Reviews for Pino's Authentic Italian

08/04/2011 - Don't waste your money!
My husband and I went on a Saturday night. It is located in a strip mall so we were not expecting too much from this place.

We ordered Bruschetta for an appetizer. It was soggy. The tomatoes were mushy. Not a great way to start a meal.

For dinner we ordered a pizza to share. It took close to an hour for our pizza to arrive at our table. Not once did the server apologize for the slow service. Nor did she explain why it was taking so long when there were only 4 other tables filled.

During our wait we witnessed another table ask to speak to the owner. She was told to wait by the bar and he would come out. He never did and she ended up leaving.

Another couple got sick of waiting for their food. They told the waiter they were leaving and started towards the door. The owner, Pino, started yelling at them in Italian from the kitchen (across the room).

The pizza we ordered was flavorless. I have had better pizza at Pizza Hut with less drama!

The only good thing I can say about this place is that the tiramisu was very good.

But the bad food, tacky decor, and rude behavior were not worth the $50 and 1 1/2 hours we wasted there.

The house salad was tasteless. I think they forgot to add the balsamic vinegar to the oil. The atmosphere leaves alot to be desired. By turning the lights down and lighting the candles on the table (candles just sitting there not lit) they could create some ambiance. also by using cloth napkins they could add some class to the restaurant. if it were my place i would be willing to take the napkins home to wash if it meant adding to the atmosphere
