"A lovely plate of linguine alio e olio, roughly translated as 'swimming in garlicky olive oil,' is given extra snap by the inclusion of tangy bits of anchovy. The noodles are long and strong, making the big spoon a handy socket for twirling them on a fork."

"Snail salad is popular throughout Rhode Island, but I've never seen the dense, sweet meat of the ocean snail (aka whelk) so honored as it is in this simple preparation."
Michael Stern
"Unable to choose between meatballs and sausage on the linguine, we asked for both. The meatball was moist and beefy; the sausage was strangely dry but vividly spiced."
Michael Stern
"Atwells Avenue is lined with Italian restaurants. Andino's is a good one -- polite but not too fancy and moderately priced (especially at lunch)."
Michael Stern
"You likely will want to take advantage of the valet parking. It's rare to find a good spot on the street."
Michael Stern
"Chairs are lined up on the sidewalk in front of Andino's, where smokers are welcome to light up using house matchbooks."
Michael Stern
"The walls of Andino's are a collection of Italian-American pop-culture iconography. If you are a fan of the Sopranos TV show, you might remember that Tony had this mug shot of Sinatra on the wall in his office."
