    Our server, Teresa, was exceptional and so attentive. The food was delicious and piping hot. We sat on their patio and it was very comfortable with their large fans. Excellent cocktails and Italian wine selection made for even a nicer dinner. The owner, Bobby, came over to say hello which always makes a dinner experience more special.

    The patio is lovely and the food and service are excellent. Our only complaint is that there was no music on the patio due to a wifi issues.

    Dining for my 20th anniversary wife the woman that said yes. greeted quickly and warmly at host stand. Enjoyed the delicious dinner, started with cheese bread, (hot and bubbly) wife had the Insalata caprese, I had the penne pesto with chicken, wife had the Rigatoni Bolognese. paired with at Caposaldo Moscato. Service was weak, not to sure of self, asked IF we wanted to hear about the specials, not very engaging. Overall the food was wonderful and delightful. Highly recommend

    We had our wedding dinner here a year ago, and decided to have our anniversary dinner there this year. We were surprised to see so many familiar faces and greeted with a warm welcome! It was very impressive that the wait staff not only remembered us from our wedding dinner, but also remembered that we are mainly vegetarians. The service here is nothing short of incredible and if you’re looking for a memorable experience for a special gathering, definitely consider Piola!

    We were pleasantly surprised by the quaint atmosphere, stellar service and truly delicious dishes. There were three in our party and we all decided to branch out and order something we'd never tried. ALL of the dishes were outstanding. Loved our server--very personable experience. Would go again and again!

    My wife and I had dinner before a concert last night and overall had a very nice experience. FOOD: The Goat Cheese Bruschetta was DELICIOUS! My Veal piccata was also scrumptious. The pasta was cooked perfectly, and the sauce was on point. My wife had the chicken piccata, and everything was yummy, but we noticed that something about the chicken was a little off. This will sound strange, but it tasted very "chickeny"... We closed dinner out with vanilla creme brulee. SERVICE: Our waitress seemed a little rushed -- and we noticed in general that the wait staff seemed to be rushed for some odd reason because the restaurant itself is not very large. That said, she was prompt and served us well. ATMOSPHERE: The open seating layout doesn't lend itself to being really romantic or anything....but it was cozy, and we enjoyed the experience. VALUE: We felt that pricing was about right for the portions. All in all, we had a great experience and would return!

    I had higher hopes and would assume it’s better on a normal day. We went for Valentine’s Day, where they had a special set menu. They ran out of the two of the items, which were the only two I was looking forward to. The price was absolutely not worth the value. My opinion on the value may have differed, if what I wanted was available. I don’t understand how you run out of items on a specialized set menu. We also asked for a to go box for my girlfriend’s pasta. It was never delivered and the kitchen threw out the remainder, which was probably half of her course. They offered to give us calamari as replacement, but that obviously doesn’t sit well. All and all, it was a bit of bad experience.

    It would have been nice to have been told in the several calls to confirm our reservation that it was a $78/person fixed menu without a drink included. Unfortunately the first course was cold. The fish main course was just 4 pieces of fried fish with some cut up cherry tomatoes on it and the carbonara was emulsified so the sauce didn’t blend right. We were very rushed with our courses coming out before we’d finished the previous course. We hadn’t been here before and had heard great things. Very disappointing.
