What a magnificent dining experience!!! Every detail was fabulous. Chef is super friendly and laid back, nothing like the pretentious TV celebrity chefs. He uses advanced molecular techniques and pairs them with time tested artisanal methods like koji aging, freeze drying, and fermentation to achieve wildly delicious dishes that are works of art to the eye and palate! Tonight’s experience was cozy, comfortable, and exquisite. The beverage pairings were also spectacular. I’m excited to see how they continue to innovate and shine as a beacon of fine boutique tasting menu dining!!! Well worth the wait and will be sure to return! Bravissimo!

We just love it here, again and again. Excellent menu with so many options, nightly specials, and wonderful service. Highlights of this evening were the artichoke appetizer, pork chop entree, and pasta bolognese. And a warm and delicious tamarind hot toddy from the non-alcoholic cocktail menu. There are so many options in Pittsburgh but we’re compelled to just keep coming to Pino’s. We always leave happy!
