Lynn ForrestDecember 12, 2017I can only speak about the cocktails. They have a really fun cocktail assortment - 3 pages! I got a bowl of delicious garlic/herb popcorn at the bar, and a very satisfying Autumn Leaves cocktail.Upvote1Downvote
The fire is crackling, old standards are playing, & the warm red decor calls for winter comfort food Try the homemade mozzarella appy & a bolonaise or lasagna.Their EVOO is so delicious (&for sale!).Upvote2Downvote- DustinFebruary 10, 2015On what planet does this place warrant only a 7.5? Chris is an ethanol god, the timpano is legendary, even the bar snacks are something special. The best red sauce joint in the known universe.UpvoteDownvote
Charles UnimanNovember 29, 2014Lovely, warm and friendly bar (In addition to a very good kitchen). Comfortable fireplace. Ask for Chris, the bartender.Upvote1Downvote
Food and service are the best in the area IMO!! Love this place! 2nd year in a row for Christmas eve dinner and it was excellentUpvoteDownvote
mark mcmahonOctober 28, 2013The decor needs some updating to bring it to the 20th century, let alone the 21st, but the food was very good and the service was excellent.UpvoteDownvote
MeganFebruary 1, 2010Go to the lounge at Lombardi's and order a Japanese cocktail or a Pink Lady... they're both fabulous! Fresh-squeezed juices and homemade syrups really make the drink!Upvote1Downvote
aSiandeLiteDecember 4, 2011Probably the only place to get real cocktails in the area (also a Clydz lover).. drinks were fabulous, service friendly but just ok.. We did get a kick out of watching them drop things all the time..UpvoteDownvote
John PetrolinoMay 5, 2012Thursday night they open one bottle of rare liquor and sell it at cost. Best way to try things you would never buy retail.UpvoteDownvote
Very garlic bread is a must. The antipasti was superb and you get to assort it!UpvoteDownvote- Here's the mozzarella -- slightly salty pillows of warm cheese topped with small dollops of pesto.

Food & WineApril 20, 2011Brooklyn-influenced Neapolitan dishes and old-school cocktails like the Bee's Knees are the heart of this restaurant and bar.Upvote1Downvote
Daniel RochaJune 16, 2011Strong beer selection, currently featuring Allagash, Troegs and River Horse, all on tap.Upvote1Downvote- DaddyPaulCrowleyDecember 16, 2011If you want scallops, get them with the pasta. Portions on the scallop entree were small... Food is excellent tho.UpvoteDownvote

HeyAnneNovember 8, 2011I can't believe it-- same comment!! Our bill came to $50 for two-- but it felt like we were just too much trouble for our waiter. He didn't ever know that I am usually a good tipper--UpvoteDownvote
