A local staple! My family has been dining here for many years, and they are consistently good, even with the staff shortages that every restaurant is facing right now. Delicious fresh-baked bread, classic Italian dishes, and a lovely atmosphere.

Amazing staff and food was very impressed after our visit today.

Scrumptious food, lovely atmosphere, and personalized service. This is a "must do" when in Grand Rapids. We will return.

I will be insisting that my husband and I return here regularly until we can no longer consume Italian food, which will be when we're dead.Absolutely INCREDIBLE! The vibes of this place are top-notch, and the food is even better! Stellar rolls, and I loved the stuffed mushrooms.The icing on the cake was the clean bathrooms, complete with complimentary mouthwash!100/100 recommend!

Been 20 years since I was here last. What a shame I had not brought family here again sooner. Very good food with customer service we don’t see anymore. Great place for real Italian food.

Pietros was once an above average Italian restaurant with good food and good service. No more. I took a hiatus during covid but have ordered twice recently as takeout.. First order was Veal Parmigiana. The veal was actually soaking wet, totally undercooked and inedible. The next time I ordered Chicken Parmigiana but made no mention of my prior experience. In a total reversal, this time they absolutely incinerated the chicken to a blackened slice of shoe leather. Picture below. I realize a restaurant takes less risk sending bad food out in a sealed bag as people, me included, are less likely to make the drive to bring it back. But at least some people, me included, won't be going back to those type of restaurants again.

Went here for the first time yesterday on a double date with another couple and loved it! The atmosphere reminds me of the feeling of being in an authentic family-owned Italian restaurant. So quaint and warm and our waitress Bella was so lively and friendly. She was amazing. And the ingredients taste so fresh. My salmon dish was heavenly. And the lobster ravioli my husband has was so flavorful. We will definitely be back for a date night. Highly recommend.

100/5 stars!! Food was amazing, presentationwas superb, staff was the kindest, everythingwas so clean. They catered a bridal shower forus and I could not have asked for a betterexperience. Everything was so fresh, hot, andtasty! Everyone loved it. There were so manythings to choose from. We were honored to havethe owner at the event and he is one of thenicest guys I have ever met. They are my numberone recommendation for all of your cateringevents.

Absolutely phenomenal food and service! This was definitely the best Italian restaurant I have ever been too, and probably my favorite restaurant period. The staff we super kind and plenty of food options cooked fresh. Best Valentine's Day dinner, and I would definitely go again!!

My friend had her bridal shower and chose Pietros for the catering service. I can say this was one of the best food experiences I have had for a large event. Usually catered food is not the freshest, however the food was delicious and fresh. I was tempted to try one of everything the food was that good!! The owner is so friendly and welcoming and takes pride in his craft.
