Our experience at pietros could not be beat! The staff was so attentive and so so nice! The food was absolutely delicious and don’t forget to add a glass of pop-secco! We were in the igloos and had private dining complete with Carolers and all. The owners were unbelievable and so accommodating. We honestly made amazing memories that night that will last a lifetime! Thank you for bringing Christmas magic to our family that evening🎄
