    Great service, great food, great wine. We went on Christmas Day about 4:30pm. It wasn't crowded, it was warm inside the place which was good since it was cold outside and we walked about 1/2 mile to get there. The waiter was very good. Definitely will be back.

    Landini is a fave of ours. The lower King Street location plus the old world ambience make it a charming experience. For the best bargain in Old Town go for lunch and order a $15 panini. Accompanied by a terrific side of potato salad plus an arugula salad - and preceded with bread and olive oil - you’ll leave neither hungry nor poor!
