Always outstanding across the board. The service, the drinks, the wine selection, and the amazing food—all of it is tremendous. The winter specials are great this year. Totally unique. However, I almost always get the bolognese or the pork chop… I’m boring. But you can’t beat perfection. Pino’s is a must try. Chef is an absolute gem.

This place is a gem! The owner is so welcoming and Melissa our waitress made our whole experience so personal! It was Christmas Eve and a special night for us as a family to be all together and Senti showcased how good Pittsburgh food can be with their crowd pleasing appetizers and the duck which was to die for. Even though it was 9.30 on the night before Christmas we felt very non rushed through our meal and thank the staff for working so hard to make our night so memorable!
