However, my husband is a huge nerd and anime happens to be one of his afflictions and there was a mural on the side of a wall that he wanted to take a picture at. After the photo, we noticed some fun Japanese items in the windows of the store by the mural, so we decided to just come on in and take a look. Wow! This shop was fantastic!!! I fell in love with Japanese stuff when I was a child and this place is a wonderland of food and items. I was actually kind of jealous because I haven't even been able to find some of the fun stuff that I wanted to try from social media in Las Vegas (and we have a lot of Japanese stores in Las Vegas). The shelves are lined quite nicely and the person working was pretty nice. Overall, I'd come in quite a bit if I lived in this neighborhood.

We came here for a family dinner to celebrate our grandfather's birthday and honestly, I'm still…read morethinking about it two hours later. 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!

There's a mural on the back wall at Bar Lino on Atwood Avenue in Johnston. Black background, white…read moretype, Italian town names stacked and scattered across the whole thing. Sant'Angelo. 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.

Tony's did not disappoint! This is an old school Italian grocery and deli. The products on the…read moreshelves are thoughtfully curated (I am still thinking of a certain olive oil container). The hot and cold deli counters offer a wide variety of Italian options - everything looked delicious! I opted for a prosciutto, mozzarella, and fresh basil sandwich on focaccia. The saltiness of the prosciutto with the creaminess of the mozzarella was perfectly balanced. And the whole fresh basil leaves just enhanced the flavors. Don't forget to check out the small dessert case by the register! The pistachio cheesecake with ricotta was worth the trip! Again cannot recommend this store enough, you will not be disappointed!

They prepare the food in front of you and have a couple tables so you can eat your food inside. The tongue taco was flavorful and tender, and the chunks were big which I really enjoyed. The quesadilla was good, but the way it was rolled up reminded me a lot of a burrito. I wish I had asked for sour cream because that would've made it so much better. I couldn't decide whether I wanted steak or chicken, so I asked for half and half. Both were very tender, but I did like the steak better. There is plenty of parking. They have a bakery on the left hand side of the building, and a small little grocery store (not produce).
