The bread alone almost guarantees this place stays in rotation for me. Soft, warm, textured bread served with pesto oil and grated parmesan cheese. It's one of those small touches where you immediately realize the restaurant cares about more than simply getting food to the table quickly. I usually default to chicken parm at Italian restaurants, and theirs is genuinely good. But the spaghetti bolognese with meatballs is even better. Rich, flavorful sauce without feeling overly heavy by the end of the meal. Service has consistently been professional and relaxed, and the atmosphere hits a nice balance between "special occasion" and casual dinner out. I was originally introduced to this place by an old coworker. We didn't agree on much professionally, but they absolutely got this recommendation right. Still one of my favorite Italian restaurants. read more

Excellent food and service. Loved the pizzas specially mushroom. Second time dining there in a week. Ordered 2 large pizzas for four of us. Plenty left over to take home. Will return for pasta. Just wish they would add truffle and mushroom pizza as an option. read more

Always great food and ambiance. good service. A go to for a great home Italian meal. Definitely would try it if you have not. Pizza is always on point! read more

We didn't have a good experience here. The fried cheese was cold on the inside. Then for dinner I asked if I could get the scallops on the Alfredo. They said they could but I got carbonara with scallops. When we mentioned that it was wrong, they used the same sauce to mix with Alfredo noodles and put the cold scallops on top. All of the tables were full so they must be doing a lot of things right! Just not the experience we had. read more

Really enjoyed my experience and food this visit. I love coming here and getting their carbonara and Pasta & Fagioli. They typically have great lunch deals, but I think they recently updated their menu and now some options are not available for the lunch deals. Lunch deal is everyday till 3pm. We ordered the: Bread $7 4/5 Pasta & Fagioli soup $10 5/5 Carbonara $21 (not including added chicken) 4/5 Sicilian Pizza $17 (medium pie) 3/5 Limoncello cake 3/5 Overall the food was great! The prices seem to be going up a little bit, or maybe it's cause they don't order certain lunch deals anymore. The Sicilian pizza meat had a really weird smell to me so I didn't eat it. Pizzas are more of a thin crust style. Our waiter this time was great! The prior time we had a waiter who kept eating when he brought the food out. When he would say what food items were what the food would come flying out his mouth which was super gross. So this time around we kindly asked for someone else. This is a pretty causal neighborhood spot. Great for groups! read more

Piero's Corner - Pollo Avocado - Italian Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

We have been here multiple times for lunch, but, tonight decided to try it for dinner. The restaurant was much busier than at lunch time; no wait required but only a couple of tables were open. This restaurant truly feels like the local restaurant that everyone looks as it is friendly with great food and great service and true ambiance. The portion sizes are large and we both brought home leftovers which will make one more great meal. The bread is homemade and wonderful. If I had an Italian grandmother, she would have been the one fixing food for all the people who were here tonight. read more

My friend and I came here and ordered some food, which was just absolutely phenomenal! The service was absolutely wonderful! The restaurant was very clean and very beautiful! The food was arrived very hot and fresh! The presentation was beautiful! I ordered the scallops (not pictured here) and my friend ordered the swordfish that came with mashed potatoes and a side of steamed spinach, which we both thought were phenomenal! We also ordered a side of octopus, which was a little charred, but it was still edible. The food also came with a side of bread with dipping sauce, and that was also very delicious!! We will definitely come back and either be sitting in the restaurant or ordering through a food service again! Thank you so much! Delicious Italian food!! read more

Piero's Corner - Good times! - Italian Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

I've come in here twice now, once for happy hour and once for a lunch date. I love that they have Happy Hour still and they have a crazy hour that starts at 3pm and goes to 4pm then another happy hour menu starts at 4pm. The first group I went with, we ordered one of everything on the happy hour menu. They had gnocchi, cheese bread, bruschetta, etc. To be honest the food was small and very bready for HH and I was not too impressed. But the drink specials were great value and I enjoyed the wine. The atmosphere here is very great, seems local, great vibes, repeat customers - so when I had a choice for a place to go for a date lunch, we came here and I'm very happy we did. We ordered lemon chicken with avacado on top of pasta and gnocchi with a meat sauce. Wow was the food AMAZING it was also filling! It was also great that lunch goes until 3pm. So we ordered the food and once 3pm started for crazy hour we got some wine to go with it! Super huge win :) I will definitely be coming back for the food and adding this to date locations! read more

Not very good. Food took a long time -'d was generally meh. Bland, no real flavor, seemed thrown together. Overpriced. Won't be back.

Our server, an older man was coughing without covering. Sometimes coughing into his hands and then serving. We also got crammed into a 6 person table when I made reservations for 7. They didn't really care that a reservation was made. They just slid two tables together when we walked in. Food was good but the coughing made the experience a little gross. read more

Just came from there. It was like being in a kindergarten classroom. Tables of kids screaming and throwing things at each other. Absolutely poor parenting but I guess the folks that run the place are fine with thst as no worker asked the parents to be responsible. I could barely hear my wife speaking. They lost me as a customer. read more

What a wonderful surprise to find this restaurant! 5 star food in a comfortable setting with easy parking in a strip center. We had Dominic as our attentive server and enjoyed the bread, salad with melon, tomatoes, mozzarella, and all our entrees were perfect! We can't go wrong here. read more

I have lived by this place for YEARS and I had never tried it for some reason but ever since I've been back from Italy I've been craving vongole pasta and went with a friend. There is plenty of parking and it is a very cute place and decorated well. It was crowded on a Thursday night so you know it's good. We ordered the grilled octopus salad which was delicious ! And the vongole pasta was so good. I personally would have liked the pasta a little more al dente but the taste and the clams weee excellent. The price is not crazy either so I will be back! read more

Overall, the food is the reason you should dine at Piero's Corner! I've been there a number of times, and I have never been disappointed with the food. However, the restaurant can get loud and uncomfortable when it gets busy, and I've found the older servers can be a little gruff and impatient. read more

Great little home style Italian food with great wine and cocktails. All of the menu items were very fresh and delicious!

Everything Food is excellent. Always serving great pizza. We have it at least one a week

This is a mainstay restaurant in western Fairfax County that is worth a drive from all over the area. This is the Italian Restaurant you wish you had in your neighborhood! Great food, great specials everyday, great service, an excellent wine selection of regional Italian wines and others. Servers are pros and so is the bartender, Rachel. read more

I'm 7 months pregnant and all I wanted all morning was pasta. I just wanted chicken parm and soup and bread. I thought that wouldn't be a hard request. It started down hill when I called and immediately when someone picked up they said a quick greeting than "please hold." Fair. So I held. After 5 minutes I was wondering what was happening and if the restaurant was busy. Then 10 minutes pass and I'm convinced they forgot someone was on the line. Luckily I was already on the way, so I decided to swing by. I hang up. When I arrive I see a small restaurant but lots of empty tables. Now I'm a little upset because why put someone on hold if the restaurant isn't even busy? What was the point of the hold? No matter, like I said I really wanted Italian and this place had good reviews. I sit down to try to place a take out order and I find out the complimentary bread is $1.50 when you order take out and the soup doesn't come out any bread but has a fat price tag of $15 (lobster bisque). The waitress that was "helping me" would answer one question and then walk away so quickly I only had a few seconds to catch her attention. It's at this point, I'm done. I'm hungry, upset about the service and felt entirely dismissed. I love Italian food but despite all the good reviews, my experience upset me so much I'll be hard pressed to come back read more

Piero's Corner is a dependable neighborhood Italian spot. I had the cream gnocchi here and liked it. The menu covers all the classics, and everything is prepared the way you'd expect: nothing flashy, just straightforward and satisfying. The pasta dishes are hearty, the portions are generous, and the service is friendly. It's not a place that's going to surprise you, but if you're in the mood for a reliable bowl of pasta or a comforting plate of chicken parm, it gets the job done. Good for an easy dinner when you're not looking to be wowed but want something familiar. read more

Excellent food and service. Reasonably priced. The owner stop by to ask us how our experience was. I thought this was a nice touch.

The restaurant itself is very appealing and charming. As a pizza connoisseur I thought the pizza was delicious, the pizza sauce is absolutely exquisite and the pizza itself, very cheesy. The service was alright. However, the water tastes like Florida water, for those of you who don't know it's not good so I got a Sprite, but somehow it tasted worse. I'm sure the wines are fabulous though but I'm not old enough to drink it. BYOW-bring your own water. read more

Local Mom & Pop Italian restaurant. I love the small restaurant vibe; it cozies with about 16 table and bar top. Plenty of parking spot and the service it always good, the food does take some time but i apricate that everything is make fresh. The good 5/5- Never had anything that I didn't like. Lunch Pollo Avocado - Grill chicken wrap in prosciutto and avocado with lemon butter sauce come with fresh make linguine pasta. I don't how something so simple can pack so much yummy flavor, sometimes I do sub for roasted vegetable instead of pasta for lighter touch. The vegetable is perfect cook Portobello Trifolati- Portobello chunk mushroom sliced cook with cream . Heaven in my mouth!! Such as amazing side to order to eat with bread or pasta or even by itself. I would come back everyday if i can read more

It's a favorite local restaurant for family that lives near Pieros , that is how we learned about them. It's a 35 - 45 minute drive for us.....totally worth the drive!! The staff is so friendly and the food is beyond amazing! read more

This was a while back but we very much enjoyed our dinner. We didn't have reservations, so we grabbed a table outside which was nice, if a bit bright near sunset. We had the seafood pasta and octopus pasta. Very filling and delicious though the Kalamata olives with the octopus pasta was a bit on the salty side. Nice selection of Italian wines, and the service was excellent. read more

This was my first visit, and it won't be my last! I met a friend for lunch, and it was her first visit also. The food and service were both excellent! The interior is on the smaller side but very charming. It was very clean. I had eggplant parmigiano and it was superb! The rosemary focaccia bread and oil was excellent, and we had a delicious limoncello cake for dessert. Everything was top notch! We will be back! Highly recommend! read more

We used to love this neighborhood restaurant but a recent visit greatly disappointed us. What we loved-- the bread... warm, crusty and so good -- but wished they served it sooner or with our drinks. Then we waited for our salad... 30 minutes later-- still no salad. Our server was busy and when I finally caught him-- he looked surprised and asked again about our order. He said he placed our order but somehow, the system might have erased it. Omg. Now we wait again and by this time... our wait is closer to an hour. Finally, the salad is served but I honestly feel that the roasted beet came from a can. I order roasted beets all the time in other restaurants... and this one was sliced thin and way too smooth to have even been roasted. Then the hubs ordered the Cinque terre special... and there was a strong not very pleasant odor. The taste was okay but the mussels gave off that not pleasant odor. Shrimp was overcooked. Maybe we should've returned it? I ordered the polpo affogato and loved my dish... until I got to the second piece of octopus. It was the head and not a tentacle. Ugh... gross...to say it was funky and unpleasant is an understatement. I truly loved the dish but that ruined it for me. I mentioned this to our server but was not acknowledged. Overall, this experience was so unpleasant we decided not to go back. Sad. read more

I can't believe we came here for the very first time after living in Herndon for years. We have gone to almost every establishment in the shopping center and was always curious of this one as it was always busy on a Friday night and the weekends. This is definitely a place where the locals gather to eat delicious Italian food and see their friends and buddies for a fun evening out. The servers are so friendly and attentive and they know their patrons as many of them seem to be regulars. The hostess graciously fitted us in on a Saturday evening and service was spectacular. We like the variety of options in the kids menu and the affordable prices. Our kids enjoyed their butter pasta and rainbow pizza (in the shape of rainbow fish). My husband's bucatini carbonara was the favorite dish of the evening. The noodles were cooked al dente and the sauce was creamy, flavorful, and just absolutely delicious. We also enjoyed their seafood pasta where each piece of seafood was fresh and not tough to chew, including the calamari and mussels. This is easily our new favorite spot for Italian food in the area. read more

Food and service was great. Food came out hot and every dish was so tasty. Even the bread basket was delicious. We had to stop ourselves so we wouldn't get full off the bread. I thoroughly enjoyed the flounder special. The fish had a nice crisp top with spinach and thin noodles. I finished the entire dish, so good. Everyone else in our party enjoyed their dish and spoke about coming again. I've gone here before for lunch and had their pizzas which were also delicious. read more

Excellent food - lobster ravioli is a favorite there! Dominic, our server, was attentive, knowledgeable and personable!

Came here with a friend to catch up. The staff was very nice and helpful; they checked up on us frequently. It wasn't too busy on a Wednesday evening, and it has a much more intimate vibe to it. The Carciofi Fritti was a delightful, light appetizer to start with and the accompanying tartar sauce helped cut the oiliness and the touch of arugula helped balance the oiliness of the fried artichoke. Ravioli Croccanti had so much cheese, the cheese pull was chefs kiss. It also came with warm bread and the herbal oil mixture was light. Overall, a pretty good, relaxing dinner. read more

Had a yummy dinner here with my cousin & her husband who frequent the restaurant. Everyone was happy with what they ordered and I couldn't finish my eggplant parmigiana, large portion but too much for me. Staff were helpful and had a sense of humor. Cozy place, I liked it a lot. read more

It's always a pleasure to find at Piero's corner! Love the bread. Lovely salads and soups too.

I finally made it to Piero's Corner after hearing about it from a friend in the area, and wow--I can see why locals rave about it! From the moment you walk in, you can tell this place has been a neighborhood staple for a reason. The vibe is cozy and welcoming, with a mix of families, couples, and longtime regulars that makes it feel like you're stepping into a home away from home. We started with the grilled octopus salad, which was perfectly charred and tender, with just the right amount of seasoning. Then I had the vongole pasta, and I could almost taste Italy in every bite--the clams were fresh and briny, the pasta was rich with flavor, and while I personally like mine a touch more al dente, it didn't take away from how delicious it was. My partner ordered the lemon chicken over pasta, and it was surprisingly light but bursting with flavor. Every dish is clearly made with care and quality ingredients. The service was friendly and attentive--our server made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. Bonus points for the lemoncello cake for dessert--it was a bright, refreshing finish to the meal, beautifully presented. Parking was easy, and the new bar area is a nice touch. If you're local--or even if you're just visiting the Franklin Farm area--this is a must-visit. Plus, if you're short on time or want to enjoy this Italian goodness at your hotel or Airbnb, Piero's Corner is also available through Pressure Deliveries, which made our post-sightseeing dinner effortless. I'll definitely be coming back, and this will be my go-to for date nights, family dinners, and whenever I need a taste of authentic Italian comfort. Buon Appetito! read more

Excellent! Great food, Great staff. Nice ambiance. Have eaten here many times and enjoyed it. Brought friends and they all like it. Menu food and specials excellent. Pizza is wonderful, best I've had. read more

We love going here for Easter brunch because they have such a wide selection for everyone. Few recommendations we have noticed over the years. When we get meat at the carving station it's usually luke warm and the pizza is not under a heat lamp. If you want hot pizza you have to time it just right when they put out a fresh one. The omelette station, seafood selection, bread pudding, and large dessert selections are great. read more

Decided to try out Piero's with a few friends of mine, since we always pass by this place on the way home. Well, I can't believe we haven't heard of this place sooner! The Food: The food was incredibly delicious! Piero's definitely shot up to one of my favorite Italian restaurants in the area so far. The quality of the homemade pasta, the freshness of the seafood and how the overall dishes were so well built. All the dishes we had were perfect. I went with the "Bucatini Carbonara", and man was it incredibly. From the creamy sauce, to the pasta itself. It was to die for. All dishes well portioned out as well! Notable mentions are the fried calamari, absolutely amazing. From the light batter that is fried perfectly. It was one of the best apps there. The Service: Service was absolutely great! The staff were so welcoming and patient with our big group. Everyone was so friendly and it really felt like a nice family restaurant. Water refills and occasional check ups were consistent as well. Amazing service. The Atmosphere: Italian aesthetic that is tastefully decorated. very spacious restaurant with plenty of seating. Definitely gives off that homey and family feel. Overall, a 5/5! My friends and I had such a great experience here! From the amazing food to such a warm/welcoming group of staff members. I'll be back again for sure! read more
