It was gorgeous inside, our waitress, Miley, may the entire experience worth it. She was so happy and kind to everybody. The dessert and brussel sprouts were incredible, however, the ententes and pasta were lackluster. everything looks incredibly advertising on the menu, but the pasta dishes and Caesar salad were missing flavor. If more flavour was added to the dishes, this would be a 5/5 review.

Our server was very aware of what we needed and saw to it we had full water glasses. She had excellent recommendations. Everyone loved what they ordered. We had lasagna, fettuccine, and steak. We started with bruschetta, Caesar salad, and arancini. We made reservations, I would recommend doing that.

If you’re looking for Italian food with great value then I highly recommend coming to Trattoria Don Pietro. One of the best experiences I’ve had in any restaurant as well as some of the best pasta I have ever tasted. I am definitely going back.

Food was excellent , but too spicy. No real Italian food isn’t as spicy as that. Too bad, couldn’t feel the real taste and savor of the seafood pasta
