Pietro's Famiglia

WOW! Absolutely awesome experience. Food was beyond excellent. Very generous portions. Service was amazing there. Our host, Tim, made sure we were well taken care of. I felt like I was a V.I.P with the service. Almost as if I was in Italy at someone's house. Treat yourself to an amazing experience and try this place out.

First time here and I will say the food was good lasagna was a little thin compared to my wife's lol but flavors were great and the fettuccini was amazing too just had a loud and drunk couple who got obnoxious and our cups were dirty when we said something about it we just got new drinks but hey at least the glasses were clean this time!

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.

This place was exactly what I needed. It was like I was sitting in my grandmothers kitchen again, decor complete for an Italian family. Food outstanding, singer even looked like my cousin Mike. All that was missing was my grandma threating us with the pasta spoon. Handsdown one of the best Italian places i have ever been to.
