My second visit to Lino restaurant, the ambience was really cozy; I absolutely loved my experience here! The food was tasty and the staff were friendly. I liked the Vongole Linguine, Braised lamb shank (which was nice and tender), Mussels, and Prawn (the seafood was really fresh). The pizzas also tasted good with a thin crust. For dessert, the Tiramisu was a must-try with its rich and creamy flavor. I will definitely bring more friends here. Thank you, Chef Dalton, for all the food recommendations.

Came on a Friday and they had a live jazz band! Chill atmosphere and great food, everything we ate was good. The mushroom pizza, iberico pork secreto and duck confit were a hit! The clams from the vongole linguine were large, fresh and no bad taste or sand. Service team were all very friendly, always topping up our water and checking in on the food. Definitely a place to come back!

Burrata pizza was great tho I felt that the pizza could be less crispy and quite disappointed that the standard for the truffle mayo fries has dropped. Lino used to have the best truffle mayo fries in my opinion but now it’s just regular …

My dining experience at LINO was truly enjoyable. The food and ambience were great. It’s a relaxed yet stylish Italian setting that’s perfect for catching up with friends.
We shared the Vanamei Prawn Spaghetini and Crab Risotto, both of which were rich in umami and very tasty. My own order, the Penne alla Vodka with burrata, was excellent. The penne was perfectly al dente and tasted handmade. The creamy burrata complemented the pink sauce beautifully. It was really a high quality taste.
For dessert, I enjoyed the panna cotta very much. It was smooth, creamy, and a satisfying way to end the meal. I got to try the tiramisu and tortino and they were good too.
The service was attentive and helpful, which made our time there even more pleasant. The staff were friendly and responsive to our requests, creating a welcoming environment throughout our meal.
Overall, it was a great dining experience with delicious food, lovely ambience, and good service. The location makes it a convenient spot for lunch or dinner in the Orchard area. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for solid Italian fare in a casual yet refined setting.
