This place serves amazing italian food! The server was extremely pleasant and the ambience was amazing! Ordered the linguine with asparagus and artichokes and it was great! The cocktails were pretty solid too. Overall, a nice upscale italian place to go with your family, friends or colleagues.

I went here on Valentine’s Day and they were able to get us a table for two right away! We came at around 7:15 pm. They do not take reservations fyi. We got a great seat by the window. Service was super fast and our drinks and food came out quick. The old fashioned and ginger spritz were delicious. You also get bread and olive oil with your meal. I highly recommend the calamari, stracotta of beef short rib with gnocchi, and shrimp linguini. All were 10/10! The beef short rib was tender and so tasty. The linguini had a really yummy lemon flavor with tons of flavor. I highly recommend going here if you’re craving some Italian food in Madison.

Some of the best Italian food we’ve ever had! Everything was so delicious and filling. We chose many different things for the table and evening was delicious! The mushroom truffle pizza, calamari, eggplant dish, and lemon broccoli – all were fabulous! We would definitely go back.

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary at Lombardino’s, it was a very good experience. Very busy, friendly service with good food. We had the short rib gnocchi (tender beef with puffy gnocchi) , parmesan pasta (rich and tasty), brussels with bacon, beet salad and the butterscotch dessert. They were all very good. Reasonably priced. Highly recommended!

Lombardino’s is everything I ask of a restaurant: It is authentic, has beautifully prepared food with fresh ingredients, has an intimate setting with the right patron-to-wait staff ratio, and is memorable.

This place is no joke. The food was delicious. I’ll be honest and say that it did take a bit to get service once we were sat. But one look of discomfort was noticed by the host and he was quick to get us started before the waiter could get over. We loved his awesome hair he said he was thinking of going tiger stripes tomorrow!!! We started with the pizza Lombardino and it is fantastic. Be warned it comes with a ton of greens on top but that flavor combo is crazy good. I got the lamb, goat cheese ravioli. Just yes. All great thing to say just get it!! She order the gnocchi. We have never tried it before and it was good. The sauce was incredible. He ordered the eggplant and it was so delicately put together and once again the flavor pairing was amazing.
