Absolutely delicious! We go at least once a week and have never been disappointed. Service is amazing, atmosphere is fantastic! Try the pizza too, sooo good, we tried the prosciutto and pear pizza and WOW! This will be a once a week place to eat!

Delicious pasta, great service and a menu with just enough options where everyone can find something delicious to try. Portions were more than enough and had some left over! Definitely worth the try if you are in town

I recently dined at Lina Linguini's and had an exceptional experience from start to finish. The service was outstanding—prompt, friendly, and attentive without being intrusive. The staff made sure every aspect of our meal was perfect, enhancing our dining experience significantly. I highly recommend trying the spicy gnocchi dish. It was an absolute delight, with just the right amount of heat and perfectly cooked gnocchi that melted in my mouth. The flavors were well-balanced and left me craving more. Lina Linguini's truly knows how to create a memorable meal.

This is an honest review. I rarely give one/two stars. Loved the decor, ambience and the service. However, the food did not live up to our expectations. We are italian, and this review may be more critical than others. Many dishes offered are made with tomatoe sauce…. and the sauce here needs A LOT of improvement. To our Italian family, it was inedible. I ordered the Black Truffel Sachetti Pasta and it was good (was not made with tomatoe sauce). The others in our group all ordered tomatoe sauce based dishes - veal parmigiana, linguine, gnocchi - and most of the food was not eaten. The salads were good (Caesar and Lina’s house salad). Lastly… the pizza, we ordered the Capricciosa. Firstly, capricciosa pizza is not made the way this place makes it. That aside, it wasn’t good. We did order 3 espressos and they were delish. I can’t give this place more than a one star. The service and people were wonderful, as was the decor.

Was visiting the area and wanted to try a local spot. The place was very busy on Wed afternoon which is always a good sign. The veal parmigiana was one of the best I’ve had. It had flat bread which wasn’t traditional but worked really well. House salad dressing isn’t the usual Italian. It had more of a fruity taste which I prefer. It’s not for everyone though. My colleagues had chicken Caesar salad. It was fresh and chicken was tender. I only wish I didn’t order sangria. There was an odd taste in there that I couldn’t figure out what. Overall a great place to enjoy lunch or dinner. There was a funny touch in the washroom: instead of music they played Italian language lessons that included common food items and restaurant lingo. I guess you can learn a few things before visiting Italy lol…

I had another idea about the restaurant. It didn’t meet my expectations. The salad was ok but the pasta was not great. It hasn’t a sauce, not creamy. I ordered 1 kids pasta with pesto, but it came like ail oil sparkled with basil. My daughter who loves pasta and pesto didn’t like it. I order for myself the gnocchi with mushrooms, chicken, pesto and nuts, I couldn’t eat it, dried, no sauce at all. I brought home and made a great sauce to eat. I ordered strawberry lemonade and received a pink lemonade, clearly made with artificial ingredient and not with strawberry. 3 stars because my husband liked his pasta, but he said nothing extraordinary.

Went for a birthday dinner. We were attracted to the atmosphere and weren't disappointed. Beautiful decor throughout the small little restaurant. We arrived in the middle of dinner rush on a Saturday and had no trouble being seated. The spicy calamari is just regular calamari with Frank's Red hot poured all over it making it only one of two disappointments. The other was the fact the linguine arribatta didn't mention a cheese topping as all the other menu items did which led to having cheese on mine. Everything else was great and enjoyable.

My initial review of this place was a 5 star review. Since then, we have come back three different times and am dropping my review based on our experience. The staff were awesome. The washrooms were clean too. The dishes were average with what seems to be pre-bagged and made caesar salad. We had a big root in one of them which took up quite a bit of space on the plate. I informed our server but nothing was done about it. The pasta's are decent but seem to have lost their edge. The pizza was good, but we had one of ours be very salty and not edible.
