    The service is always impeccable! Everyone is very friendly, attentive and personable . The food is delicious, you will not be disappointed what so ever. The portions size are more than enough and food comes out nice and hot. The igloos are absolutely such a nice experience. The igloos are nicely decorated and are tempered controlled.

    Pietro’s of East Meadow is truly a hidden gem! I’ve been coming here for years, and every time, it’s nothing short of fantastic. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a warm, family-friendly atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The staff is always so welcoming and attentive, and this time, we had the pleasure of being served by Elva, who was an absolute delight. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal.

    everything was delicious - meatballs x 3, baked ziti (a little less cheese maybe), capellini appetizer excellent, mozzarella squares, outrageous! Wait staff was extremely attentive. I'd go there again in a heartbeat!
    Pietro's of East MeadowResponded 5 days ago
    Thank you for the fantastic feedback! We’re thrilled to hear you loved everything—especially the meatballs, capellini cakes, and those “outrageous” mozzarella squares! We’ll keep your note about the cheese on the baked ziti in mind; your input helps us improve. In the future you can even request light cheese as it is made to order every time! Our team will be so happy to hear their attentiveness made your visit even better. We can’t wait to welcome you back!

    We had dinner in one of the outdoor igloos at Pietro’s and it was a 10/10 experience!! It was November so chilly nights but it was so warm in the igloo blocked out most sound and couldn’t hear any of the other igloos around.. the wait staff were friendly and attentive food was 10/10 as wel! Wish prices were a little lower but that’s the only thing I have to complain about!
    Pietro's of East MeadowResponded 5 days ago
    Thank you for the fantastic review, Jaime! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the cozy igloo experience and that both the food and service hit the mark. Our team works hard to make each visit special, and it’s wonderful to know it showed! We understand that pricing can be a concern, but we’re committed to providing the best quality—from our amazing staff to top-tier ingredients and unique decor. Plus, we don’t charge credit card fees and absorb that cost to make things more affordable for our guests. Hope to see you again soon for another 10/10 visit!
