Ethan, Sophie and Digo at the front of house are amazing at what they do. Passionate, friendly and knowledgeable; they have made every visit fantastic. The food is great, the wine list is small but well thought out and the cocktails are well made and tasty!

First time visitor. 4 of us. It’s second storey with a side street entrance. The decor was great. The vibe was great. We had a booth with heaps of room. Staff were very helpful and knowledgable. Our food (Ramen) was excellent. Some Sake was a top accompaniment too. Definitely recommend here for Japanese

I love wingboy amd normally go to the Penrith store. I’ve always thought the service at Penrith was good and therefore I need to say the Darling Square service is exceptional, we had multiple staff serving us wings and drinks and ensuring there was continual turn around. This will now be my regular pre city event dinner venue.

Amazing food, we had the tasting menu of Latin America and it was so delicious, beautifully plated and generously portion. Our waitress beautifully explained each dish and where it originated from, this made our experience so much more enjoyable. Highly recommend.

Great local joint. Good food, especially for meat eaters (quite limited for vegetarians / vegans). Service was a little slow but very friendly. Recommend.

Have been to Pino's twice and both times has been a wonderful experience. It's been full but not overcrowded with some of the best service levels I have experienced. Atmosphere is one of the winners and often difficult to get a Fri or Sat night booking. Food is exceptional with a good choice but not exhaustive. I felt the $89pp menu was a bit underdone and unlikely to do that again but the quality of food was excellent maybe the quantity fell short...
