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.

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.

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...

We walked in and told the very helpful host that all we needed was two spaghetti al pomodoros and a portion of bruschetta. He got on the case straightaway and the food arrived in 15 minutes. It was also helped by the fact that the place was empty, waiting for lunch time customers to arrive. I must specifically mention that the kind of service we got here was a delight, in these unfortunate times, where customer service experiences in life, in general are spiralling down into an irretrievable vortex of detriorating misadventures excelling in outstanding mediocrity. The food, like I said, came in 15 minutes but it was flavoursome and tasteful. By far one of the best spaghetti al pomodoros we've eaten at a restaurant. We would definitely go back there again to try more things from their menu, based on our experience on this occasion. I again stress that we hope they continue to maintain these high standards of professional excellence and customer service.
