Pastina Rustic Italian - Mentor

Service and food is always great. Locally sourced poultry, pasta scratch made house, fantastic wine list. I always get the stuffed banana peppers. The alfredo is as good as it gets.....buttery, creamy, absolutely perfect. Pastina is easily thecleanest restaurant in Lake County. Roger at the bar is super, everything runs smooth when he is there.

Locally grown raised ingredients, home made pasta marinara sauce a taste of Rome in Mentor Ohio! We stopped in to celebrate our anniversary, this place is nice enough for a special event and casual enough for a lunch or dinner. We ordered theveal parmigiana, came with home made linguine. We also had fettucine marina with meatballs and a side salad. Both were generousportions that tasted great! An extensive wine list is offered for those with a palate for a nice vino. We left full satisfied.

Excellent food and wine. We had some wonderful nebiolo wine and ate with delite chicken marsala and Bolognese.

Easily became my favorite Italian place to eat. Everything is made there, literally. The bread and oil sauce they give you while you wait is phenomenal. We bought that sauce to go for at home it was so good. The raviolis we're the best I've ever hadanywhere. Hands down. The mushroom pasta my girlfriend got was tasty! Great flavor. The salads were awesome! The dressings wereawesome! Good size for a salad too. I didn't have a cannoli but my mother did and she said it was the best she's everhad. Will be back many many times. I'll be trying many different dishes.

The salmon dish is arguably the best dish Pastina has made. It was recently added to their menu after being on special for a few weekends. All components work so well separately and even better together. The cocktails here are always delicious and wellcrafted. And the service is on point. Pizza is delicious as well. You can't go wrong. All around good experience.
