Lynora's Italian Kitchen — Restaurant in West Palm Beach

I am a former owner & cook of a few restaurants and I hate to write a negative but felt the need....I am sorry to say that lunch was a HUGE disappointment. For lunch I had the meatballs and spaghetti & wife had the eggplant Parmigiana sub. (hero). The sauce was EXTREMELY weak. 1st off, it was not even red, it was an orange color. Second it was like WATER. Pretty tasteless & runny like water. The meatballs were pretty much tasteless. I asked for a piece of bread originally to dip but the bread also tasted like it was dipped in water. I am not exaggerating. I thought maybe the cook did not drain the pasta well but I was wrong. My wife's eggplant parmigiana sub had a spot of sauce on her sandwich which was dry so she asked for a side of sauce but its was the same watered down sauce so the pasta not being drained enough was NOT the issue. She did enjoy the type of bread they had but that was the only positive along with the pleasant blonde girl at the register who is always a pleasure to deal with. If I tell you that the sauce was worse than any store bought sauce I have had, I am not exaggerating about that either. (Im sorry). On another note, the spaghetti & meatballs was the special & the dish honestly had a couple ounces of pasta in it. My suggestion is to give a couple more ounces of pasta that cost a few pennies so that the customer might say, "wow" good value & feel content when finished. We all know how inexpensive a few ounces of pasta cost even today with inflated prices. To reiterate, the watered down sauce ruined both meals enough for me to take 10 mins of my time to write this review. I KNOW you guys can do better, just not sure if we will return after dining here a 1/2 dozen times....

Many of you may have already visited here or are (at least) familiar with this restaurant. Like many of the places I have "favorited," I can't believe it's taken us so long to visit!

We walked in and were greeted by the most friendly and enthusiastic associate named Anna. I told Anna that this was our first time visiting and picked her brain about what her favorite dishes were. She DEFINITELY DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! By the end of our conversation, she came up with an appetizer (pictured in this review) that wasn't all the way on the menu, although I urged her to add it because of how spectacular ot turned out. Anna took the Bruschetta and added fresh mozzarella and drizzled balsamic glaze on top......WOW! YUM! We ordered Rigitoni with vodka sauce and the Pollo parmigiana (chicken parm), and both were spectacular, and we would certainly order them again.

The inside is completely casual with seating inside and out. It's a really cool vibe inside with the front doors of the restaurant being roll-up or garage style. So neat. When you come in, you check out the menu and then order at the front, and they bring it out to your table, or you can order to-go.

I'm excited about visiting again. We went in with some gift certificates purchased at Costco, which were an excellent deal ($100 for $75). The prices were so much more reasonable than our "regular" italian restaurants that we visit, we will probably shift and make this our new go-to italian spot.

It's definitely worth the drive from wherever you are and would make for a great "date night". Don't pass on this one!

Thanks again,Anna. Lynora's is lucky to have you, and we will be back to...

As I have just finished eating what was left of last night's pasta, cold straight out of the pan, I can completely say this is some of the best food I've had in a long time.

Who thought noticing this charming spot when leaving my UPS store would become a new go to place.

This is a prepared food "market", with a deli, that offers an option to sit at a table and eat. It is not table service, although the guy at the counter does it all with a smile. He will bring your food to the table but there is a self help station with water cooler, cups, rolled silverware in dishtowel napkins & an amazing assortment of infused gourmet oils to dip bread or dress pasta.

You should really taste the food first before adding anything. He got Bolognese wth a side of homemade meatballs, bread and licked the melamine bowls clean.

I don't do meat & the staff was so accommodating to make sure I didn't stumble upon anything with a hidden stock. The Lynora's tomato sauce had "meaty" mushrooms with flavor so good, I really did finish it cold for lunch.

Best part...Good wine at Market prices. We got a bottle of Amado Sur Malbec meritage for 20 bucks! Also a chilled wine & beer cooler complete with splits of Riondo prosecco for $9 for my brunch loving crowd.

The desserts. Oh the lemon marscapone cake will change your life. Of course there's cookies & cannolis too.

So whether you stop by for a wood fired pizza said to cook in 90 seconds, pick up some fresh pasta & homemade sauce to take home and pass off as your own or sit down to or enjoy one of a handful of cultivated daily specials with a salad at a table, this Lynora's market will be a...
