    We love Pelinos. Beautiful place, beautiful menu. We were given the loveliest table by the window. Our server was great. Food was delicious but we all agreed that the pastas were almost cold, served lukewarm at best. We would love it more if the pasta was heated through. Otherwise a fantastic experience

    Food was delicious, server very knowledgeable. When my wife was less than happy with a dish, they insisted upon a delicious substitution. We will be back-even enjoyed the corner window booth!

    Went here for an anniversary dinner and had a wonderful dining experience. The waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu and talked us through each item, and the staff was very attentive. The food was fresh tasting and presentation was exceptional on the ii giubilei de giano! The restaurant has a welcoming ambiance that is lively but not too loud that you can the person across from you. Overall wonderful experience!

    Never ceases to amaze us! Each time we come we are overly impressed by the service, the server's knowledge and expertise of foods and wines, and the unbelievably delicious meal. It was difficult to choose our courses this time as everything sounded so good! Thank you!

    Pelino’s pasta is a whole experience. The food was so fresh. Every bite was delicious. I did order the Casio e Pepe and enjoyed that they brought it out to the table in a cheese wheel. The restaurant itself is very cute and the staff are obviously passionate about what they do. I will say that it was generally very noisy and a bit crowded, as the restaurant is small and seems to be quite popular. Overall though, I would highly recommend trying Pelino’s pasta and will definitely be back!
