The food was amazing. Honestly, I will be going back! We had Spicy Fried Ravioli, NY Stromboli, Small (it was big) Cheese Pizza, and Lasagna. EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING!
Out of towners stopping through Emporia. What a gem this is! Seems to be family ran. Prices are fair and portions are PLENTY! We had steak & chicken subs BOMB, wings and a pasta dish oh and the fried chicken salad HITTIN! Stop in to this place you won’t be disappointed.
What a wonderful stop for a break from traveling. Everyone was so hospitable and welcoming. Pizza was excellent. Made to order slices.
All I can say, is OMG. I have been in Emporia for 5 days eating sub-par food and there is this little gem hiding among it. We saw the building and looked it up and decided to give it a chance. All I can say is try Pino’s pizza and Italian. I hesitated because of the prices (18.95 for spaghetti and meatballs) but I really wish I hadn’t. I would have gotten this every afternoon and had the leftovers for dinner. The portions are wonderful. The sauce by itself is like a delicious soup. We got spaghetti and meatballs, manicotti with meat sauce, a steak Stromboli and a calzone. Everything was on point. We are from northeast Ohio, and I was debating my choice of towns to say in, but I would come back and stay in Emporia just to eat here! 10 out of 10.
Very lovely pizzeria! We're from NY and we were passing through and got a small cheese and half pepperoni pizza and it was delicious. They made it fast too! Wonderful service definitely family-owned and gives you the mom & pop vibe! Worth stopping for dinner or lunch!!
Visited today and yet again I was pleased. Pino’s food quality is consistently good. The food is well seasoned hot and fresh. Today I dined in for lunch and the food came out quickly. The rest I was very l clean and this conveyed in the bathroom as well. If you are in the area or stopping by I definitely encourage you to get the shrimp salad !
This place is great! We stopped to get fuel, saw this restaurant and decided to go there. And that was the best decision- food is excellent, plates are huge!! We ordered two pastas. My order was specific, since I have a lot of allergies. They did the best they could and made me an amazing pasta!! Also, every pasta comes with freshly cut salad and garlic bun straight from the oven with crunchy sides! You have to try it! I highly recommend this place, personal is nice and carriage, food is delicious and the prices are good! Don’t hesitate and stop by!
