Pietro's Famiglia

I've had this place on my list for a while and finally got around to visiting. What a great little place, amazing service and even better food!

Ok so I went here on valentines day and it of course was busy. I did have a reservation so I didn't believe it would be terrible but it was. We were not seated until after an hour past our reservation time. So, it was not a great start. There is part of the ceiling which is falling down from a water leak and overall the condition of the restaurant is just unkempt. If the manager or whoever opening would take a out 20 mins to wipe off the ceiling around the air vents it would make a world of difference and while the plastic vines and decorations were cleaned it would be much more charming. However, dirt and dust seem to be the charming theme at this place. Ok then we got sat, which was great. The waiter seemed to be attentive as he could be while they were overloaded with customers. We had the scallops for an appetizer, and they were absolutely delicious. If I were to ever come back that would be the only reason. I got a veal dish which I pictured in this review. It was boiled meat in a bath of flavorless warm water. The pasta was cooked fine but that should never be an issue. I am serious when I say I am not sure if the veal actually touched a pan. The fat on the meat also was not rendered. My partner order chicken Alfredo, and while the chicken was cooked well, she also got the soup version of the dish. Her pasta was sitting in about 1/2 inches of white water. Dessert was no savior as I had the creme Brule that had the texture of reduced milk with protien powder on it and the top burnt to a charcoal taste. So I will never go back to this restaurant and I would NOT recommend it. Total cost of dinner was 130 bucks without drinks. Oh yeah we also received no bread to the table. Not sure if we were supposed to get it or not. A waiter at the end of them meal did offer us the left over bread from another table that had left.

I love this place. Each time I try and order something different and I have never been disappointed. The food is reasonably priced especially for the quality and portions that you get. The wine selection, desserts, everything, this place is great.

Excellent food and service. I had a veal ribeye special that was amazing.

The lamb chops were excellent! Dietary restrictions: They were able to satisfy my friend's request for a dish without eggs.

Seating and service was excellent. Bread was cut too hot so it just fell apart and was difficult to butter or dip. Salad was very oily. I had the most expensive pasta. It came with an inch of twisted up wire in the middle of it. The lobster cream sauce was overwhelming cheese. The sauce on the shrimp "scampi" was mostly lemon. Veggies were mostly raw with light grilling. Not impressed. Good tiramisu.
