Lino @ Forum | Versatile Event Space Singapore | Beautiful Rustic Event Venue in Orchard Road

Located at L1. Had a pleasant lunch experience at LINO, thanks to the service crew and chefs. It was my pregnant wife’s birthday, and we have a young toddler with us who was sleeping. We really appreciate moving us to a quieter seat in the restaurant, with sofa seating so that my toddler can rest while we dine. Extra care was taken by giving us the high chair and kids cutleries. We ordered the kids’ meal. What’s available for kids’ meal: choice of bolognese spaghetti or pizza (salame/hawaiian/one more can’t rmb), apple/orange juice, gelato or solbet (vanilla/chocolate/pistachio). The crew made sure that our food don’t have alcohol when we ordered - thank you for paying attention to our needs. We had iberico pork (alcohol was in the sauce and separated for us), crabmeat risotto, kids meal Hawaiian pizza. Pork was specially made well done, and it tasted really good. Sufficient fats for the biting, and it wasn’t too chewy. Risotto rice grains can be softer as a personal preference. The addition of peas doesn’t seem like a good choice. But the crabmeat was plentiful and good. Taste wise ok as well. Hawaiian pizza was good with plenty of ham as well. Fries were a bit too much for us, but the truffle mayo was a good addition. We were finally surprised with a huge tiramisu (no alcohol), as a birthday surprise for my wife! Overall a pleasant experience, will come back again.

My second visit to Lino restaurant, the ambience was really cozy; I absolutely loved my experience here! The food was tasty and the staff were friendly. I liked the Vongole Linguine, Braised lamb shank (which was nice and tender), Mussels, and Prawn (the seafood was really fresh). The pizzas also tasted good with a thin crust. For dessert, the Tiramisu was a must-try with its rich and creamy flavor. I will definitely bring more friends here. Thank you, Chef Dalton, for all the food recommendations.

My dining experience at LINO was truly enjoyable. The food and ambience were great. It’s a relaxed yet stylish Italian setting that’s perfect for catching up with friends. We shared the Vanamei Prawn Spaghetini and Crab Risotto, both of which were rich in umami and very tasty. My own order, the Penne alla Vodka with burrata, was excellent. The penne was perfectly al dente and tasted handmade. The creamy burrata complemented the pink sauce beautifully. It was really a high quality taste. For dessert, I enjoyed the panna cotta very much. It was smooth, creamy, and a satisfying way to end the meal. I got to try the tiramisu and tortino and they were good too. The service was attentive and helpful, which made our time there even more pleasant. The staff were friendly and responsive to our requests, creating a welcoming environment throughout our meal. Overall, it was a great dining experience with delicious food, lovely ambience, and good service. The location makes it a convenient spot for lunch or dinner in the Orchard area. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for solid Italian fare in a casual yet refined setting.

Came on a Friday and they had a live jazz band! Chill atmosphere and great food, everything we ate was good. The mushroom pizza, iberico pork secreto and duck confit were a hit! The clams from the vongole linguine were large, fresh and no bad taste or sand. Service team were all very friendly, always topping up our water and checking in on the food. Definitely a place to come back!

Enjoyed a wonderful pre-Xmas special lunch menu at Lino SG yesterday. (Although/admittedly, it was too much food!), every dish was well composed/ prepared w comforting starters to the creative twist on classics. The mussels w kissable apple sauce was delightful opener and the Ecuador prawn encased in a golden pastry shell was a real crowd pleaser – delish! (Pre-main) The smoked salmon trout with clams & Champagne sauce was a standout - aromatic, and beautifully balanced. The well-cooked trout had a gentle smokiness married its natural sweetness, and the clams added a briny lift. The champagne sauce with touch of herbs bound components together with nice acidity, light & aromatic in a way felt both classic & modern. It’s ‘the dish’ that prepares one for the next course. My main, and in contrast, the French guinea fowl leg confit with chestnut & morel stuffing was the rustic opposite. The confit was well cooked: deeply savoury, nutty and rich. The chestnut-morel stuffing added an earthy, faint sweetness & spiced up with pepper sauce, making every bite comforting. The weakest link for me was the cuttlefish – tough/a tad chewy for my liking. Flavour wise was alright. Service was warm & attentive in genuine way that makes everyone at the table felt taken care of. The team checked in at the right moments and kept the service smooth sailing throughout. Lino’s space is open, spacious, and exudes contemporary sense of ease - ideal for a casual lunch/dinner catch up or a quiet solo meal. Overall, a consistently delightful experience at Lino Forum. Keep up the great work team, Lino!
