text: BEFORE Pinos was renovated it was a tiny unpretentious holeinthewall restaurant with a friendly atmosphere and amazing Italian food It was also a BYOB which I love This was our goto restaurantnnAFTER Pinos was renovated there was a complete transformation While the interior is now very nice It is no longer a BYOB and the staff is full of attitude which seems to stem from the total arrogance of Pino himselfnnOn our most recent visit we were a party of four with reservations at PM We arrived at and were not even acknowledged until PM Pino was playing maitre d and when he finally acknowledged our presence he seemed totally clueless and was overtly UNapologetic There were no open tables despite having reservations When PM rolled around I was frantically calling other local restaurants to see if we could get in No such luck since it was prime dining time on Saturday night Finally around PM the waitstaff brought a two person table up from the basement crowded four chairs around it and jammed it into the middle of the restaurant for us to sit in Pino then literally threw our menus at us and walked away Not so much as a free drink for our inconveniencennThe food is still good here but I refuse to give my money to someone who CLEARLY does not appreciate your business There are SO many good restaurants in the area with ownerschefs who are happy to have you Next time you think about going here walk an extra block to the Point Brugge Cafe
