Review Cafe Pino - Phoenix

Makayla Healy
I cannot recommend this place enough! I go between their rushes so I’ve never seen it during dinner, but their patio and overall vibe is simply outstanding. Beautiful foliage and great music playing always compliment the delicious food and fresh espresso drinks. I always get the Monaco salad although, the beef carpaccio appetizer is a winner too. The service is personable and timely; they remembered me after two visits! I honestly feel like I’m enjoying my own tiny corner of Rome whenever I dine here. Do yourself a favor and visit while the weather is nice :)

We have been coming to Pino since we moved to Arizona. It is always delicious, fresh, scratch cooking with wonderful recommendations from the owners, especially their desserts. We love the salads, lasagna and Branzino. There really isn’t any restaurant like it. Where else can you get wild salmon and homemade beef minestrone? We recommend it for any occasion. Its location is also helpful, near the Harkins 101 movie theater but you don’t have to go to the movies to enjoy a delicious and healthy meal!

We came in one hour before closing and we’re seated, ordered, served and finished eating by within 40 minutes. Everyone was welcoming and the owner stopped by to make sure we enjoyed our food. I would definitely return here again! Our meals were fantastic and filling for a good price

Been coming here for years and love the food. They use quality ingredients and create genuine Mediteranean food without artificial fillers. The salads, wood-fired pizzas and entrees are all to my taste, and I'm very particular about food. Recently, I enjoyed a lunch special on the newly renovated patio and it was a bargain! I had a cup of soup, half sandwich and salad for, I think, $12 !! What a deal. Check it out!!

The food was great. The Atmosphere was great. The service was great. I had Penne Bolognese with meatballs as you can see in the photos and it was great. The flavor was right there and it tasted amazing. The portion size was also spot on. Not too much, and Not too little. Perfect. My aunt had Penne Alla Vodka with shrimp. She said it was amazing. Again, the flavor was there. The portion size again was spot on too. The focaccia bread was wonderful. The Service too was wonderful. They were on top of everything. Food comes out fast, Order is taken fast etc. Everything about this place is amazing. Highly Recommended for everyone in the Scottsdale area!!

I come here anytime I am in the area. Service is truly 5 star, food is always perfect, Ceasar salad is to die for. I highly recommend Pino.

Pino is simply the best restaurant in Scottsdale/N. Phoenix. It is delicious, honest, gourmet food, unlike all the mass-produced franchises in the area. The menu has so many options and the daily specials are more extensive than most other restaurants entire menus! I feel like I am in Italy when I go there. They will sometimes just cook for you because they get to know all their loyal customers. Their staff remains constant year after year and they are a great team. People may overlook how special it is because it is adjacent to the Harkins theaters, but that just makes it so convenient for seeing movies. Do NOT miss Pino. Simply the best.

This place was so good! They were definitely expensive but everything was delicious! The best spaghetti and meatballs I've ever had!! Only negative was they charge for bread and oil and they didn't tell us that. It was delicious though and I will definitely be back!

I have loved Pino for years, their food is delicious, the service (including the owners!) are professional and kind. And now my daughter-in-law likes it, so we go together. We celebrated her birthday last night and had a blast!

Visiting Scottsdale from Michigan. Found this awesome restaurant and enjoyed it very much! Paco suggested the scallops over spaghetti noodles with garlic and olive oil. The Salad Monaco was the best! Bomba for dessert. The entire meal was delicious! The service was great too! Thanks to Paco, Lisa, Christina and Mickey for a great dining experience and being such a wonderful team. We bought two huge pieces of biscotti to go with our morning coffee. Can't wait to visit again!!

What an amazing experience! Authentic Italian food. The atmosphere is curated to be both modern and soulful. Wonderful menu choices. Fabulous pastas and pizza. Love the attentive service, it’s like you’re in the Old Country the way you’re treated. Five stars!

Pino We had no idea about this neighborhood gem even though we walked ta it many times. We also found out that their first original spot is still in Paris and I believe they opened up more restaurants. As you will be able to see from my photos, if you scratch them, they have smell-o-vision. There wasn’t anything that I didn’t like. Paco talked us into trying out their new desert called “the bomb”and it was “the bomb”. I usually don’t eat desserts but this was good. It was fun to sit down and relax, have a glass of vine before we went to the theater that is right next-door. We absolutely adore Paco, Lisa and Micky, it won’t be our last time. I WOULD RECOMMEND

I can’t say enough about this place. From the owner(whom works every day) to the staff, they are second to none. The place is clean, clean, clean. The food is amazing and absolutely anyone can find something they love on the menu that caters to everyone on earth. Walter is Great and Pino is The Best!

This restaurant is a gem! Very warm welcome by the people at the restaurant and they make sure that your visit has a personal touch to it. The food is out of the world. Took the server’s suggestions and it was hands down the best pizza that I have had in a long long time. One of my favourite places for pizza in Phoenix!

PINO was superb! I've lived nearby for a bit and finally ventured to PINO for HH and dinner. The staff is super friendly and helpful. The food was and is amazing. And the atmosphere is great. If only it weren't so hot outside, I would have sat outside, because their set up is so nice. This is a great spot. The owners and managers even treated us to some after dinner drinks on the house. This is THE place to go. Whether it be breakfast, lunch, dinner, happy hour, date night, etc. I will be back!

Yum. 😋 Great authentic food and great service Italian style. We came here for a birthday and left very happy with satisfied everything!! Save room for dessert and coffee - the tiramasu is delicious and the banana split is not for beginners.

This is our very favorite restaurant in Arizona! Best pizza from the brick fire oven. Extensive menu with a cosmopolitan flair (pastas, salads, cheese plates, banana split for 2!!!). Nice selection of wines and gourmet coffees. Consistent excellent food and customer service over the years. Quick service if you are going to the movies! Very cool and classy and top-notch. I am always proud to take guests here.

Just left this place where we wanted to eat after a movie. We entered and the manager was asleep behind the bar, not a great start. We ordered (from the manager)a mushroom pizza for one of my boys and a pasta dish for the other. I had a ceviche and asparagus soup. The pizza came and there were no mushrooms which we mentioned to our waiter but told him it was fine, they'd just eat the cheese. When the pasta didn't arrive we mentioned that to our waiter and the manager came storming out and was visibly angry. He denied that we had ordered the pasta and said "I can cook some mushrooms for you in a minute", sarcastically. I said it was fine and that the boys would share the pizza and he threw his hands up and said "well why did you get me out here then?" and stormed off. I NEVER asked for him to come out. He NEVER apologized for his mistakes and we decided to leave immediately. He charged us full price despite the fact we hadn't eaten anything and had simply sat and been shouted at. I simply don't understand how anyone could say the service is good here. My husband and I have had similar but not nearly as bad experiences with this man before. How could he treat a mom and her 2 sons like this when we did absolutely nothing wrong? I'm so upset and obviously will never, ever eat here again.

We stopped in on our vacation. The food was awesome and we meet the owner and that completed the experience.
