Lombardi's Italian Restaurant

We love Italian food, So we decided on Lombardi's. We haven't been there since they opened up for in house dining. We love the decor and the water view. It's a relaxing atmosphere made me feel like I was in Italy. Our waitress Gwendolyn was outstanding, she was helpful regarding the menu I give her 5 stars for her service. I would have given 5 stars for our food, but only gave 4 stars because my meal was a little off. I ordered the Chicken Parmigiano and my Husband ordered the Roman Style Lasagna.The vegetables that came with my Chicken Parmigiano were done perfectly, the buttered Fettuccine was cooked to perfection. The flavors of the whole meal was delicious. But my breaded chicken medallion were over cooked. The beaded crust was over cooked which made the chicken dry and hard to cut into. All the flavors of the tomato sauce, parmesan and the buttered fettuccine was perfect. My Husband's Lasagna was the star of the day. It was truly delicious. The cream sauce and the combination of the tomato sauce was amazing. The portions of both meals were more than enough. We talked to our Waitress Gwendolyn about my chicken and she was so kind and was quick to rectify our meal. She was truly good at her job and we will totally return to Lombardi's. Lombardi's has one of the best views and flavors for Italian cuisine.

I'm sorry to say that we were disappointed. I know quite a few people that enjoy Lombardi's. These reviews were a major part in my choice to bring my wife in for our anniversary. We knew going in that it would be expensive, but for the food we had, it was not worth it. My wife actually joked that we should've stayed home and ordered DQ. It may be fast food, but at least it's tasty.To be fair, the calamari appetizer was really good! So many places get calamari wrong. It's usually overcooked with the consistency of jerky, but Lombardi's has this 100% correct. The calamari was tender and flavorful. Then our food arrived and it took a turn. I ordered the chicken parmigiana. It was 3 pressed discs of chicken with a side of fettuccine and 3 pieces of asparagus. The chicken parm was burned on the bottom and the meat was tough and overcooked. The fettuccine was so al dente that I couldn't twirl it on my fork. My wife was actually laughing watching me trying to eat it. The asparagus was also al dente. I ate a little of each item, but quit about 25% of the way through. It was terrible. It didn't even taste good.My wife ordered the mahi mahi. Her asparagus was also al dente and when she started eating her fish, she was constantly spitting out bones. She finished half the fish and gave up. She said the rice beneath the fish was terrible and she only took one bite. She tried a few bites of asparagus, but gave up on that too. When we met all those years ago, we shared a slice of tiramisu, so we ordered that and... also terrible. We each had a bite or two and asked for the check.Our server, heard our concerns and decided to give us $10 off our meal. While she was nice and well meaning, $10 off of a $120 meal somehow feels worse than just paying full price.I'm pretty fair with my reviews and I try not to pick on little things, but again, this was an expensive meal for us on our anniversary, and instead of a lovely dinner, we just enjoyed the dark comedy of a shared bad experience... and a cup of noodles when we got home.

I enjoyed a delicious Sicilian Lamb Meatball dish here on a surprisingly busy Thursday evening. The dish itself was unique with an incredible amount of flavors, including grapes, oranges, tomato, onions, mint, figs, and pomegranates on top of plentiful lamb meatballs, completed by the garlic pappardelle nestled underneath. While the seating can be a bit tight, it creates an intimate dining setting with a gorgeous view of the water. The waiters were attentive without being overbearing, and kindly let us stay after closing time as we chatted the night away in the cozy restaurant. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a more upscale fine dining experience in Bellingham.

This has become a favorite place of ours. They have earned a five star rating.Italian food as it should be. Outstanding service by Heather and Anthony in the bar area every time. Seven days a week they still have a great happy hour. Lots of scratch made pasta and sauce to match. Perfect setting sitting on the water... So thankful to have Lombardi's in Bellingham.

This is our go-to for a night out in Bellingham. The food and service have always been top-notch. The Sicilian Lamb Meatball pasta is one of the most unique dishes I have ever had, and is perfectly executed! I have also enjoyed the Tortellini with Gorgonzola Cream Sauce and the Shrimp Fra Diavlo. The best deal in town is their Italian Supper Club. Available Monday's 3pm to close and Tuesday-Friday 3-5pm. A 3-course meal for $27! They always have local beers and wines on tap (yes, wine on tap!). And check out their seasonal cocktails!Make sure to sign up for their VIP club so you will get emails about special events. We went to a brewery dinner there - the chef created dishes to pair with the beers supplied by San Juan Brewing. It was outstanding!

Food was decent, service was great. The biggest bummer was having to wait about 45 minutes or more for lunch to arrive. Might try it again, might not. Overall food was about a 6/10 in my opinion, service 8. Wasn't super pumped on the 4.5% extra charge, just mark the food up more looks less tacky.

The food the service THE FOOD!The Sicilian meatballs are legit to die for! I had a hard time finishing them and not ordering a second plate to go! My husband said every single cocktail they make was to perfection! We sampled a shrimp appetizer that had white beans and the best grilled bread! Cannot wait to go back and just enjoy this gem!

Tonight we gave their early bird dinners a tryThey were not impressiveThe spaghetti and meatballs had too much garlic and the sauce was thinThe shrimp dish was not flavorfulThe dessert was fine

We got an aggressive server who I caught yelling at other staff. We ended up leaving and I hope this person has a better day.

Tonight we enjoyed the poached pear salad and fig-wrapped dates as starters. For our main course, we had the prosciutto and mushroom pizza and chicken saltimbocca. Our server was wonderful and the food arrived promptly. The pizza had a slightly elevated salt content and the chicken had a chewy texture, but the flavors were well-balanced and delicious overall.
