I have not been in a while. The few times I have been to bar or out to dinner , I had a nice time. Great food, good prices, excellent service. I never had a bad time at any of the resyeraunts on the hill. Uhm ty

I love the lasagna here it is very delicious, the FRIED ZUCCHINI flower dish here is amazing the best I've ever had I try ordering this at least every other weekend when it's in season. The service is top notch. The ambiance is awesome very classy, upscale.

A fantastic place to eat! The dining room was full so we sat at the bar, which had the full menu. I ordered the lasagna and was not disappointed!! It was soooo good! And the service was excellent! If we ever return to the area we will definitely eat here again. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of food and service.

Amazing service and food. Fried calamari and clams Giovani were very good. Chicken franchise was flavorful and tender and vodka sauce was delicious and creamy. Great food and atmosphere

So a few things has changed since I've last been here for lunch- and I'm disappointed. This has and will still be my favorite restaurant anywhere for lunch or dinner- but we will not be able to go as often . For lunch, there was a 30 percent increase on cost and significantly reduced portions (chicken used to cover the plate) - and now there is a credit card fee on the bill of 5 percent. I totally get it restaurants need to do this to keep up with inflation and stay afloat- I was surprised it was so quiet there during lunch it used to be a very busy spot for lunch. I felt overwhelmed today with increased price, smaller portion and a credit card charge. Food was still amazing and drinks always on point. Service exception so no complaints there.

I had the luck of finding this place maybe 6 months ago. Since then I have been numerous times -- whenever I visit Boston I make sure to make the trip. I am always treated like family. The first time I went the wait was 1.5 hours so I wandered around federal hill and was so glad I waited. For me, this is the best Italian food I have ever had hands down. They also have amazing vegetarian options. Impossible to overstate how flavorful the food is but the way they treat you there is also so special. This place is ALWAYS busy so I strongly recommend a reservation -- and yes I have been twice in a single day for lunch, and dinner. This is probably my favorite restaurant of all time. I lived in Boston and went to school there and can confidently say this is better than any of the Italian places still in Boston.

Visited Andino's for lunch today. Tried their calamari as an appetizer along with the eggplant rollatini and veal saltimbocca for entrees. The calamari was fried and served with sliced pickled hot peppers. This might have been the best calamari I have ever had and I have eaten this type of dish all over the country. The coating was good and without a burned taste on the calamari like you get in many places, plus the hot pepper slices just pushed it over the top. The eggplant rollatini was a huge portion, (3) pieces, and overall pretty good, it was different than many other eggplant rollatini's in that it contained a nice portion of I believe prosciutto in the center of each piece, and I could not identify the ricotta in it if any. The only part of it that didn't thrill me was the hard cheese mixed in it was rather too strong in taste for me in some spots, but overall it was okay The veal saltimbocca was tasty with plenty of veal, mushrooms, and a delicious wine sauce. It was well worth the 26-dollar fee for the dish. Lastly, on the food, the complimentary bread was really on point, after living out closer to the West Coast for the last several years, this bread just hit the way Italian bread should. The wait staff for our table was two different servers. they worked well and they both checked in on us multiple times. The service was not rushed, and not slow either. The servers were both nice and pleasant, and we were offered up options on how the food could be prepared more to our liking. As to the ambiance, the place is on the smaller or intimate size, yet we didn't feel crammed in like in some other smaller places. It has an upscale looking bar when you walk in and there is a divider separating the bar area from most of the tables. Overall, the place is great and I look forward to returning to try some different dishes.

I came to Andino's for lunch on the hill and valet was a huge bonus considering it was the weekend, rainy, and busy. They parked my vehicle right away and I was able to get quick service at the bar. They give you complimentary bread with olive oil and balsamic. For an appetizer, I got the fried mozzarella. It came with 4 thick mozzarella triangles and a delicious crispy breading. I would suggest asking for extra marinara sauce on the sauce, it was so good! For an entree, I ordered chicken franchise - a good piece of chicken but the sauce was very thin and too much lemon. My boyfriend's dish stole the show, he got Chicken Parmesan in a pink vodka sauce. The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy in the middle with a delicious pink vodka sauce smothered with cheese on top. The pink vodka sauce had a nice creamy texture and great flavor. The restaurant gave throwback Italian vibes - I'll definitely be back!
