Pino Alto Restaurant

"My assistant chef and I had a delicious lunch by the fire in this beautiful venue. Support Cabrillo College and make your lunch reservation soon. Class will be over in a fee weeks."

"This restaurant is staffed by students in the Cabrillo College culinary program. Only open during the week, but that setting is phenomenal. Nice low-key dining experience, and they have a wine list. Wonderful midweek date night."

"Wonderful experience taking advantage of students learning the restaurant business. Delicious food, beautifully presented in a lovely setting. Thank you for keeping us warm with the heat lamps on a chilly Aptos evening."

"The food is always good and for reasonable prices. The chef and students care about service and the food lending a level of sincerity not found elsewhere."

"The lunch menu rotates every two week with different theme from Italian, French, Asian to American. Most ingredients such as bread, soup, entree and dessert are prepared fresh by chefs and training students. The set menu is reasonably priced between $10 and $15, which includes salad, bread, soup and your choice of entree. No reservation is needed for the lunch time but is highly recommend for dinner service."
