Pina's Bistro
Pina's Bistro is a bright sparkling culinary jewel amid dozens of fine Italian eateries in South Orange County, California. Established in 1995 as a family enterprise (currently encompassing three generations under Pina's guidance), the cuisine of her native Napoli has been lovingly and masterfully recreated and served to her loyal patrons for the past sixteen years.
Using only the freshest and finest ingredients available in the marketplace Pina handcrafts all of her sausage, manicotti, cannelloni, lasagna, gnocchi, bread and sauces, not to mention her luxurious and sensual dessert offerings as well as all of her other exquisite dishes.
hether visiting for lunch or dinner, business or pleasure, you may always expect to experience exceptional quality traditional Italian cuisine created to meet the very highest standards of gastronomic excellence. Pina rigidly adheres to this standard and proudly proclaims – "I will not serve any dish that I would not be happy to eat myself."

"This is the real deal ... Momma is the chef and the excellent service is provided by some of the daughters. And the food - butternut squash with fennel sausage ... so good, shrimp scampi ... as simple dish but the best I have ever had. The menu has all of your italian favorites - I really don't think you can go wrong in this restaurant. The decor is very simple ... it is a small place but they also have some outside tables ... this is a hidden gem ... don't miss it!"

"Pina's is the best restaurant in OC that you have never heard of. Pina and her daughters cook up excellent Italian classics and provide genuine, friendly service as if you have been invited to their home. Always an excellent time! One of our absolute favorites!"

"Fantastic homemade Italian food! We've introduced so many friends who now consider it their favorite. We keep going back, and it's a half hour drive in traffic from our home."
