    Such a great experience! Everything was fantastic, from the wine to the food to the service. Very nice space, small but comfortable. Busy & lively atmosphere, but not so loud that we weren't able to have a conversation. We loved the 3 & 4 course dinners and being able to try so many different things. Will definitely be back!

    10/10 across the board. Birch, our server, was phenomenal. From the drink recommendations to the storytelling while walking us through the menu, their service was top notch. Not our first, nor last visit. Can’t wait to dine here again!!

    I’ve been wanting to try this place for a long time. I was a little disappointed. I ordered the artichoke antipasti and there wasn’t much artichoke in it and what was there was terribly fibrous. The filling did have good flavor. I had the pappardelle pasta with duck. The pasta itself had very good texture although the dish as a whole didn’t have a lot of flavor. My husband got the gnocchi and again, not much flavor. The gnocchi had an almost slippery texture and the saffron kind of took over the flavor. The signature cacio e Pepe was very good and the table service is very cool. I thought the three course meal would have me stuffed by the end but the portions are very small. My husband got the four course and he too left feeling a bit underwhelmed.

    We were so impressed with Pelino’s! The service was wonderful and the food was incredible. The wine pairings with the 3-course dinner made for an even better experience- we highly recommend this place!!
