Fantastic dinner. The steak in the pasta as well as the lamb were both beautifully tender. Our server Manuo was funny and charming. Live music further added to the ambiance. Highly recommend.

OMG, likely the best meal we've EVER had! The food is out of this ?! Victor, Alaina, and the rest of the staff truly delivers an experience. The chef owner magically created every dish with a ?, and he confidentially dealt with my soy allergy. I wish we could stay another night just to go again for dinner!!

We started off with appetizers. I had the calamari with a spicy roumalade sauce and my wife had the sea scallops with mushrooms we had a bottle of red wine Chanti and for our main course my wife had salmon in a lemon sauce with green beans and mashed potatoes. I had the fillet mignon with mushrooms, green beans, and mashed potatoes with a great flavor of demiglaze sauce we ended dinner with dessert. We shared a butter cake with caramel sauce and gelato our server mauno was very helpful and accommodating, making some great suggestions would definitely come back again and again

We have gone to Alina’s at least twice a year for over eight years. Every time we go the food is outstanding, the atmosphere is elegant and they often have live piano. We have gone for the multi course meals on Wednesdays and Tuesdays as well. We usually go for birthday parties. We went during Covid and ate outside. I recommend the fried cheese with lemon butter it’s our favorite appetizer. We have watched Alina grow up and become a server she is always outstanding along with the rest of the wait staff. The owner is very present and checks on guests every night. This is one of the best Italian restaurants in the region, we have never had a bad or bland experience. Tonight I got the special sea bass which was a strange combination but very good. My wife loves the Alina’s linguine and our party got salmon the special steak and a variety of desserts. The restaurant is a good option for kids if you have occupy their attention for while as this level of quality food takes a while to prepare. We will keep coming here for as long as it remains open.

Amazing place
Dietary restrictions: Good with dietary restrictions. Many gluten free items on the menu!
Emmanuelle was our server tonight for a party of 9. He was so personable, attentive, funny, and made the sweetest connection with our kids, but especially our 8 year old son. The food from appetizers, to main course, to deserts was phenomenal. I hope they make the steak with gorgonzola and peach special a permanent fixture on the menu! The cocktails were well done, with many options for spirits and perfectly crafted drinks by the bar staff, you can't help but enjoy the before, with, and after dinner drinks. I can't recommend Alina's enough, we drive 90 minutes to enjoy their food and atmosphere! You won't find many places in New England that offer live piano music while you enjoy one of the best meals out you could hope for. 5 stars doesn't seem enough, Alina's is top notch.

My experience, i wanted it to be great, maybe bad luck. Warm pasta with room temp chicken that tasted like it was refrigerated and slightly rewarmed, very dry. Bread that was brought to table was dry, most likely rewarmed, almost inedible. Like rubber, and can break a tooth. When bringing that to the waiters attention, his response was they were the last 3 pieces they had. Steak was great, veggies were fresh, but potatoes on the same plate cold. Clearly were precooked, and chef couldn't even rewarm them correctly. Place looks great, atmosphere excellent, unfortunately food didn't match.

Our first time here was planned for couple's night ($85 for a small appetizer to share, two small salads, two entrees, a dessert, and a bottle of wine to share). They have a spectacular musician who plays the piano and trumpet SIMULTANEOUSLY! The vibe is right; it's very dark and moody. Quite romantic, with options that make us guaranteed to be coming back for more!
