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!
