Pastina Rustic Italian Restaurant

Absolutely Incredible Service and Outstanding Presentation of the Food. Beautiful Décor. Very Clean Restroom. The fun part was the other customers were not shy about talking to You‼️ It was like Family. Male & Female bar keeps were quick to Serve and Little wait time. I enJoyed giving them Both a 20$ to split‼️

The food was nicely presented but too oily. The butternut squash ravioli was flavorful, but dripping with oil, not brown butter sauce as advertised. Service was friendly and very attentive.

We had a terrific dinner tonight with Caleigh as our waitress. She was phenomenal as usual, with all our special requests. I had chicken parmigiana and my husband had the Truffle ravioli which he loves. Their salads are awesome with the amazing homemade focaccia bread was delicious. Definitely great service and will be coming back!

This place has been the toney Italian spot in Mentor for a while. That said I think, although the food is excellent, it is way overpriced. Yes the calamari was tender and not over breaded but it is supposed to be rings not noticeable tentacles and the quantity for 17 is quite small. Also the 3 cheese ravioli was the best I have eaten but 8 pieces is not much for the price. The bread was excellent but they offered no more. Stuffed peppers and shrimp diavolo were also great. Our server was extremely slow as was food service. Sorry it's not for me. Other places are quite nearly as good and much less pricey. Oh and zero cell service.

Stopped at Pastina by chance while passing through Mentor and was pleasantly surprised with our impromptu decision. My girlfriend and I both ordered pasta dishes and agreed both plates were delicious. My highlight however came from Roger the bartender who took a legitimate interest in my taste in cocktails (bourbon) and steered me towards a twist on a manhattan which I wouldn’t normally order. The drink was divine and he even offered me the build and measurements that he used so that I could recreate it. Truly awesome service and we will absolutely return.
