    Wine tasting was a wonderful experience. Great food and service. Pairings were fantastic. I wish there was a course that was more veggie forward but I figured out quickly it was the cuisine of the area. Would definitely go to another. Great food and company

    The service and ambience were great. This is my third time back at Pelino’s and this meal wasn’t nearly as good. Both pasta dishes were cold and the panna cotta was overcooked.

    This was our first time trying Pelino's. What an exceptional dining experience and a neighborhood gem! From Maria's welcome to the knowledge and exceptional service from our server, Brianna, it was outstanding overall! If we had the Chef's Tasting Menu, there would have been no way we would have been able to decide; there were too many great offerings. Foccaccia, Bruschetta con Tartufo, Risotto All' Oro, Insalata di Marzo, Rinascita, Gnocchi alla Sorrentina, Carborara, Cacio e Pepe, Tiramisu and Pace Amore e Cioccolato... Squisito!

    The pasta was toothie and undercooked. While I liked and understood the concept. Outside of the focaccia and oil the food didn’t “wow” me.
