Small, intimate but lively atmosphere. The drinks, especially the Espresso Martini Affogato, were unique and flavorful. The food was fresh and delicious. Will be back!

Good prices, good food, good service, and good atmosphere! I had a very good 1st time experience and would return! They bring bread and olive oil salt & pepper & ️ to your table, ice water. Place was clean, positive energy vibes throughout. I had the macaroni and meatball special. It comes with 1 homemade meatball, 1/2 sausage link, a slice of eggplant, served with cheese and a fresh basil leaf. They forgot the Narragansett Ricotta but I reminded them because I really wanted to try it and lemme tell you it was delicious and I’m so glad I asked for it. This meal came with a salad which was fresh and refreshing, with a homemade vinaigrette, and a scoop of vanilla bean gelato at the end which was yummy-est! Looking forward to trying brunch or something else off the lunch menu on my next visit.

I went to this Italian restaurant for dinner, and everything from start to finish was perfect. The food was authentic and flavorful — you could really taste the freshness in every bite, especially the pasta and sauce.
Our server, Emily, made the night even better. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. She gave great recommendations and checked in often without ever being intrusive. You can tell she genuinely cares about her guests’ experience.
The atmosphere was warm and cozy, and the service was just as impressive as the food. I’ll definitely be coming back soon and I’ll be asking for Emily again!

Nice new spot in Johnston where Brewed Awakening was. The first time we went was for cocktails. My friends had a couple of salads, thst were tasty. The basil Gimlet was an amazing cocktail, as well as the spicy marg! Decided to go back for dinner, and they didnt disappoint. The mussell’s appetizer and risotto balls were delicious, and a must try. They also have amazing bread. Sunday Gravy and Carbonara were very good. The service was great both times. Our waiters were attentive, prompt, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. Or waiter split the meals we shared for us and we didnt even ask. They had live music on a Thursday and said DJ plays on Fridays. It’s definitely a place to check out. Plenty of parking.

On my short trip to RI, we ended up at Bar Lino twice! We loved our experience, and our waitress Emily truly made our visits special.
ESPRESSO MARTINI MONDAYs… you can’t go wrong! Half priced! Loved the Sea Salt Caramel with coconut rim.
The calamari is delicious! The gnocchi and braised beef (over risotto, special request) is phenomenal. My favorite dish is the margarita pizza special with burrata, prosciutto, and arugula. Make this a regular item!
I feel like the prices are reasonable, and portions were generous.
Can’t wait to come back. Thanks again, Emily!!

Convenient location right off the highway, very nice looking inside, amazing/attentive service from our server (he was even offering to get us more water after we paid & were hanging out talking), food amazing & authentic tasting. The gnocchi was homemade and served in a very hot skillet. You can get pasta as a side option in addition to the usual fries/salad sides (any shape pasta & any sauce!) which I loved. We got three of the pizza flavors & all were delicious & cooked perfectly! Also has a parking lot! We live close so this is very exciting. We’ll be back many many times!

Great “appy hour” experience! Recently, my friend and I visited Bar’Lino for the first time because of their weeknight appetizer special and everything we ordered was great – the meatballs, calamari and arancini balls were all tasty and very filling for two but the real star of the show was the cocktail we both got, the watermelon fresca! That drink was so light and refreshing, but so delicious! One of the best cocktails I’ve had in awhile.

Got the short rib plate with balsamic and polenta and my wife got a pasta plate with pink sauce with added crispy chicken. My meal was 10/10 hers was also very good, but the chicken seemed like to was previously cooked. We also had some drinks which were fantastic, and the cannolis are a must. Service was very good but not very attentive. Would come again, and would highly recommend.

We tried to make a 6:00 reservation. They told us we could not be seated until 6:30. We said that’s fine. We showed up at 6:25 and were told we have to wait. We waited until 6:45 and then left. If you can’t keep a reservation the DON”T take it. The young girls at the front desk looked clueless. I watched a table of 4 walk in and be seated right away. We will never go back and I recommend no one does. TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE. I hope they close
