Ordered Fettucini Alfredo with chicken Parmigiana. The sauce was congealed on the noodles. The chicken parm was generic frozen chicken . No traditional Italian breadcrumbs or seasoning. The meatballs for the other diner were zapped in micro and were too cold to eat. It was not as good as it has been. Very disappointed. read more

My wife and I love the food at Pino's Restaurant . Their sauce is amazing not so acidity just right ! I switch between pizza and pasta with meat sauce . Very good !! If you get a server named Jackie all things will be taken care for you !! I don't know how she keeps up with all the patrons but she does it well !!! read more

Consistently good food and amazing service! Pizza, calzones or paninis, fresh salads, good pours on wine, cold beer. What else could you ask for?! read more

This place was fantastic! The sweet tea will hit your southern soul. The food tasted phenomenal. However, the star of the show was the AMAZING service. Jackie was so great at her job. She knew her regulars' orders when they walked in, and she even went the extra mile and brought extra sauce for my spaghetti halfway through our meal. You must try this restaurant! read more

I'm from Buckingham Virginia. This is a honest review. The food here is C average at best. It is also not the most diverse atmosphere. This can be felt when certain people walk through the door. Unfortunately Buckingham suffers greatly from good or average places to eat. I do not eat here. read more

Really great food choices and everything they make tastes great!! Service is wonderful as well! You won't be disapointed!!

Burnt calzone, and expensive. 1 sub, 2 calzones, no drinks and 10 French fries totaled $71.50! Price gouging read more

Great food. Super clean restaurant. Clean bathrooms. Our waitress was outstanding. We went Memorial Day weekend. Recommend. read more

This place is a hidden gem! Clean, and the food was fresh. We stopped in on the way to visit friends. Our waitress was super friendly and accommodating (we have young kids) despite his busy they were. The house salad was so good. Normally you get huge chunks of tomato and cucumber, but they were quartered to make eating easier. We got the Stromboli, and it wasn't greasy at all! The crust on the kids' pizza was what I would imagine the "one bite" guy would rate a 9. Wish this place was closer to home. read more

Amazing isn't the word! This place is a staple to the community! The best Italian restaurant! I love going here once a month! The food is just amazing! A large variety and full of flavor! The servers are sweet and very attentive! The atmosphere is very welcoming and friendly! read more

Always a local favorite. great food, atmosphere and friendly faces! Look forward to this usually once every week or two

Third time eating here and experience is poor as well as food quality. 1st experience our Wait time before getting our food was over an hour and most of the food was cold. Second time we waited well over an hour , our waitress was very apologetic and our food then came out one person at a time with one plate of food cold and had to be sent back. My husband received his food first and he was finished by the time mine came out. We were a party of 5. 3rd order was for pick up this evening, wait time 45 minutes , 15 minutes over what was told to us - not to mention the plate below lots of noodles with barely any meat sauce or cheese . 3 poor experiences = we won't back. I want to add one more thing , other than our waitress the second time who was an older lady and she tried very hard to be kind - we have not encountered kind people. Everyone, including the lady on the phone this evening was pretty curt with us as well. read more

We stopped here just by chance while driving to Virginia Beach and we were so glad. The food was great and the service was lovely. The lemon Italian cake was delish. We had the rustic calzone and the kids had a pepperoni pizza. Would definitely come back if we were in the area! read more

A popular spot for a local dinner and it's clear why. The atmosphere is friendly and the staff is awesome. The food is good, home style Italian cooking that feeds your soul and your stomach. A hidden gem, will 100% be back. read more

This place is shockingly better than I would have expected. The service was alright and the restaurant is fairly clean. However, there is nothing special about the food. The side salad might be the most revolting thing I've eaten at an Italian place. The pasta was warm, but the vodka sauce was void of any real flavor. The hottest thing at the restaurant was the two girls up front texting and laughing throughout my meal. read more

Pino's Italian Restaurant - Side Salad - Italian Near Me - Dillwyn, Virginia

It's currently 9:38pm on a Saturday night. I walked in about 12 minutes ago, went to use the bathroom and was about to sit down to order. I was told to leave because you all are closed. On the website and your hours read that on Saturday nights you close at 10pm. It's a warm June evening. I was here yesterday and ordered food and wine and took food home and left the waitress a tip of over 30%, tonight Im being treated like this. Perhaps I'm the wrong skin color. It's a shame because I actually grew up in farmville and went to school with Steve Bacillion, one of the sons of the owner of the Pino's in Farmville. Also, in Farmville or anywhere I've ever been I've NEVER been treated me like this! I've worked as a server before in Washington DC and we would NEVER turn a customer away because we're "not busy". That makes absolutely no sense at all. These girls were sitting down to do side work. Aside from me being non-white, they also are trying to get out of here before 10pm and it shows! They didn't even offer me to order to go, which would have been in poor taste, but better than just out right refusing service. Especially in Buckingham where there's nothing to really eat. Very poor customer service. Very inconsiderate. Never again read more

A true diamond in the rough! Pino's is in a small town but it has BIG flavor. Customer Service was impeccable and the pizza was sooo yummy..savory sauce, thin crust just how I love it, the perfect amount of toppings oh and the fries..mannnnnn the fries were everything!! Crispy and not overcooked. What I loved the most is they give the option of a mini pizza.. Four substantial slices of gooey goodness..just right for a small appetite for two. Even though we punished that pie and wished we had went with the small lol, it was our greed begging for more. Truly one of the best slices of pizza I had in a while. While waiting we noticed they have a variety of menu items from sandwiches to salads and when we are passing back through "the country" Pino's will definitely be one of our stops. Ps. You won't have any issue with parking or seating. It was a pretty packed house with plenty of both to spare. Pino's you've got a good thing going..keep it up! See you soon! read more

Pino's closes at 9 pm. Called to place an $80+ takeout order at 8:20 pm -- THEY PICKED UP THE RECEIVER AND HUNG UP ON ME TWICE. WON'T be eating their food ever again. read more

A nice little restaurant, nothing particularly special or amazing, but definitely not bad at all. Spotless bathrooms, which earned the fourth star! read more

We live about 45 minutes from here but this place is worth the drive. We were on our way to visit family and stopped here for lunch. I got the Philly cheesesteak my husband got the chicken cheesesteak and onion rings .. everything was awesome!!! I haven't had a Philly cheesesteak that good in years! Due to that fact I never order a Philly cheesesteak when I eat out. Now I know where to go when I want a good Philly. The next day on our way home we stopped to get dinner and another awesome meal. I got the chicken parmigiana ( I always get this here) my husband got the lasagna. Mm mm good! read more

Love the food and they support our nursing home staff with meals. They even delivered some pizza to them from me.

I hate doing this **'s, but the only bright side to this place is Lisa (not our waitress) and the atmosphere. The Wife had a mini pizza and I had the Plain Cheese Steak. Pizza tasted pretty good but the steak could have been on a better roll. Then it happened..........stomach upset, thought it was me and then the wife said she felt bad too. Omneperzole, to the rescue, YEAH! Sorry Joe, your place in Scottsville is much much better! read more

Really good food and friendly staff little expensive but just everything else price has to go up

Called to place an order and instead of just saying the menus shown online are not always the same as what's here in the restaurant the staff acts like I'm a complete idiot and can't understand at all what I'm asking for. I explain the buffalo panini that's on the online menu from many sites . They pass the phone each time for me to just say I'd like to place an order for carry out , I'd like the buffalo panini that I seen on the online menu. They start guessing completely different items and making the stupidest "ughh...ughh..then another dumb guess" really liked this place , but when you can't have basic knowledge of what you have or be able to say you don't have it without it being a phone call for several minutes and several people I'd rather not do business at all and today I ended the call and will just be making dinner at home like planned. Thought it would be a nice surprise treat, but the staff really ruined me wanting to dine there anymore at all. read more

Pino's is a great family restaurant. Friendly staff and good food. Nice portions and very affordable. Delicious pizza, nice thick crust. Try the cannoli; very good. Make sure you check the specials on the board. read more

Calamari and shrimp app is great, as well as the Marinara !! But don't recommend the seafood fra Diablo...the scallops are hard and have a strange texture...the mussels almost made me wonder if they were too old and I'd be sick if I kept on eating. The salmon and pasta....salmon was good but all angel hair pasta ordered between the salmon dish and the 3 fra diablo dishes had pasta that was mushy "over cooked"...For an Italian restaurant that is the least they could've gotten right! Not to mention the waitress mixed up the orders so 2 had the incorrect type of pasta ...bread isn't memorable. Won't ever be coming back. read more

This place was fantastic! We were driving back from Appomattox, Va and we spotted it right off the main road. There's plenty of parking. We sat down and the server was very friendly. The food took a little time coming out but it was worth the wait. I would recommend the calzones and the pizza. It's very charming inside and there's plenty of seating. I would definitely go there again. read more

The pizza is okay... it's not fantastic or even worth the price they make you pay. It's just meh. I ordered the spicy Sicilian and the vegetable spinach white pizza. Completely underwhelmed. $32 for a large pizza is way too expensive for mediocre pizza. There's not much in Dillwyn so it's the only pizza place in town. I've been here before for a fundraiser event. They knew 50+ people would be coming but we're short staffed, never got a refill on my drinks, just bad service and bad quality of food. Will not be coming back. read more

Decided to try pino's pizza tonight and I got a large pepperoni and I have no clue what kind of cheese they use but I doubt it is mozzarella as it didn't have the delicious pull of a mozzarella. It broke apart easily and just didn't taste good. I asked for well done and of course it was no were near that. Will definely recommend going elsewhere for Italian. read more

I've been going to this restaurant since I was 9 & they never disappoint. Such a pleasant family & REALLY great pizza. My favorites are the calamari, mushroom & garlic pizza w/ a ton of ranch on the side, & their Alfredo pasta. I only had their steak a couple times but it was damn good. I live in Denver now but I just got home & going to Pino's was the top priority. If only they delivered to Denver... .. . read more

Awesome food and service, did not disappoint and was way better than I could have imagined. Stopped here for lunch after the Santa train out of Dillwyn station. Being a Philly guy I got the cheesesteak and fries and it was perfect, just like back in Philadelphia. My daughter got the pizza which was very yummy and my wife had the Cancun salad and she loved it. Wished we lived closer this would be my favorite place. Can't wait to come back! A perfect 10. read more

Just called in an order to Pino's. I eat here every time I come to town,but I'm sad to say that this time I'm very disappointed. The service was not as friendly as I'm use to and the quality and flavor was lacking. I ordered the meat lasagna and a salad, the lasagna noodles were over cooked and almost mushy. The salad was ok, kinda hard to mess up that. read more

This restaurant was recommended to me by a local, so I knew it had to be good!! I absolutely loved my meal! Great, classic Italian food, friendly staff, and good portions! I got a pizza and the cannoli, which were both great!! I will be back on my next trip in Buckingham County! read more

We were driving home to Maryland and decided to pull in to Pino's based on the Yelp reviews and the crowded parking lot. It didn't disappoint! The size of portions was very generous i.e. the mini pizza and the small Cancun salad was more than enough. Our waitress was lovely and attentive and the ambience was very pleasant. The owner didn't recognize us and made it a point to greet us warmly. It was a great stop for lunch. read more

I don't understand the positive reviews for this place. I've tried to eat there once, and failed. The same marinara is put on everything "Italian," the "dinner rolls" are made of pizza dough, and the place doesn't even smell like an Italian restaurant. The service was fine, but my plain old spaghetti was inedible. The marinara was way too acidic and poorly seasoned and there were these tiny, unchewable bits of something scattered in it. The menu is soooo extensive I don't know how they can possibly cook all of it on site, especially since I didn't hear or smell any cooking going on anywhere. If you like Kraft spaghetti mix, this place will probably be fine. Otherwise, stay away. read more

Wow Pino's is the best Italian food in Dillwyn, matter of fact the best in Buckingham County. We just had their pesto chicken pizza and it was extraordinarily delicious. read more

We stumbled upon it in the summer of 2010, and the waitress said "you have to order in the next couple of minutes because Italy's playing in the world cup, and nobody's going to be working in the kitchen during the game." They kinda had me at hello with that one. The marinara sauce is so good that everything that uses it is spectacular. The prices are good, the service is good, the atmosphere is pretty authentic, and the food's great. What's not to love? read more

Visited Pinos again back in March while on a visit with friends, dined here again, and their service and quality continue to impress. Everyone visiting with us was quite pleased with the food options (including some vegetarians in the group), and the value there can't be surpassed. read more
