A nice dinner tonight at TR Ginger - our server was very nice, attentive and helpful! It's a cute more casual version of Trattoria. Food is always delicious. Bread is phenomenal- always! read more

I go here for lunch fairly regularly, always enjoy. Coal fire wings are great, chicken parm sandwich never disappoints. A little more on the expensive side, but thats life these days. If I was going for a full dinner I would go next door to the main restaurant but for a sandwich and maybe a glass of wine? You can do a lot worse. read more

Era nella media, niente di speciale. Hadn't been in a while; waited over 1/2 hour for Chicken Francese- too lemony and pasta cool; the Francese could have been prepared better. Could've been better on a Monday night. read more

We had a great dinner at TR Ginger! I took my friend's advice and tried out the pumpkin ravioli appetizer as my meal and it was delicious. My dinner mates both went with chicken parm with pink vodka sauce. It definitely seems the way to go since I thought it was quite tasty. The desserts all looked very tempting, but we were so full we didn't go for any. Our waitress was very friendly and didn't try to rush us along at all. Will definitely head back in soon! read more

I really wanted to give them more stars, but the music was blaring above us, and we asked the waitress to have it turned down. She said she would, but it wasn't done. The wait staff should fulfill the customers' wishes in terms of the environment. In addition, the wait staff decided to congregate adjacent to our table to hang around and talk. Aside from that, the food is reasonably good although more expensive than I think it should have been. read more

Everything is delicious, you can't go wrong. I love the eggplant appetizer and the pasta dishes are full of interesting flavors.

The first time we went here for takeout, the hostess was a feisty Italian grandma who put my husband to work reaching things on top shelves! It was hilarious. We've only gotten sandwiches from here but have never been disappointed. Portions are large and sandwiches have great flavor. We love the roast beef sandwich with au jus and fries. Consistently good and consistently hot (which is important for this pregnant lady). The desserts always look delicious but extremely pricey, so we haven't tried those yet. We have only done takeout but the place is very cute. I was surprised they get such a big weekday lunch crowd (lots of older folks). read more

when they first opened the food was very good but the last two times I ate there it was terrible. I ordered a lobster roll and said, "Light on the mayo", well it came out with no mayo and was extremely dry. the next time I got a pastrami sandwich and it was so overcooked and dry. Absolutely horrible. All of Luciano's restaurants are generally very good. I never write reviews but I had to let him know what's going on. read more

Nice outdoor seating. Ive had better Italian food and very overpriced. Service lacks alot.

I have been to the main formal restaurant quite a few time and was pleased, so I thought the same might be true for TR Ginger. I met a friend for lunch and we sat outside on a beautiful day. The service was wonderful and the food came out promptly. However I was shocked at the portion! It was a very small chicken salad sandwich for $14 + --and that was it. When asked earlier if I wanted fries or chips with the sandwich, I replied chips. What came out was a small deli size bag of Cape Cod chips --not restaurant prepared--and which I was charged an extra $1.50. Very disappointed. This is touted as an upscale eatery when in fact I could have purchased better food and value down the street at Panera. read more

We had a bit of a wait, reservation for 7 and sat just after 35 minutes later. Service was excellent and friendly, food came out hot and extremely tasty. Husband had the bolognese which was out of this world good. My chicken Francese was excellent also. Great spot, we will be back! read more

Although the food was very good the prices were outrageously high. Service was not good. Served the wrong beer. Waitress just said "no" when asked if she could tell us which oysters were which. One oyster was bad yet we were still charged for what was sent back. Main dishes were served while we were still eating what oysters were good. They didn't have the wine my husband ordered and didn't serve his second choice until we were well into our entrées. The final cost was very expensive--there were four of us. Doubtful my husband and will be going back. read more

We have dined many times at Trattoria Romana in Lincoln and decided to try its next door bistroGinger. It is a cozy venue with all of the delicatessen foods displayed along with a delicious array of desserts. We began with a wonderfully tasty arugula pear salad with blue cheese, and nuts. The scrumptious bread was plentiful and was enjoyed throughout the meal. Our entree was chicken topped with eggplant parmigiana and served with gnocchi, which was an error as we ordered orecchiette. I am a gnocchi fan, but hubby is not. Our server kindly offered to bring the orecchiette but we did not accept the offer. The chicken eggplant dish was very nicely prepared. For dessert, hubby loved the delectable coconut cake, and I consumed half of the very rich Amazon chocolate cake. A big shock and disappointment is that this restaurant does not offer herbal tea and since I don't drink any other hot beverage, it did not make my dessert as enjoyable as it would have been. read more

Our first visit found a clean and stylish place with a big deli selection. We ordered from the limited wine by the glass list and ordered some bruchetta and a plate of calamari. The calamari was dry and tasteless, overcooked, tiny pieces, as if it was the bottom of a frozen batch. The waitress overcharged one of us for a glass of wine, explaining it was a mistake. We will not be back. read more

Went here for a pre-movie snack. The place is directly next to Trattoria Romana proper and shares a space with Trattoria Express. You'll be entering through the Trat Express door. Inside is a little weird. There's a mixture of soft yellow lighting that lets you know that you're in Trattoria Express and then an abrupt change in the flooring and lighting to signify TR Ginger (I guess?). I understand that it's supposed to be a more casual version of Trattoria Romana but the whole atmosphere was a little uninviting. It was also really cold in there (literally and figuratively). It's a little contrary to being a warm casual eating space. Once we got in, we kind of wandered around for a little bit before just sitting down. There was no hostess or waitress to instruct you on what to do. It's kind of vague since you can place orders at the counter, sit at the unattended bar, or maybe just sit down. Once we sat down we were eventually tended to by a waitress. She handed us a (mostly) identical menu to Trattoria Romana and a wine list. All of the wines are overpriced for their quality, but that's something I've come to expect from the Trattoria family of restaurants. Four glasses of decent wine were about 50 dollars. On to the food, here's what we ordered: Roasted eggplant Bruschetta: Was a cold, slab of roasted eggplant drenched in white balsamic. There might have been a little pepper there. Tasted like a slimy vinegar sponge. It was also on soggy toasts. Normally I eat make some kind of effort to eat food that I order, but I just couldn't even. Yikes. Cheese plate: At TR Ginger you can order a cheese board. You need to pay 6 dollars for a board containing some honey, fig preserves, and two 0.25" pieces of crostini. Felt like the 6 dollar charge for a board containing such a meager amount of food was a little excessive. The meats/cheeses are then ordered a la carte at prices ranging from 4-8 dollars each. We ordered the buffalo mozzarella, gorgonzola dolce, and the taleggio. The cheeses were good, but refrigerator temperature so we had to wait a bit before we could actually eat them. Overall: (-) Atmosphere is terrible for actually hanging out. (-) Overcharging for wine and boards sans cheese (-) Cold cheese (-) Eggplant monstrosity (+) The waitress was nice, although I was a bit surprised they didn't comp the bruschetta. It's a shame because I like the pizza place. read more

Came here for lunch and wish now I didn't. Just don't feel it's worth the money for what I received. Kinda not geared for the healthy one or one looking to watch what they eat. Service was OK not the worst but not the best as well. My sandwich was OK. Kinda tasteless didn't come how I asked for it. Had to take a vegetarian sandwich and add chicken to it and asked for a balsamic oil mixture on it. Upon getting it chicken wasn't added. Then when redone now we forget to put the balsamic smh. It would have been better if served on a painini bread. After all this for the 14.95 I was charged was so well not worth it. Don't think I will ever be back here. read more

We went there last night for my birthday. The outside areas are decorated so beautifully! Walking in you feel like you just stepped into a little cafe/bistro in Italy. I loved everything in there! You can tell someone put in a lot of time and effort into this place. The food was delicious - we had the meatball appetizer along with a burrata caprese salad and a charcuterie board which looked and tasted amazing! All of our meals were great as well! The bolognese and veal parm were delicious! Also the staff was so friendly! We had Hannah as our Server and she did a great job! The Manager even stopped by to check in and told us where the name 'TR Ginger' came from. We will definitely be back! read more

AWESOME FOOD ONE OF MY Favorite restaurants in Rhode Island food food tastefully prepared very fresh and Chelsea the waitress is above and beyond all my expectations she is awesome read more

On a snowy Valentine's Eve, we picked up some dessert and somehow they forgot a piece of cake that we purchased, we were a bit disappointed but not end of the world at all. We called and some person tried to interrogate is quite a bit about it. So we dropped it. We were there Friday night with friends and after dinner we told the bar server about the missing dessert, she struggled a bit to resolve it, we told not to worry about it. We then noticed that she did not charge us for the dessert we ordered, which really was nice and resolved the issue. Well done. We are there weekly. Thank you. read more

Danger just got corn hold Made take out order on phone. And was on there web site. But the bill was over charged. And there excuse was the web site was wrong. We ordered what was there. And then they made it all extra charges for what was on menu. On top of that my chicken egg plant Parmasno was burnt. Stay away unless you take a lawyer to Decipher between website and true prices. read more

We ordered Thanksgiving dinner from here. It was hot, delicious. Everything for a turkey dinner any one could want. We also got an apple pie, which was amazing. We were alone this year an this hit the spot. Everyone there was wishing me a Happy Thanksgiving. It was an awesome an awesome environment. We had a wonderful experience an will be back. read more

The food here is good. The place is almost always busy. My problem with this place is that for the second time in a row, I was shorted food when I ordered takeout. The first time I had to call back and was interrogated in order to get a refund on what was not in my bag. Today, I stopped by to get another takeout order for my wife and I. When I got to my vehicle, I was once again shorted 2 items and 1 item was wrong. WHAT IS WRONG HERE?? I went back in and they corrected the situation. Twice in a row, shorted and a wrong item. Since I like the food here, I will go back 1 more time. If my order is wrong again, I will be back to rewrite my review. Now I am wondering if I was charged the correct amounts since I didn't ask for the itemized receipt. That's my fault but it won't happen again. Since the same girl made the same mistakes twice, I will be paying close attention to every detail when I go. One more mistake and I will be done here. read more

Have been several times. Early on the food was quite good. My last take out order made me sick. I cannot say for sure if it was the food or not but I will not go back again. My main complaint is the last 3 times that I ordered takeout, all 3 times I was either shorted food or wrong items were in the take out bag. My last take out was their last mistake. And mine with TR Ginger. read more

Ginger is a fabulous choice for casual dining that serves excellent food and delivers great service. The staff is attentive and earnest to provide a pleasant experience. The raw bar, cheese and meat boards are exceptional. read more

TR Ginger is an amazing European style spot, something between an Italian deli, seafood raw bar, and an intimate Roman restaurant. Do not miss the homemade pinchi pasta, imported directly from a restaurant in Rome that inspired the owner. A great wine list, fresh salads, hearty pastas, exquisite cheese and salami boards. read more

Had a disappointing experience at TR Ginger. Staff was unprofessional...bar tender even forgot to give us silverware when apps arrived. Meatball appetizer was full of fatty chunks. Too bad as I like the other restaurants from Luciano....obviously he is not overseeing this operation. read more
