Pinky Food & Drinks Sestriere

We got to Sestriere pretty late on the first day, so we looked for an easy meal. We found Pinkys and were super happy with our first meal of pizza and pasta. We even went back on the second night because we had such a great time, and they recognized us and said hi warmly. The pork shank was amazing, seriously, you gotta try it if you eat here. This place was so friendly, and the food was top-notch, so you guessed it, we went back on our third and last night too. The owners chatted with us and made us feel like family. It's safe to say when we go back to Sestriere, we're definitely eating at this place again. Lots of love from Australia. Grazie

Tourist trap - €8 for 1 liter of tap water. Tried to charge our party of 5 (of which 4 people dined) a service change for 6 people. Beer so expensive it makes the airport look reasonable. In short, abysmal. DO NOT DINE HERE, go ANYWHERE else such as Da Costas (4 min down the road). --- Dined here with my family of 5, upon being seated (center of the restaurant) we asked if we could instead move to one of the tables by the window overlooking the square, we were told no, as those were tables for 7 or 8 (spoiler, for the duration of our meal, those tables remained empty). Upon being seated, waiter asked if we wanted water for the table, we said yes, and that tap water would be fine. Skipping past the mediocre food at London prices and straight to the bill. We were very surprised to see that a service charge of €3.50 x6 was added to our bill (along with €8 for tap water). Our waiter advised us that the service charge was for things like free bread, etc. To which we immedialty responded "We did not get any free bread", after which they defaulted to some dribble about "silverware" etc (nonsense). We did not recieve anything "complimentary" which would justify such a charge, ontop of the already overpriced menu. After about 2 min of arguing the waiter admitted the Service charge was incorrect but said the reason the water was €8 for tap water was because it was filtered tap water (You cant make this stuff up). Very deceitful restaurant. Save your sanity. Go ANYWHERE else for either the same quality food for half the price or the same price for a better experience. Da costas was half the price, double the quality and tripple the service. Da Costas all the way!

We were recommended this place for an early pizza after our day on the piste. The server was very slow, and actually a table of 4 who arrived after us, were served first. When our food came, we weren’t offered any condiments and had to get these ourselves. We ordered a coke and a small beer to go with our pizzas. When we asked for the bill, we were so shocked to see that a cover charge of €3.50 per person was added (justified if the service was good) and our drinks alone were €11. More than the restaurants 2000m up the mountain. When I questioned this bill, the owner raised his voice and said “are you here on holiday or are you here to cause trouble” So so so rude, we love this resort and this is our fifth time visiting. But this was our 1st and last at this rip off rude restaurant.

If you’re looking for a night of entertainment, come here. It was hilariously disappointing. We arrived at 6:30 and were told pizza could not be ordered until 7:00, and that we couldn’t sit and wait with drinks. No problem, we left and went to a local bar instead. We returned at 7:30, sat down and promptly ordered four pizzas, a glass of wine and mozzarella sticks. The wine and sticks arrived quickly and all seemed fine. Unfortunately, we then waited an hour and a half for four pizzas. We asked the waiter for an update, he said he would check and never returned. We asked again and were told “five minutes”. Fifteen minutes later, still nothing. No bread, no water, no explanation for the delay. Considering an Italian pizza is usually cooked in around 90 seconds, I have no idea what was happening in the kitchen. Overall, we left disappointed, frustrated, and having spent far too much time in a place we should never have entered.

Avoid at all costs if you’re a tourist. The owner is a con artist. Tried to charge us x3 extra drinks (wine and beer) over what we ordered - if we hadn’t asked to split the bill we would have never found this out. Owner was extremely rude and the waitress also, she did not know who had ordered what from what table. Pizza was ok - I wanted a margarita pizza and a beer, my individual bill came to 33.50 euros. It was 18 on the menu

Food was amazing if a little expensive for the area. The carbonara was top notch. I asked for tap water and was told “no we only have bottled water”. Then they brought me an opened bottle of tap water and charged me for it. Kind of scammy and left a bad taste in my mouth

Weird vibe, mediocre pizza. Charged 32 euro for a 10 euro pizza and 2 drinks due to cover charges and absurd “plate splitting fee”. No spare plate offered, no glass or ice offered for soft drink, no check in after food arrives, no eye contact.

Absolute con artists! They wouldn't let us split the bill and pay for our food individually (party of three), the owner flat out lied to our faces and said "it's impossible, the system can't do it". €30.50 each although two of out party had only had a €10 pizza and a coke. We questioned this and he said we'd also had two glasses of wine and two beers...the whole time he was becoming more and more belligerent and shouting at us. An unpleasant experience - do not give these people your money!
