing. I assumed that meant lettuce and tomato, but for someone working in a cafeteria-style restaurant, the lack of clarity was surprising. The premade food (pastelitos) looked old and unappetizing. The overall vibe was extremely quiet and awkward, with no warmth or energy in the space. When our food was ready, it wasn't brought to our table, the staff member stood in a doorway and expected us to grab it ourselves. I also asked for sparkling water and then regular water, and neither was available. Positives: The sandwiches themselves were good--warm and nicely pressed. The mayo/ketchup sauce, however, had way too much garlic (and I mean way too much). Overall, there's potential here, but the customer service, preparedness, and atmosphere really need improvement to make this a place people want to return to.

If you want Thai food, I would easily recommend this place…read more We sat down to eat once and ordered takeout once. Both in-person and to-go/takeout services were good: friendly and pleasant. Ordered the papaya salad, drunken noodles, pad thai, and thai tea (with jelly) for two people. Everything tasted really good. We got the papaya salad spicy, and it was appropriately spicy for a Thai restaurant! The thai tea was sweet (as this drink often is), but had that tinge of bitterness that I like from good thai teas. Everything tasted great: well-seasoned, not too sweet/salty/oily. I would recommend everything we ordered. We had some leftovers to take home. On our takeout order, we got the pad thai, pad see eiw, and Thai fried rice. Everything was packaged nicely and was still hot when we got home. I thought the quality of the pad thai was the same quality as when we sat down to eat. I also like the flavors of it and appreciate that they didn't have a side cup of fish sauce to add. Good! You're the chef, you tell me how it should taste and I can judge afterwards. My judgement: It's really yummy pad thai, probably my favorite. Parking is easy if it's not too crowded; there are spots immediately behind the restaurant. 4 stars because I am very happy to be a repeat customer. This might be an unfair opinion, but I wished the portion size was a bit bigger (although, I would not want the quality to go down as a result).

We came here on a weekend afternoon and called in a reservation for 10 people. The place was pretty…read moreempty aside from a few to-go orders. The food took awhile to get to us but we weren't in a rush. Plus, it meant that everything was being made very fresh, which our food very much was. Among the 10 of us, we ordered a lot of food, including the papaya salad, dumplings, scallion pancakes, yellow curry, and pineapple fried rice. The scallion pancakes weee perfectly crispy and flaky, and were really quite good. The papaya salad also had all the fine flavors. Everyone also enjoyed the dumplings. I think the pineapple fried rice could have been more fragrant and I was disappointed that the yellow curry wasn't as sweet, or as fragrant as I'm used to, but it was still really good stuff. But I'm glad the curry came with rice and that we didn't have to place extra orders there. Overall I'm really glad we settled on this Thai place - it was really quite good and the prices were very reasonable. They also made it very easy for us to pay by keeping separate tabs for each family. And it was nice they have a private parking lot as well so you don't have to park your car in the street. I definitely recommend this place. The place is well decorated, clean, and has a good amount of tables for various customers.

Fondi. Itri. That last one matters. That's where Joe and Esther DeQuattro's family recipes come from. That's the promise on the wall. Joe and Esther have been building serious Italian restaurants in Rhode Island since 2002. Pane e Vino on Federal Hill. Massimo, also on Federal Hill. Bar Lino is the newest, and they've built something that has no business looking this good in a Johnston strip mall. Red leather barstools, black tile floor with white cross inlay, globe pendants, warm light, a full liquor wall. Walk in and you forget where you parked. Start with the meatballs. Two of them, in sauce, with a dollop of ricotta on the plate. Tender, dense, moist all the way through. The sauce and the meat came from the same place of intention. Sunday dinner The ricotta cooled things down just enough. Get these. We went for the grandma pizza. Fior di latte, pepperoni, black olives added. It arrived on a sheet pan looking exactly right, cut into squares, edges golden. The crust looked like it would crunch, somewhere between focaccia and Pizza Hut visually and in its golden brown texture, but it didn't deliver in either direction. The sauce soaked into the dough. The cheese separated from the top. The pepperoni carried the pie, crispy-edged and punchy, and did it well. The grandma pie has four versions on the menu. The one with pink vodka sauce and roasted garlic might be worth the next visit. If I come back again I am probably going to shoot for a chicken or veal parm because I think they probably do an excellent version of that based on all visual cues. Service was professional and well-timed. There when you needed them, gone when you didn't.

Our whole family can't stop talking about how good everything was. That says a lot. First, the space. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the acoustics are genuinely impressive. My grandfather wears hearing aids and he had zero trouble following conversation all night. That's rare and it meant so much to us. We had a reservation and they sat us early, which immediately set the tone. The bread and bread oil kit they bring out? Do not skip it. Just trust me. We had kids with us and their food came out so fast I actually laughed. Our food followed shortly after and the pasta was truly exceptional. Just genuinely high quality, generous portions, and completely worth every penny. We were shocked at how affordable the bill was for what we got. Our server Envy was an absolute gem. Friendly, attentive, and so kind. But honestly the whole staff was like that. Other servers who weren't even in our section came over just to joke around with our kids. The table was never cluttered. A dirty dish sat in front of us for maybe ten seconds before it was gone. I travel for work domestically and for pleasure domestically and internationally and can say that Bar Lino is the only flawless restaurant experience I have ever had. Flawless from start to finish. We will be back. Bring everyone you love!
