This place was even on a Monday evening packed solidly and since we didn't have a reservation we…read morehad to wait for about 20 minutes to get seated...but that was quite alright, as we waited in the upstairs area while enjoying some drinks. And here is where I have to really commend the waiting staff: they were really helpful and super nice, although they were really busy! Alas, I kind of can't give this place a higher star-rating, mostly because food-wise it was just an ok-experience...well, maybe I should rephrase: food wise it was what I expected from a pizzeria - ok pizza, ok salads etc, but nothing really made it an exceptional or truly memorable dining experience - apart from the people that I was with, that is. But in any case, if you want to eat Italian food and if you want to have a good time with a bunch of people, I would definitely recommend you come to Gino's as the vibrating and pulsating atmosphere does resemble the atmosphere you find in real Italian trattorias...and that alone will (hopefully) put you in a good mood.

Extremely popular restaurant, in a great location if you find yourself in Lincoln and hankering for…read moresome good Italian food. We've been here a couple of times during various stays in Lincoln, both in a big group and as just the three of us. The restaurant copes very well given how busy it gets, and how big it is (seating over two floors), and has a good selection of Italian food (pizza, pasta, risotto, chicken and fish dishes). The food itself receives good reviews from friends we have dined with, and while I agree, I have yet to have anything mind blowing. Big tip: in order to avoid being treated rudely upon arriving, make sure you book in advance. Note for parents: no high chairs available, if you're likely to need one. Also it gets pretty loud, which is good if you're dining with a noisy toddler.

For starter a had a very nice starter called Bocconcini Di Pancetta, which is baby mozzarella wrapped in parma ham and pan fried with caramelized red onion on a bed of rocket. It was amazing although you don't get that much it's well worth the money! also the garlic bread is very nice as well. I had a calzone pizza for main course, if you don't know what it is it is: a pizza folded once in half with the filling inside with a rich tomato sauce on the top served with some rocket. once again amazing! there are three different choices of fillings for the calzone there is: Mozzarella and Tomato, Bolognaise and Mozzarella, Chicken And Parma Ham. to be honest the chicken and parma ham is the best of the three. Are are many different dishes like pasta, chicken, risotto etc.... Great service and friendly staff not a long wait to order or receive the food and drink. Toilets nice and mostly spacious.

I went on a Saturday evening with my partner so therefore was not party to any of the offers that…read moresome of the other reviewers have mentioned. As you enter the restaurant it is hard to not be impressed with the classy decoration of the restaurant. The restaurant never seems to be busy and lacks atmosphere. Although the food is good, it is not exceptional. So I would conclude that the food does not necessarily match the prices charged. The staff were extremely polite and the service was second to none, but I would prefer to try the alternative Italian restaurant up the hill.

Decided to go Italian this time, it was our friend Jackie's birthday, she had eaten at Romans Place…read moreone lunch time and said she had enjoyed her experience so a table was booked. On entering the restaurant we were warmly welcomed, the place was very full for a Sunday night, but this was as we found out was because of two large Christmas dinner party's (More Later). The menu had a varied choice, what you would expect from a typical Italian restaurant, and also there was a good selection on the specials board. Food arrived promptly and was good, the restaurant decor was very nice although pretty plain. Prices were about right, also the two for one meal offer was a good deal. But the only downside to the evening was the very loud noise from the Christmas diners who were shouting and screaming a lot of the time. Now I am not against anyone enjoying themselves but it was very excessive and spoilt what would have been a nice evening, but to be fair to the owners they did apologise when we left although it was not their fault, but we would defiantly try it again hopefully next time it will be quieter.

We weren't expecting a haute cuisine 2 course lunch for just £4.95 each but we were expecting an…read moreedible meal served fairly quickly. We ordered a pot of tea for two but were disappointed to find it contained only 1 tea bag! We chose soup to start with and it did arrive fairly quickly. My onion soup was very tasty but my partner said her tomato soup was bland. Then we had to wait for half an hour for the main course. My roast beef was tougher than old boots and took so long to saw through that the veg. went cold before I could eat them. My partners portion of lasagne accompanied by 10 thin chips, 1/4 of a small tomato and 4 very small bits of lettuce was almost tasteless. To cap it all the tea cost £3.40 and I later found I'd overcharged by 40p. I wouldn't recommend Roman's Place at any price!

In fact, I was part of a larger group and we all made use of the rather economic dinner-offer: 2-course for £9.95. I had the fried-brie on chutney, which was really tasty. My main was a spinach-ravioli, which was unfortunately rather uninspiring and dull...in fact, the ravioli were drowned in a rich & creamy tomato sauce, which left me feeling quite bloated. Overall judgement: decent food and good service, but the menu could use a little more sparks of ingenuity...

The price of the food matched the quality, which was just average 3 stars.

Since I don't know of any other Italian place, I can't suggest an alternative. The service was spotty. My server wasn't very good, but some of the other servers helped me out.

Both my friend's risotto main (one was seafood, the other was chicken) was both under cooked. The waiter told us that it was 'al dente, I like it this way. The other way is bad', fortunately he still took the food away to be re-cooked. Or so we thought, we saw the waiter laugh as our group with a chef in the open kitchen area. After most of us had finished our main (as we were so hungry), the risotto finally comes back hot. However, the dish tasted microwaved.
