Went in for spagetti, vegans and were not told they didn't have red sauce till it was time for the entree. Really? Not going back. And charged us for the appetizer. This could have been fixed at the order. Won't be back.

Drove from Corning and Reno for a great meal. Seated directly next to bathroom, next to service station, with servers going in and out. We sat next to eachother for a more comfortable dinner. Server acknowledged after a few minutes, didn’t bother asking for a drink order for longer than a usual wait. Ordered calamari *great, followed with an order of brussel sprouts. They were under and tasted as if sautéed on a burnt pan. After a longer than usual wait server FINALLY acknowledged us and took an order. I ordered a dessert to begin and filet to follow. Server treated me as if it was the oddest thing to order a dessert before the meal. We did not receive a salad for a longer than usual wait. We had to ask for bread *cold. We received our entrees. My filet was resting on my mashed potatoes. Potatoes covered in blood, looked like pink mashers. Waited again for server who barely touched our table. He took the plate away didn’t apologize, barely acknowledged I was a human being. A woman came to the table asking what was wrong with my steak. I told her the truth, steak was over, tough and I also mentioned service was lacking. We paid for entire meal, the filet barely touched, scampi barely touched and left 20%. We will not be back. We did not feel as if we were welcome or even valued as customers.

I had the pleasure of dining at Karline's Restaurant & Bar on Saturday evening, and it was an unforgettable experience! It was our first time visiting, and we were warmly greeted and seated promptly upon arrival. Our server was exceptional - attentive, polite, and knowledgeable. He truly made our dining experience stand out.
The food was, without a doubt, the highlight of our evening. We started with the meatballs as an appetizer, and oh, the sauce was sublime! For our main courses, we opted for the Pesto Salmon in garlic herb linguine and the Pan Seared Bistro Filet. Both dishes were cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor.
To cap off the meal, I indulged in the crème brûlée for dessert, Amazing!. Overall, we were thoroughly impressed with the quality of the food, service, and ambiance at Karline's. We will most certainly be back and highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. Thank you for a wonderful dinner!

For $130 you get amazing bruschetta, terrible drinks for two, the most sour and soggy shrimp scampi, the most sour tiramisu (actually thought it was rotten, but my date assured me it was a preservative), a wonderful server, and romantic atmosphere. The server and atmosphere are top notch, but the food and drinks were garbage for the price we paid. I could not finish my meal.

New favorite date night spot! I had the shrimp scampi and it exceeded expectations! We will be back for sure! The only thing that wasn’t incredible was my tiramisu for dessert- it did taste a tad bit stale/old/not fresh, but it was still pretty good. Overall I still give it 5/5! Most places I leave feeling heavy or my stomach feels irritated after, but here I left feeling exactly how I’d hope to feel after a good meal made with care & high quality ingredients!

Really great place. I had the beef stroganoff. Services is great. Great food is excellent.
Ambiance is Great if you like a very noisy and chaotic atmosphere. Service is very slow. Our waitress blames the kitchen staff for our crappy service-shameful!! Food quality sucks! Even the Caesar salad dressing was crap…tasted like oil and mayonnaise ?… but little did we know that the rest of the food would taste just like the salad dressing, no flavor. The prime rib that they had on special I ordered it medium rare on the rare side came to the table cut like it was a skinny pie wedge mashed down on the plate to the point you could not even see the potatoes or the asparagus underneath the piece of meat because there was really very little food on the plate and the meat was way overcooked with no seasoning on it !!??. Buyer beware the pictures they have on their website look nothing like what they put in front of you while you’re rolling out $45-$50 per plate. It is a total waste of your time unless you’re there just for booze. The owner should be ashamed. I put my way through college waiting tables in Southern California in French restaurants. Unfortunately, I’m not the kind of person or I’m just too old to take pictures of my food to me. That’s rude.

I used to go once a month and I always got the same thing. Beef stroganoff, because it's the only place around that makes it. I grew up on that because my stepfather would make it from scratch and it was delicious. This time I was a bit disappointed because it didn't have nearly as many chunks of beef as any time before. I got the Caesar salad as the side dish, and it was just okay nothing great.
Parking: Plenty of parking most times, but when it's really busy, you missed have to walk a short distance

Great service. Minestrone soup was really bland, probably microwaved. The shrimp in my shrimp scampi was fine but the noodles and sauce tasted like lemon soap, really strong and offputting initial taste. Highlight was the bread.
Kid-friendliness: Bring lots of kids they're very accommodating.

Another delicious dinner at Karline’s. This is hands down the best Italian restaurant in Redding! The atmosphere is intimate and the food is amazing. Our server Mike was wonderful, and very attentive. Highly recommend the Steamed Clams!!

Service was outstanding, and the food was good. I had the steamed clam entree and really enjoyed it. It was a bit loud, but good spots usually are. Bon appetit
