Our visit this time was for a family birthday, we went to Haydock Races in the afternoon and this just finished our day beautifully. We are always made to feel special and nothing is to much trouble. Food was excellent as always and large portions. We have been coming to this restaurant for many many years and never been disappointed - always feel relaxed, due to the friendly owner and staff.

You will be hard pressed to find an authentic Italian Bistro better than Don Pino, Golborne. This establishment has been feeding the local and wider community for years with incredible rustic Italian food. Far better value than other “supposedly “ high end venues. Excellent quality food, wonderful service and value for money. Long may you stay open, we love it 👍 Barry

Whilst we have been coming to this oasis of culinary delight for many years, it is going through a renaissance post coming lockdown....the food is superb, the atmosphere Italian, the welcome genuine. I have eaten in many of italies great cities but they pale o to insignificance to Do Pinos. I am reluctant to post just how good it is for fear of starting a rush but....it is one for the bucket list!!

This restaurant has been established for 30 years in Golborne, nr Wigan. Which I think is a major achievement in this day and age. So many local businesses losing trade on the local high street.

I tried to book her for Saturday night (25/03/17) at half past 5 for 8pm, they were fully booked, so I asked for a table for 9pm and they told me that should be OK. I arrived and 9 and was pleased to see that Golbornes only Italian was filled to the rafters, unfortunaltly the table we were supposed to be seated at had taken longer than expected, as my wife had to be in work at 7am we decided to have a take away and ordered. I returned 15 mins later and the place was still heaving! We had pizza (And lovely made to order!) and it was wonderful! This is a gem of Golborne.

Booked a table for 2 for 7pm as this restaurant can get busy. Can't fault the service & attentiveness of the waitress fab. It's not a classy place very down to earth & what you see is what you get. We had garlic bread with cheese to share yummy, a 1L carafe of house red wine, my partner had ribs & I had meatballs to start again delicious & served prompt & hot. For main my partner had a spicy, meaty pizza & I had chicken stroganoff with rice again very nice not the best I've had but can't fault. Restaurant only small so hit & miss where you are seated unfortunately we was sat by toilets & next to a large party with kids playing on iPads not ideal but can't control that & it didn't spoil the evening.

We popped in on Wednesday for a late meal, because my wife is "watching her figure" we enquired about a couple of dishes and the chef said he could make them to order without (in this instance) cream. The garlic bread was also made to order (no cheese, but with onions). This is the kind of service you dont & cant get in big chains. This is a lovely little gem in Golborne, and one of only 2 restaurants. Thank you, great meal! (I finished mine the next day, I'm not a bit eater and there was no problem getting a doggy bag)

We hadn't been to Don Pinos for a few years, as our last visit was a little disappointing, having been "on the money" on many previous visits!! We decided to try it again with friends who,had also not been for a good while. We were pleasantly surprised, it's had a mini make over and although still a traditional trattoria, it is much lighter inside. We think it's been taken over, although the chef has remained constant we believe....which is good! The food, especially their cannelloni, always a favourite, is very nice. Their king prawns with white wine and zambucca starter is "to die for" just gorgeous!! Definitely worth a visit, not expensive either. Small so probably best to book at the weekends.

The food is always good and the service attentive. It's a decent trattoria with some dishes I've come to love, including the Sambuca prawns. It can be a little heavy on the chilli at times but that's only my preference and they're happy to adjust the dish.Worth investigating.

This small restaurant is an absolute treasure. I have eaten here before and felt compelled to tell the world how good it is. All items are extremely reasonably priced and the quality of the food produced by their Italian chef is the best I have had since my trip to Rome last summer. I had the superb homemade minestrone soup, which surprisingly came with a basket of toasted bread, my wife and the other lady had the breaded garlic mushrooms which they thoroughly enjoyed. For our mains the couple with us had the vegetable Risotto as they are vegetarian and the loved it. My wife and I had the chicken and mushroom risotto it was a good portion and of excellent quality. In the past we have enjoyed various pizzas, and pasta dishes. I once ordered the Pork Diavola and it was spicy, however the rich flavours made it a dish I would not soon forget. The staff are extremely friendly customer focused and attentative. Go with, family go with friends, go now. Make sure you book a table in advance.

Visited in Feb for valentines and had a really nice meal so we decided to go back again and give it another try.We Returned this weekend and found things were just as good as our last visit. The staff are very friendly and attentive and we were shown a table straight away.We had a jug of half litre house wine which was really impressive and just £7. It's probably the best house wine I've had anywhere especially at that price! To start we had a half tomato and half cheese garlic bread to start and really enjoyed it.For mains my girlfriend had a lasagne and I had spaghetti Bolognese and we both sent the plates back empty even though they were really big portions! We also had a rich house salad on the side which was very fresh and tasty and had a really nice chocolate desert to finish.It's a small restaurant but very authentic and intimate and had a great atmosphere. It's very clean and you can tell the staff take pride in what they do. The lovely Italian themed decor also stood out.Overall after a 2nd visit I still think this place is a little gem and we'll definitely try and go more often!

Been visiting don pino's for at least 15yrs & have noted the changes over the years - it's now bigger & on our recent visit there was a new front of house head - who was very friendly & pleasant. We always have the same (boring I am) i.e. the don pino special recipe steak & it's about the only place I have been which consistently cooks my steak exactly as I like it. We don't bother with any of the bottled wine choices as the house wine is always palatable (we go for red). We also rarely have a starter as main meal portions I think are very generous & we couldn't finish it when we have had a starter in the past. However we have had the garlic or garlic & cheese bread (if our daughter & partner are with us) & because they were on this occasion it was as nice as it's always been - only ever had to send back something - some garlic prawns my daughter had (a bit frozen) & that was about 3yrs ago)We also rarely bother with a sweet but daughter loves their white chocolate profiteroles (not available on recent visit boo goo) she says they are to die for! What I do enjoy is a coffee with Bacardi in - don't like whiskey or brandy - & it's always made to perfection.A final note - I actually miss don pino from front of restaurant as I did find him rather dour & saw it as a challenge to get a smile from him. It says something about the food & the chef if we persisted in going back despite don pino rarely smiling

I went over Valentines weekend with my girlfriend having heard about Don Pino from a friend. I love Italian food but usually i go for the Italian chain restaurants so it was nice to find an authentic Italian to visit.I'm so glad we did as It was fantastic from start to finish. Its only a small restaurant but that adds to the character and atmosphere. Its impeccably clean and decorated to a high standard and the music selection was very chilled and relaxed.The food was amazing, the staff friendly, service good and the prices very reasonable! Drink prices were also really reasonable with half a litre of (very nice) house wine just £7. We had the Tomato garlic bread to start which was lovely and rich then i had a spaghetti bolognese main and my girlfriend opted for Lasagne and a side salad. They were all delicious. The side salad was so fresh and topped with olive oil. Yum! We didn't have a desert as the portions were quite big and we were both really full.I noticed like ours nearly all the plates going back to the kitchen were empty - (usually the sign of very good food) so i think i could recommend almost any dish there.To top it off the Italian chef even gave my girlfriend a rose as we left - more brownie points for me!There seemed to be a lot of regulars who knew the staff and its not surprising given our experience. We will definitely be going back to my new favorite place to eat Italian!

Visited Don Pino's a few times now and we just do not see the hype.Had the Garlic Bread to start with and it's like eating cardboard - burnt to a crisp. I had the pizza for a main and it was burnt around the edges. They dont have any drinks on draft - they are all out of a can and are very flat. Even the lemonade is from a 1 litre sprite bottle! And that must have been there for days because it was so flat. Drinks are ridiculously over priced for what they are.As I have mentioned, I have been a couple of times just to see whether this was just me and I must say it can't be. The service is average at best. They have an offer - 2 courses for 9.95 during the week (Sunday - Thursday). We went in during this time and this menu was never offered to us at first. We had to ask for it and when we did the woman flippantly remarked "oh... the cheap menu". If that is how you feel about it dont offer it! Very average. I have never been blown away here. Ariete in Newton Le Willows or Pasquales in Ashton or La Cava in Hindley are far better Italian restaurants. I'll not be wasting my money in here. Food average. Service average. And the drinks are terrible !

Excellent food with good choice and enormous portions and very friendly. Specials available also. Used a tastecard but its very reasonably priced without. Very cheap set menu for two before 9pm (probably not at weekends and not on TC). Excellent house wine also. Less than 2 miles from Holiday Inn Haydock (M6 Jct23) and a far better choice than overpriced hotel food. Looks unassuming on a street with a few shops and houses and we missed it on the first drive past.

We used to live near here and frequented this place numerous times. If you like Italian you can't get better than this and .... The owner is Italian so makes it all the better and authentic! Service is great, food is delicious and price is right!

After recently moving to the area we decided to try Don Pino based on the reviews, although it doesn't look much from the outside we were pleased to enter and find a relaxing, cosy atmosphere. The waitress was very professional, just the right amount of friendliness without interference and always there when you needed her. Food was tasty, hot and quickly served. All in all it was a relief to go somewhere local and not feel like outsiders but immediately straight at home - we'll be back!

Came here last night having read the reviews. Really good tasting traditional Italian food at great value is all I can say. Well worth a visit but I would book on a Friday and Saturday.

We recently visited Don Pino with some friends for a dinner. The staff was fantastic. The food was very tasty. The cheese garlic bread that I ordered as a starter was beautiful. My friend ordered the mussels in white wine sauce and which were also very tasty and I ordered as a main the meat lasagna and was great.A lovely evening! I would recommend this place highly!

I vistited this small resturaunt after a friend of mine recommended it to me, but i was worried that they may of charged high prices for low quality food. I couldnt have been more wrong! After being welcomed by a friendly waiter and was shown to a table and handed a menu, ive got to say i was plesantly suprised at the variety of authentic Italian meals on offer for such cheap prices. After long thought of what to get i decided to get a fillet steak which was absolutely melt in the mouth fantastic! I will most defiantly be returning and would recommend this gem to anyone who enjoys food!

If you are looking for a true Italian restaurant, who's chef has a real passion about his food look now further than Don Pino in Golborne, we went for tea on Sunday the food was beautiful, to start we had the garlic pizza topped with tomato chilli & Parmesan on a thin base. this had a real kick to it! Main strips of fillet cooked in a rich tomato/chilli sauce served with rice, my wife had the fillet steak cooked medium rare served with a thick sauce of port, mushroom, onions and mustard served with seasonal vegetables, both dishes were outstanding, for desert we shared the home made tiramisu which I have to say was the best I have had. Well worth a visit!

My husband and I were recommended to Don Pino restaurant 8 years ago. We visit regularly and have always enjoyed an excellent meal. The prices are good and there is a midweek menu competitively priced with starter and main course for £9.95. Last night we enjoyed fresh ministrone soup served with warm toasted bread. For our second course we had sirloin steak with a peppercorn sauce, potato wedges, carrots and brocolli. (steak is £1.50 extra and cooked to perfection.) The vegetables are served in individual dishes. The menu is varied, chicken, pork, salmon, pizzas, pastas so there is something for every taste. We feel this is a lovely restaurant, Toni the chef and owner, and Lorraine front of house made our visit very enjoyable. I would suggest give it a try and you will probably return again and again as we have done.

If you want the hustle and frantic energy that you usually find in many Italian restaurants,, well forget the DON PINO,, because what you will find at the DON PINOat is a warm and welcoming atmosphere , a courteous service, and some of the finest Italian cuisine in the north west my wife and daughter said the Italian fishcakes like they had never had anything like them before,,and i had the best carbonarra i have ever had, and i have had this in Venice, and it was better than that,,and their peppercorn steak is to die for,, and the cost is even nicer than the food

Took my brother and wife, booked early and asked for their best table, on arrival they tried to seat us right by the serving hatch, I politely refused and asked for another table, we were accomodated. The food was incinerated, given everything seems to be pre-prepped and then grilled in a large oven, it was busy and there was only two cooks on. My brother ordered a round of cocktails, 3 cosmopolitan's, it was the worst we had ever had, they should be made with vodka, cointreau, cranberry juice and freshly squeezed or sweetened lime juice having a vivid red colour, unfortunately we had 3 glasses of pale pink ice water, truly ripped off. So disappointing, wont be going back, thats if it ever opens again.

Great atmosphere and food. Service could have been faster at times, but overall it didn't sour the experience!
