    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.

    My waiter was amazing, the food was very delicious. I would highly recommend this place to family and friends. It was the first time my family and I had been there. Would definitely go again. But I was very disappointed that we went to celebrate my daughter’s birthday and I called ahead to see if happy birthday could had be sang to her and I was told Yes!!!! To my surprise our came with a slice of cake with the candle out and no one came to sing happy birthday with us. Very disappointed
