    Held a celebration for our Mothers 96th birthday here and I'll tell you, we couldnt have asked for a better choice. Gio and his staff took such good care of all 15 of us, while giving special attention to the birthday girl. They made us all feel so welcomed. The service was excellent, as was the food. Everyone loved what they ordered and all of the appetizers. The drinks were excellent and the desserts....heavenly. From start to finish, an all around wonderful dinner and Mom felt like a Queen. We cant thank Gio and the whole staff for making this a celebration to remember. We will most definitely be back and look forward to celebrating 97. Thanks to all at La Notte!!!

    A friend of ours who really knows Italian foods highly recommended Piacere Mio and we had been wanting to try it for months but for whatever reason never got around to it. Boy are we glad we finally did! Food, service and ambiance were outstanding. The salad, and my wife's and my dishes were so delicious and noteworthy. Definitely look forward to coming here again soon!
