This is a hidden gem in the area. We have been here several times and we are never disappointed. Its a cozy restaurant run by a delightful family. Don’t miss the stuffed mushrooms or the wedding soup. Order dessert first because what you want might sell out! Lobster tails are to die for. Napoleons are light and delicious. The tiramisu is out of this world. Perfext with friends or for a date night
I had a great experience at Pietro's Bakery! I was greeted promptly by the host at the door. At the time, the entire place was packed with only tables and chairs available.I sat down, and the waiter came to hand me a menu. They do have the QR code as well if you want to use your personal device.I ordered the Grilled Salmon, which came with grilled vegetables and risotto. All of it was cooked well, and tasted great. For dessert I ended up with the chocolate ganache cake. Best ganache I've had!All in all, I had a great time here, and definitely will be back to try their other entree's and desserts.
First time visiting was totally surprised. First they don't sell normal round pizzas. I ordered chicken parmesan. It was extremely salty and the noodles were quite overcooked and extremely oily meaning they were likely sitting in the pot for a while. This will be my first and last visit for Italian food. The bakery seemed pretty good. The cakes we purchased tasted delicious. If you want Italian food I wouldn't waste my time here I would go to Italian Garden.
The quality of the café has steadily declined over the past year. I literally craved their Greek salad, which I ordered today and after a few bites threw out and made myself a sandwich.What you get with the Greek salad has always depended on who was making it. One chef uses iceburg and spring mix lettuces and chops up the veggies (tomato, cucumbers and tomatoes) which creates a texturally pleasing, homogenous salad. The second only uses iceburg, and the few slices of tomato, cucumber and onion that are thrown in are very large for a salad.But the Feta cheese and dressing made the salad out of this world, even the one that looks simply thrown together. Sadly, both have changed for the worst. An employee told me they were having supply issues getting the dressing they used so they were going to make their own. This new dressing is what made me toss my meal. It is extremely tangy at first followed by an overwhelming sweetness. If the candy Sourpatch kids were a dressing, Pietro's is where you'd find it. The feta is different as well – it’s simply bland and the texture is simply odd. There is nothing to balance the strong tang and sweetness from the dressing.The rest of the food I’ve had there is just average. Basic tomato sauce, basic chicken parm, basic meatball parm sub. At this point, I’d rather eat at Olive Garden. At least I know what to expect.The picture is of my salad after I’d taken a few bites. The iceburg lettuce was old, chunky and starting to become opaque and brown. There were four wedges of tomato, one chunk of cucumber and a handful of pepperoncinis. No onion, a sprinkling of Feta cheese and two cups of the “new” dressing.
This is a fantastic local restaurant and exquisite addition to the area. Walking in you have the feel of a small italian cafe and bakery. The staff, who are mostly family, are welcoming and friendly. The bread is constantly made fresh and delicious. The portions are large so you always have leftovers for the next day. There is nothing on the menu I have no liked yet from multiple visits.
For their bakery counter and excellent customer service alone they deserve five stars. Their prices are honestly very fair in the sweets department given the quality of what you consume. I put one of their chocolate mousse taco pastries in my gob, and by George, I’d gladly do it again. Whoever makes these heavenly cream treats has hands blessed by God.
BEST Pasta de Fagioli Soup ever! Comes with a tray of fresh, warm buttered rolls. My husband ordered a Chicken Parmesan Sub and it was HUGE! A foot-long toasted sub with lightly crusted strips of chicken topped with melted cheese and tasty marinara. Comes with a hefty side of lighty seasoned steak fries. He loved it but could only eat half of it as it was so BIG! The pastries are so popular, get there early as it's first come - first served. Sadly, we missed out on the tarts & Danish cheese at 11 am. Excellent Café! Excellent service! Excellent food!?????
Oh my goodness!! This is my new favorite!! It was just 11 (when they open) my husband wanted a muffin and I wanted a light lunch. I had the potato soup - it was rich and creamy and filled with so much flavor!! It came with bread (which was also amazing) and I had to try one of the macaroons - I don’t think I have actually had what a macaroon is supposed to taste like until today! It was INCREDIBLE!! Be sure you try it, you will not be disappointed!!!
Food was really good so will return. The service lagged at times. They seem to have a brisk take out business.
It is apparent that Pietro's Bakery truly takes personal care in the quality and flavor of their food. It is an increasingly rare quality to find, and a real treat. Well done.
