    The service and ambience were great. This is my third time back at Pelino’s and this meal wasn’t nearly as good. Both pasta dishes were cold and the panna cotta was overcooked.

    This was our first time trying Pelino's. What an exceptional dining experience and a neighborhood gem! From Maria's welcome to the knowledge and exceptional service from our server, Brianna, it was outstanding overall! If we had the Chef's Tasting Menu, there would have been no way we would have been able to decide; there were too many great offerings. Foccaccia, Bruschetta con Tartufo, Risotto All' Oro, Insalata di Marzo, Rinascita, Gnocchi alla Sorrentina, Carborara, Cacio e Pepe, Tiramisu and Pace Amore e Cioccolato... Squisito!

    The pasta was toothie and undercooked. While I liked and understood the concept. Outside of the focaccia and oil the food didn’t “wow” me.

    We love Pelinos. Beautiful place, beautiful menu. We were given the loveliest table by the window. Our server was great. Food was delicious but we all agreed that the pastas were almost cold, served lukewarm at best. We would love it more if the pasta was heated through. Otherwise a fantastic experience

    Food was delicious, server very knowledgeable. When my wife was less than happy with a dish, they insisted upon a delicious substitution. We will be back-even enjoyed the corner window booth!
