Pino Italian Restaurant - Islington

We have the number on the website to be answered by a recorded message indicating that the number was no longer in service. we have tried the online reservation option on the website and registered for the waiting list and all available bookings at 7:30. also went on and kept the only available time slot for a table of two by 8 o'clock. around 19:45 clock visited to be met by a printless employee who simply told us: “Your name is not on the list!” after he had explained that I had booked a table for two for 8 pm on their website booking service, he looked at his clipboard again and repeated himself,” their name is not on the list”. I asked if I came back at 20 o'clock, the time of our booking, when a table will be ready then. he replied, “well, I cannot see their names on the list.” it was busy, but there were three open tables for two, he offered us a chair at the front counter, to which I revered. at the end I turned my back on this sweat and went. the personal refused to confirm that we had a booking that had been confirmed by e-mail and did not attempt to teach us even though there were possibilities. I remember this situation from previous owners and it was fantastic. unfortunately we are now very unlikely to return or offer cheap reviews of the staff

I was very disappointed with my visit to this restaurant. The atmosphere, the decor, and the music were all very stylish, but the restaurant needs to follow certain rules. Firstly, some items on the menu cannot be ordered, which is frustrating. Secondly, hot dishes should be brought to the table simultaneously. Thirdly, drinks should be served in glass, not plastic. Fourthly, drinks should be delivered to the table at the same time. Fifthly, white wine and rose should be served chilled, not just in an ice bucket. Sixthly, the staff seemed eager to close up and did not open the doors to cool the room, leaving the guests uncomfortable. Lastly, the wine was drastically overpriced, with the cheapest option at $45 not even available, forcing diners to spend at least $60. The food was good, but only if they can get everything right.

My friend vanessa and I had a nice meal in pinos on Saturday (9th juli). we were so impressed by the beautiful vegan kitchen, portion-sized, atmosphere and the personal. Erin, the guide on the menu was excellent and had a nice and professional...manner we will be back and would recommend this place for everyone whether they are vegan, vegetarian or a meat lover, their senses will be thrilled.

I'm not vegan, but I enjoy delicious and inspired food. This restaurant certainly delivers. Like any great restaurant, the menu changes with the seasons. For three people, we shared three appetizers, two main courses, and two desserts. We started with mushroom arancini, sweet potato stuffed zucchini flowers (my personal favorite), and a pickled vegetable salad. The flavors were a great combination. For the main courses, I highly recommend the wild mushroom ravioli for its deliciously balanced flavor. My husband loved the black bean "meatballs". For dessert, we shared a pear and almond cake with lavender custard (delicious) and a burnt honey sticky pudding with coconut ice cream (seriously good). And let's not forget about the cocktails. Josh, our bartender, makes amazing drinks with skill and finesse. Special mention to our fantastic waitress, Erin, who provided authentic hospitality throughout the evening. It's evident that this place is run by people with a passion for food. I recommend it to all food enthusiasts, whether carnivores or vegans. I can't wait for my next visit.

The food at this restaurant is delicious and amazing. This was my fourth visit and I was hesitant about trying vegan Italian food, but I was proven wrong on every front! We tried all the appetizers and each one was delicious and incredibly tasty. I never thought I would enjoy Brussel sprouts so much, but they were amazing. The Arancini and polenta were also great, although the cauliflower morney was just average in comparison. The main courses were superb, with four different pastas that were mouth-wateringly good. The focaccia was excellent with a hint of herbs and a punch of olive. The desserts were also fantastic, light and fresh. My favorite was the lemon budino, with the tiramisu and chocolate mousse as close seconds. Overall, it was a great dining experience and I would definitely recommend revisiting. Thank you!
