    Where's the roast beef?

    Disappointing! Took 30 minutes to get a water & soda. Ordered an appetizer (cherrystone size stuffed quahog) with our meal and it came out AFTER the pizza. Never offered a soda refill, though glass was empty halfway thru the meal. Roast beef grinder was sparse, to the point of having to open the roll to see what was in it. *The Big Mac pizza was very good, the only thing that we would recommend from this visit, but it was $30. Waitress never checked back with us. Had to ask twice for a leftover box, which we packaged ourselves. Then waited and had to ask for the bill. We were given two bills with no explanation until asked - one cash amount, one credit card amount. Again she disappeared and had to be tracked down in the kitchen to be given the cash. I left a tip, which I regretted once I walked out. Tipping is based on service, which I can't say I got. Could have said something, but I would've had to find her first

    1 star -- A masterclass in how NOT to run a restaurant. Where do I even begin with Laurino's? We came in excited to enjoy a nice dinner and left hangry, frustrated, and honestly confused how this place is still in business. Let's start with the service: we waited over 35 minutes just to get our drinks. No check-in, no "we'll be right with you"--we were basically invisible. When the drinks finally did arrive, my friend's Miami Vice was fully melted into a sad pink soup, and not even layered like a real Miami Vice. I don't know what that drink was, but it wasn't what she ordered. Now the food... or should I say, the food that never showed up? We ordered a pretty standard amount--an entrée per person and two appetizers to share--and somehow, items still went missing. Fries and clam chowder never even made it to the table. One salad did arrive, but that was another disaster. We specifically asked for no feta and dressing on the side. What we got was feta on the side (???) and absolutely no dressing at all. My friend had ordered lobster on her salad, and after bringing out a plain one, the server casually mentioned that the chef had said "no lobster," as if that had been communicated at any point. So now we had a dry, plain salad with a side of cheese we didn't want, and no dressing. Oh--and let's not forget the oysters. They came out completely plain. No horseradish, no cocktail sauce, no ketchup, no vinegar--literally nothing. Just a plate of raw oysters sitting sadly on their own like they were being punished. Every part of this meal was a letdown. Disorganized, slow, and unbothered staff, melted cocktails, missing food, ignored instructions, and flavorless presentation--it was actually impressive how many ways this went wrong. The one silver lining? The martinis were so strong, it almost felt like they were trying to help us forget the whole experience. Mission nearly accomplished. Skip this place. There are plenty of better options nearby that won't waste your time or forget half your order.

    I'm surprised by myself for not having written a review about Laurino's Tavern yet. I started coming here about 35-40 years ago. I'm not sure these days who know how the name Laurinos came to be... a Laural and a Mario came together and started the restaurant that is just up the street from Nickerson State Park on 6A. I graduared Nauset Regional High School with one of the second generation and this was well before the bar became the bar it is today. Until then it was just the window in the back of the kitchen. I went with my mom to pick up pizza so I could play the Space Invaders or Asteroid games. At any rate, Laurino's is a lower Cape mainstay Italian restaurant and bar. So... let me put out there that I am biased. Laurino's formed many of my childhood expectations on things like pizza and grinders (not subs, hogies or sandwiches). Their sausage and mushroom grinder is my favorite.... then any pizza. I want to try the Big Mac someday. Today, pepperoni. If I lived closer I'd get satisfied with these and be able to move on to their true calling, Italian entries... especially ones with seafood. BTW, always have a stuffed quohog to get things rolling. The bar is so comfortable, you can spend hours and hours here. I have... we used to call it, "going up the hill." Service, pricing and quality are at a superior level.... always. Again, I'm biased. When someone asks me where my local bar is, it's here. Just have to say I'm ashamed ar those who posted sub 5 stars... sub 4... sub 3... who are you? Probably a washashore from somewhere off Cape... NY? NJ? Quebec? Lol.

    We've been to Laurino's many times over the years when on the Cape. Always a good choice for pizza. This time, my husband had the baked scallops and I had the lobster rolls. He said they were some of the best scallops he's ever had. My order came with two lobster rolls and they were delicious. And the prices were very reasonable for the quality and quantity of the food. Service was also very good.

    Outdoor space

    The clam chowder was great, potato skins were great and not too greasy which is good, service was great, the ambiance was awesome. Overall it was a very pleasant experience. They could buy some citronella plants to deter mosquitos outside but it was fine and that's not worth deducting a star.

    Laurino's is a family/homestyle restaurant that surprised me tbh. In first reading the reviews I was a little apprehensive about going there, but my mom lives down the street and was very insistent we go to support a local business. We ordered a large pizza to share, and I really enjoyed it. Obviously it's not NY style pizza - they make homestyle pizza (coming out on a sheet pan) with thicker crust. I liked we were able to pick our own toppings on it, and the linguica is a must have as a topping. I'm really happy with what we got. The dough probably could have gone for another minute or two, but the sauce and toppings were good! Other pros: The outdoor patio was really nice and perfect with the weather. Service (and our waitress) was quick and our waitress was really good. Cons: They charge more if it's not cash(add 3 or 4%) on top of the price - is this legal in Mass?

    Chicken carbonara (with tortellini) amazing!

    According to RESY it was full until 9:00 on this Thursday in summer and that's late for me. And…read morebesides, the system didn't want to process a reservation for 1. But I stopped by midday and inquired, learning that about half the tables are first-come first-served and if I arrived around 5:15 I'd get in with no wait. A bit early but that's what I did. By 5:45 it was completely full and I heard the hostess telling arrivers of 60 minute waits. Very popular! And for good reason. La Bella Vita was as close to perfect as I've seen in some time. The hostess did some quick checking and soon found me a high top table for 4 in the semi-enclosed patio (wood stud walls, metal roof, plexiglass panels keeping out the chilly wind). There are a lot of different spaces here: the patio where I sat, the outdoor garden, or the main dining room with its table seating, the bar, and a counter and stools along a wall. So if you plan ahead and make a reservation you can have your pick. My waitress arrived soon after I was seated, brought water in a pitcher and offered bread which I appreciated. Free bread is getting less common these days unfortunately, and it was good: soft warm Italian with an herbed crust, and a bottle of olive oil and jar of grated Parmesan on the table. My drinks for the evening were one of their specials, Grapefruit Gimlet. Which I suppose is a gimlet made with grapefruit juice instead of - or in addition to - lime? It had just a hint of sweetness, good flavor, icy cold, beautiful pink color, was served in an attractive glass, and strong. My appetizer was arancini: a generous portion of 3 with a nice crunchy outside, served over plenty of good red sauce and covered with coarsely grated cheese and green parsley. The interior could have been firmer - the risotto may have been a little overcooked - but overall quite good. The highlight was without a doubt the main entree: Pork Osso Buco. It must have been a special because I don't see it on the menu now. A spectacular presentation, and enormous! The pork shank standing vertically in the center of the plate atop the mashed sweet potatoes, surrounded by a huge portion of roasted brussels sprouts. The meat was heavily herb-crusted and tender. The brussels sprouts, carefully sliced into halves, were well-browned and had just a pleasant hint of bitterness, and the sweet potato mash was a more interesting choice than the common white potatoes. They don't skimp on portion sizes here, the meat or the vegetables. I ate plenty that evening and took home enough for a large lunch the next day. My waitress was flawless. She checked on me as needed, asking how things were, knew all the answers to my several questions about the food and drinks, had good recommendations, and made me feel welcome and at home. Dessert was the Spumoni Bomba: chocolate, pistachio, and strawberry gelato inside a hard chocolate shell, served with whipped cream and chocolate drizzle. Also excellent, all 3 gelatos having great flavor, the shell pleasingly crunchy and chocolatey. The whipped cream was an unnecessary addition and was slightly melty. A minor flaw for a very good dessert, and like the appetizer and entree, a size that was more than adequate. Desserts are not made in house but came from "a bakery in Boston" I was told. Even the espresso was perfect. Definitely a place to return to. There's a large menu including many of the Italian standards - pastas, meat, poultry, and seafood entrees, and pizzas. Plenty of things to choose from. They don't make the pasta in house but I'll forgive them for that.

The atmosphere is just ok but our waitress was very friendly and accommodating. So that was a plus! We ordered the arancini, bolognese, chicken parm with broccolini instead of pasta.

I had already sent back a drink I didn't care for so I didn't want to send another thing back. Bolognese was good. Nothing special either. Don't think we will hurry back.

    On our way up the Cape for a little lighthouse-hopping adventure, we made a lunchtime stop at Cibo,…read moreand wow--this place is the real Italian deal. The second I walked through the door, I knew we were in for something authentic. The air was filled with the unmistakable smell of fresh sauce, garlic, and quality ingredients. The vibe? Warm, casual, and confidently no-frills in the best way. When my boyfriend's mom asked for mayo and was kindly offered a side of house-made marinara instead, we knew we had struck Italian gold. I ordered the Caprese panini, and while I didn't love the bread at first glance, it surprised me--it was light enough to let the real stars shine: creamy, fresh mozzarella and that incredible homemade pesto. I actually finished the whole sandwich (a rare feat when most leave me full of nothing but bread). My boyfriend (and his parents) devoured their sandwiches without a word, leaving only a few crumbs and a slightly smug expression. We also split an arancini ball for just $5--and it was hefty. Flavorful and golden, though the cheese inside could've used a bit more melt inside. Still worth it, especially at that price. Cibo offers both made-to-order paninis and a full spread of pre-prepared Italian dishes that looked straight out of Nonna's kitchen. Think: lasagna, pastas, cold salads, and a take-and-bake section with house-made pasta and sauces. The gourmet coffee bar smelled like heaven and used fresh ingredients--no plastic creamer pods in sight. Even the dessert case looked like it had stories to tell. Aside from some Cape Cod chips and bottled Coke, everything here felt distinctly and proudly Italian. This is a spot that knows exactly what it is and does it well. 10/10 would detour for this place again.

For a $17 sandwich, I would have expected way more meat and the bread/meat made me barely taste any protein. Hopefully the new team can adjust and do better in the future.
