Best Wine Bars in Penn Hills

Jess our server was excellent and informative. We had heard good things but this was our first visit to Pino's and we were not disappointed. Appetizers were excellent...fried calamari and garlic bread. We each enjoyed our pasta dishes. We definitely recommend! Make reservations in advance as this is a local Point Breeze favorite!

Visited for Christmas Eve dinner as a party of 6. IT WAS PACKED. Like I’ve never seen it. But guess what? Despite a short wait past our reservation time (15 min? 20? completely reasonable for a full house on a holiday) our experience was the same as if it was a slow night. Our servers were personable and thorough, the meal was nicely paced, and every course was served at the right temperature and with lovely presentation. Only disappointment was the tomahawk cut that my husband ordered being sold out… bummer, he was really excited for that entree and had to pivot to a ribeye. Hats off to CG for really solid execution on what has to be one of the most hectic nights of the year there. If you’re looking for a lively Christmas Eve in the city, I can’t fathom anywhere else was THIS busy and also so on pointe.

Exceptional, elegant, outstanding. Our waiter Gregory was pleasant, courteous, gracious, considerate, thoughtful, understanding, accommodating, attentive and professional. Every dish of the Feast of the Seven Fishes was exceptional. Chef was superb. Staff was superb. Waiter was superb. Bartender that prepared our Old Fashion Bourbon was the best of the best. We genuinely hope that everyone has the best of holidays.

This was our first time at Mary’s Vine, but won’t be the last. The food was excellent, as were the cocktails. Our server, explained everything about the menu and assisted us in choosing wine to go with our meals. It was a little noisy as there was a large party celebrating a birthday, but other than that, we had a most enjoyable evening. It was the perfect was to begin the Christmas holiday!

Every year when I receive my big burrito birthday coupon, I use it at Alta Via because I think it's the best value. Brian was our server and he was outstanding! He was so friendly and did an amazing job! The food was delicious too! I will definitely be back again soon.
