    It was hard to decide what to order from such a diverse menu. But when we finally decided, everything was delicious. Our server, Robert, took great care of us. They helped make our friend's birthday celebration memorable.

    Living in Laguna Beach we are struggling to find good restaurants. Most are closing. Therefore, We have been anticipating the opening of Pinafini. We are so happy that it did not disappoint.

    Will definitely come back. Ambience is good and food is good. Service was a bit slow but not due to server. Server Peyton was one of the most attentive servers I have had for a while.
