I got the Fettuccine Alfredo pasta with chicken and for $18 I wish it was a larger portion, BUT it was super tasty and the presentation was lovely. The employees have a calm demeanor even during busy hours and I felt welcomed and well fed. Lovely outdoor seating too!

Pizza was good, but the pasta was very mediocre. The shrimp ziti was under salted and overall kind of bland. The portion size was also small, especially for the price. We had a group of 5 and waited 20 minutes to even put in our order, another 20 minutes for our drinks to come out, and almost an hour and a half total for our food. Waiter said they were busy and things were backed up, but wait just seemed way too long. Another table who sat 15 min after us also got all their food before us.

Blown away by their gourmet pizza! You must try it. So tasty. Perfectly balanced flavors, excellent thin crust with the perfect crisp. Stand out place! Will definitely be going here again. Also great atmosphere, and very friendly helpful staff. They have other dishes besides pizza too that look amazing. Thanks for your Pizza week slice that blew my mind!

Super yummy Italian food! The pastas were so yummy and portions were great. The pizzas are also perfect. Great place to go if you’re looking for quick Italian food without the “formal atmosphere”.
good late night spot with unique pizza and astrology themed cocktails

Such an awesome place. Very good if you have little ones, as they have extra seating in the back with high chairs. The service was great too!

We LOVE Fino Bistro. Great for groups, dates, or to grab something quick. Love their cocktails, wine selection, and gluten-free options. Our only complaint is the jazz that plays in the dining area - it's loud and sometimes feels obnoxious.
So the food is good and I do recommend, not like making it long drive destination good but if nearby then definitely worthwhile (mainly pizza in referring to as haven't had the other items recently but when had in past were all good). They usually knock it out of the park with their white/olive oil slice options too. 3 stars only cause they have started adding hidden charges upon being rung up, that being a 2% for health and benefits but also still look for a 18% min tip for counter service. The food and drinks already aren't inexpensive with veggie slice at 5 bucks and draft at 7.5. Would rather see this surcharge built into the prices. Unfortunate to see them start going this route with the lack of transparency.

I've dined here solo, with family and with friends over several years. Since the most recent chef started the menu has become more interesting and sometimes very good. My family and I have all agreed that for the pasta entrees, the portions are too small. We are not the types to want "quantity rather than quality" but I have a small appetite, my daughter's is medium and we both leave hungry. The salads are very good, tiramisu NOT authentic at all. I would truly go much more often if I didn't leave hungry. Also, for those who watch their sodium intake, it can be exceptionally high (to the point I've sent one dish back).

I ordered my food from Doordash and I got a large pepperoni pizza, a caesar salad, and a brownie. The costco tastes and looks like a harder costco/sams club pizza, the brownie is very thick amd was pretty big, and the salad was actually pretty good cause that is super basic. Overall I felt like the price I paid for the meal didn't taste very good, the sizes were amazing but it was just very bland.
Best pizza! Also very good Italian dishes. Highly recommend. Great service, lovely place for a date.

Friends have asked us to meet them for dinner here this coming weekend, and that's when I remembered we had eaten here before. The food was excellent, their homemade pasta was served al dente and had the perfect texture. I had the Alfredo, which is always one of my test dishes for an unknown Italian restaurant, and it didn't disappoint. Others have mentioned the Cesar Salad, and I too must join the chorus, it is one of the best Cesars I've ever had! Very much looking forward to dining here again!

I have been a regular takeout/bar customer of Fino for the last 5-6 years. The food is always good as well as the cocktails and beer selection which is why I have always returned. However this review is not about that, it is about one employee in particular, Sarah. Sarahs positive energy and attention to making the guest feel welcome is what every neighborhood bar should strive for. I left this establishment last night actually feeling like my patronage was appreciated. Thank You Sarah.
