I’ve been coming here for a quite some time. Over all food is good. Just wish that the pastas are cooked to al dente. They have a large menu and many seasonal specials. They can be very busy and the don’t take reservations for less than 6 people.

We've been to Fino's several times now and it is always a consistent restaurant. The wait staff is phenomenal. The atmosphere is just dark enough for the dinner hour/date night but bright enough that you can still see. They keep everything very clean, including the bathrooms. The food is always consistent. I got the linguini and white clam sauce and my partner got the dill salmon special. Both were great. For dessert I got a hot chocolate (I think it was swiss miss) and their Napoleon cake. I didn't think the cake was anything special but I'm never a fan of their desserts really, other than the tartufo and cannoli. Although most of their desserts are cheesecakes which I don't enjoy to begin with so I don't think it's them. Is it the best Italian food I've ever had, no, but it is consistently good and the service is impeccable. (Also, just to note, if it's cold outside and you're sitting at the front tables, you will feel it every time the door opens)

Always consistently good with excellent, professional service. They work like a finely tuned machine and while they sometimes miss on meals, look an overly oily carbonara or cold polenta, I'd say 95% of the time they are great which is saying something as we have been back dozens of times over the years. Oh and their deserts... Yum!

Food was good and service was very attentive but I was here for a retirement dinner with a large group. I felt bad for the rest of the people who were not there for our event as we were quite noisy and there is no separate party room that kept us away from them. Would recommend for a quiet dinner when there is no other party going on. Would not recommend for a retirement dinner

Food is always delicious and staff is very friendly and helpful! I love coming here for a date night with my husband. I also just recently had my baby shower here and they did an amazing job! They were able to accommodate a lot of food restrictions as well.

Had never been to Fino before but know of it being a popular lunch place. Decided to try for dinner on a weekend with a few girlfriends. It was not overly busy for a weekend which was good and we were told we did not need to make reservations nor could they make them for under 6 people. Parking was pretty easy because you can park by the train station lot in the evening or the road up behind. Upon entering the first thing I noticed was how dark it seemed. It actually was so dark my friends and I had a hard time reading the menu and had to use the lights on our phone. I guess they're trying to set a vibe but they could've gone up a little in terms of the brightness there are decent amount of tables. This isn't a tiny place and the tables were not on top of each other which was nice. Our waiter was just ok. He didn't go through any of the specials although they were listed out on a separate sheet inside of the menu, but there were certain items that said "waiter will discuss" which he never did so I inquired. Also, he didn't bring us any wine glasses when we had three bottles that we brought, and didn't once refill our waters unless we asked. We ordered a few of the specials which included the almond crusted snapper, branzino in a lemon caper sauce, and then the seafood pasta. We enjoyed our dinners. The desserts however were the highlight. Once we were done, they brought a tray to the table so we could visually see everything. A lot of restaurants don't do this anymore but I think it helps to really see and get those tastebuds going. My group and I did feel the prices were hefty so when thinking of comparable restaurants in the area with the same style menu, they were above average in price. Overall 3.5

Fine dining. Great staff. Good prices.

They are thieves. Our table was charged $9 for beverages. When we questioned it they said it was for the dessert but was written in the wrong line on the check. We didn’t order drinks or dessert. The table next to us heard us and said they did the same thing to them. They also charged me $3 more for my meal than what was listed in the menu. Rip off.
