The last thing I expected to find in Old Town was a decent Italian spot. Gorgeous design, very well thought out, lots of light and decorations, natural wood and transparent ceiling on the patio. Best gnocchi I ever tried, rich and creamy bourbon sauce, lots of truffle flavor which I loved, could use a little more mushroom and sausage, both were barely there. So delicious, if you’re a truffle fan – do yourself a favor and indulge! Old fashioned was disappointing, weak and watery, using simple syrup instead of a sugar cube. Service was amazing, super friendly and quick. Will definitely be back!

Food was amazing here. Our server was very sweet and helped us pick out some delicious food. The shots were amazing! I’m only giving it 4 because we waited a little over an hour for the food. Definitely don’t come here starving. Otherwise I loved this place and strongly recommend!!

It is rare that I been to a restaurant and Ieave completely disappointed and this was one of the rare moment. Even if not crowded the service was slow and some waitress were confused. As soon we got a table they were supposed to clean and have us sea but nobody came to clean anything so we just got annoyed to wait and sear. Then food was all a mess, the pasta for my daughter was overcooked and bland. My gnocchi were supposed to taste like truffle…but no….my son margherita pizza was so sad that he didn’t finish it and my wife ravioli looks good but taste bad and they taste exactly like the Giovanni Rana stuffed ravioli that you buy at the grocery store. As last, the lady at front wad a little bit rude with my wife and that do not make the experience more pleasant. They are lucky to be in a touristy area were 90% of the people don’t know what are they eating and think to eat real Italian food. It is sad because Don Pietro is supposed to be a Sicilian trattoria but nothing was even close to a real Sicilian dish. Skip this place if you can or if you expect to eat “Sicilian” dishes

Fun little spot in the heart of Old Town. The food was top notch, the drinks were great and the atmosphere is fun (& instagram-able). Wouldn’t expect an Italian place in Old Town, but so worth it if craving Italian and are in or near the area! We took the trolley there and the walk was a tad further than expected but easier than driving and looking for parking…

If you don’t go anywhere near Europe or Italy to try Italian cuisine, this place might seem to have okay American aka Italian food.

This service-forward gem of an eatery makes my heart sing each visit. I’ve dined at the bar, in the dining room and in both outdoor areas, always charmed. It’s owned by a Sicilian family that’s long been in the industry. Tasty food, beautiful wine list, excellent cocktails. A rare place that invokes sheer joy each visit.

The experience was terrible! We were seated immediately; however, not a single person attended to us and there were plenty of service people around. After sitting there for over 20 minutes, I had to hail down a busboy for two cups of hot water with lemon, which took him 10 minutes to serve to us. When he did, I asked him to please let the servers know that we were ready to order. Still, no one came. By now over 30 min has past since we sat down. I was tempted to just leave, but it was close to 8pm, didn’t want to try another place, so I asked the server that was serving the table next to ours who was our server, she went to find out. Saw her talking to the hostess and another server and came back to inform that no one has been assigned so she’ll “take” us on. She was very professional and nice, but just thought the establishment was not. No one bothered to apologized for leaving us unattended for so long and as a patron, no one should be treated this way.
