What People Are Saying About Caffe Pinguini

Citysearch
In Short – Casual couples fill the rustic, candlelit interior, and the nearby ocean's scent provides the patio a seaside ambience. Meals begin with shared appetizers and salads like spinach pepperoncino, sauteed with garlic and chili peppers. Pasta favorites include linguini mare brimming with mussels, clams, shrimp and calamari in white-wine sauce, and Gorgonzola cheese-stuffed rigatoni. Additional choices range from veal entrees to smoked salmon pizza. The daily specials and house-recipe tiramisu bolster the classic Italian menu.

Best Italian Food Outside of Italy!
by pmancini12 at Citysearch
This is a great restaurant with always excellent service. We have been coming here for years, and have never been disappointed. As Italians who eat Italian food all the time, Caffe Pinguini is excellent. Highly recommend for intimate dinners, or families - the room has a great feel and waiters are conscientious and friendly.
- Pros: Ambience, Service, Great Food, Authentic Italian
- Cons: None

Good Italian food, great service
by sammychez at Citysearch
We had reservations as a group of 10 and a few more people showed up to join us. The owners were very accommodating for a Saturday night - as it was busy. We were treated like kings. The food was fresh and I think I tasted a bite from everyone's plate. I had the seabass and my wife had a special ravioli and we started w/the smoked mozzarella with shitake mushrooms. Good wine list. True Italian waiters. Delightful!
- Pros: Authentic Italian cuisine, patio seating, seating at the bar, good service
