absolutely delicious food, very good service and the food came fast, will definitely be back
A hidden gem! Delicious Italian food at fair prices. Went here with a few friends over the weekend, and everyone left full and satisfied.
This place took me on a culinary journey to Italy with every bite: from the exquisite pizza crust and its irresistible toppings to the canneloni with their delicious sauce, and the delightful garlic bread, it was truly magical. The desserts, especially the tiramisu and cannolis, were the highlight of it all. Classic Italian cuisine at its finest, a solid 10/10. I'm confident we'll be back for more.
The throw-back informational placemats about Italy, the panoramic scenes of Italy in the outside seating area, and the owner! create an atmosphere for a fun meal out. The owner took our order. I ordered fettuccini Alfredo. He looked at me in shock. "McDonald's makes fettuccini Alfredo! You get that anywhere * I come from a U.S. big city on the east coast so I'm comfortable with assertive direct communication. I started laughing. He said he'd make me something from off the menu--a habanero avocado, pistachio sauce with bucatini. "Would you like that?" He asked. I said "of course, and is there a side order of sausage?". He said, "Oh no. My dinners are big. You don't need sausage. If you eat everything, I'll bring you sausage if you want later. You must have garlic bread!" I and my table mates are laughing at his largess, so we all ordered the garlic bread. Wonderful food and a great evening out if you can appreciate a larger than life personality.
Seriously. OH. MY. GOD. The food is nothing short of fabulous. What’s a better word that fabulous? Seriously. After every bite was “mmmm”. The service was Devine. The owner sat with us and chatted. Bella, his dog, so cute! She was so welcoming as well. Hand made desserts and sauces and more. We will be back. If you haven’t eaten here before, you need to!
We were just passing through Trail and stoped there for a quick dinner. Food was really good. Service fast and polite. We would stop here again for a good meal... so I recommend.
Arrived in Trail today and so delighted I found Pinos for lunch! The owner is from Sicily and he makes real authentic food! Had the spaghetti and garlic toast. Even got 2 roses from the owner ! Thank you I will be back for live music on Friday & Sat
Where do I begin?? My husband and I met my two oldest children in Trail to visit with my youngest who lives there. On our last night together, we decided to go to Pinos for dinner. Are we ever glad that we did! Us girls were brought beautiful red roses by Pino and were greeted so warmly by himself and our lovely server, Adhi. Our food was incredible (I ordered a veal dish) and everyone raved about how delicious their meals were. Pino even suggested a red wine to my daughters that they very much enjoyed. We had a great conversation with Pino and learned a bit about his home town in Italy and about the decisions that led him to now living in Trail. We even got to see photos of his cute pup and shared a lot of lively banter with himself and Adhi. We ordered the Tiramisu to share and we all agreed that it was the BEST that we have ever had. We were brought a shot of Limoncello for the table and were very grateful for the kind gesture. We will definitely be back, every time we come back to visit our daughter and appreciate the memorable evening!
