Lombardino's Restaurant is a friendly neighborhood restaurant that exudes the charm and romance of Old Italy. Established in 1954 and managed by attentive and welcoming staff, the eatery boasts tables for two beneath small balconies, Roman columns, and dark green bubbled-glass lanterns that give off soft light to create a romantic ambiance. Diners can enjoy a culinary journey to Italy with a seasonal menu of classic dishes like fried calamari with a marinara sauce, local pork loin chops, and wood-grilled whole branzino. An exclusive wine list features wines from Italy, along with craft beers, and signature cocktails. Lombardino's is open for dinner only, seven nights a week.
