About Pino Alto Restaurant

Pino Alto Restaurant is a hidden gem located in the historic Sesnon House, an elegant building from 1911, and is part of Cabrillo College's culinary program. The restaurant features a friendly and professional staff composed of students who are gaining valuable experience in the industry. The menu includes delicious meals such as roasted red pepper soup and shrimp on polenta, both praised for their exquisite flavors. Diners can also enjoy a large side salad with a light lemony dressing, which has drawn positive feedback for its unique tartness. The in-house made bread is a notable highlight as well. The atmosphere is open, quiet, and visually pleasing, with a lovely view of the lawn and trees, making it perfect for lunch or dinner.

Pino Alto Restaurant is known for its reasonable prices, with offerings like a cup of tea for just $2. The restaurant provides easy access and plenty of parking, both in the Pino Alto lot and on Soquel Dr. With a commitment to sanitation and service, along with the opportunity to enjoy five Saturday Cuisine Inspired Buffets in the summer of '24, it is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a unique and enjoyable dining experience. Reservations are suggested to ensure a spot, given the limited days and times open, which is unlike typical restaurants.

Wonderful lunch for about 28 people. the food was delicious and healthy. the service was impressive

The service, the food, the ambient are all very good.

Went for Beer Makers featuring Discristion.
Portions were generous but not overwhelming, pairs were well thought out executed beautifully. Friendly attentive staff that spaced out courses as not to be overwhelming. Lovely atmosphere on the terrace, a wonderful night out and will return to try other student menus!
