   Been several times to Pendolino.. Food is good.. Atmosphere great. It was the end of the night & the restaurant sent the cue to the handful of remaining tables that they were done for the night.. Lights were raised & music was stopped & waiter asked if we wanted dessert & gave us our check all mid meal. Surely the management doesn’t condone these ‘subtle hints’ they are ready to close up & want all guests to leave.

   Food was great however the service was pretty terrible. The waitress seemed annoyed to be there, acted like she wanted to rush us out but at the same time seemed the be actively avoiding our table most of the night.

   We went to Pendolino often when it first opened - many times sitting at the bar - truly enjoyed all aspects of the experience. In the past 6+ months we have experienced a consistent decline in service when sitting at a table - last night being the worst. We sat at the counter (you can watch what is taking place in the kitchen) and were largely ignored by our server. After quite some time we put in our drink order which took over 20 minutes to arrive. Our server did not return during that time to take our order or check on us (drink was brought by another person). Gin martini, no food. We finally got the food order in and it was another 20 minutes before the appetizers arrived. We watched as meal after meal was prepared - guessing if the order was ours. We received the last meal that was prepared in the kitchen - over an hour after we had arrived. The food was delicious but the pasta (I have had previously) was under cooked and stuck together. I had wanted a glass of wine with the pasta but server wasn’t around to order from. I am hoping the restaurant will focus on improving its service as many of our friends had the same experience and are no longer dining there.

   The food was delicious. We had the bbq octopus, calamari and the burrata….all were amazing! For dinner we had the ravioli, halibut and the shrimp again all were delicious. Great service and atmosphere. The drinks were great as well ~ made by the cute bartender Gabby. We will be back.

    This was our second visit to Pendolino. We were with another couple, and three of us had a pizza, which we all enjoyed. Those who got the Caesar salad enjoyed it as well. The spaghetti and meatballs got a good review, but I thought the carbonara was just okay. The service was fair. In summary, this restaurant is decent, but I think there several other Italian restaurants nearby that are better.
