    They must have been short staff as the service was near non existent. The server would only give our table 2 menues for 7 people despite multiple asks for more, had to ask multiple times for a single water refill. The food was egregiously priced. I would not recommend

    Fantastic food, but the service was quite slow. All of the dishes were delicious: we had the Insalata di Peperoni, tuna carpaccio and butterflied sardines to start. For mains, we had the pasta specials.

    I had a business lunch with 6 people and everyone was pleased with their entree. The only think that I noticed is they had a fly or 2 which was annoying but luckily it wasn’t the whole time

    Our dinner at San Pietro was fabulous. Old school Italian that takes you back to a different era. I love seeing the same service team, year after year. They continue to deliver some of the best Italian in the city.

    If you like great food, great service, great surroundings and great clientele, this is the place for you. I was hosting friends from Europe and they fell in love with the staff and the food. The bill is substantial but you get what you pay for at San Pietro! It is a great restaurant.

    We love San Pietro for dinner. It's quiet, the service is impeccable- Manolo explaining the extensive list of specials forward and backwards is always a highlight. They have delicious wines by the glass and the food is always superb.

    Classic NY Italian dining experience. Business traffic in midtown is still slowly coming back, so it’s easy to get a table on a weeknight - take advantage of this. The “Uomo principale”, Manolo, is a gem; a simply marvelous human being. Place your trust in him and you will enjoy a fantastic meal. We enjoyed an antipasto of fig and prosciutto along with a salmon tartar. The pasta course was among the best I have ever enjoyed - him made penne pasta with oso buceo veal. We wrapped up with amazing main courses of lamb and halibut. All were from the daily specials menu. They even whipped up an amazing spaghetti con bolognese for our son.
