    Just made dinner reservations for Tomorrow night. We will Celebrate two birthdays, so a good night to add desert.

    Gnocchi with protein
    Mildred O.

    We were seated beside the large windows with beautiful mountain views. The service was attentive, refilling our water and asking if we wanted more focaccia bread. The entrees were seasoned well and they were large portions, enough to take home. Make sure to save room for dessert because it was amazing.

    Trattoria Pina is a gem! I ate here for a birthday dinner and everything was delicious from start to finish. The bread and olive oil/ vinegar to start is fresh and flavorful, and the entrees come with your choice or garden salad or minestrone. The minestrone is excellent! I had the gnocchi (made in house) with arrabiata sauce, and added ricotta. The portions are very large and everyone had leftovers. Others in my party ordered the sausage pasta and penne arrabiate, no complaints with their selections. The house wine is a Chianti and is very good. We finished the meal with a couple of espressos and their famous "Pope's Pillow" which is a beautiful combination of puff pastry, Bavarian cream, and fresh strawberries. So light after a rich dinner. The waitstaff and bussers and very attentive. We will certainly be back!

    Trattoria Pina is a fave of mine so I was thrilled to go on Valentine's Day for an amazing dinner (so good that we started eating before remembering to take pictures)! We were thrilled to get same day reservation and although we arrived a bit early they got us seated in the beautiful dining room and our waiter Rocco took amazing care of us! They started us off with delicious bread and oil basalmic dipping sauce and I ordered the create your own pizza with green olives and pepperoni and my date had the Medaglione di Vanessa. The pizza was perfectly made, the cheese was nice and melty and the toppings were flavorful. The cheese raviolis were very good, perfect sauce, the only feedback was the chicken was a tad tougher than we would have liked but the dish was still yummy. The food was out in a timely manner and the prices are terrific based on the location. Super nice place for a date night and they made our Valentine's dinner one for the books!

    We are from out of town and were looking for a nice, and slightly casual restaurant to celebrate and birthday. So glad we found this place! Service was excellent - Kevin was considerate, made great recommendations and the staff worked well together filling drinks, removing plates and boxing leftovers. Definitely a warm family friendly vibe and perfect ambiance for a celebration. They were gracious to recognize a birthday at our table with a delicious orange amaretto cake that was delightful. The meatball appetizer was terrific (meat was light and tender and marinara was full of flavor but not too much garlic), their focaccia bread perfectly baked, the pizza was cheesy and the scampi portofino was light and flavorful with big chunks of mushrooms and artichoke hearts. If we lived here, we would be regulars.

    Indoor and outdoor seating . Good service. Happy Hour that you don't have to sit at a bar to enjoy. The tiramisu martini was well balanced and too easy to drink one too many! The Fettuccine Quattro Sapore was different as it was not the usual chicken accompanied but rather a ground sausage with a balanced ( not overpowering) Gorgonzola cream sauce. The Bianco e Negro was aesthetically fun to eat with a combination of white and squid ink noodles giving it the appearance of black and white noodles. It's a busy place - reservations recommended.

I was waiting for my friend and figured I'd have to wait at the front. But no, the hostess seated me immediately. While waiting for my friend, Alex (Alejandro) came to the table and, with a smile, asked me for my drink order. He brought two glasses of water and then checked on me a few times while I waited for my (late) friend. He keyed in the password for the free wifi on my phone. When my friend showed up, we decided what we wanted to order and as soon as we set the menus down, Alex was there to take our orders. I told him that we would be there awhile as friend and I had some catching up to do. While waiting for our food, he stopped by to tell us that our food was just about ready. The runner brought the food. Alex stopped by with more water for us several times. He left us alone until we signaled we were ready for our tab. The place was busy but he never bothered us or made us feel like we should leave. The salads were quite good. My large portion of salmon was perfectly cooked as were the shrimp on friend's salad. We ordered the focaccia bread and it was warm, tender and was served with olive oil. All in all a great experience. A lot of that had to do with Alex. I'll go back, hoping that he's still there.

We ordered mocktails, as she's 17 and I rarely drink, and they were truly refreshing and delicious. Our server, I've forgotten his name, was tall, friendly and patient when I requested to stagger service, as it was a Sunday evening at 1630. The bread and oil was ok, calamari app was good, mostly tentacles and felt as if a third of the plate was just breading afterwards because we got the bottom of the bag from the freezer. For entrees, my daughter had the ragu bolognese and it was 4 minutes away from being al dente, the pasta was uncooked and tough. I wanted to send it back but my daughter said she would "just eat it". I usually get pasta or branzino, but this time I opted for the roasted chicken and it was the most insipid dish I have ever tasted. The chicken was boiled or sous vide and then given char marks on a grill, not roasted, not herbed, just charred. The au jus an overly salted corn starch thickened glaze. The broccolini and polenta on side were good and that's what I ate. The chef needs to fix this item or take it off the menu expeditiously. During dining service we felt bad for the several servers who were dealing with 2 screaming kids running through the dining room and out onto the patio. Several times bumping into servers with trays, the parents, cocktail in hand, barely did anything to attempt to stop them. As a restaurant, if something happened to those children, tray with piping hot pasta, it would be your responsibility, so next time kindly ask them to leave. It was loud and wrong and not the fault of your servers. All in all, I will have to take Locale off my list of restaurants to recommend for Italian food in Tucson, it was always the first place I recommend.

They have two large fans above the shaded outdoor area which kept things at a comfortable temp even though it was in the high 90s at the time. As usual, their food was delicious. We ordered 4 pizzas and all were good. We particularly liked the Chiles and Cream Pizza, Everything Pizza, and the Pesto Pizza. Some in our group had the Penne Pesto Pasta with chicken and my wife and I shared the Penne Arrabbiate with meatballs, and both were fantastic, and the server automatically split the dishes for us. The dessert, Lemon Posset, I still remember from last time and have longed to try it again, and it was a hit. We were sad though that they only had 3 left since our group of 9 would have had more if they had it. Delicious!

Busy on a Weds 330PM shortly after doors open, after 2 days off, but understand it fills up even own the patio and after tasting you'll know why :) Fine dusted parm topped a zesty house dressed $13 Caesar that was pre-split for sharing. House croutons need more of a blast in that wooded oven to crisp up as they were limp and doughy but still polished off the greens. 4/5* Love me some Mortadella and hard to find on menus even in an Italian Grinder here, so my focus lasered in on Tony Balona $18 with Burrata, smoked mozz (didn't taste any smoke) and pistachio dust (very minimal at center, wah), thick swirls of pistachio pesto and switched red sauce for garlic oil, a thin simple sauce. Pistachio not really noticeable in pesto or dust, I really enjoyed my pie, though its not as complex tasting as you might believe. Dough with it's black blisters definitely shines. 5/5* Hub's Classic Pepperoni $17 was flooded in lil' crispy cups; devoured! Happy Hour Bonus 3-6P weekdays, $2 off Appys incl our Salad. $10 cocktails ($6 off!) and $6 Drafts & house wines. Beechwood Brewing centraholic West Coast IPA 7% ABV, a Golden hoppy entry with med bitter to end, Light body and lasting Creamy head was a great pizza accompaniment, as was a regular vs White Negroni on menu. Had an herbal syrup less bitter front than a typical in your face Campari sip. Service was efficient. Water carafe to table on seating. Sure hope they save the water left over given the constant desert shortage, as we only drank 1/3 due to our ABV glasses.

Even though the restaurant was open for business they did not answer the phone! Warning! I finally had my call answered in the evening and made our reservation and informed them that we were interested in the 'Cheese Wheel Linguine' as you are required. We were then informed while ordering that they would not be doing the 'wheel' due to 'callouts' that night. OK, so I tried to order (4) different bottles of Chardonnay and they were out of three of them. We started with an appetizer of 'calamari' and it came 'burnt' and like rubber. We also ordered their famous Caesar Salad and were never served. We then decided to order a pizza which was served to us cold, uncooked and doughy. The poor wait staff and cooks are not managed correctly and were well over whelmed with no help. I was informed that the restaurant has 'new ownership' as they were purchased by 'Flying Leap Vineyards' and have been recently having staffing issues, inventory issue's and the new owners have cut back on everything. They did credit us on our bill for the cold uncooked pizza and the burnt calamari that was not edible. Our waiter felt so bad but, as we told him it was not his fault we were leaving without eating dinner 90 minutes later. Flying Leap Vineyards needs to somehow overcome this type of quality and improve things in a hurry otherwise ' just shut the doors' and sell Wine!
