A Taste of Tradition

At Don Pino, we honour Italy’s rich culinary heritage. Our menu draws from authentic recipes passed down through generations—handmade pastas, slow-cooked sauces, and carefully selected ingredients that speak for themselves. Every dish is a nod to the rustic simplicity and deep flavour of real Italian cooking.

The Cicchetti Lounge Experience

Inspired by the vibrant cicchetti bars of Venice, our dining style is built for sharing. Small plates, bold flavours, and a relaxed atmosphere invite you to take your time, try something new, and enjoy each bite in good company. It’s Italian dining, reimagined for today.

5/5

8 of us had a great meal last night. I dont usually choose pasta when I eat out as I’m pretty good at making it at home. The Linguini Gamborini was excellent with lovely shell on prawns. The service was good and the whole group from 18 to 87 enjoyed it.
