    Beautiful establishment. We went on a quiet Saturday for lunch. 3 selections for each course was quite sufficient. Extensive wine list but we went for the house barbera by the glass which was great value. A delightful tasty offering of local specialties. Will return again for a touch of class.

    They didn’t have burgers - the last burger had been sold 5 minutes before our order. It was Friday 21:00. Risotto- we asked for the new one but well cooked.

    Was expecting this to be exceptional but was a bit disappointed. The food was not to my liking but to be fair, I may have chosen the wrong things. Mynh8sbsnd found his dish very salty. The service at first was very attentive, but as it got busier we were ignored, took ages to get waitors attention to get the bill. Actually he was a bit rude at the end. Nice setting outside in very quiet piazza. Not sure we would rush back if I'm honest.

    I made a reservation for mine and my husbands 10 year anniversary. On arrival, they did not open the door for us straightaway and also looked us up and down. I was wanting the 10 course taster menu but they didn’t ask and sat us down in the bistro area and gave us a restaurant menu. They asked us 3 times what food we wanted which made no sense to us as we were very clear in our choices. The food was presented well and was served in a timely manner. The wine we was served was magnificent and the service was pleasant enough after the initial greet.

    Dear Deborah we are sorry to see this review score. The guys at the beginning of the evening are focused on preparing the dining room, otherwise they would have gladly opened the door as they always do, as you could see the service for us is fundamental and we are always very customer-oriented. Regarding the reservation, unfortunately there was a mistake, as your reservation was for the bistro and not for the restaurant as you thought, we have tried to resolve the misunderstanding as best we could, and we hope you enjoyed the rest of the experience anyway, as you also wrote in the final stage of the review. Please come back soon to try the restaurant instead, which should be booked through the other account and not this one for the bistro. We look forward to seeing you soon!

    I'm disappointed because I was convinced to have booked at Lino's restaurant and instead the reservation was for the bistrot. The reservation page is not clear and misleading.

    First time for me. I went for lunch. Elegant and casual at the same time, set in a classic building in the heart of Pavia. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the menu answering questions clearly and with confidence. . Food was good and presented nicely. Definitely a suitable place for a midday break or evening meal. Not sure if the evening menu is the same as lunch.

    I’ve been surprised by the place in general. Waiters have been super attentive and professional. Food was awesome in its simplicity, all on a relaxed and chill ambiance. Strongly recommended.

    We chose this restaurant because of the great reviews and photos and we were not disappointed! The presentation of the food is spectacular and it tastes heavenly. Really nice and tranquil atmosphere and the waiters didn’t rush us out after we had already paid but stayed a little longer to chat. Affordable wine list and very small but surprising menu. Top night
