    This is one of the best Italian restaurants in the city. Manolo's recitation of the specials for the evening, done forwards and then backwards, is a performance that I look forward to. Food quality is top-notch. In the evening, the place is busy but not too busy - so service remains attentive and there is not a noise issue.

    I have been coming to San Pietro for many years. It’s a very special restaurant in the heart of Midtown because it is one of few places here that doesn’t feel like it is owned by a restaurant group, and it certainly feels nothing like a chain because it isn’t. The food is usually exquisite. It is extremely expen$ive. I ordered one of the specials tonight, spaghetti with clams and red shrimp, and I was disappointed. The shrimp had to be shelled which made a big mess since they were covered with oil and garlic, and they were very fishy. There were only two clams. It was $65. For that price for a bowl of pasta, it should’ve been out of this world. Also, I didn’t want spaghetti, but they didn’t want to substitute a different kind of pasta. There is also no reason why a piece of cheesecake should be over $20. Yes, the service is really good, and generally the food is excellent, but I really think as good as it is, it’s just too much money and this might be my last visit. $600 for dinner for four: two appetizers, four entrées, four drinks, one piece of cake… Too much for most people. Save it for q VERY special occasion and bring A LOT of money.

    Though it was my first time, I went with a friend familiar with San Pietro. We had a marvelous salad and my friend had the risotto with piselli and speck, I had the Paccheri della Domenica. Superb! Memorable. Followed by extraordinary sorbets, peach and mandarin. Our host Manolo was marvelous in helping us discern what we each would most want.

    Excellent dining experience. Welcoming and friendly staff that were super attentive, knowledgeable, authentic and appreciative of customers. The food was incredible. The tomato basil and mozz in the caprese salad were deliciously fresh and flavorful. The cacio e pepe and pasta seafood special dishes were phenomenal. Wine selection was expansive and delicious. Excellent cappuccino for desert. Couldn’t have been a more pleasurable dining experience. Manolo was our waiter and made the experience all that much better. He makes the ambience feel like a true authentic old school Italian restaurant and makes connections with all of his diners. Such a pleasure to have dined with his service.

    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

    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.
