Pina’s Bistro: Authentic Italian Dishes in a Cozy Setting

March 6, 2014 by

This intimate little Italian eatery has quickly become a favorite stopping spot for scrumptious authentic dishes in a cozy, relaxing setting with friendly, attentive service. Maybe part of the reason fans of the place love it so much is because owner and chef Pina makes all of the sausage, manicotti, cannelloni, lasagna, gnocchi, bread, sauces, and desserts in-house.

Settle in with a glass or bottle of wine and an antipasto like calamari fritti, Atlantic littleneck clams with garlic sauce, or a caprese salad. Move on to the main event with a pasta dish like cheese ravioli marinara, penne with sausage and peppers, spaghetti bolognaise, and penne with sauteed sausage and asparagus. Chicken marsala, grilled pork chops and veal parmigiana are also served.

Pina's Bistro is open Tuesday through Saturday in Tustin.

Pina’s Bistro: Neapolitan Style

June 12, 2013 by

Established in 1995 by Pina, an immigrant from Naples, Pina’s Bistro specializes in authentic regional Italian cuisine made to order with fine ingredients. The fried mozzarella, served with marinara sauce, is a particularly memorable appetizer, but regardless of whether you choose to order one or not Pina’s bread is homemade, fresh, and delicious. All entrees come with a complimentary house salad of a decent size. The gnocchi makes for an excellent meal but among the most highly prized items on the Pina’s menu is the sausage, which is made fresh daily and available as a side for those whose entrée do not include it. The lemoncello cake and tiramisu are very good desserts and a nice way to finish up a meal. The atmosphere is welcoming and the service is as friendly as you’d hope from a family-owned restaurant.
