"This was my first time here and I definitely enjoyed it. I had the gnocchi and it was great. My only problem is that I had eaten a big lunch and wasn't very hungry. I will be back though and the next time, I'll be ready to 'chow down'..... :-)"

"Not sure what to expect -- and I was pleasantly surprised. Got there early and had no problem being seated. The menu was just varied enough and I chose old favorites to check on quality. A Caesar salad was definitely tasty -- with nice crunchy croutons. Loved the calamari Tuscan style with garlic, tomatoes and beans -- it was perfectly seasoned and so rustic!! The glass of Chianti at $8 rounded out the meal. To add to my pleasure, there was a lovely, very conversational couple at the adjacent table. Had a lovely time at a "table for one!" Forgot to mention, the service was initially slow. But, once I really got on their radar, I never fell off!"

"My husband and I had eaten here many years ago. We decided to go there again because we were going to the theater nearby, and I had a Restaurant.com certificate. I had read some negative reviews online, but decided to give it a try anyway. We arrived at 6PM and it wasn't at all crowded. We were greeted cordially, and given our choice of tables. When we told our waitress we had a Restaurant.com certificate, we were neither moved nor were we given a special menu as I had read in another review online. I had the pumpkin ravioli, which was absolutely delicious. My husband had a pasta dish with sausage and broccoli that he thoroughly enjoyed. We both agreed that we would gladly go back in the future when we're in that area."

"I like Pietrasanta, I love the homemade pasta, the bread and the quick service. I have gone there many times for pre-theater and always made my play and had a good meal at a reasonable price. I am not saying this is the best Italian ever but it is pretty darn good! I also like it because I only drink champagne/sparkling wine and so many restaurants do not serve anything decent by the glass and they actually had two! Plus they have a wide selection of bottles of wine for under $30."

"The food was very good. It came well prepared and served hot. On the menu there wasn't written that the entrees came with two side dishes. So I ordered another side dish which wasn't finished. I could have done without it and just had the ones that came with the entree. I will return in the future to try the restaurant again."

"I am from Rhode Island, and although we have many faults as a state we do have the best restaurants in the USA. However, the brandy tomato cream sauce I had on the lobster ravioli was among the best I have ever had. My wife had her standby dish, chicken parm, and was pleased with both the chicken and the pasta and sauce side."
