| - Love Lombardinos for their calamari, pizza, pasta and desserts!! Yes, that is a lot of food, so as you have guessed, this is a perfect place to go hang out with friends for a nice meal together.
They have seasonal specials for pizza and pasta. But I got reluctant to order from the specials cos
1) tried the squash pizza offered during their squash specials but the squash was not properly cooked =(
2) their combinations can be pretty adventurous, once I saw a sour cream flavored gelato ~~
I would saw go for it if you are up for trying some new stuff, but for me I prefer my traditional go-tos when I am here. I would always start with the calamari, the marinara sauce is a great pairing to the calamari, it does come with horse radish sauce but you can always tell them to leave it out if it like me, it's not your favorite sauce.
The highlights for me have always been the desserts in addition to the Italian food. They have superb home-made gelato ice-cream and the serving is really generous! The flavors vary but the classics such as vanilla (wow the texture of vanilla beans!!) have always been there all those times I'd visited. I would also recommend the tiramisu, it looks deceivingly small but boy it's rich. The thick chocolate sauce that they drizzle on the side just makes this dessert twice as good.
Service has always been awesome so my times there have been wonderful. They take reservations so if you are planning a trip down, go ahead and let them know in advance! The atmosphere is nice too, semi-dark lighting with nice decos on the wall and postcards on the tables, makes for a great setting both for groups or dates =)
