About Da Pino Pizzeria e Cucina

Tucked along a quiet Box Hill North strip, Da Pino delivers regional Italian plates and blistered pizzas without the usual commercial rush. Easy street parking sets a relaxed pace right from arrival. Regulars bypass franchise chains for the kitchen's standout spaghetti nero di seppia—tossed with tender, fresh seafood—or whole baby snapper served as a hearty secondi. Frank and his family run the floor with warm, familiar attentiveness, pouring local Yarra Valley pinot while tables linger over plates of eggplant parmigiana and house tiramisu.

  • Squid ink pasta and seafood regionality: Tossed al dente with fresh seafood alongside fresh whole baby snapper and crisp-edged carni pizza.
  • Warm, family-run hospitality: Hands-on hosting from Frank and his team creates a relaxed, unhurried neighborhood dining room.

  • Melenzane Alla Parmigiana

    We had the Melenzane Alla Parmigiana to start off the dinner. Even though the sauce was tomato base but it is not sour at all. Just fit with the eggplant and the aftertaste is smooth in the mouth.
