    Our favorite Sunday is a matinee and then pizza at Fox Chapel Mercurio's. Yesterday we enjoyed seeing our server, Gianna. She is so friendly and professional. We enjoyed our favorite pizzas--Del Re and Margherita followed by gelato. Best pizza in town!

    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!

    Four of us went to this restaurant for the first time before a Christmas show. My husband has ALS and is in a wheelchair and they quickly noticed and placed us at an accessible table and removed a chair for his comfort. ADA issues do not exist here - they were prepared and very accommodating. We started out with meatballs and focaccia with squash dip for appetizers. Drink list is extensive - it had interesting holiday options - but we just had Chianti and helltowne beer. We got chopped and arugula salads to share - I don’t even typically enjoy arugula but the salad looked interesting and we devoured them. They were absolutely delicious. Our entrees were tagliatelle, ricotta gnocchi, sausage and pepper pizza, and rigatoni vodka sauce. Everything was amazing. All four of us immensely enjoyed our meals. Gelato for dessert. Server was polite and attentive. It was one of the best experiences and amazing food that we’ve had in a restaurant downtown in ages. This place is a gem. We will be back 100%.
