    1 star -- A masterclass in how NOT to run a restaurant. Where do I even begin with Laurino's? We came in excited to enjoy a nice dinner and left hangry, frustrated, and honestly confused how this place is still in business. Let's start with the service: we waited over 35 minutes just to get our drinks. No check-in, no "we'll be right with you"--we were basically invisible. When the drinks finally did arrive, my friend's Miami Vice was fully melted into a sad pink soup, and not even layered like a real Miami Vice. I don't know what that drink was, but it wasn't what she ordered. Now the food... or should I say, the food that never showed up? We ordered a pretty standard amount--an entrée per person and two appetizers to share--and somehow, items still went missing. Fries and clam chowder never even made it to the table. One salad did arrive, but that was another disaster. We specifically asked for no feta and dressing on the side. What we got was feta on the side (???) and absolutely no dressing at all. My friend had ordered lobster on her salad, and after bringing out a plain one, the server casually mentioned that the chef had said "no lobster," as if that had been communicated at any point. So now we had a dry, plain salad with a side of cheese we didn't want, and no dressing. Oh--and let's not forget the oysters. They came out completely plain. No horseradish, no cocktail sauce, no ketchup, no vinegar--literally nothing. Just a plate of raw oysters sitting sadly on their own like they were being punished. Every part of this meal was a letdown. Disorganized, slow, and unbothered staff, melted cocktails, missing food, ignored instructions, and flavorless presentation--it was actually impressive how many ways this went wrong. The one silver lining? The martinis were so strong, it almost felt like they were trying to help us forget the whole experience. Mission nearly accomplished. Skip this place. There are plenty of better options nearby that won't waste your time or forget half your order.

    Where's the roast beef?

    Disappointing! Took 30 minutes to get a water & soda. Ordered an appetizer (cherrystone size stuffed quahog) with our meal and it came out AFTER the pizza. Never offered a soda refill, though glass was empty halfway thru the meal. Roast beef grinder was sparse, to the point of having to open the roll to see what was in it. *The Big Mac pizza was very good, the only thing that we would recommend from this visit, but it was $30. Waitress never checked back with us. Had to ask twice for a leftover box, which we packaged ourselves. Then waited and had to ask for the bill. We were given two bills with no explanation until asked - one cash amount, one credit card amount. Again she disappeared and had to be tracked down in the kitchen to be given the cash. I left a tip, which I regretted once I walked out. Tipping is based on service, which I can't say I got. Could have said something, but I would've had to find her first

    I'm surprised by myself for not having written a review about Laurino's Tavern yet. I started coming here about 35-40 years ago. I'm not sure these days who know how the name Laurinos came to be... a Laural and a Mario came together and started the restaurant that is just up the street from Nickerson State Park on 6A. I graduared Nauset Regional High School with one of the second generation and this was well before the bar became the bar it is today. Until then it was just the window in the back of the kitchen. I went with my mom to pick up pizza so I could play the Space Invaders or Asteroid games. At any rate, Laurino's is a lower Cape mainstay Italian restaurant and bar. So... let me put out there that I am biased. Laurino's formed many of my childhood expectations on things like pizza and grinders (not subs, hogies or sandwiches). Their sausage and mushroom grinder is my favorite.... then any pizza. I want to try the Big Mac someday. Today, pepperoni. If I lived closer I'd get satisfied with these and be able to move on to their true calling, Italian entries... especially ones with seafood. BTW, always have a stuffed quohog to get things rolling. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bar is so comfortable, you can spend hours and hours here[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. I have... we used to call it, "going up the hill." Service, pricing and quality are at a superior level.... always. Again, I'm biased. When someone asks me where my local bar is, it's here. Just have to say I'm ashamed ar those who posted sub 5 stars... sub 4... sub 3... who are you? Probably a washashore from somewhere off Cape... NY? NJ? Quebec? Lol.

    We've been to Laurino's many times over the years when on the Cape. Always a good choice for pizza. This time, my husband had the baked scallops and I had the lobster rolls. He said they were some of the best scallops he's ever had. My order came with two lobster rolls and they were delicious. And the prices were very reasonable for the quality and quantity of the food. Service was also very good.

    Great pizza - made fresh and reasonably priced. What more could you ask for??? Oh yeah, good beer selection to go with the beer!

We were able to make a reservation a few hours before we got there and were seated right away. Our table ordered a variety of dishes; for apps we had calamari and chicken wings (crispy and with a delish garlic/parmesan/cilantro sauce) that we also dipped our table bread in. For entrees, we had the star of the show, the mocajete dish, steak tips, chicken caprese dish, chicken parm dishes, scallops w/pasta and salmon and risotto dishes. All were delicious and devoured. The service was good and tap water taste a little different, not sure if that's a Cape Cod thing. The entrees did seem to take a little long to come out and not all at the same time. All in all, everyone was happy with their dish. Highly recommend this place.

I did takeout here when it was still the pandemic days. The lobster and clams linguine was generously portioned with a full lobster, lots of clams, and an abundance of linguini. The fisherman's stew was chock full of fish and other seafood, with a flavorful and briny broth. I came here for in-person dining recently and it seemed like the portions were smaller than before I suppose it's shrinkflation but not the most pleasant. The shrimp scampi was fine but nothing to write home about. I think the best part was the pasta, which was homemade. The seafood bowl special had scallops on the half-shell but they were definitely bay scallops, which was disappointing. Service was prompt and friendly. The restaurant is not a bad choice but if you're here on vacay, you can (and should) find something better.

Next time, I would probably skip those; they don't seem worth it. For food, we got the sampler appetizer platter, which was generous with all of the food. It came with nachos, taquitos, chicken wings, and a cheese quesadilla. The nachos and taquitos were good, and the chicken wings were surprisingly my favorite!
