Delicious food and great atmosphere! Both pizzas and pasta are yummy. Pizzas are personal size, but could be shared between 2 people especially with appetizers. Be prepared for a wait even on weeknights, but you can sit at the bar or have them call you once your table is ready. The wait is worth it!
We had a really great time here at Lombardino's restaurant! Excellent food and ambiance. Our server was a pleasant young man. He was very helpful. We definitely recommend this place to anyone who enjoys real Italian cuisine. We will go back again!
As close as it gets to real italian food. Pizza was outstanding. The dates and meatballs were simply amazing. Everyone so friendly and welcoming too!
45mins wait on a normal Thursday evening (arrived around 5:30) Great great food! The starter bread was warm and the olive oil had a nice nutty and peppery aftertaste. We got the beef short rib which was very soft and the polenta which was served together was delicious as well. The tagliatelle with truffled mushroom was also great. Strongly recommend trying out their tiramisu!!!
The food here is amazing. Local ingredients expertly prepared into modern Italian classics. Prepare to wait at a crowded bar with too few bartenders to provide attentive service. But the wait is worth it for the food. I don’t even like Italian food that much! The mushroom ragu was amazing. The kitchy atmosphere is fun. The service at tables is excellent.

Authentic Italian flavors with a modern twist, served in a warm, kitchy atmosphere.
