    Tagliatelle

    As usual food is always so good and our server Lily and Luna were attentive, efficient, and friendly. It was my first time in their new location and it was very elegant. However, our pizza was cold. I wish it was served piping hot where the cheese was stringy. Their pizzas are good but i wish they didn't wait to serve our food all at once. The pasta was also warm, not as hot as it should have been. The spumoni ice cream was very delicious. I would have given a 5 star if only our food was served hot.

    We enjoyed a nice birthday dinner while visiting Lodi. First time for two of us and 2nd visit for my friend. The place was packed and energetic on a Sat evening, also a huge place with indoor and outdoor patio seating, lively bar and open kitchen. Reminded me of a Cheesecake Factory vibe. Servers were very attentive and friendly, but a bit slow. We loved the calamari starter and focaccia but the bolognese could have had a richer flavor. The corn risotto was a bit watery and not the favorite. They did do a nice note for the birthday with a small tiramisu and a candle.

    Our go-to restaurant whenever we're in town. If you're looking for a restaurant that offers exceptional food, excellent value, generous portions, top-notch service, and wonderful ambiance, look no further. This place is hands down the best Italian food in the area. Their pastas are handmade, their pizzas are delicious, the oxtail polenta, and desserts are all so amazing. I recommend making a reservation in advance, as it tends to fill up, especially on weekends. We can't wait to dine here again!

    Lodi Ca.~ What an amazing restaurant! Beautiful decor in both the restaurant and the patio area! The food was just as fabulous as the decor. We started out with the deep fried zucchini. Out of this world. The breading was thin and crispy, and the dipping sauce was yummy. We had the catch of the day. It came with risotto that was perfectly seasoned and cheesy. My friend had the Parpadelle. She said it was prepared perfectly, and al dente just like she likes it. We definitely would return for some more spins around the menu. This place is an institution in Lodi. Highly recommend.

    My parents were excited to take me to this place, and a trusted friend backed them up, so expectations were high going in. We made a brunch reservation for 11:30am, though we ended up ordering off the regular menu rather than brunch. That was the first odd note of the afternoon. Before the appetizers, they brought out focaccia with herbed butter, a nice alternative to the standard bread basket. The calamari appetizer with marinara and tartar sauce was fine, nothing memorable. My mom's eggplant parmesan arrived warm but not hot and cooled down quickly. The pizzas, a Funghi and a Margherita, were cooked well in the stone oven and were genuinely the best thing on the table, but they arrived warm and cooled down quickly, the same issue as my mom's eggplant parmesan. With the air conditioning blowing directly overhead, hot food didn't really stand a chance. The service is where things unraveled. When we were first seated, the manager came by and helped with my dad's walker, which was a nice touch. After that it went downhill. When my dad asked for something light, the waiter recommended the carbonara, a dish built on guanciale, grana, egg, and black pepper. That's not light by any definition. It's a basic gap in menu knowledge that does the guest a disservice. The menu also had salmon, ricotta toast, and eggs in purgatory. My dad also asked for red pepper flakes to go with his pizza and they took unusually long to arrive, so he had to flag down a different waiter to get them. The waiter noticed I was drinking my Bloody Mary slowly and offered a different version that actually tasted better. If there's a preferred version, lead with it. When I made eye contact to signal we were ready to pay, he acknowledged it but continued socializing with a coworker before finally coming over and taking my card, as if he was surprised we wanted to pay. When a customer is ready, they're ready. He took my card, asked if we wanted dessert, went to grab the dessert menu, then handed it back. Just hold onto the card. I'm paying with the same card regardless. Handing it back makes no sense. The restaurant itself is beautiful and spacious, with a full bar, outdoor seating, a small store at the entrance, and a vegetable garden out front. It's a great setting. Dinner service might be a different experience, but on this visit the dining room wasn't particularly full, which made it more noticeable that the staff prioritized socializing over the guests in front of them. For the record, the suggested tip on the receipt started at 18%. On the way out, two hostesses stood by and did nothing while my parents, one of whom was on a walker, made their way to the door on their own. Getting the door is common courtesy for the elderly. Pietro's has the ingredients of a great restaurant. The space is beautiful, the stone oven pizza is genuinely good, and the brunch menu has real potential. But a restaurant is only as good as its execution, and right now the service and the food temperatures are letting the kitchen down. They just need to meet it.

    I don't think I've ever written a restaurant review quite like this one. Pietro's has been one of my favorite restaurants for years, but after last night, it genuinely feels a little bit like home. I came in for a date and unfortunately ended up getting stood up. What could have been an incredibly awkward and embarrassing night somehow turned into a night I will never forget -- entirely because of the incredible people at Pietro's. My server, Antoinette, was truly an angel. From the beginning, she was so warm, genuine and kind, and made me feel so cared for. Before I knew it, the entire staff seemed to be checking in on me and making sure I was okay. One of the waiters even quietly took care of my entire meal, and Scott, their sommelier, came over to introduce himself and treated me to a glass of wine. Aaron their GM even came over introduced himself and checked in on me. By the end of the night, I was in tears because I was so overwhelmed by the genuine kindness I was shown. They took what could have been a really embarrassing moment and turned it into one of the sweetest, most memorable nights. I've eaten at countless restaurants and have never experienced this level of genuine care. It went so far beyond good hospitality. They treated me like a friend, and I left feeling incredibly loved with giving hugs all around. Antoinette and the entire Pietro's team: thank you. You have no idea how much last night meant to me. I truly don't think what you did for me would have happened anywhere else.

    What was left of the meatballs
    MICHELE B.

    Loved the atmosphere and the food was a 1000% and the service outstanding. Everyone and everything was fantastic I will definitely be back to try some other items on the menu. Went with friends we had Lasagna, meatballs with a meat sauce and bread to die for. The table focaccia bread and the butter was out of this world. The pizza was very delicious but we couldn't put a dent. Didn't try any cocktails but that will also be next.,

    We went to Pietro's the Saturday before Mother's Day and enjoyed their prix fixe menu. We were all so surprised by how much food was included in the meal, and all of it was delicious! The bread, butter, and cheese served before we ordered were sooo good. The butter was especially creamy and flavorful. For starters, we ordered the arancini and verdura. Both tasted freshly fried and were excellent. Next, we had the panzanella salad, and I would absolutely order it again. The mix of olives, bread, fruit, and vegetables was so fresh and delicious. For pasta, we ordered the amatriciana and gnocchi. The amatriciana had a bit of spice, but it wasn't overwhelming and was really good. The gnocchi was prepared tableside in a cheese wheel, which was really fun. As a cheese lover, I appreciated being able to ask for extra. Our mains were the chicken cacciatore and Rudy's Cut 40 oz prime porterhouse. Both were delicious! We were already incredibly stuffed by the time the mains arrived, which were also served with delicious potatoes and green beans. They weren't listed on the menu, so we were pleasantly surprised to receive them. For dessert, I ordered the gelato pie while the rest of my party ordered the tiramisu. Everyone really enjoyed the tiramisu, and I loved my gelato pie. We were completely stuffed, but somehow still found room for dessert! Luckily, we were able to pack up our leftover pasta, potatoes, green beans, steak, and chicken. We all ended up making another meal out of the leftovers the next day. We were so satisfied and pleasantly surprised by how much food was included that we're really hoping they do something similar for Father's Day so we can come back for more!

    This is our 2nd time to Pietro's ... another phenomenal meal. My cheese-stuffed spinach tortellini (ripieni on the specials menu) with very garlicky pomodoro sauce was excellent, as were my husband's fungi pizza and the lemon olive oil cake. The plentiful bread/herb butter and our cocktails also rocked. Whenever we travel to Lodi, Pietro's will be on our to-do list.

    We really enjoyed Pietro's. The service is really good - they've got multiple people attending to you which was smooth. Food comes out relatively quickly. Everything was soooo good and fresh. The drinks are amazing. We really enjoyed our experience and are already discussing what we'll order the next time we come. Worth every mile driven for Pietro's.

    This review is for their Mother's Day service. Shout out to our servers Raul and Lacy? (I think that's her name, but sorry if I'm wrong). For as busy as the restaurant was, they were very attentive to our party. Always making sure we were okay. Trying to make sure our little one was entertained and fed whenever they passed by. You guys were the best! Thank you for all you do!

    Fried Calamari Fritti

    So, went to the new location for Pietro's recently. It was our anniversary so we wanted something nice, being that we've been here when they were at their old location, we said why not. So much more parking here, which is great, and the place is huge. I had the chicken Parmesan, my wife had the chicken piccata. We had bread and some pesto gnocchi on the side. The gnocchi was amazing...my chicken was good, plenty good size of portion, and my wife said the chicken piccata was ok, nothing to brag about. The atmosphere was nice, the new location is great. My server was good, but I don't think she knew about alcoholic drinks. I asked for a Top Shelf Ling Island, but for some reason they charged me for a vodka and it didn't taste like a Long Island. We were sat outside, and during dinner a cricket jumped on my leg, me wearing shorts, it scared the heck out of me. I killed it and it sat there on the floor. We told our server and she did apologize, but that really affected our dinner. Every wind or movement toward me made me think it might be another bug, not necessarily the restaurants fault, but still. Will we be back...maybe. For the price, we expect top service, we just didn't feel it this time around.

    Medium done steak and Cesar salad
    Nicolette S.

    Love the new location, we sat in the patio and it was perfect weather and we loved the vibe. We shared the whipped seasonal ricotta, Cesar Salad and Steak and the chefs seasonal asparagus with prosciutto pizza. Our service was wonderful and our waitress was so lovely.

They also have food to go, and their pies are legendary Of course, they have a wine club which we have been members of for several years now and that's always a great deal if you like wines on a regular basis. Parking is phenomenal as they have a large area for parking. This is a great place to come for a party such as a birthday party or to meet friends and just hang out for the day.
