Scratch-Made Italian, Rooted in Tradition
Pastina Rustic Italian Restaurant — The Longo and Greci families cook the way they were raised, making everything by hand every day right here in Mentor, Ohio. Fresh ingredients, time-honored recipes, and family traditions come together in every dish.
Fresh Pasta, Pulled Mozzarella, Ohio Farms
We shape fresh pasta every morning through an Italian pasta machine and pull our own mozzarella daily. Beef and pork come from New Creation Farms, chicken from Gerber Farms — because shortcuts don't taste like anything worth remembering.
From the Kitchen
The Bar
Sixteen craft beers on tap, an Italian-leaning wine list, and house cocktails like our Passion Fruit Proposal and Kentucky Maid. A good reason to arrive early.
Private Dining
Birthdays, anniversaries, corporate dinners — we host them all with the same scratch kitchen and full bar. Reach out and we'll take care of the rest.
Grown Up in Kitchens, Rooted in Mentor
Pastina Rustic Italian is a family restaurant in the truest sense — founded by two families who grew up cooking and believe, without reservation, that food is the bond that binds us all.
