Fantastic experience. Quality of food was outstanding with service to match. There was a very collaborative approach amongst the staff in serving and attentiveness to tables. Everything we had was fantastic and although it’s a pricy restaurant the service and taste is well worth it. We both felt it was the best food we had in a very long time. We had the ravioli appetizer, salmon special, short rib ragu,, table side Caesar salad and peanut butter bar dessert. Pictures don’t do justice.

When open for the summer season there is, without doubt, nowhere better to eat within a hundred miles! The staff are so pleasant and efficient without being overbearing. The food is exquisite. It is a little on the expensive side with the wines having a large mark-up, but in this location you really can't be too hard on that.

A great experience at an authentic Italian restaurant! The staff were friendly and did a great job. Our server was knowledgeable, more than efficient and made great recommendations! The food was incredible; I had the scallops and Atlantic lobster spaghettini and it was so delicious.

Been looking forward to giving Pietro a try for quite awhile now and we finally made it happen. Booked in advance so we could sit outside, the weather chose not to cooperate entirely but with the help of heaters, all was good. Food was great, reasonable price point, great service, wonderful location.

Love, love, love Pietro’s. I hate to leave a bad review. It was so loud we couldnt hear ourselves think. We all had the special, strip steak Oscar, with Bernaise and lobster bits. The bernaise and lobster was ‘Excellent’, but the steak wasn’t. It was so rare and we asked for medium. Upon checking with us, it was all good. The steaks weren’t evenly cut so the thick side left a decent size chunk of cold rare meat with the silver skin still very intact. Very disappointing. Crème brûlée was very runny at the bottom, not cool enough. But we will be back😟

We loved it as usual, however we thought the chicken special was a little over priced and no seasoning on it? I’ve never had a bad meal here. My only complaint would have the chicken been a bit seasoned. Otherwise as usual everything was done on point and will always send reviews to people that have never been there. Thanks Gary

Absolutely fabulous restaurant, you will not be disappointed! My only issue was we sat outside and dining room was completely full, and server’s would not be able to get to the outside tables frequent enough, but very low complaint. I realize with a very busy place, this can be a challenge, but staff worked best they could.
