I've been going to Alina's for years -- it's one of my favorite restaurants in the area. Wonderful service, delicious food and excellent bartenders. Ambiance is comfortable and nose level is low - a wonderful dining experience all around. Easy to reserve a table and conveniently located right off Rt. 9 in Hadley. read more

Service was excellent and attentive. The place was packed on a Saturday night. Sadly I thought the food was quite ordinary. Calamari should have been better, seemed heavy and over battered. Not bad place, just not remarkable. read more

Very nice Italian restaurant. Service is attentive and welcoming. It gets crowded, so reservations definitely recommended. Food was good and satisfying: we shared an appetizer of seared scallops on sautéed wild mushrooms; then a fettuccine al fredo. Both were very good though in hindsight, we should've doubled up on the scallops! Delicious! I had a veal Marsala which was tasty and tender; my wife had their roasted salmon on a bed of rabe, which was outstanding. We finished up with a pair of desserts: a terrific tiramisu and a decadently rich butter cake. Definitely hits your Italian cravings! read more

Upn arriving into piano room we noticed it was extremely loud and cramped. there was a table of around 20 people seated to our left and they got very noisy and you couldn't hear yourself speak. I ordered the linguine with clams and there were no pieces of clam in the linguine as stated on menu. I got a few whole clams that didn't taste fresh and were chewy. For the price paid I expected more. read more

Food, service, ambiance, value and music were absolutely outstanding. The cherry on the top of this evening was the pianist, Ed Brainerd. We have heard him perform previously at a few venues and really enjoyed hearing him play. It was an absolute pleasure talking to him, and he played two requests for us. Our meals were delicious and the service was outstanding. We got so much more than we expected when we ordered the Tuesday Date Night special! read more

Went to this restaurant for a graduation party on a Sunday at 4pm. We had a reservation and they were able to accommodate our party of 10. I had the Fettuccine Con Julienne Di Manzo which was very good. The beef was tender and the pasta well cooked. For dessert I had the chocolate torte which was very rich. We had the fried mozzarella as a app. It was 2 pieces of mozzarella for around $10 which is a little pricey, but very good. Bread as an app was warm and served with butter. Our waiter was very nice, but a little pushy with drinks. For example when you asked for a refill he came back with your refill and an extra refill. Which some people may enjoy, but for me it was too many drinks and I ended up not touching one. He did this for multiple members of our party. Again he was very nice just a small critique. read more

Fabulous food. Six people and everyone enjoyed what they ordered. Great service (thanks Victor). Really enjoyable dinner at Alina's. We will definitely be back!!!! read more

We came here for dinner over Family Weekend. Glad we made reservations because it was packed within a half hour of our getting here. We were seated in the smaller, more intimate dining room. I would pick that area next time because the larger part seemed loud. They did have a piano player in the larger room, which was probably fun. Our server, Sheridan, was good and helped time our meal, which was nice. He also made good suggestions about the appetizers and seemed to know about the entrées. The bread came out warm, which I always appreciate! We enjoyed the fried mozzarella, burrata salad, and the Caesar salad. The chicken piccata was literally perfect. It was tender and with not a super heavy sauce. My husband had the veal saltimboca, which was tasty but a tad overdone, which I was surprised by. But still yummy. The other two people enjoyed the carbonara (also seemed somehow not overly creamy, which maybe some people won't like but looked good to me), and the pasta with spinach. We will probably be back at some point. Nice for a fancier meal. read more

Unfortunately we could not go to the restaurant because They are on Winter Vacation! But when we have gone The Hostess Servers Food and Drinks Desserts are always Excellent!! So we will try again to schedule an evening for dinner in the future!! Always 5 Stars any time we have gone to Alina's read more

No coat rack for heavy winter coats. Room was cold when we arrived at opening. No salt and pepper on the tables. "Jazz" pianist played old standards....not jazz. Good food, but at those prices it has to be. read more

Amazing food, drinks, and service! This place is an absolute gem! I would give it more stars if I could.. read more

Everything I've had here is excellent! Never disappoints. The GF pasta is some of the best I've had.

Really excellent service. Took my mom and daughter for a special dinner. Mom has the salmon which was amazing. Will definitely return!

We enjoy Alina's. It is our go to restaurant. We enjoy their seasonal menus and the cocktails are consistently good. Decor and ambiance are great. This is upscale (for the area) and yet very comfortable. Personally, I love sitting at the bar, but the tables are nice and there is a private party space downstairs. Service is always good and most of the servers have been there a long while. All that said, I wish there were some classics on the menu. Sometimes you just want a nicely done lasagna bolognese or spaghetti with garlic bread. read more

The restaurant itself is quaint and welcoming. Great ambiance. The service was amazing and efficient. Our waiter was very personable and knowledgeable. Now to tell you about the food!!! I'm not sure where to start. I ordered filet and butter and garlic pasta. It was one of the most tender filets I have ever had. It was delectable. I am adding pictures to show what was ordered. We enjoyed every bite. Everyone was very happy with their food choices. I can't wait for a reason to go back. All I can say is try it! read more

Always in my happy place when at Alina's. Food, drinks, service, they have it all. Date night on Tuesday is great but I'd go any day of the week! read more

A chance visit became a magical evening. We called at 4pm for a dinner reservation and the cheery answerer snagged us a bar seat (more on this later) at 6:45. Turns out this was co-owner Maritza. Also turns out it was her a chef and co-owner Martin's 20th wedding anniversary! Tip - While online reservations are possible, only calls for same day rezos after 3:30pm. So the "bar seats" are stools set at a high top table next to the bar. This gives you lots of room on the table and the bar. The stools are comfortable and swivel, allowing us a view into the kitchen (see pic) and to interact with the amazing bartender Nicole, as well as the two chefs. Covid protocols are strictly followed, with well spaced seating in the two dining areas and at the bar. We felt very comfortable inside on this chilly, rainy night. Not only did we get to watch kitchen prep and cooking all evening, but we got to appreciate how well organized they were despite being packed! The staff treated each other with care and we could tell this is a true team effort. We got to chat a bit with everyone, and had such a wonderful time...celebrating our next-day 37th anniversary! The menu is mouthwatering and different from the usual Italian fare. Wish we could taste our way through! The wine list is solid, both depth and price-wise. We started with the scallops Mare et Monti, in a bed a crispy wild mushrooms and a lightly spiced tangerine butter. Outstanding! My wife had the Chicken Piccata. No breading, tender, with just the right amount of flavorful sauce. Amazingly, she also consumed ALL of her least favorite veggie green beans! Best ever, she claimed! I went with the Alina's Linguine, with a bit of everything- chicken, shrimp, scallop, sausage in a flavorful creamy tomato & rosemary sauce with capers This was an evening we will not forget! Bravo! read more

Absolutely incredible meal and phenomenal service!! Best in the Valley for Italian

Went here last Valentines, so wanted to it give it another try. Last year we noticed the lighting wasn't great, so dark that it was hard to see the menus. Luckily this year they seemed to spruce it up. We quickly were brought to our seats, unlike last year where we waited a .5hr+ for a 6:30 reservation. My fiancé ordered the lobster ravioli, I tried some as well and we both felt it to be delicious!! I ordered the 12oz sirloin, medium. The temp was good on it, but it still didn't give you that melt in your mouth feel. Still a tad tough. Flavor was good, a bit on the sweeter side. Wish it could've gotten a bit more seasoning to it. Mashed was standard, a bit dry but good. The veggies were a bit cold, could've gotten some more love/seasoning. Our waiter was fantastic, I am terrible when it comes to names but his service was memorable!! Very friendly and always had a smile on his face!! Price came out to be about $40 per meal, which I understand it was a holiday and rates have been going up so I'm not gonna knock on them too much for that. It was a pretty delightful experience again, would definitely check it out again!! read more

Perfectly prepared salmon delivered with exquisite service by Lindsey in a beautiful room complete with piano music.

This is a wonderful restaurant. I love everything about it from the food to the service to the extremely friendly owners. I go there often

On a snowy February evening we decided to go to Alianas. I had been a few times before many years ago, but not seeking a vegetarian meal. We had a nice table near an electric fireplace and our order promptly and pleasantly taken. For appetizer we split Schiacciat, the house salad, with also hot rolls and butter. Going all in, we split orders of palermitna and convict pasta. All exceeded expectations. The salad with light italian balsamic and the finely grated prmigiano a great opening to the outstanding smoked ckeese basil sauce on mushrooms and penne. So rich and decedent, we slowly had a bite at a time between sips of our drinks. The lighter sicillian soulfood with raisins, pignoli nuts, hot pepper flakes on angel hair provided a nice contrast that was subtler, yet delicious. Coffee and tea with tiramisu a perfect finish. This is now our top italian restaurant! read more

Enjoyed Alina's Linguini and was able to swap out the linguini for penne. Wonderful meal, good portions, wasn't expecting a bread charge so heads up. It was nearly full on a Tuesday night so reservations are suggested. Overall attentive and great service. Enjoyed the ambiance and the piano player. Wine selection is good. Specials are very reasonable and we'll be back for the date night special. read more

Alina's is one of only two top area restaurants that I got to weekly. I love just sitting at the bar, ordering a Steel Rail Pale ale, and looking over the menu. read more

Food was great. Bartender was awesome, made a few great recommendations. Visited the area for business and stopped in for dinner on my way out, and this was a nice stop. Good wine selection and the food menu, I'm sure no matter what item is selected, will not disappoint. They pride themselves in making sure customers are happy, and have "regulars" returning constantly. I'd be happy to visit if I'm in the area again! read more

A very lovely dining experience especially with the live piano music. Very nice and relaxing. Great place for a special occasion. The food is very fresh and amazing. We look forward to coming back and exploring more of their Italian menu. read more

I've been to two private parties held here. In both cases, staff were friendly, courteous, and professional. The food was excellent, the wine was great, the ambiance was elegant. All the guests had a great time. There is ample parking as well. I've eaten here when there were not private parties as well and experienced the same great service and food. Great Italian food in Western Mass is here. read more

Wow is all I can say about our experience at Alinas! Sitting in the piano room was great with the pianist playing songs. Our server was absolutely amazing...right on point with everything and his personality was unforgettable. So let's start with the scallop and mushroom appetizer it was splendid. Perfectly cooked scallops and mushrooms so tasty. I had Alina's linguine with nice sized shrimp, scallops, chicken, and thinly sliced sausage. What a flavorful dish all the ingredients were fresh and perfectly cooked. The subtle taste of rosemary in the sauce just put it over the top. My wife's swordfish dish was equally amazing. We were pretty full at this point but when the food is this good you gotta get desert. Chocolate torte was decadent, crème brûlée out of this world. This is definitely on our radar next time we are in the area. read more

We had a lovely meal at Alina's last night. The salmon was perfectly cooked (tender, not dry). The brown butter cake with caramel gelato was TO DIE FOR. Our waiter was Emmanuel, who used to co-own Chez Albert in Amherst! It was so nice to see him. He was gracious and friendly as always. read more

This was a pleasant supply. We stoped in on a Tuesday night and it was packed. They could sit us outside at a high top- why do those tables exist? Anyway, we were hungry so we took the table. It was a beautiful evening- not too hot and beautiful out of the tent. There is a wonderful date night special $85 for a bottle of wine, shared appetizer, entree, salad and shared dessert. The meal was excellent! The brown butter dessert with caramel ice cream and the fish is the day grilled was swordfish- we will be back! read more
