    Some patrons and groups need to be given time limits. I was seated almost an hour after my reservation and was seated between two large groups, taking up multiple tables, who were not eating or ordering food, just talking. To me, they looked like they just wanted to be seen in the restaurant, thus prolonging their stay and delaying others from being seated. They were obviously finished with their meals and didn't want to leave in a timely manner.

    I am very disappointed with my experience, I made a reservation for 8pm. We had to wait 2 hours to get seated and there was nowhere to sit and wait. They told us to wait by the bar where there was a huge crowd just standing packed like sardines. We finally were able to grab seats at the bar and order drinks to past the time. I eventually had to ask someone if I was going to be seated the girl said yes but still made us wait in the front. Finally when we were finally seated they gave us the worse table possible, next to the kitchen, where the door opens and there was waiters constantly bumping into us. We ordered calamari which was a 10/10 but our food was taking so long that I had to ask the waiter if we could get dessert in the meantime. We were never offered anything for the inconvenience. By the time our food came out we were over it. We made the best of it. The food was 10/10 but the ambiance was ridiculous. They had loud techno music in an Italian restaurant it was not was I was expecting. I went with my best friend to have a nice dinner on valentines and it was ruined.

    The owner/chef cannot be Italian, nothing authentic at all. Must be hyped up due to location.

    Been here many times, was disappointed that they didn’t have sausage as an option so we got bacon. Ricotta pancakes were reduced 1/2 of the size it used to be. Food was dropped off without asking if we wanted any condiments like salt, pepper, ketchup or hot sauces?

    My husband and I took our two teenage grandsons to Mi Piace February 7 as they had never before and we all had a wonderful time. The food was delish and our server, Santos, made the evening special as he was very engaging and attentive. The next time we make a reservation I’ll be requesting a table in Santos’ section. My husband and I have dined at Mi Piace several times over the past few decades. There is a nice variety of appetizers and entrees on the menu; every dish presentation is lovely, food portions are generous and taste is always delicious.

    I love Mi Piace. I’ve been coming here since I was little with my family. Yesterday, I came here with my parents and we made a reservation. They were ready for us quickly. Our server was friendly, recommended a wine which was delicious. Food was delicious. The owner came around and made sure everything was good! Overall great experience as always!
