Pietro's Italian Restaurant

Such great food, oh my goodness! Our waiter, Eric, was great! He recommended great wine and food for us for our date night. I would definitely go there again for sure. The food and atmosphere was great! Would recommend the meatballs as your appetizer.

We discovered Pietro's in Maps while trying to figure out what struck our fancy for dinner back in September 2022. After reviewing the menu and the menu prices, we decided to check it out. When we arrived there toward the tail end of their dinner hours, we noted to the Hostess that we were from an hour or so away and that we were extremely hungry. We were then sat at one of the coziest booths in the Bar area, which was quaintly decorated like an Italian villa, complete with cobalt blue-tiled wooden tables and vibrant terrazzo floor tiles. Our jovial and helpful server that evening ironically happened to be a former Lansing resident, who gave us the walkthrough on the menu, with a few suggestions. We opted the split the two samplers - Lasagne di Pietro & Fettuccine Michael and the Northern Combo (Fettucine Alfredo, Lasagne di Pietro, one Meatball and one Italian sausage) - and an order of Italian Spring Rolls in Basil Plus Sauce. The Spring Rolls were awesome along with the Basil Plum Sauce - the flavours were so complementary and balanced with good quality ingredients. Each offering within each of the samplers were divine. We were SO full from finishing just one sampler plate that we took the other sampler home, which was just as filling the next day. The total bill for the samplers and the appetizer was surprising quite affordable. We were so impressed that we had to take my Mother-in-Law back here for a surprise dinner before experiencing the John Ball Zoo Lantern Festival in mid-May 2023. My Mother-in-Law absolutely squeaked when she arrived in front Pietro's, saying that this was one of her favourite places to dine during her teacher continuing education conferences in the late 80's/early 90's. She had regretted that she did not eat at Pietro's often due to the sticker-shock of the menu items back then. During our dinner with her, we essentially ordered the same thing back in September as full entrees. We split the Italian Egg Rolls, the Lasagne di Pietro and the Fettuccine Michael between her, my husband, and me. She also had the same fantastic reaction to the food like we did. The service was just as exemplary as our previous visit. And the price points of the menu items were more than reasonable for my MIL that she is NOW planning on returning back to Pietro's with her boyfriend soon. Overall, with wonderful server and great, reasonably-priced food, Pietro's Italian Restaurant is now one of our go-to restaurants when we are in Grand Rapids.

What an incredible pizza with Fresh Mozzarella, Fresh Italian Sausage, Pepperoni, Meatballs, Bacon, Mushrooms, Onions, and Roasted Garlic. Instead of the muddled flavor of ingredients blending together that you get on some pizzas, you could taste each individual ingredient and the fresh Italian sausage was fantastic as was the crust. Definitely one of the best pizzas I've had in quite a few years. This will likely become my 'go to' place for pizza going forward.

Our server Colleen was so so so amazing!!!! The food was delicious and it was easy to make a reservation.

This place came highly recommend by some friends. Came her with some family and and it did not disappoint! The restaurant was very clean and cozy with a very athletic Italian feel and beautiful decor! The food is prepared and presented perfectly! Im not a big Italian guy, but this place is amazing! Or waitress seemed new however an was seldom at hand. But other than that all other servers and staff was on point and highly professional!
