Pino's Italian Restorante

• Everything!
• It's too far away for me to enjoy now.

“I ate at Pino's probably 8 years ago now - Every new Italian joint I have tried has been compared and comes nowhere close the experience here! I stop by and eat the Ravioli (half spin in white sauce and half cheese in red sauce) amazing!”

• The waiter speaks Italian.

“It was our first time in this restaurant and will be the last one. We ordered a round of drinks and the waiter took our order. The salads came about 10 minutes later, unfortunately the main dishes never came, the waiter just gave us stupid excuses about the delay in the kitchen. After an hour of waiting we decided to pay for what we did get eat and leave. Specially when we realized that three other tables got their meals even when they arrived after we did. Total disappointment, not what we would've expected from Encinitas.”

Big Jim's Old South Barbq

• Nothing.
• Food, dirty, attitude of waitress.

“Good southern BBQ restaurants are tough to find in the San Diego area. I tried out this place since it has a convenient location of off the 101 highway and it looks like a decent place. The food however was subpart. I had the baby back ribs. The meet was just OK and the sauce was horrible. There was black hair all over the side dish potato salad. The waitress was missing any charm or friendliness and instead had a major attitude. For the price I expect top notch BBQ and the place did not deliver. Not by a long shot Would not ever come here again.”

• Ambiance, friendly staff and owner, delicious food.

“As an Italian-American, raised in a home filled with delicious Italian cooking, Pino's dishes are a home away from home. Everything is delicious, especially my seafood favorites, like the Chilean Sea Bass.”
