    The one time I do not get an email asking how the restaurant was I didn't get one. Last night we went to Barlino. We made a reservation with open table . We were greeted cordially and seated. Person who brought bread & water said server would be right there. Half hour later (approx) I asked a worker where our server was.,Guy came a little while later and gave us a lame excuse as to why it took so long. He was "making an espresso" . Oh, ok. Food was just ok, and over seasoned. Not the first time, may be our last. Okay, I'm sure my husband left a decent tip. I'm very pro worker and know this work is hard, but ......here's the topper. We're on our way out and we hear another server telling customers the "specials" last night. Really? We didn't rate high enough to be told those? May very well not be back. Last I knew our money is the same as everybody else's.

    The food was excellent. It took 15 minutes to get our drinks. The server got one of our food orders wrong. In general the server was slow.

    First time here was for dinner last night (10/31) on my birthday! I loved everything about this place! Nice romantic table as requested, the warm lighting, nice low music playing lended to having nice conversation through dinner, excellent wine selection, the simple garden side salad was exquisite/delicious and had a nice produce ingredient in it that I couldn't identify lol (I need to call and inquire). The pappardelle bolognese was heaven and paired perfectly with a glass of Chianti. I will definitely return! (I hear there is live music occasionally at dinner time!?)

    Overall was excellent. Only reason gave 4/5 on food was that the appetizer portions were fairly small. I would have given 4.5/5 easily. But really the experience, food, service, drinks, was all excellent. 4.9/5!

    Food was good. I wish I remembered our servers name because she was a delight and made the experience very good instead of average.

    The service we received from our waitress was disappointing from beginning to end. Barlino used to be a go to for good Italian food and great service. Unfortunately the staff seems more concerned with chatting with each other and disappearing for long periods of time than attending to their customers. I left disappointed and with no desire to return.
