Since opening the door to our home, this humble Italian restaurant in Alexandria, we have been blessed with the company of hundreds of curious diners in search of something more.

Couples on first dates relax and share cocktails at the hand-crafted wooden bar. The soft, smooth music allows the conversation to flow. And should it stop, our friendly bartenders know how to break the ice.

Lovers celebrating an anniversary sit opposite one another at candle-lit tables and raise their glasses to past happiness and future love. Our waiters ensure they are well taken care of without intruding on those special moments.

Our menu, which uses traditional Italian produce put together with a little panache’, was designed to be shared. Small and large groups celebrate birthdays, homecomings, Christmas parties and corporate functions at our long table, where share plates are passed around and no-one is forgotten.

We can’t wait to meet you.

Have been to Pino's twice and both times has been a wonderful experience. It's been full but not overcrowded with some of the best service levels I have experienced. Atmosphere is one of the winners and often difficult to get a Fri or Sat night booking. Food is exceptional with a good choice but not exhaustive. I felt the $89pp menu was a bit underdone and unlikely to do that again but the quality of food was excellent maybe the quantity fell short...

I'm not one to leave negative reviews or give negative feedback at restaurants, but we were really disappointed this time. We chose the chefs selection 89pp. They told us we were having lamb on a bed of vegetables with salad for the main and I ordered red wine - but they brought out fish with a side of beetroot. I said I was really looking forward to some red meat so they said they would give us the wagyu instead - however they ended up serving us lamb which looked nothing like the lamb cutlets I saw another couple eat. I suspect we got an off cut - it was fatty with practically no flavour, no sauce nor garnish. They also paired it with the beetroot that was meant for the fish. I cannot eat beetroot and I was not expecting it so it went uneaten. The risotto was very average, no meat, very heavy on cheese and oil. Same for the straciaella, very heavy cheese and oil, little meat. The seafood pasta was reasonably nice, but nothing special. Lastly it took exceptionally long for them to prepare and serve the meals. We were there 2 hours and 15 minutes. The total bill we $250 for two. For the money this was the most disappointing meal I have had this year.

Gorgeous look and feel to this place and we went on recommendation of two different sets of friends. Food wasn’t terrible but it wasn’t good enough. Kingfish sliced just not thin enough with bland dressing; risotto served lukewarm, rich but unremarkable flavour; dull Murray cod and potatoes that was acclaimed by the waiter turned out to be over cooked, verging on burnt. It wasn’t the worst meal but it was far from really good, and not in line with prices which are up there. Extensive wine list but expensive, hard to find a decent red under $100. We may have caught it on a bad night but wouldn’t return.

Great ambience & service, from the moment we entered to our farewell. Food was delicious. We enjoyed the Ciao Ciao cocktail which was deliciously refreshing. They played a wonderful choice of music, great playlist. Left dinner at Pinos feeling happily sated and buzzing from the good vibes.
