text: I have eaten at Lombardinos a number of times since I moved to Madison in When you enter the restaurant it looks like an old school Midwestern style Sicilian place but the food transcends Tuscan style cuisine with a focus on locally available ingredients it has never disappointed I have heard the original was average but a local favorite It is anything but average now and I consider one of the best upscale dining experiences in Madison Still a local favorite reservations are essentail Has a nice bar for waiting though
