Lino's Trattoria & Pizzeria

Why change if I like fettuccine de mare which i have when in Santa Fe. this visit, Theresa and I began with appetizer, mussels in spicy tomato sauce, possibly cilantro and red pepper flakes - a flavorful new take from the French who do wine wine, lemon. I recommend the mussels as an entree, maybe add other fish.

We dined last year at Lino's and really enjoyed the atmosphere and the food. So we made a reservation for this year's visit to Santa Fe, for 10 people. Upon arrival we were greeted with a snippy comment that the reservation was for only 6, because that's all the system would allow. She huffed a few times and said they'd have to rearrange the (half full) dining room for us.
Our server, Mike, was also snippy and short with us, frequently interrupting us to let us know that he was entirely too busy for us.
Our food was fine, but the attitudes displayed to us were unfriendly. They were obviously annoyed with our presence. I don't really plan to return there.
And people who can't serve customers courteously shouldn't be working in a restaurant where service is a requirement. Of course the tip was automatically added to our check. But poor service and bad attitudes for a table of 10 don't deserve a tip any more than poor service for a table of 1 or 2.

The food was tasty and hot. The service was mediocre. We had to ask for drink refills. We would probably not go back.

Food and service was very good. Wine and cocktails were superb. Salads and desserts were great. Pizza was tasty but a bit too floppy for me.

Burnt the chicken parm to a crisp. Tried to cover it up with cheese.
Language barrier with staff. They didn't know the menu.
Like eating inside an oven. Uncomfortably hot.
Hard pass. Would not recommend.

Thus is by far the best Italian place I have been too. You should come here when you can

Didn’t care for this spot, the food was janky and the owner was rude.

Always a pleasure to dine at Lino's! We have been there several times and keep going back.

This is a pizza take out review only. First experience was terrible and so was the second. I’ll trust most of the favorable in-house dining reviews of the food and try it at some point, but I’ll never do pizza take out again. Soggy and floppy and nothing to brag about. Overpriced for the quality. I ordered 4 pizzas —one with vegan cheese— which should have been identified. Despite the soggy pizza, I encourage folks to patronize this business and all the others affected by the extended, disruptive road construction.

Great gluten free pizza, wonderful cocktails, loved the music, and the service was exceptional! Don't let the construction keep you away - this is a great restaurant!

I returned recently and had a fairly similar experience. I believe one pizza was much better than the other. It was as if two people made them. And yes, undercooked. Excellent, professional server.
(Older review)Nice, fast service. Ok pizza. I ordered the arugula pie but I felt it was undercooked. Not raw, just not crispy or able to hold toppings. The gelato display needs lights and labels. They have comedy night on Wednesday. There was a live musician tonight.

Food was very good. Wish there was more selections on wine by the glass but their house wine was fine.

Ordered focaccia bruschetta (AMAZING - crust perfect), tomato basil soup (obviously freshly homemade and yummy), Caesar salad (zingy dressing and crisp lettuce), lasagna (out of this world and among the best I’ve ever had - sausage flavorful, pasta tender and bites melt in your mouth), and cheesecake. Highly recommend. Reasonably priced and a delightful ambiance to boot.

The pistachio bruschetta was very good. Our server was very helpful- attentive without constantly disrupting our meal!
