We normally love Piola but this wasn’t a great night for them. Our food order seems to have put in all at once. When we got our entrees, they had been under a heat lamp- the asparagus was way overdone. The server was at our table almost constantly to see if we needed anything- we were in and out in an hour and fifteen minutes including appetizers and desserts. It was like they were pushing tables as fast as possible and they were not fully booked. I don’t know what was happening but we will not be back for some time to come. Just too many other places to go.

Reservations were made through Open Table with a notation that we were celebrating our 47th wedding anniversary; this was never mentioned or acknowledged in any way which I found strange. The last few special events, noted in OT, at the very least got a “happy this, or happy that” by the person seating us, or a manager, or our server. What made this particularly annoying was the table next to us drew more people, multiple waiters, the wine steward, even the chef/owner who pulled up a chair to visit. And while this was our first visit, we felt like intruders to a party of insiders, all while I was hoping someone would wish my beautiful wife a happy day. Lovely space, good but slightly overpriced food (their bread was disappointing; thin, limp slices of simple white bread) served with oil-the insider table next door also got butter-but who expects the bread to be disappointing in an Italian restaurant? Will we return? I’m really not sure.

Seated promptly for our reservation and found staff friendly and welcoming. Hubby’s giant squid starter was true to its name - looked like giant fish fingers. My salad misto was OK ( over sauced w dressing which seems a trend lately). Rigatoni Bolognese was good and a bit spicy. My red snapper ( special) was a thin fillet which was dry and over cooked ( it was not much thicker than most scallopine in places/ crispy- I believe it to be a small portion for $38 Accompanying risotto was well prepared. I would try this place again but will stick w Italian staples for main course.

We ate inside on a Friday night. Very busy and noisy. Server was helpful in answering our questions and taking our order. Kitchen was backed up so getting our food was slow coming out. The Smoked Chicken and pasta dish was very good. Would consider eating there again but on day earlier in the week.

Food and service were great as usual. The noise was more than we cared for since the restaurant is an old house with wood floors and just one loud guest can disrupt the ambiance. Last night we had a group of 8 who thought they were the only ones in the place. May eat outside next time as the food is excellent.

Noise inside so loud we chose to eat outdoors on patio; not tto hot for a Texas evening. There were several already seated on the patio when we arrived but nothing had been swept or the table cleaned off from the leaves and bugs. My wife liked her lobster bisque appetizer. My caesar salad disappointing; the dressing was definitely out of a jug, not even close. My wife ordered shrimp scampi with linguini and caramelized onions. The shrimp were firm and tasteful along with the white sauce and pasta was al dente. Onions were large and plentiful scattered throughout the serving but not even close to caramelized. I tried one and it was crispy as still raw. My rigatoni with bolognese sauce was excellent. The acidity of the tomatoes was cut with a bit of creme. The bread was closer to Mrs Baird's than being Italian. We shared with the waiter the not so carmelized onions which had the manager come to our table with a serving of the onions to demonstrate that his rendition of carmelized was actually still raw. I had a soda and my wife ordered a long island iced tea. Not even close, it was hard to tell the difference between my coke and her drink. I guess we are too picky but we had expected more from an established, privately owned restaurant where the owners oversee the cooking and operation.

EXCELLENT little neighborhood restaurant. Wish more of these places existed. We stayed at an Air B&B just up the street within walking distance to the restaurant. The atmosphere, service and location was perfect. Notice I didn’t say anything about the food yet. IT was SUPERB. We ordered 4 entrees, 2 appetizers, and 1 dessert and everything that came out of the kitchen was fresh and full of flavors. We sat out on the back patio as the weather that night was perfect for outdoor dining. There is literally zero negatives I can write about this restaurant. Well done Piola!!!! Until next time….
