We elected to sit outside on the covered patio as it was still a comfortable evening for later September. Once it was determined who our server was (there seemed to be some confusion), we were taken care of, and Adam did a good job checking in on us both after our apps and then entrees were delivered, as the evening went on.

We had a fantastic meal at Pino’s and the service was first rate. We started off with Calamari which was superb. Three of us had the Tomato Basil Pasta and another had the Shrimp Pasta. Everything was cooked to perfection and had a great taste. We ended the evening with Profiteroles which were delicious. Our server had a smile on her face the entire evening and Pino, the owner checked on us several times to make sure everything was fine. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you want to be treated well and have delicious food!!!

If you are looking for an eloquent restaurant that makes you fell that you may have been transported to the 1940's without the decor feeling dated in a negative way, this is your place. The service could not have been better or the service people nicer. They did not hover, yet were attentive. There was a nice blend of older diners looking for an appropriate location to celebrate a significant anniversary along with Gen X'ers and Gen Z's with great taste. Oh, and if you have never been to Mount Washington in Pittsburgh, LeMont has one of the more spectacular city and river views in the World.
