My wife and I went to Pendolino last night for an early dinner before going to a concert. We ordered drinks and then a buratta pizzette as an appetizer to split. After that we ordered a pasta dish, the gulf shrimp alla vodka, as an entree to split. Everything was great. My only complaint is my wife's first cocktail, a Mama Mia, came to our table much later than expected, but the rest of the food and drink items came fast. We've been to Pendolino several times and will be back soon.

We had a wonderful dining experience. The ambience was evident. Harry the manager was pleasant, courteous and meticulous about the quality and service of the establishment. During our sitting he stopped by to make sure we were pleased with the service and quality of the food. We will definitely dine in Parkwoods again and refer our friends, colleagues and family.

This was a great experience for my wife and daughter for Mother’s Day. The ambience and setting for this was truly amazing! Food was good-next time just do a better job of keeping the food warm. Service was so so. 2 servers for about 8-10 tables outside. Live music was truly on point. A sax and guitar vocalist that were great. A great time. Will be back.
