The inside was nice and formal with fresh flowers at each table. I love the variety on the menu and how affordable their prices are for an American restaurant in San Francisco. The complimentary olive bread and butter was delicious. The olives had th perfect amount of salt and the bread was very light like a dinner roll. I got the lasagna pockets which were delicious. I loved that it came with steamed spinach and the lasagna pockets themselves had a generous amount of cheese filling. My partner for the Vegan Oaxacan bowl and the spices were delicious. Very fresh combination of ingredients. We also got a slice of homemade pecan pie to share. I liked the buttery crust. It was a little more custardy than expected and not too sweet. I would definitely come back here to try other dishes.

The decor is a little dated; service a little uneven and kind of slow despite not being too busy; but food is decent, portions are large, and prices are affordable. The rancoon appetizer was creamy, hot filling, and exterior crunchy. Not too bad for $8. Originally, I wanted to order the steamed mussels but they were out so the server recommended BBQ. I ended up ordering the 1/4 BBQ chicken and ribs with side of sweet potato pie and cheesy bacon grits. The chicken was quite juicy. The plate only included two small ribs but I guess for $16.95, you can't expect that much. Overall not the best BBQ I've had but for the price, I guess it was fine. I didn't care much for the sweet potato pie but the cheesy bacon grits were decent. On the other hand, the petrale sole in brown butter and almond was quite good and for $19.95 a good deal. The fish was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. Highly recommend if you like fish. Overall I would give this place 3.5 stars but rounded up for the affordable prices.

The vibe inside is luxe, the food has great presentation, and the menu had a lot of tempting options. Since we were there for a light lunch, we ordered the chicken cobb salad and the grilled cheese with tomato soup, but a few things tasted a bit off from what we expected. - Chicken Cobb Salad: light and refreshing, packed with fresh greens. But it needed more flavor overall - the dressing was super mild, the chicken was dry, and the blue cheese was so light it honestly tasted like feta - Grilled Cheese + Tomato Soup: comforting, but I wished the bread was thicker and fluffier, like a milk bread or brioche. The soup was nice and creamy but too salty to enjoy by itself Overall a pleasant spot with a lot of potential - I think there are just small tweaks that could have been made. Would definitely give this a second chance and try out the dinner menu.

When I was with a banquet group 2 years ago, I again requested inclusion of Eggplant Parmigiana to no avail. The main reason for 2 star D- rating is my experience this past Mother's Day. I was again with a banquet Mother's Day group, same group of people as before. The salmon was a bit above adequate & the service was OK. The salad was decent but again a skimpy amount. I made the best of their dessert choices as they didn't have any of my favorites. What I really didn't like was the exorbitant price: our bills were $84.00 each for a chintzy amount of adequate food! They might as well have said, "This is a stick Up!" Their priority is clearly profit over & beyond Excellence & Quality. As I don't eat a big amount, I typically have left overs to take. Not so here. They gave the bare minimum per quantity, we had to negotiate practically to get enough bread! Bread! We'll guess what. They won't be getting any more of my "bread" and in fact I'll encourage the organizers of the family to pick somewhere else next time with a more reasonable cost or at least commensurate quality for the price. Nice view there still...Too bad I'll just hike past there...

Our server was nice. Made good suggestions. I ordered the scallops and my mother had the Mahi Mahi. I forgot to take pictures of our entrées. I did not like the clam chowder. My mother ate hers and said it was "ok" The breading from the calamari kept falling off. I would have preferred that it was fried harder because the squid just felt uncooked in my mouth. I really enjoyed my scallops and the roasted vegetables that came with it. Well prepared and fresh. My mother did not finish her entrée. She felt that the Mahi Mahi was too salty. However, she had given up salty foods for awhile so it is more than likely a change in palate for her. They were out of creme brulee so we skipped on dessert. Very nice view. Nice old restaurant with great character. I would give this place another try to see if it was just an off day or not.

From the atmosphere - through the service - to the FOOD. This place deserves this strong rating…read more The building is gorgeous -- all brick walls, old-school elegance, and enough ambiance to make you sit up straighter the second the waiter approaches. It feels like the kind of place where politicians make secret deals over cabernet and couples get engaged next to a plate of scallops that costs more than your first car payment. The wine list is so extensive I'm pretty sure it has its own ZIP code. The service? Extremely polished. The servers glide around with the confidence of people who definitely know which fork you're supposed to use and are praying you don't ask. Food-wise, it's fantastic. Steaks arrive looking like they just graduated summa cum laude from culinary school. The oysters are elite. The desserts whisper, "You deserve this," right before your bank app sends a push notification asking if everything is okay. And honestly, the best part is the atmosphere. It's one of the few restaurants where everyone collectively agrees to lower their voice by 30%. You don't hear blenders, screaming toddlers, or a guy explaining crypto. Just soft conversation, and clinking glasses. Would I go back? Absolutely. But only after checking my credit score, hydrating properly, and reminding myself that "treat yourself" is not a legally binding financial strategy. In all seriousness: it's worth every dime. (And if you decide to pay in dimes.....bring a few dollies and some help.)

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…read moreexpectations 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.
