This is an incredible neighborhood jewel with the menu of a high end restaurant. Wonderful menu - creative approach to traditional Italian staples - ditto for the bar - amazing cocktail creations and great wine list - very glad I found Pino’s - now one of my favorite restaurants - don’t miss this if you live in Pittsburgh or are visiting the Burgh!

Our third time at Pinos, and as usual, outstanding! The chef never fails to impress with his culinary masterpieces. From the meatball appetizer to the pesto or the Bolognese, all so fantastic! Service is fantastic, ambience is great, drinks are perfect. If you pass this one up, you are missing out!

What a wonderful little place — staff very attentive. We had a wonderful mushroom bruschetta. Mom was not feeling well (dizzy) so we left early. The waitress was very gracious to ring us out quickly. We cannot wait to go back and to truly get dinner.

As always, excellent selection, preparation and presentation. My wife had the sea bass with risotto. I had the gnocchetti, but with tomato/basil sauce and a meatball. both were delicious and plentiful. Had the grilled octopus as an appetizer. Was perfectly prepared. Only gripe. Had a cappuccino which was too weak with too much water. But all in all, a nearly perfect dinner.

Amazing little family owned restaurant that puts out a consistently good menu. Unfortunately last night there were a couple featured entrees out of stock and service was a bit slow with a full house. However, what we did order was delicious and our waitress was warm and kind on a cold winter night. Don’t miss the tiramisu!

Starting off with the positives, the food was very good as we have come to expect. However, we had an issue with getting our table that we had reserved and then getting prompt service. We rarely have to go somewhere after we eat but in this case we had to be somewhere at 9pm. We arrived at 7pm and were told it would be 10 minutes for our table. After asking 3 times we were finally sat at 7:30pm. Then it took another 15-20 minutes to establish who our server was. (I again had to ask the host). The stress of the delay ruined our experience. My wife and I like to go there as a “date night” typically, but last night we had an out of town guest in which made the experience even worse. Again, food was great, how the staff handled everything was not good. Feel free to pass along to the restaurant. Chad Slencak 412-855-8163

The chef’s contemporary Italian cuisine is delicious and extremely well prepared. All pasta is homemade to perfection, sauces-sautés-gravies were so rediculously delicious, a wonderful wine list. Our party of 4 was very happy dining at this neighborhood gem. We appreciated the effort and results from Chef Pino and his kitchen. First time there, going back ASAP !

Pino’s felt like the perfect combination of a date night destination and cozy neighborhood spot. We booked reservations for our anniversary but I would feel just as comfortable popping in on a Friday night for a drink or a glass of wine and dinner at the bar. Service was good, not overwhelming, kind and friendly, made us feel at home.

This is a amazing restaurant. The service was attentive and very helpful. The black Manhattan was amazing. The fried artichokes were light and scrumptious. The main course was raviolis were filled with veal spinach and Ricotta. The pasta was tender and done perfectly the Apple galette was amazing You will not be disappointed. I will be back Thank you for a wonderful meal

Wife & I enjoy a fine meal at Pino's after a PITT Football Home Game. Win or lose, the wine list & menu have just what is right for a relaxing evening. House made pasta paired with an excellent veal bologesne or the Pesto Cream sauce scores a touchdown with us. Toasting the PITT win, with a glass of Toscana helps unwinding from stadium crowds.

We stopped in early after shopping in shadyside and we were the only ones in the restaurant on a Tuesday at 4:30. I enjoyed the quiet of the restaurant and the wonderful smell of food cooking. Our dinners were very good. Service was good but a little slow since we were the only people in there until 5:00 when 2 other couples came in. It really has become our go to place especially when we are looking for a restaurant that opens on the earlier side. We love their bread, and their meatballs as an appetizer. It’s a small place and we have gone on a weekend and it’s packed.

Service is always lovely at Pinot's - from host to bartender. Artichoke appetizer is heavenly. The roasted garlic could use a little side of jam or sauce to cut the power of the garlic. My butternut squash salad was delish but unfortunately, the chicken added was rather dried out. Small misses at the end of the day. Will return. Pino's is also an easy place to dine alone at the bar.
