About Us
Lombardino's is a friendly neighborhood restaurant where the atmosphere is casual and the staff is welcoming and attentive.
Our menu selections change frequently to reflect the influence of the season and the freshest available products. We have built relationships with many of the area's organic farmers resulting in the use of only the best locally grown produce items, eggs and meats. Many of Italy's finest cheeses, olive oil, and salumi are imported for the menu as well. Our wine list is comprised of Italian wines, carefully chosen to complement the changing seasonal menu selections.
