HUGE portions of delicious pasta! Rino's is a small cash only establishment has a very authentic feel with a straightforward menu and delish simplistic food! The restaurant is small and lively so can be a bit loud at times but has a fun feel. Service is efficient despite the busy crowd but mostly just checks in for essentials. Definetly a great bang for your buck, I had yummy leftovers for days!

This place is a Hidden gem with very very good homemade Italian food. The prices are reasonable. Parking is on Street only so choose wisely the time of day you go.

Great food and great vibe! We had to wait for a bit to get seated on a Saturday night, but the food was well worth the wait. The menu itself is pretty straight forward but the specials menu is extensive. I ended up getting the Veal which was delicious. Super tender and the homemade pasta is such a hit! Would definitely come back

Had the veal parm w spaghetti It was by far the best veal parm I've ever had! Perfect thickness not to thin not to thick ! Nice and crunchy! Huge portion for $24 w delicious sauce and plenty of cheese ! nice fresh bread too ! 2 huge pieces of veal and at least a 1/2 pound of spaghetti! I understand why they won't let you share plates because everyone would! Meals are that BIG! Can't wait to go back and try the apps and deserts I heard they are awesome too You probably have to wait to get in but it will be well worth it! I hear the lobster ravioli is amazing! Check it out ! Rino's place is CAN'T MISS!

2 nd time here with auntie Ellie Just so good. Every thing was super delicious and tasty. Michelle got the veal parm and I stuck to my favourite tortellini. All the waitstaff are very attentive and caring. Thank you Cheryl for taking care of auntie Ellie. The nieces from vegas

A few things you should know before you attempt to visit: Street parking is very limited in the area and is permit only M-F from 6pm to 8am. Also, the restaurant's inside dining space is small. I believe there are only 10 tables (though I did see some outdoor tables as well). I'd suggest arriving as early as possible and/or expect to wait in a line outside. One of the staff even has the message 'Yes, you have to wait outside' imprinted on the back of her shirt, lol You've been forewarned! This is a cash only establishment. They have an ATM. I arrived 30 minutes before opening on a Saturday and was the second person in line and was very pleased that I was able to get in and get a great seat at the front window. Enjoyed my meal and wine tremendously! Started off with asparagus wrapped with prosciutto topped with goat cheese and drizzled with balsamic glaze. It was delicious. I thought it was going to be warm, but it was cold, but still good. Paired a Pinot Grigio with lobster ravioli - which was absolutely wonderful. Loved the rich flavor of the fresh plum tomato brandy cream sauce! Amazing food, great service and warm ambience!

I can't even begin to tell how incredible this place is! Let me start by saying I ate here for the first and only time while visiting Boston over 3 years ago. Today while planning a return trip to Boston in a few months, I was started looking through some pictures in order to get the name of the bed and breakfast where we stayed and I came across this picture of the limoncello scallops and was immediately transported back in my mind to the day where we happened across this restaurant and decided to stop based solely on the name (my mother's maiden name is Rino). It's a very unassuming restaurant in a very unassuming residential area but the food is anything but unassuming. Everything was delicious but the limoncello scallops were the star of the show! Huge plump perfectly cooked sea scallops with spinach in a lemony sauce so good I wanted to drink it when I was done

One of the best Italian restaurants that I've been to. The lobster ravioli is good, but I honestly prefer the Bolognese pasta (my personal preference). The rigatoni pasta in the Bolognese had the right amount of bounce/chew to it. The octopus (appetizer) was also quite nice! And as many have already commented, the portion size is huge - truly a delight! We came on a Tuesday night at 7:45pm and there was no wait time as there were several open tables. Definitely recommend if you are in Boston. Oh, and it is a cash-only place.
