San Pietro is a family restaurant owned and operated by a family comprising every aspect of the Restaurant from the kitchen to the front of the house. Once you dine at San Pietro it will become your favorite Italian restaurant.
After speaking with Mr Gerado Bruno , the president San Pierto he told us , he has an olive farm in Italy , where they grow the olives and make extra virgin oil, and cherry tomatoes and have it imported in the USA, where they use them in the ingredients for their restaurant.
Classic Cheesecake
The food is freshly cooked, prepared fresh, we tried the eggplant appetizer dish, it was the best we tasted at an Italian restaurant, other dishes we tasted was veal, freshly cooked , it was so tender it melted in your mouth.
I had the Brazzini Fish, nicely cooked and filed with fresh mixed vegetables; the fish was tender, soft and full of taste.
eggplant parmigiana
The Desserts were very tasty, Cheesecake, Chocolate cake , and fresh pears in their own sauce , Italian Donuts, that you dip in a homemade sauce , that tasted out of this world.., with a nice cappuccino and espresso , of course Italian style.
Red and yellow beets, candy walnuts, goat cheese with a beets vinaigrette Salad
The full bar had all kinds of Wines, Liquors, Juices soft drinks and much more, the service was excellent with the Captain waiter and his wait staff , giving the best possible service one can offer.
