03/05/2026: Beautiful location in the center of Pavia, warm welcome, thanks for the oval table in a private area, friendly and professional young staff, à la carte menu, excellent crispy egg, good fusilli pasta, as well as monkfish, excellent duck breast and beef tartare, and finally, the desserts were all top-notch: tiramisu, passion fruit parfait, and chocolate cream.
The wine list needs revising, limited selection of Italian sparkling wines, as well as dessert wines.
The only flaw is that I didn't ask for the price of the Moscato for dessert; I ended up with €48.00 for a 50ml bottle of Moscato that had already been opened.
03/05/2026: A SIMPLY SUBLIME EXPERIENCE. !!!!!!!! Thursday, April 16, 2026. I had lunch with my family... At Lino Bistrot, every detail is curated with rare sensitivity: the atmosphere is elegant yet never distant, as welcoming as a discreet embrace. The service is impeccable, attentive, and authentic, making you feel like a special guest without being forced.
The cuisine is the true masterpiece: dishes that reflect profound research, where tradition is respected yet reinterpreted with intelligence and creativity. The ingredients are of the highest quality, enhanced by surprising yet always balanced pairings. Each course is a little journey, crafted with refined technique and great passion.
The wine list is also remarkable, expertly designed and perfectly complements every choice.
Lino Bistrot is not just a restaurant, but a complete sensory experience, one that lingers in your memory and makes you want to return again. A true gem in Pavia.
