Ristorante Lino Bistrot In Pavia

A very refined and intimate atmosphere. Friendly and professional staff. The owner is welcoming and helpful. Delicious and refined dishes.

I'd already been to the restaurant in downtown Pavia and decided to return, confirming my initial positive impression. The location is truly pleasant, with attention to detail and an elegant yet unpretentious atmosphere. The dishes are simple yet refined, with interesting pairings and excellent cuisine, precise in flavors and well-balanced portions. You can sense attention to detail in the selection of ingredients and the presentation. Unfortunately, the service is a letdown: the waitress, who was incredibly kind, found herself alone managing all the tables, which led to inevitable delays, especially in the initial phase (menus, orders, wine, bread, etc.). Considering the bill isn't exactly light, I would have appreciated a little more attention and coordination. What I wasn't entirely convinced by was the arrangement of the tables, which were too close together: it felt like everyone was dining together, with little privacy and a somewhat forced silence. The lighting, too, is a bit too bright and could use a facelift to make the atmosphere warmer and more relaxed. Overall, however, Lino Bistrot remains an excellent place: the food is well worth the visit, and with a few small tweaks to the atmosphere and service, it could become truly perfect.

An elegant bistro in the center of Pavia, offering excellent dishes made with exceptional ingredients, top-notch service, and a superb atmosphere. Prices are reasonable for the quality. Highly recommended!

I stopped by to have lunch and I was surprised by the attention to detail and hospitality of the place. Very friendly staff and an ambient and spacious sitting area. Outdoor seating under the umbrella located in the piazza offers an exquisite dining experience. I tried their cottoletta with baked potatoes and it was one of the crunchiest and tastiest I’ve tried!

The food was excellent portion size very small so you need to order multiple dishes in order to be full

The dishes are very well prepared and truly excellent, the waiters very attentive and kind.

Refined, elegant, super welcoming and relaxing place. Very kind, helpful and professional staff. Excellent food. To return
