    Flatbread pizza with arugula, tomatoes and balsamic - without the marinara- delicious!
    Anita D.

    It took me my second stop in here to finally realize it's the old Corner Pockets! Located on a very busy intersection in Johnston (Hartford Ave. & Atwood Ave.) this place is perfect for after work drinks and apps. They have specials throughout the week, both menu and event - there is country line dancing on Tuesday nights and the place packs out. The ambience is pretty contemporary with the blue lighting and black decor. The bartenders are very friendly and there's even a spinny wheel to win things such as free drinks or appetizers. The food is pretty good too, definitely get the Ave fries as they have garlic and Parmesan as well as a bit of a kick to them. The flat breads are great as they don't feel as heavy as pizza, and I love the wings - the maple ones are my favorite. Definitely make sure to check this place out if you are looking for a bar / hangout spot especially after work.

    Owner kicked me out 14 degrees outside because I called the pd for a lockout after aaa said 530 am n Uber cancelled 3 rimes! I started this at 1130 pm He needed another n said pd are his friends nice try have a nice night! Leave!

    The vibes are immaculate, Bruce is the best and makes the Silliest drinks. Weekly line dancing nights? DJs? pretzel balls??!?!!? we go over 2 bridges to get here, and we'd gladly cross 200 more!!!!

Our whole family can't stop talking about how good everything was. That says a lot. First, the space. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the acoustics are genuinely impressive. My grandfather wears hearing aids and he had zero trouble following conversation all night. That's rare and it meant so much to us. We had a reservation and they sat us early, which immediately set the tone. The bread and bread oil kit they bring out? Do not skip it. Just trust me. We had kids with us and their food came out so fast I actually laughed. Our food followed shortly after and the pasta was truly exceptional. Just genuinely high quality, generous portions, and completely worth every penny. We were shocked at how affordable the bill was for what we got. Our server Envy was an absolute gem. Friendly, attentive, and so kind. But honestly the whole staff was like that. Other servers who weren't even in our section came over just to joke around with our kids. The table was never cluttered. A dirty dish sat in front of us for maybe ten seconds before it was gone. I travel for work domestically and for pleasure domestically and internationally and can say that Bar Lino is the only flawless restaurant experience I have ever had. Flawless from start to finish. We will be back. Bring everyone you love!

They give you olives & bread to start which was very soft & doughy (how I like it) but a little over salty. The food came out extremely fast and piping hot! The chicken parm was cooked perfectly with a good crunch on the edges. The pasta was perfectly al dente and the portion was huge. The bolognese had a delicious flavor but a bit of a smaller portion comparatively. Service was good but could've been a bit more attentive throughout the meal for refilling water, etc. but no big deal. Will definitely be back here when I'm craving Italian!

    This was my first visit…read more That's worth saying up front because Rosa Mia has been around for a very long time. There are people in Johnston who have been eating this pizza for most of their lives. They don't just know what it tastes like. They know what it's supposed to taste like. I had none of that. No childhood stake in this one. No fourty year memory to argue with. Just a thick, square pie and an open mind. The first surprise was the crust. This is a substantial pizza, but it didn't eat that way. The top and bottom had real crunch, crisp and golden brown, buttery, with the bottom almost looking like it had been fried in oil. Then you get through that shell and everything changes. Soft. Chewy. Light and airy. Delicious. That contrast was the best thing about the pizza. The cheese was harder to figure out. It never really browned, even around the edges where the crust was getting dark, and the flavor wasn't quite mozzarella. Sharper. Fuller. If I had to guess, I'd say there's some provolone working in there, blended in rather than announced. I could be completely wrong. Whatever it is, the cheese tasted like something. That's not as common as it should be from a lot of pizzerias. Then there was the sauce. On this particular pie, there just wasn't much there. Thin. Almost apologetic. Salt was the only note that really came through. I didn't get much tomato. I didn't get much herb. Nothing really pushed back against a crust and cheese that were doing most of the work. And that's where Rosa Mia and I probably part ways a little. Plenty of people talk about this as some of the best pizza in Rhode Island. After eating it, I understand why. That crust is excellent. The cheese is distinctive. If those are the things you care about most, this is a genuinely good pizza and absolutely worth trying. But I'm a crust-and-sauce guy. I need both. Maybe that's also the difference between discovering a pizza and growing up with one. If Rosa Mia had been down the street from my house when I was ten, maybe this is the pizza I'd spend the rest of my life defending. I understand how that happens. This is exactly the kind of neighborhood pizza that gets wired into people that way. But I didn't grow up with Rosa Mia. I got to meet it at 59, with no memories attached and nothing to judge except the pizza in front of me. Great crust. Really interesting cheese. A sauce, at least this time, that didn't give me enough. Really good pizza. And close enough to great that I understand why somebody else might have spent fifty years insisting that it is.

    We ordered online for pick up, which was about 45 minutes on a Friday afternoon. We ordered the hot…read morehoney pizza, regular pepperoni, and buffalo tenders. Everything was delicious! Our favorite was the honey pizza. Can't wait to try other things on the menu!

Such a great place to get lunch. The pizza is substantial, filling and very affordable. They have 40 (yes, 40) house pies and these amazing "mouthful" grilled wraps. We got a chicken parm one that comes with these awesome and pretty unique onion dippers. You can't beat the quality, the taste or the price here. Awesome spot for lunch or dinner.

I brought some of my roommates and we ordered a selection of pizzas. I had been here a few weeks ago with my Lord of the Wings coupon so I already knew I was in for a good meal. It was the first time for my group so I was excited to introduce them. We got an order of the pretzel sticks to start and they were great. I was busy yapping with Keith at the bar when they arrived so no picture of that lol Our pizzas arrived and we dove in. We got the Italian Sausage Margarita, All About That Pig and a black olive pineapple pizza. My group mates really liked the pizza. The pig pizza had an awesome Carolina Gold BBQ sauce on it (my favorite style), the sausage went fantastic on a margarita, new flavor combo unlocked! And the roommate that got the black olive pineapple pizza inhaled it and said that This Guy's Pizza is Two Thumbs Up all the way for her. I really love the texture of their crust, it's a delicate kind of crispy and yields to a pleasant softness. Given that we live about 12 minutes up Route 6 from them, I know it's only a matter of time before we're back there again!

The meat is sooooo juicy, tender and flavorful! Next would be obviously their pizza and their salad! (please note: their salads is topped to the BRIM! And if good enough to share with 2-3 people) Depending on the day in the mood would determine which pizza I get my top 3 are/ Gold digger, the San Genaro, and the Marilyn Monroe/Fign' a (I can't decide LOL) don't let the commotion of Rolfe square Seder you from visiting, there is plenty of parking in the back, the restaurant is such a vibe with the decor (learn some Italian LOL) and hilarious placemats. And lastly, what I think is so cool and unique about this place is their Themed Weekend specials! They always have fun drinks and witty names for the items. Oh and don't forget to swing by the dessert case on your way out- they have LEMON TIRAMISU!!!! You heard right! LEMON TIRAMISU!!

The pizza was only $20, which I thought was a pretty reasonable price. They only offer one size, which I'd say is around a large, although maybe just a little smaller than a typical large. It wasn't a huge difference, but I do wish they offered a smaller size as an option. I was going to add honey to the pizza, but it was an additional $4, which I thought was a little much for just a drizzle of honey, so I skipped it. I also noticed they don't open until 4:30, at least yesterday, so I wish they opened a little earlier. I completely understand that they're more of a dinner spot, though. Overall, it's a great spot with really good pizza and a reasonable price. I'd definitely come back!
