    We had a waiter and waitress serving us and they were both amazing! They had great suggestions (some even less expensive than what we originally wanted so they seemed genuine). Everything we had was delicious: Oysters, Wellington Burger, The Waterzooi, Eggnog Creme Brulee

    Our experience at pietros could not be beat! The staff was so attentive and so so nice! The food was absolutely delicious and don’t forget to add a glass of pop-secco! We were in the igloos and had private dining complete with Carolers and all. The owners were unbelievable and so accommodating. We honestly made amazing memories that night that will last a lifetime! Thank you for bringing Christmas magic to our family that evening🎄

    This is the best restaurant in Long Island and quite possibly the best diner we have ever been to. The staff are impeccably trained, gracious, helpful, and just lovely people. The food is amazing! Everything from their salads, to their sliders or chicken and waffles, everything on the menu is delicious. We come here often and love it! I cannot recommend this restaurant enough!!
