We came in and got seated instantly. The waiter (MICHEAL) came and introduced himself and got started on the drinks. He told is that the pizzas were really good. And that the cheese came from the Amish nearby. We got a pizza, my wife got lasagna and I got a baked cod. The pizza was better than he said and my added it has the perfect crust crunch. The cod was absolutely delicious and my wife enjoyed the lasagna… definitely an amazing place to try. It’s one my wife and I will be returning to.

I’m more excited to write this 5-star review than any other I’ve done! Lino’s has been a Rockford favorite for over 50 years — I know because I worked there 53 years ago when I was 14, The family that owns Lino’s is absolutely wonderful.
They recently catered my grandson’s wedding rehearsal dinner, and the food was amazing — everyone loved it! I can also vouch for dining at Lino’s over the years; the food, service, and atmosphere have always been top-notch. We’ve had nothing but great experiences there.

Chloe was an awesome server, very attentive. Food was terrific such a great value. I had the chicken saltimbuco which came with a salad and ice cream.
The jazz band that was playing when I was there, was terrific.

Ohhhhhh Lino’s.
Five stars? I give you six if I could. Maybe seven. I start making up stars just for them.
From the moment we walk in, I say to myself, “This… this is amore.” The smell of the pizza floats through the air like it owns the place. You don’t even need the menu. You just close your eyes and say, “Lino, my friend. Feed me.”
We order the pizza. The crust? Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, like it grew up with good manners. The sauce? Sweet, tangy, perfectly balanced. Not too much, not too little. Just right. The cheese? It stretches like it is trying to escape the plate and hug you.
And then… the salad… Now listen. They put Italian sausage in the salad. Yes. Sausage. In. The. Salad. At first I look at it and I say, “Lino… what are we doing here?” I am suspicious. I am concerned. I am slightly confused.
But then I take one bite. Mamma Mia. It is their specialty, and now I understand why. The sausage is savory and warm, the greens are fresh and crisp, the dressing ties it all together like a beautiful Italian wedding. It sounds wild. It feels questionable. It tastes like absolute perfection. I would write an apology letter to that salad for ever doubting it.
Everything was excellent. Very tasty. So tasty I briefly considered clapping after each bite.
If you love pizza. If you love bold moves that actually pay off. If you love leaving a restaurant slightly happier than when you walked in, you go to Lino’s.
Five stars. Bellissimo.

Wonderfully crafted cocktails! I love how their drink menu changes with the seasons. Most recently I got to try the Blackberry Lemon Drop and it was delicious! I also got the BBQ chicken wing appetizer as an entree. The wings are the best wings around! Very tender with a flavorful and sugary BBQ sauce, they are perfection. Also I love getting the baked cod, pizza, and special salad on other occasions. Very nice staff and great atmosphere inside as well.

The food was good the server was good she was really nice the wait time was a little longer than what they told us which was 20 minutes and ended up being close to 40 minutes. I also requested a booth but when they went to seat us they gave us a table and I wasn’t about to wait another 40 minutes. But overall the food came quickly and the server was on top of things.

Linos has become my home away from home. Since I moved to Rockford, Charlie and the entire Lino’s team have welcomed me with open arms. Not to mention the food is ALWAYS fresh and delicious. Highly recommend the Fettucine Vodka. Jessica is an expert when it comes to wine, Destiny is a wonderful bartender, and Charlie knows exactly what he’s doing when it comes with the direction of the business. 10/10

Loved the decor, the service by Megan was too notch*. We had pizza, and it was really good.
* As a diabetic, I ordered the ‘sugar free” ice cream for dessert. First issue, looked . like it came from a school cafeteria in a little 4 oz cup. Then I was taken back when Megan asked if I wanted a spoon with it. The ice cream was good but I wasn’t sure if was sugar free and @ $4.25 for 4 oz, hmmmm. Upon testing my sugar level, I pretty much confirmed it, my level was 25 points higher than normal. In closing, I intend to go back for the food, but not the over priced ice cream.

Now my most favorite Italian food place EVER.
Not only did I get wonderful service, the food was delicious enough to make me want to tell others.
I got the Bianca Medium pizza which has Alfredo sauce, mushrooms and plenty of cheese. The taste was garlicky and got me thinking a lot about it on the way home.
The gnocchi was tasty with the perfect texture. Bread looked like it came out of a picture. Spumoni was a pleasant surprise. The salad was dressed well.
I have got to come back, even though I’m not from the area.

Decent experience…server was very kind & polite, but was forgetful.
Bianca pizza was great, Veal was dry and the chicken alla Francia was dry. Wings with spicy BBQ came out as buffalo sauce…the sharing bowl of salad was great as was the Gelato
