    It was an unexpected delight to eat here. We ordered the 4 course meal and ordered 2 orders of the focaccia. One for starter and one for the soaking up the sauce . While the courses are small- don’t fret you’ll be full at the end. I think the trick is take your time- eat , talk and enjoy . Everything was simple but yet so complex . It was the simple things that took each course to the next level . The service is impeccable . Each course we both sampled eachother meals and were pleasantly surprised by everything . Highly recommend ! Every month they change their menu - and I’m already coming back next month

    My daughter & I had a great Mother/Daughter night out leaning to make pasta and enjoying a delicious 3-course meal at Pelino’s Pasta! It was fun to follow their great instructions to make homemade pasta dough and 4 pasta shapes! I had fun taking my dough home to make tender pasta for our Sunday dinner! The three course meal was delicious and just the right amount of food! Ending the experience with tiramisu was the perfect finish to a fantastic night of fun and food!

    Amazing experience in the pasta making class once again! My daughter and her friends attended for her 18th birthday and loved every minute! I have been to this and other events, as well the restaurant and gelato/sandwich cafe and all are fabulous!
