    Fall sangria
    Kelly F.

    I recently visited with a large party. They have a huge menu with a variety of offerings from pasta, poultry, seafood and steak. They have a decent drink menu/wine list as well. I opted for the fall sangria and it was delightful. It was light, sweet and cinnamony. My table ordered some apps and I tried the calamari and stuffed mushrooms. The calamari was crisp not chewy and the mushrooms were mediocre. I'm biased because I don't think sausage belongs in stuffed mushrooms. Service was friendly but slow. I don't think we ate until about 7:45 and arrived at 5:30. It was a big party for the kitchen to accommodate but our main course orders weren't taken until maybe 7:15. I went back and forth deciding what I wanted for my main dish. I was between chicken Marsala, fresh ricotta gnocchi, baked haddock or scallops and risotto. I'm a fairly good cook and can make all at home with the exception of scallops. I don't know what my problem is, but they're either over or undercooked. So I decided scallops for the win. The portions are huge and I was only able to eat half. I brought the rest home for my older son. They were a bit sandy but otherwise okay....until....about 12 hours later. My body literally self destructed. I had instant regret for not ordering the gnocchis. Those sandy scallops woke me up in the morning with a violent exit. This plagued me for a full 48 hours. At one point I desperately texted my son from the bathroom: " Did you eat the scallops yet?! Don't!!! Throw them away!!!!!" It was catastrophic and my entire long weekend was ruined by these insidious little batards. I should have just ordered the friggin gnocchis. My coworkers complained food was too salty but only one other got sick. Sadly I probably will never return except maybe for dessert or drinks. They do have an amazing variety of desserts in the express area and you can order an entire chocolate cake for 33.99. I thought that was pretty reasonable. Prices in general are pretty reasonable. About 23 of us dined. Some had drinks, some dessert, some both and it was $59 each with tip included. (Note 20% is added for tip, if split 25%). One of our party only had a card so had separate check for this reason. I typically overtip anyway so it wasn't a problem just something to be mindful of. They have their own parking lot so parking is easy and free. Overall, I just wouldn't recommend the scallops. Stick with pasta, or chicken unless you need to lose a few lbs quickly.

    Delicious food! Big parking lot with plenty of space for parking. Service is great. Food is delicious!

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!

Napoli. 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.

We each had a glass of soda. For dessert, we shared the apple crisp with vanilla ice cream. I found the service to be good. They were attentive and they didn't make any mistakes. They did seem a little bit rushed, but then again, the restaurant was packed that night. It was a comfortable but casual environment. We had a booth and it felt private enough even though it was pretty close to the door. We got there at about 5 o'clock, and by the time we were almost ready to leave people were waiting to get in. Since I went here, I recommended it to the rest of my family who all want to try it now. I would recommend it because for starters, the prices are affordable and comparable to similar casual restaurants, the menu is quite varied with lots of choices, it's comfortable and the service was good.

The guanciale paired with pecorino romano is bound to be on the saltier side, but I think the pasta could have been unsalted to balance it out a bit more. That said, the guanciale and pasta were delicious, perfectly cooked. You can tell they use quality, simple ingredients! Their 3-course presto lunch for $24 is a hard to beat deal; however, I may venture out to their regular menu next time. Yes--there will likely be another time!

But there's parking so that's a plus. The location gives very upscale vibes and the decor and ambiance match it. I went a little before Christmas and it was beautiful inside, the decor was top-tier, very dim lit place and very cozy and on the quieter side even with a lot of people. My first experience Kendrick was my waiter, very genuine and kind and attentive. Did an amazing job. Said all the specials word for word no menu- impressive. I got the lobster ravioli special and it was delicious! That day everything was very good even though Kendrick had tons of tables - so stuff took a little bit, but I understand. Now I also came today. I ordered stuffed mushrooms they were very good. And ordered the snowflake mimosa- so cute and very yummy, edible glitter yes please! For my meal I ordered the pasta with clams (forgot the official name), I took all my clams out the shells and put them on my pasta. Took one bite of my clam and tasted sand, gross. Now I know how clams can eat sand but personally I know you have to rinse them and wash them several times to get the sand out. So I chucked it up as a bad clam, bit into another one and same thing, spit it out and was done, that's gross. Lost my appetite and told my server Mia, she apologized and was sweet from beginning to end! The manager on duty I guess came over and apologized and asked if I wanted anything else, told her no. The sand taste isn't pleasant/ so you'll lose your whole appetite. Told them it was okay. They insisted on giving me a menu and seeing if I wanted anything else. I say fine- and grab the stuffed mushroom to go. At this point everyone ate and I wasn't going to order and sit there eating by myself. Bill came, the pasta was removed (as it should I didn't eat it), but they charged for the stuffed mushrooms that they constantly asked if I wanted anything else. I wouldn't had got it if it wasn't gonna be comped- especially after a mouth of sand. Don't see myself coming back not after that sand situation, I'm very careful with seafood.
