I came in on a late evening after work just craving some Italian food. I live around the corner and decided to take a nice walk over here and glad I did! The service & food was great. It was also cute on the inside! I got the Pollo Florentino and it was very good full of flavor and vegetables! The chicken was hot and fresh!

When as a family birthday dinner, the food is amazing however. The atmosphere and service provides a more intimate environment. More of a date night out, romantic dinner vibe of the place. However the overall experience of the place was amazing definitely going to go back and try more of the menu. The staff was so friendly thay felt like family. If you love family owned restaurants you will love this place.

Pietro’s Famiglia has been a local favorite in Sparks since 2005, and it’s clear this place knows how to deliver a memorable dining experience. The atmosphere strikes a great balance between upscale and welcoming, with white tablecloths, warm lighting, and a traditional Italian ambiance that feels just right for a relaxed yet refined evening.
We started with a bottle of Cabernet, which was a great match for the meal to come—smooth, full-bodied, and a nice complement to both the charcuterie and the entrées. The charcuterie board was a satisfying opener: a well-rounded mix of quality meats and cheeses, thoughtfully presented with classic accompaniments. It wasn’t flashy, but it delivered on freshness and flavor.
For the main course, I went with the New York strip steak, which was cooked exactly to temp—tender and juicy with a flavorful sear. The accompanying jus added just the right depth, enhancing the steak without overwhelming it. My colleagues ordered the lasagna and the chicken piccata, and both plates were completely cleaned—a clear sign of approval.
Service throughout the evening was spot-on. Our server was attentive, checking in frequently without ever feeling overbearing. It was the kind of service that makes you feel genuinely taken care of.
Pietro’s Famiglia is the kind of place that gets the fundamentals right—solid food, a welcoming yet polished setting, and service that adds to the overall experience. Whether you’re celebrating something or just winding down after a long day, it’s a spot worth returning to.

Minestrone soup
Light/ fresh flavors I got a bit of pepper which I recommend
Not heavy feeling, veggies cooked well, not served to you hella hot
Spaghetti with meat sauce – xtra sauce
Sauce had a slight sour taste
I have to say the portion is way too large even for a hardy eater, the entree is good and does fill you up but also serves as a double meal the day after.
Tiramisu
The top layer is very light and creamy while the bottom is rich and moist, not too strong of either flavor since they are a good balance of rich and delicate. The presentation is nice and the chocolate sauce drizzled is the richest flavor on the plate. Big enough to share with someone. Kind of vanilla/ cinnamon flavor and light coffee flavor
Over all
Come here with a genuinely empty stomach. We did not have a reservation but despite this we sat in the bar along with another walk-in just seconds before us and got seated within 5-10 minutes.
It’s very much feels like a multi course meal with how they present the food to you. By the time I got to my entree I was already pretty ok with all the soup and bread they provided. I ended up taking almost my whole entree home even after eating some which it did in fact not look like I even ate. I recommend the salad over the soup and definitely get dessert. I also like to throw in when a place has good regular sodas and they are very good at the refills of anything at the table. Most plates are 15-20 but they can range to 30-45, expect to spend around 100 with two people and a lot of food. They box your food for you and yes you can take the bread

Pietro’s is an absolute hidden gem! It’s one of those hole-in-the-wall places you almost want to keep a secret because it’s just that good. We started with the scallops appetizer, which was fantastic, and for our entrées, I had the manicotti, while my partner went with the classic chicken fettuccine Alfredo. Both dishes were spectacular and far exceeded our expectations.
Whether you’re celebrating a birthday or looking for a romantic dinner spot, Pietro’s is perfect for any special occasion. Highly recommend!

The dining experience was truly delightful. The decor is a bit dated but not to the point of being looking old. The wait staff was excellent and the food first rate.
Pietro’s is on the second floor of the building and the entrance is almost a literal hole in the wall. You have to pass in between a bar and a seating area of another restaurant to get to the stairs or elevator to Pietro’s. Once upstairs you will find Italian food paradise.
Our waiter was polite and very knowledgeable about the offerings of food and beverage. Once we ordered, his timing of the meal was on point. Everything flowed and we never seemed rushed nor ignored. Beverage glasses stayed full and plates were delivered or taken away promptly.
The wife ordered a caprese salad, soup of the day and chicken marsala. The caprese salad was wonderful. The tomatoes were ripe and the cheese fresh. The wife really liked the balsamic reduction dribble on the tomato/cheese. The soup was a simple vegetable offering in a light broth. Simple yet delicious. The chicken marsala brought a smile to the wife’s face. Absolutely one of the best she has had.
I had an eggplant parmesan. I judge all Italian restaurants by this dish. I was introduced to this dish as a child and look for certain things. The eggplant is sliced to the size of a small steak and breaded. Suateed then covered in marinara and mozzarella. Under the broiler to melt the cheese and served with a pasta. Pietro’s hit a home run.
So far one of the two best Italian restaurants we had tried in the Reno area.

It’s easily one of the best—and truly authentic—Italian restaurants still standing in Sparks. I absolutely love this place. The food is always delicious, comforting, and made with that classic Italian touch that keeps me coming back.
