Our server was very aware of what we needed and saw to it we had full water glasses. She had excellent recommendations. Everyone loved what they ordered. We had lasagna, fettuccine, and steak. We started with bruschetta, Caesar salad, and arancini. We made reservations, I would recommend doing that.

If you’re looking for Italian food with great value then I highly recommend coming to Trattoria Don Pietro. One of the best experiences I’ve had in any restaurant as well as some of the best pasta I have ever tasted. I am definitely going back.

Food was excellent , but too spicy. No real Italian food isn’t as spicy as that. Too bad, couldn’t feel the real taste and savor of the seafood pasta

My main course was a very rich and flavorful fettuccine dish. The service and ambience were great. Appetizers were not as great - the calamari was a bit chewy, but the main course more than made up for it. The salad was delicious and very fresh. I would definitely return, but keep my orders to just main entrees and a salad.
