I've never been able to find it, so any help would be very much appreciated! Tue Apr 03 11:16:09 -0700 2007 88204 sianwu 1 2446668 You probably mean a place called da Pino, at 4225 Rainier Ave. S. I haven't been, but I read a review somewhere and wrote it down on my list of places to check out. It said they were open 11 am - 7 pm, Monday - Saturday. Tue Apr 03 12:03:33 -0700 2007 2446441 27327 MsMaryMc 2 2447725 Da Pino's wild boar salami is mind-blowing. Highly recommended. http://www.seattleweekly.com/listings/dining/173601/ Tue Apr 03 16:23:46 -0700 2007 2446668 19098 equinoise 3 2449563 Pino's meats top the other salumist's in town by a long shot Wed Apr 04 09:30:28 -0700 2007 2447725 84691 passionfoodie 4 2458542 If you are into Salumi, you might consider a visit to Armandino's Salumi, in the outskirts of Pioneer Square, Across the street (2nd Avenue) from Seattle Lighting. If Pino's is a long shot better than this, I am dying to get there. As good as some of Armandino's salumi are, a person can serve the taste-buds royally by keeping an eye on the special board. The rustic (and sociable) lunches to be had there, ahhh... Fri Apr 06 21:45:02 -0700 2007 2449563 15855 mrnelso 1 2446829 Maybe Remo Borachinni's? They're a mini grocery store and bakery too though, so maybe not.... But they do sell the above mentioned cured tasty meats.

It's worth driving well out of your way to enjoy their meats or lunch sandwiches. Even the vegatable sandwich is that good.

And sometimes this Australian guy on a bike shows up with desserts, he makes a mean cheesecake. I'd go for his stuff over the imported Italian desserts. The only downsides to his place is he usually won't slice the meat and the hours are somewhat erratic. Wed Jun 20 13:42:35 -0700 2007 2446441 14016 ceester
