The shrimp and bacon pasta was incredible and the crawfish pasta was good. I wish I saved money by not getting the cheese garlic bread sticks since the plain garlic bread is free I live and I learn. All at a very reasonable price. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because there was a urinal screen in the sink... and that's nasty.

I've been going here for many years and I have yet to find better alfredo sauce anywhere else. The atmosphere is amazing and the service is always great. My husband and I moved out of the area a few years ago, but every time we come back into town, we stop at Pintoli's.

Update Sept. 29 2012 Service was great as usual. Spaghetti with meatballs was excellent. Learning to ignore the classic rock. Update Mar 31 Decided to give them another go. Ordered the spaghetti and meatballs and was very pleased. Service was still great but the music was still annoying. 2/3 is a good improvement. Original review from jan 17 The service was outstanding. Our server Jamie was polite and cheerful. Unfortunately the food was just passable. My meal came out room temperature. The alfredo sauce was like glue. The highlight of my meal was the meatball which I ordered on the side, absolutely delicious. At $50+ for 3 people the cost was standard. I enjoy classic rock now and then but its not what I expect to hear playing in an Italian restaurant.
