    Can’t say enough great things about our first experience at Pelino’s tonight! Collin was impeccable and so informative, the ambiance was perfect and every course with the wine pairing was outstanding. Thank you and we can’t wait to get back to Pelino’s!

    We had a wonderful experience. The owner came to the long family style table and explained the regional background for each course. We might make this our Valentines Day tradition!

    I love this place! I dined here alone in October after looking for a place that made fresh pasta every day. The focaccia is sublime and I could drink the olive oil.The cacio e pepe was spot on. Tonight, I returned with my aunt and uncle and it did not disappoint! Among the three of us, we were able to order most of the menu so we could each try each dish. The service is impeccable and knowledgeable. The atmosphere is friendly, cozy - along with a food and the wine what a wonderful place to spend an evening. I can’t wait to return and, hopefully, introduce more people to this lovely hidden gem. Don’t hesitate! Make a reservation 😋
