My friends and I loved this place. All of our food was really good and the service was good as well. My server pointed out all of the options that were safe and already GF and then showed me any modifications that could be made. We heard other people around town talking about how Lovina was the place to go for any dietary restrictions. I had the risotto with prawns, the beet salad, and the fried polenta. I would recommend all of it!

This was my least favorite meal on our trip. The risotto was flavorless, the lasagna also pretty flavorless, and the cheesecake was disgusting... there's much better food in the area, and this was one of the most expensive..... not worth it...

The best bolognese I have ever had! I made it dirty with cheese and truffle butter…wow. I cannot recommend the menu enough, because the polenta bites and dip 😭. I’m sad I only ate here once. Will try to return. My friend order their new steak dish which was also 10/10.

Wonderful dinner! Safe, knowledgeable. Had the vegan lasagna which was delicious. Great tomato sauce, amazing mushrooms and the impossible meat was like the real thing. Also enjoyed the “cheesecake”. Loved the no tip!! Definitely will go again.

The staff is highly knowledgeable & the menu is marked clearly, so have no fear. Loving has a unique & flavorful twist on traditional dishes. The price includes the tip, a living wage, matching 401k, 30% profit sharing, paid vacation & family leave. Their employees take pride in their excellent service. I don't have many. photos, despite eating in once & getting takeout another night. Why? It was so delicious that we dove into our food. We had the fried portabello mushroom bites with umami sauce, impossible lasagna with gluten-free noodles, heirloom tomatoes with whipped burrata, wild prawn & octopus ceviche day boat scallop risotto. I’m not sure if my husband's entrees were GF: the seared black cod & beef tenderloin medallions which could be cut with a fork. You can dine at fresco & which seems to be a favorite of many locals.

Great vegan/GF lasagna, vegan/GF meatballs, broccolini with sliced almonds (no umami sauce as it contains soy sauce). Staff was aware of cross contact. Great atmosphere, delicious food!
