- KKymVIPPittsburgh •25 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoWe 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!More infoPino's Contemporary Italian Restaurant & Wine BarPrice: Expensive• Italian• Point Breeze•4.9
