The pasta is not seasoned and definitely well overcooked; as though the pasta was cooked in unsalted water and left 5 minutes too long.Both the meat and marinara sauces are not seasoned and definitely not fresh. As though the sauces were made a week ago and nuked before plating. The sauces seemed to have coagulated and do not look appealing.The pesto pasta followed the same theme of missing flavor and overcooked pasta. The pesto itself actually had a better flavor profile than the marinara sauce.The included bread wasn't much to write home about. The side salads & Italian dressing were just "meh." We also ordered a tiramisu, but it doesn't look appetizing nor fresh.Will not be giving this place anymore business.

Tried minestrone soup and it tasted like canned soup with added red beans. The small house salad was good but not worth it for the price. We ordered the calzone which it had a nice presentation, however the cheese tasted cheap as though it were bulk mozzarella from Walmart. The marinara sauce tasted very bland as if it was out of a can as well. They were late with our wine as though they were still chilling it. Considering all the Italian restaurants we have tried, we have never experienced this amount of acid immediately after eating. The service was good, except the music did not make us feel like we were in an Italian restaurant whatsoever. If you're looking for an affordable Italian restaurant this place is nice, but it does not seem to be authentic and it is not the highest quality you will find.

It's no longer a pizza pie. It's got different red sauce. A strange flavor I don't prefer

They need to turn down the loud rock music and put on Italian music, and dim the lights like the old days, it used to be a real Traditional Italian restaurant it was always packed. Now it went south since the owner sold it 4 years ago. ?

Loved the food. Great customer service. Nice and well-kept a nice little spot to go and visit a Hidden Jewel! Got at least try it once! Thank you staff of Pietros! Keep up all the good work and God bless you!

Great atmosphere and the staff are top notch. Great food hot and fresh and just as ordered. Very clean restaurant and fast service. Will definitely be going back.

Cool little restaurant that has been here forever. Excellent service and good food. I have had fettucine alfredo and a calzone here on different visits. Both were delish. The small calzone was big enough to feed my wife and I and taje some home too.

Dining in or take out its all the same. The food is good and the price is reasonable. The service is always with a smile.

Actually amazing.

The place was a pleasant surprise. I didn't have any expectations when coming in. Way craving Italian food and this was a suggestion.I'm happy I came here. The food was good, the service was good, the atmosphere was the only odd thing. They had classic rock playing but had the tv on also with the volume up so you couldn't listen to either. But besides that minor detail everything else was good.Will be coming back to try more of the food. I only had a spaghetti with meat sauce, garlic bread, and minestrone soup.
