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!

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 !
