We were a little disappointed with our last trip to this usually very fine restaurant. They had a large party and the staff was probably stretched too thin, but service was slow and inattentive and my cheese-topped pasta had been left under the broiler a tad too long.

The food was fantastic. The bread was especially flavorful though the soup, main entrees, and dessert were all special. Pino's also has good wine list with some very... more
