We had just paid the check so we gathered our things and headed out. On the way, we noticed several other four-top tables open, which made the request feel a bit odd. Out of curiosity, I even checked reservations for the rest of the night and saw that there was still availability for parties of four. I truly enjoyed the food and would return, but the way this situation was handled definitely left a bad impression.

The food is exceptionally good and the prices are in line and what you'd expect. I do have one complaint..... The red sauce, although quite tasty, was EXTREMELY oily. So much so that I had to keep my plate tipped so I could drain off some of the excess. I noticed when she removed the lid on the sauce pan there was a pool of oil on top. Had that been spooned off rather than mixed back in, it would probably have been OK. I believe some folks may like their sauce like that but there are others who don't or should not have that much grease in their food for health or diet reasons. Maybe they could offer the sauce as is and also a "lighter" version where the grease is drained ? Other than that, the place is a nice treat and a good alternative to cooking dinner yourself ! I think some little round "personal" pizzas would go over well too along with pizza strips. You gotta have pizza strips !~ Great little place and I hope they do well, very nice people !!!

It was matinee and a cold wet miserable evening so we needed pasta. Luckily Sardella's had reservations available. We were a large group so there was a lot of food! We all shared the calamari appt. For mains I got the Rigatoni alla Vodka pictured below and my daughter and niece both ordered Tortellini alla Ella. Others ordered Bolognese, Fra Diavolo, Veal Marsala, and Risotto. Portions were generous and there were take home boxes! The place was warm, great ambiance and smelled divine.

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!

This is a very large restaurant and bar with a modern ambiance. Based on our visit, I would say…read moreit's a clear favorite with the locals. The bar area is large with lots of seating both at the bar top and many high top tables nearby. Booth seating is also available in the bar area with tables in a dining room on the opposite side of the restaurant for families. The menu is large and offers apps, pizzas, sandwiches, pastas, entrees and dessert. Full bar with beer on tap. Our waiter was very friendly and capable. Everything was very clean. For ambiance, this place has it going on. A basket of focaccia, olives and oil were brought to the table. The bread was very soft and the oil has a nice body. We ordered a 'suppli' appetizer. Suppli is a Roman 'street food': a hand help item, small enough to get two or three as a snack. These suppli are quite large. It's an interesting take on the original and definitely a 'knife and fork' appetizer. Wouldn't repeat order this myself. My dining companion ordered the Carbonara. They bring it to the table with a raw egg on top of the dish which makes a nice 'photo op', but isn't really how the dish would be prepared by Nonna. The guanciale was not cooked 'crisp' and the pasta was cooked soft vs. 'al dente'. The carbonara sauce was tasty. The pizza Margarita was a nice presentation. The sauce is not made with San Marzano tomato so the flavor is not there. The Caesar salad lettuce and dressing were fine. They offer it with a piece of anchovy on top if you like to eat those. It's your choice. The shaved cheese on top did not taste very good at all. I thought it might be my taste buds so I offered a piece to my companion and they confirmed it was 'not good'. They have the ambiance down 100% and the service was very good. Presentation of the food seems to be more important than creating authentic Italian cuisine. It's clearly loved by the locals and I'm sure they won't mind my not returning. Just wanted to let you know; don't expect the 'real deal' from the food. It's American-Italian cuisine so if that is what you are looking for, you will most likely very much enjoy this spot. Bathrooms are gender neutral. Parking is shared with other businesses in the strip mall. Wait to be seated by the hostess.

I ordered the linguine alla vongole and OMG...the best one I've had so far. Portion was ginormous. It was so GOOD I finished it in one sitting. No leftovers. Gail, I believe her name was, was surprised I kept going bc it can feed two, maybe three people. I had a bite of the chicken parm as well and was very tasty. I definitely want to return until I've tried every dish on the menu.

This is one of the best hidden gems of the providence area…read more If ever any of you are in the Providence area and you want a really authentic Italian dinner without the price, pretension, and hassle of Federal Hill , but also a restaurant that accommodates families, I highly suggest "Posillipo" off the beaten path on Waterman Ave in North Providence. I've been there twice now and their food is amazing and the ambiance and hospitality are so very rare. You walk in and it feels like being invited to a family dinner. First time I had the Lobster Pescatoré. Was fantastic. Tonight I had their special Rack of Lamb. They asked how I wanted it and delivered perfectly. The chef/owner Luigi is a really friendly older man from Italy. He's the real deal and he runs an amazing restaurant and kitchen. He once told us that he goes to the market at dawn every day to pick out the choicest produce. Everything is made fresh. The Place isn't fancy, but they've made it nice with the space they have. It is a hidden gem. They serve only beer and wine, soda and water. I've only gotten half carafes of Cab. But the chef came out and had shots of homemade limoncello with us before and gave us complimentary Bruschetta. Rumor is they get their bread from Buono Italian Bakery in Providence. I've been there for double dinner dates and dinner with the kids. I highly recommend.
