Pino's Vino e Cucina

Best Known For

Pork neck, charred fennel, cabbage slaw, pickled mustard seeds, green beans, tomato, almond pesto and provolone.

Pino’s Vino e Cucina on Lawrence Street in Alexandria blends the warmth of a rustic Italian farmhouse with candlelit intimacy, exposed brick walls and recycled timber beams, plus hanging copper pots from Rome – creating a cosy, familial atmosphere fitting both first dates and group gatherings. Begin a memorable dining experience with tuna crudo, orange dressing, horseradish and sesame seeds, or Wagyu tartare with onion rings, egg yolk and caviar. Pasta lovers are tempted by maccheroncini with prawns and puttanesca butter sauce; or slice a knife into perfectly cooked Black Angus steak with grilled lemon, garlic and rosemary oil. Save room for Aperol granita and orange custard tiramisu; a thoughtful wine list – heavy on Italian pours – plus handcrafted cocktails complement the robust menu.
