Pino's Place

Wow, great find! Great food and they were happy to seat us at 9 pm. (Just left another restaurant whose kitchen closed before we got there, at 8:30). My friend & I shared the small cheesy bread. It was HUGE, and very tasty.My friend had traditional spaghetti & meatballs & loved it. So big, she took half home.I had the chicken Marsala, loved it! Highly recommended. Very nice staff.

The food was good. Chicken Parm with spaghetti. I ate my whole meal without water as the sever ( only one) had three tables and never checked on me during the meal. I asked for bread and was charged $1 for each piece of bread. Just to be clear I came at 1 pm for lunch and was surprised to find no lunch specials. I can see this restaurant getting pretty loud during busy times. Overall good food but I would not go out of my way to come here.

I am in love with this place. The dough on the pizza is alway thick and tender. The ingredients are very good quality. Be sure to stop in for happy hour from 3-6 during the week. I had already eaten, but had to try a slice of my husband's delicious pizza. You can't go wrong with anything here.

Pinos is close by in my neighborhood and a go to place. Very good pizza, great Caesar salad (including anchovies) and the very best pasta al formaggi (Mac and cheese). Come before 6:00 because it usually gets busy around 5:30pm.

It was hit or miss. Started out a bit rough. Firstly, they have got to do something about their water. I don't ever complain about Colorado water, but dang, this stuff was a bit dank! We didn't drink our waters, and ordered iced tea instead (which was dumb on our part, since they use their water to brew the tea). We thought the tea would mask the taste. Nope! Just skip anything to do with their tap water! Gosh I'm really on a tangent about water.Moving on to our appetizer. We had calamari which was unfortunately very rubbery. The breading was nice. It was crispy and not burnt, and the marinara was also simple and tasty. The bonus was some fried zucchini strips, but I would skip this app. Now to the good stuff! I got the burrata pizza with prosciutto and arugula. It was very good! The pizza crust is delicious! Nice and crispy, excellent chew, and airy bubbles. Perfect crust in my opinion. I was sad that the burrata wasn't a bit more creamy and sumptuous. It just tasted like plain mozz and no stracciatella.My son had the pappardelle con ragu and it was incredible. Best dish on the table.My daughter got fettuccine Alfredo and it was standard creamy cheesy chicken and noodles. Nothing outstanding, but it was good. Chicken was a tad over cooked.My husband got the seafood chioppino which threw me for a loop when we saw that it was over linguine--maybe we missed that part of the entree description, because we were expecting the traditional stew with maybe some crostini on the side. It was just okay. Sauce was mediocre and once again, squid was way over cooked and rubbery.Finally, for dessert we ordered some cannolis, and while I am not a big fan of cannolis, these were arguably the best I have had. They were made to order and it showed in how crispy the shells were. So many places make them ahead of time and the texture suffers. This cannoli was perfect. It still had that sort of grittiness from the ricotta (which is what I don't like about them) but way smoother than most and the flavor was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend.When it came to service, ALL of the staff we encountered were professional, polite, friendly, helpful, and seemed to sincerely enjoy their job. That alone is worth another visit. We are happy to find a new Italian joint, and while some items really suffered, several of them sang and we'll be back to try some more menu items!

First time trying, Got the food to go. Pizza and pasta. Good food and service , will try again.

This was our first time checking out Pinos. We started with the calamari which was great and then had pizza and pasta. Good portion sizes for the price!

I forgot my pictures! This place was nice and quaint. I ordered the beef ravioli and it came out cheesy and delicious with a nice slice of bread. The perfect dinner! The service was great and I cannot wait to come back to try the pizza!

This place is not far from my home so I thought I'd give it a go. The hostess seemed a bit flustered but she was quick to greet and even gave me a table since I was by myself. My waitress was kind and friendly, as well.It took a good while to get my water and my Moscow mule. The mule had a good kick but was also light in taste and refreshing. I ordered the burrata bruschetta and Mediterranean salad to start. Curious as to what they offered in these arenas.The burrata bruschetta was more arugula than tomato which was alarming, a mess of a presentation. Heavy on the oil and lacking in flavor. The mozzarella was good and fresh and when I added a little salt, it brightened the flavor and gave it a nuttiness. The salad was... well I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry. A whole tomato was split up on it and it was juvenile at best in presentation. I wanted to believe this would be good but once again flavor was lacking. I found four total small olives, most were cocktail pimento stuffed olives. There just wasn't much to it at all that could justify nearly $10 for it. I noticed a lack of flow and communication in the open kitchen, lack of table touch from the waitress. No music was playing. This place does have lovely decor and set up, though. I ordered the chicken piccata and had high hopes for a good Italian dish. When it arrived I already knew I was in for it. Real mashed potatoes but they were fairly dry and had no real presentation to them. The veggies consisted of carrot sticks and two small florets of broccoli. The veggies were either not cooked enough or cooked too much, puzzling for the little pile. The chicken was moist and cooked well, however the breading was soggy and the sauce was lacking in flavor too. Here's where a lovely lady named Gia stepped in, noticing my crestfallen look. She offered to comp the dishes and give me something else free of charge. In an effort to try out something else. I agreed. So my new order was focaccia bread and dips. The dips consisted of fresh pesto, marinara, and olive oil and balsamic. Then the jumbo shells stuffed with ricotta and spinach and baked in marinara with cheese.The focaccia was not focaccia. Truth be told, I don't know what it was. I felt gaslit by the bread as it had the texture but there was no flavor. It felt strange to eat. The pesto and the marinara lacked flavor and seasoning as well. This was disappointing. I got bubbling hot jumbo shells and prayed my hunger would be sated. Alas, it wasn't. Gia understood my frustration with the dishes and lack of flavor and seasoning. Acknowledging that the older crowd may have influenced the lack of salt and seasoning. Hearing everything I said and agreeing heavily. Asking me to give it some time and to come back to try again once they had this talk.I do have high hopes for this place but I can't advise going for the food as much, it really does lack. Elevate, have the chefs taste, and get some delicious Italian out.

Enjoyed a wonderful lunch yesterday, stuffed shells were delicious.REALLY appreciated the amazing service for the only host/server/bartender/busboy working a crowded dining room!
