Very friendly staff and very attentive to your needs. Also owner made her appearance to welcome us . We definitely return as it very both family oriented as well a nice place to hang out with friends.

    Our experience at pietros could not be beat! The staff was so attentive and so so nice! The food was absolutely delicious and don’t forget to add a glass of pop-secco! We were in the igloos and had private dining complete with Carolers and all. The owners were unbelievable and so accommodating. We honestly made amazing memories that night that will last a lifetime! Thank you for bringing Christmas magic to our family that evening🎄

    Fantastic experience! We had an igloo and absolutely loved it. The service was better than I expected it considering it was cold and rainy and the carolers that came in were the cherry on top!
    Pietro's of East MeadowResponded 3 days ago
    I’m so happy you had a fantastic time! Hearing that you loved the igloo, enjoyed great service despite the weather, and had carolers brighten your experience truly makes my day. Thank you for choosing us, and I can’t wait to have you back for more special moments!

    Wait time was less than 5 minutes. It was great. Nicely decorated for the holiday. Carolers were a nice touch. Service was great. Rebecca our server was wonderful! Very helpful and attentive. Serving food size was plentiful. Only negatives were our table was near the back door to igloos and it was opened and closed hundreds of times and let in chilly air. A curtain was up but didn’t totally help. Also waiters and waitresses were running back and forth. Actually running! Not a good look. Also one other thing our food was heavily salted which we did not care for. But on the other hand our bread was flavorless. But all in all it was a nice holiday experience.
    Pietro's of East MeadowResponded 5 days ago
    Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. I’m glad you enjoyed the quick seating, festive atmosphere, carolers, and that Rebecca took such good care of you—she really is wonderful! I’m sorry about the chilly air and that our waiters were running. I did notice that you ordered a salad and a cauliflower pizza which contains pesto. Pesto can sometimes taste saltier than expected, and we understand flavors are subjective. As for the bread, I tried it myself that evening and agreed it wasn’t as flavorful as it should’ve been. We’ve already updated our bread starting today to make sure it meets our usual standards! We truly appreciate your feedback and hope you’ll give us another chance. We’re always working to improve and provide an even better experience on your next visit.

    Thank you so much for choosing our igloo dining for your Christmas dinner! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the cozy setup, the lasagna, eggplant rollatini, and those must-try empanadas. I know the time limit can sneak up on you—we truly wish we had a bigger space so we could offer longer seating times! Still, I’m glad you and your friends had a great night of good food and service. Can’t wait to have you back again!
