This is obviously the place to be when the Grand Prix is held at Phillip Island. Lots of memorabilia on show and it is a family owned Trattoria with all the traditional pizza type meals. I had an unusual chicken salad which was good - they have a good bar and house wine if you are after pizza and red....

I will take on board the heating aspects unfortunately due to our big space and glass surroundings it becomes difficult to warm, however i will keep this in mind for our customers and i agree it does get slightly warm under the heating. I am happy that your meals and experience...

We were on a bus tour and the bus driver let us off in downtown Cowes with an hour to get dinner and get back on the bus. Of the 3 restaurants our driver recommended, Pino's came up highest on the TripAdvisor list. This was a great choice ! We had the Daily Pasta special, Pizza, Tagliatelle Carbonara, and a...

My family had lunch at this place and found the food to be great! The pizza (Meat Lovers) was one of the better ones I have tasted here in Australia. The pasta (Carbonara) was really good as well and gobbled up by the kids in double time. My wife and mother-in-law had another pasta (Seafood) and they too were impressed...

Good pizza, nice people and amazing collection of helmets and accessories of GP motorbike drivers.
I was there to have the classical "pizza e birra" during my trip to Phillip Island.
Good service and pizza was good... I'm Italian and I like pizza so it's not easy for me have good pizza when I'm abroad....
You can choose many types...

Reading your review i will respond to only the relevant aspects of it. I can only assure you that our lasagne which is made on premise, daily by our chefs is baked in our oven & that no use of the microwave is used in creating that meal & was disappointed to read that you felt that it was. We...

We have been to Phillip Island some 14-15 times. We visit Pino's every time, 3-4 nights for dinner every trip. The food is always great, Staff and service you can't fault. The atmosphere is brilliant, and especially if you're interested in motor bikes,or cars, the reason we attend every year is historic motor racing. We love Italian food, and regularly...
