Bistro Ginolina - San Rafael

We have been coming to GinoLina on and off for a few years now. Recently, we had a post-celebration of life dinner and left everything in the hands of Gino and his team. We asked him to create three courses and pair the wines. All of the guests from out of town (2 couples) were extremely impressed with the food, service, and atmosphere. Thank you very much for everything!

We always enjoy Ginolina, and appreciate the excellent service and the quiet, and simple elegance and beauty of the restaurant. Love the Kale salad!

The food was very good, with polite service and pleasant atmosphere. We really appreciated the low noise level so we could easily converse over lunch. Relaxing and enjoyable.

Seafood linguine was okay but nothing extraordinary, although it had ample seafood; the spicy sauce and tangle of pasta was overwhelming. The house salad with prawns was fresh and the presentation lovely. Our waiter, however, recommended the most expensive items whenever given an opportunity. The wine we ordered wasn't very good, according to him, so he suggested a more suitable one. Torn between two pastas? He recommended the most expensive. Green salad-not enough without the shrimp. He was relentless. And obvious in pushing for the more expensive items and denigrating our choices if we insisted on a less expensive option
