Update… So we returned after the incident from about five years ago below. The owner wasn’t there today, but the long-time head waiter, who is fantastic, and the real reason why this restaurant still operates took great care of us today. The food was excellent as well. I’m going to move my rating up from one star to four stars based on this recent visit…

I have been going to San Pietro for years and have recommended it many times to friends and colleagues, but from my previous experience, it will be the last time that I ever visit the place. I had taken a client out to lunch who happens to be over 90 years old and hard of hearing. He inadvertently ordered the wrong main course and asked for it to be changed. The owner ran to our table, yelled, and threw a fit over the request. In all of my years entertaining, I had never seen anything so unprofessional, especially from a place supposedly this high-end.

It was horrifying, to say the least, and I could tell that the waiter (who is great, btw) was incredibly embarrassed. As I was leaving the restaurant I walked over to the owner and let him know that I didn’t appreciate his treatment of my elderly client and his response to me was “this is my house, get out”. With an attitude and treatment of customers like that, it won’t be his house much longer. Needless to say, I won’t be recommending or returning to San Pietro ever again.

Take a step back in time! The service here is what truly separates the spot from other restaurants! You are greeted like an old family friend and given the specials by your uncle! It was great! The food was inspired by rustic classic Italian fare and did not skip a beat!

We had a reservation at 7 pm – get to the restaurant at 6:55 and we got in trouble by the waiter for not calling ahead. The whole meal was chaotic from start to finish. They didn’t refill waters (beware they charge $10 for 1 bottle of water and didn’t even offer tap water as an option).

The food was just ok. We didn’t even get 1 of the dishes we ordered. The portions are very small and some dishes were salty.

The worst part of the meal was when we got our check. Suddenly, our bill had different dishes than what we ordered and we were charged $235 dollars initially. We only got 1 salad, 1 entree pasta, and a small serving of eggplant Parmesan (pictured here) which was the special. We told our waiter about the wrong charges on the bill and he seemed irritated and took the check back. He brought it back with a few dollars knocked off. However the bill was still wrong. The head waiter then comes over and tells us that the eggplant Parmesan was usually $60(!!!) and he gave us a special price and he ended up charging $48 for it. He then up charged the price of all of the dishes we ordered by a few dollars. There’s only a few menus to go around for the whole restaurant so I couldn’t even reference it to double check the prices.

Overall, we paid $134 (so $100 less than what they initially charged us). Between the mediocre food, poor service, and highly inflated prices – we were highly disappointed and would not go back.

Classic Italian restaurant experience. I like the mature waiters willing to say “let me just bring you our best wine pairing for your dinner”. And it’s an experience just to listen to the 16 specials detailed then summarized in reverse order. We had lamb, pasta, and branzino. All well prepared. Pasta was fresh made and a highlight. Branzino is a house speciality and also exceptional. Lamb was tasty, if one minor complaint it would be that we ordered medium rare and the lamb was well done. That said, overall a delightful experience I’d recommend to anyone.

We were a large party. It took forever to serve us. The waiter came over and said sorry for the inconvenience. Let me take care of the appetizers. Too many appetizers arrived, we mentioned it to the waiter and he said don’t worry about it. Not only were the appetizers just so so but when the bill came, it was ridiculously expensive. They thought we were out of towners So they try to stick it to us. STAY AWAY

Food was incredible! Atmosphere really stunning, sommelier helped me choose a great wine, and the homemade gelato was straight out of Italy, so delicious. Only thing off was that the prices on our bill didn’t match the menu… but I would definitely recommend this place nonetheless.
