   Our waiter was very pleasant. He was attentive to our needs. Two friends ordered the sea bass and both said it was delicious and the best they’ve eaten. I ordered the pasta vongole and it was very good. Landini Bros is one of our favorite restaurants. We’ve been several times, and, we’ve never been disappointed. Thank you

   The food was excellent and the service was excellent except for a minor snafu. When ordering, the dish came with potatoes and we asked if we could substitute for something else. The answer was yes and the waitress listed off a number of options including pasta. When the bill came, we were charged for two 1/2 orders of pasta! So just beware to ensure the "substitution" is not, you can add on a side dish for a charge. So, since we paid for the potatoes, we asked to have them boxed togo and the server also added a dessert togo which was a very kind gesture to try and make it right.

   Interesting that we were denied a table in the bar and told we must “ ask the Bartender for seating” Sorry, not begging to sit. When we left. All seven tables remained empty. Not super welcoming. Rockfish and clam casino were fine. Veal parm not so much. Overall disappointing experience and rude front of house staff didn’t help

   We went to celebrate our wedding anniversary this evening. As usual the service and the food were excellent! Pablo is one of the best waiters they have. He is very prompt, great with suggestions and made our anniversary dinner a memorable one.

   As soon we got there, we got the table but the server was slow to get the menu for us. We asked for the refills for water but they never come back. But other than that everything was good.

   The space feels warm, covered in stone, unique paintings, wood and warm colors all around. It’s got a great vibe. We arrived 15 mins early to our reserved time. The host said to come back exactly at our reservation time. This seemed a little stuffy to me. We came back right on the dot and still waited around for our table. The hosts never welcomed us, or even tried to be inviting. A simple, “sorry, we’re really busy tonight,” would have been acceptable. Immediately, when seated we were handed menus and asked our water preference. Then we were ignored for 20 minutes while servers walked past us over and over. Finally a server came to the table and asked if we’d like a drink, I mentioned we never got a drink menu. The server never told us the specials, again, the experience felt very unwelcoming for the service I expected with this decor. Food was average in taste, I didn’t leave thinking I need to come back to taste it again. The portions and prices were fair though, which was nice. Overall, come for the atmosphere but don’t expect anything too much when it comes to the service or food quality at Landini Brothers. They are busy, but I imagine more because of the ambiance and location than because of the quality. Don’t be fooled.

    Normally a good spot but a total off night when my wife and I went for valentines day. Service was slow as hell, our cocktails were poorly mixed, and some of the food served to us was not what we ordered.
