Would love to return at an off-peak time for the excellent food but the noise level was intolerable at peak on a Fri night. The space is small with tables close together. Only 2 booths: I submitted requests for one with my OT reservation, message via restaurant website, AND by phoning in that afternoon: totally ignored. Noise undermined what was planned as a special birthday celebration for 4. Disappointed with this 1st experience at this restaurant.

PIACERE MIO is a gem in an area where there are so many choices. What makes it so special is the combination of people who really seem to love their job, and a chef who really knows how to cook! Service is very efficient, but also relaxed…courses are never rushed. Portions are the perfect size, with appetizers easy to share. Unique items are the stuffed figs, and the stuffed zucchini blossoms…which they seem to have year round! The beet salad is lovely and also shareable. For entrees, the salmon is always perfect, the short ribs with luscious creamy risotto is off the charts, and all the pasta dishes perfect. Our favorite is the Rustico! The owners and management here seem to care about everything..especially their guests, and food quality. In our opinion, the best food in the area. Reservations recommended!

Food is exceptional. It’s our local go to whenever we have friends in town or we want a good quality and nice dinner out. Food is consistently good. Wine lost is extensive and fairly priced (1/2 priced bottles on Mondays). The bear salad with goat cheese is always a favorite. The pastas are perfectly prepared and the meat dishes are flavorful and satisfying. Good food, done well. After writing this review I’m thinking we’re going to have to dine again there this weekend!!

We can't get enough of this neighborhood gem. Crab Cake and Octopus appetizers were a great start. Chianti Pear salad led us into dinner of Chicken Saltimbocca and Veal Marsala. Both were delicious. Evon (our waiter) was attentive as always. We always enjoy having Jose and Paco stop by our table during our visit. Plan on seeing you soon!

My boyfriend and I spent NYE here. The food was amazing and service was outstanding. The noise level was perfect. I really enjoyed the fact that it there wasn’t loud music blasting in our ears and the music loud enough where you could hear it in the background. The NYE decorations were really nice but not overdone.
