  • Wonderfully crafted cocktails! I love how their drink menu changes with the seasons. Most recently I got to try the Blackberry Lemon Drop and it was delicious! I also got the BBQ chicken wing appetizer as an entree. The wings are the best wings around! Very tender with a flavorful and sugary BBQ sauce, they are perfection. Also I love getting the baked cod, pizza, and special salad on other occasions. Very nice staff and great atmosphere inside as well.

  • Great atmosphere, service, & Italian cuisine. Fish is a nice full meal! You'll be very satisfied.

  • ALWAYS incredible homemade (tender) pasta. The red sauce is simply perfect, and the bread is just right! The house salad always sounded a bit bizarre, so always just got lettuce instead. This visit, we got adventurous and were pleasantly surprised! Also, first time for gnocchi. WOW! Melt in your mouth goodness! Should have known both would be good after being on their menu for decades! We’ve personally been enjoying their food (pasta and pizza) for over 40 years. Always busy and fresh. Friendly hostess and servers! Reservations are wise and keep your wait time to a minimum or none at all. Open dining with booths and tables as well as little private booth areas. Plenty of parking and private dining room available for large group gatherings. A Rockford GEM!

  • Loved the decor, the service by Megan was too notch*. We had pizza, and it was really good. * As a diabetic, I ordered the 'sugar free" ice cream for dessert. First issue, looked . like it came from a school cafeteria in a little 4 oz cup. Then I was taken back when Megan asked if I wanted a spoon with it. The ice cream was good but I wasn't sure if was sugar free and @ $4.25 for 4 oz, hmmmm. Upon testing my sugar level, I pretty much confirmed it, my level was 25 points higher than normal. In closing, I intend to go back for the food, but not the over priced ice cream.

  • Chloe was an awesome server, very attentive. Food was terrific such a great value. I had the chicken saltimbuco which came with a salad and ice cream. The jazz band that was playing when I was there, was terrific.

  • We came in and got seated instantly. The waiter (MICHEAL) came and introduced himself and got started on the drinks. He told is that the pizzas were really good. And that the cheese came from the Amish nearby. We got a pizza, my wife got lasagna and I got a baked cod. The pizza was better than he said and my added it has the perfect crust crunch. The cod was absolutely delicious and my wife enjoyed the lasagna... definitely an amazing place to try. It's one my wife and I will be returning to.

  • I’m more excited to write this 5-star review than any other I’ve done! Lino’s has been a Rockford favorite for over 50 years — I know because I worked there 53 years ago when I was 14, The family that owns Lino’s is absolutely wonderful. They recently catered my grandson’s wedding rehearsal dinner, and the food was amazing — everyone loved it! I can also vouch for dining at Lino’s over the years; the food, service, and atmosphere have always been top-notch. We’ve had nothing but great experiences there.
