My wife and I both ordered seafood lasagna. Neither of us could detect much, if any, seafood - the lasagna was predominately lasagna noodles, sauce, and cheese. A high price ($35) for those ingredients .Nice ambience, excellent service.

We ate here on February 17th and had an awful experience. We had a reservation at 5:45 that we made 2 weeks in advance. We arrived at 5:30 and were seated in a back room , despite the fact the restaurant wasn't near capacity. The server was less than stellar as he was preoccupied with pushing tables together and doing table settings for what turned out to be a party of 14 that was seated right next to us. To say that the small room was loud would be an understatement, as holding a conversation with my wife was impossible. The previous Thursday we attended a Queen tribute band concert and it was a quieter atmosphere than the restaurant. When we voiced our displeasure with the manager , we got the perfunctory apology and nothing else. It turned our dining experience into a motorcycle rally and was without a doubt the worst dining experience of my life. We were offered a half price dessert but declined as we just wanted what we thought we were entitled to which was a pleasant atmosphere to eat. Won't be back, in fact I'm trying to figure out how to contact my credit card company to not pay. My ears are still ringing from this pathetic dining experience.

Sat us in back room next to a loud party of 15, we could not even hear each other talk. Manager’s condecending tone of being sorry was unacceptable as our evening was ruined because of a large party placed next to us right as our food arrived. We should have been told or offered a different table as there were many available at 5:35 when we arrived. We were very disappointed in how we were treated, I would not recommend this restaurant

Always great food, great service, and friendly staff and owners. Highly recommended!!
Quality on every front. Outstanding and well trained staff, food is fantastic and so many customers were hugging the owners because they are like family. Eat here if you want to be happy!

We were looking for a new place for a special birthday dinner and thought we would try Trattoria Pina based on favorable reviews. First impression was good other than being rushed to order drinks and entrees. Salad and soup arriving before entrees was good sign, and food came shortly after salads were finished. Everyone seemed to enjoy the entrees except for the salmon dish which was served with the skin on and served with soupy risotto - overall presentation was not appealing.Once food arrived, service slowed. The time to get / settle the check was dreadfully long, so much so we went to hostess stand to pay and resolve discrepancies which were only partially fixed. Finally we just gave up, paid the incorrect bill, and did not appreciate the 25% and 30% tip recommendations.
We had a nice dinner here. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere. There’s a good selection of food choices. They have a full bar. Our waiter was friendly and attentive but we never felt like we were being rushed. Both of our meals were really good as well as our dessert. The restaurant is easy to find and there was plenty of parking. Can definitely recommend.

Best Italian I had In our 2 years in the USA. Reel Italian food,the best pizza dough. A plus; No plastic cups, no straws,no rush, time to enjoy! We need that in Illinois.
