Let me start with the conclusion: the price is reasonable, the food is exquisite and delicious, and it is the first choice for parties.

I came to Pino Coco for a dinner with my family on the first day of the new year. As soon as I sat down, I felt the relaxed atmosphere in the store. There were also many family dinner guests around. Today I found that the menu was slightly different from the past. After taking a closer look, I found that the service fee has changed from 10% to 20%. Considering that it is the first day of the new year, this change is reasonable. It would be better if the service staff could remind you in advance.

Based on previous dining experience, you don’t need to order too much for the main meal, and having a variety of appetizers is enough for everyone to share.

First, today's Pino soup. Today is mushroom soup. It has a rich mushroom aroma and a smooth texture that won't make you feel greasy. After drinking it, you'll whet your appetite.

Next is fried shrimp with shrimp oil + kiln-baked bread. The shrimp itself is delicious, and paired with the rich shrimp sauce, the taste is very rich. The kiln-baked bread is crispy on the outside and filled with shrimp paste in the middle. The sauce that overflows after you bite into it blends with the aroma of the bread, making every bite full of satisfaction.

The charcoal-grilled octopus legs are tasty, but not a must-order.

Homemade Danish cheese sticks are crispy cheese sticks that are easy to chew and have a rich cheese flavor that gets better and better the more you chew them.

Charcoal Grilled Seafood Salad is filled with fresh seafood, the combination of charcoal grilled aroma and seafood, paired with lettuce to refresh and relieve greasiness. What’s special is that there are ice flowers in it, which is a rare ingredient and is worth a try.

The signature fried chicken wings are fried to a golden and crispy outer skin, which is still smoking when you bite into it. The fresh meat and soft texture make you bite after bite.

The strawberry smoothie tastes a bit like yogurt smoothie. It is rich and smooth. It feels like Dayuanzi’s strawberry smoothie?

Mascarpone Cheese Melon Pizza and Chestnut Pumpkin Cheese Pizza are two main dishes. You can choose two flavors of 9-inch pizza to make a double combo. The pizza crust is chewy, the zucchini is crispy and paired with the rich cheese, it's quite special and delicious. There are pumpkin and chestnuts on the other side, but I don't like pumpkin so I can't comment on it, but the ham added on top is very thick and flavorful, and it's delicious.

Prawn Duo Creamy Pasta is a staple food. The noodle is very springy. It is topped with shrimp sauce similar to the shrimp fried in shrimp oil. The aroma is fragrant. The meat of the two prawns is delicious and full of satisfaction when biting into it.

The last two main dishes were a bit too much, so just ordering one should be enough. Overall, although it is a slightly more expensive restaurant, the dining experience is quite satisfying. Compared with MEATGQ next door, the price of Pinot Coco is not only much cheaper, but the satisfaction is even better than him. If family and friends want to have a dinner together, this would definitely be among my top choices.

Very unique door
It seems to be the Chinese New Year version of the menu, so there is a 20% service charge.

A small restaurant in the centre of the city. A bit hidden in the back of the pedestrian zone it offers outdoor seating too.They offer original and authentic Italian food with ingredients from Puglia. With pinsa the original form of pizza you can have something different than the common pizza. Made with different flours and fermenatation of 72 hours it is also more digestible. We had the bruschetta as appertizer and a salmon pinsa and Gorgonzola pear pasta for Main course. Everything was prepared fresh and very delicious. The owner serving us was extremely friendly and we will definately come back soon.

小有特色的義大利麵餐廳,但或許是這份特色,讓他能在競爭的商圈角落,佔有一席之地。 我也才知道,原來用心把餐點做好,是這樣的味道。 👉外觀及環境 這間店先前就看到有被推薦過幾次,看著地圖貌似早已路過許多次,但始終一直沒有找到它。 這次按圖索驥,一條路一條路的找、比對,總算是讓我找到了,如其名,一頂灰色的屋篷、極小的招牌,難怪路過會沒看到。 至於要走進去則花了我一點的勇氣,其實店外觀算是整潔,但就是太舊了!加上植物、看上去沒有乾的木棧道裝飾、一旁排水的外接水管及排水溝,讓人不免擔心裡面會不會潮濕、發霉、蟑螂老鼠逛大街之類的…,幸好走進去,室內溫度合宜、也感覺不到潮濕的不適感。 👉菜單 醬汁x配料,仔細看一下就會發現其實就相同幾種在互相搭配而已,不過以品項數量來看,含海鮮的選項比不含海鮮的多,甚至人氣推薦品項也是以海鮮為主,雖然沒有明說,店家感覺對自己每份餐點都很有自信,但海鮮看起來是這間店的特色之一。 除了人吃的,這間店也很貼心的有準備狗寶貝的餐點,也算是一間寵物友善餐廳! 👉餐點評價留給照片一起說明,一樣先來點總結。 這間店我相信我肯定會再度光臨,甚至找三五好友一起約這裡吃飯! 給不到5星是因為價位上並沒有CP值高到想經常性光顧、高度推薦,但若星星可以有小數點,給4.5星是沒問題的👌

Belli is a place we frequent often and we are always satisfied. They have a small outdoor space with good lighting in the front and inside the setting is a darker bar-like setting, and it's nice to sit by the window to get more natural light. Their pork chop is consistently good, tender, juicy, and flavorful with the mushroom sauce. The brussel sprouts are also nice and roasted and tender as well. The pasta is also really good, creamy and linguini cooked just right. The food can sometimes take a bit long to come out, but it's worth it. Always can count on a great experience here.
