"The wedding soup was outstanding. I had lasagna which was very good. My husband had the shrimp pasta special which he said was excellent. We both ate dessert. my dark chocolate gelato was to die for. my husbands layered cake was very good. The volinplayer made it extra special. The service is average. It took a long time to take our order and we had to ask for more drinks & dessert. It is pretty pricey to have just average service which is the only reason I would hesitate to go back. This was our second visit. The service was worse the last time."

"Pitrelli's serves quality food in a friendly, pleasant atmosphere; but the things I like most about it is that it is locally owned, and even more importantly, the owners are there in the restaurant: visible, greeting and conversing with customers. If you visit them a couple times and strike up a conversation, Jim will probably remember your name on the next visit, and he'll welcome you as if you've come to his house for dinner.
The food is good, honest, home cooked Italian fare, and the menu is varied enough that you should be able to find something that suits you. They even have gluten free options. Prices are little on the high side.
The service is just OK, which is what you might expect from a local restaurant using mostly local kids."

"My 10 year old son choose Pitrelli's for his family birthday celebration. He'd been looking forward to it for months. We made the reservation through Open Table and when we arrived, there were people waiting but we were seated right away. The food was very good and the waiter suggested a terrific wine! Our only issue was the cranky toddler next to us who was crying in my ear.. Why don't parents take their crying babies outside?? Never understood that?? After the left, it was a very pleasant experience."

"This was our second visit to Pitrelli's in about a year. There were four adults in our party. We shared appetizers among the four of us, and each couple shared a medium pizza and had dinner salads. All of us got an "adult beverage". The food was excellent as was the service. Everything was fresh. The marinara sauce on the pizzas and w/ the appetizers is delicious. Our server was a very friendly young man with a good sense of humor. It was an unhurried dinner, and we had a great dining experience!"

"There were 3 in our party. The service was fine. We ordered the Chicken Simpatico, Veal and Proscuitto Totellacci and the Porcini and Truffle Oil Ravioli. Mine was the Ravioli. The sauce was a little thin and could have reduced more, it didn't cling very well to the pasta, but the taste was fantastic. We all agreed the Tortellacci was the best tasting dish but all were great. We ordered the Zaccagnini Montepulciano, which I absolutely love and never see. There were some usual suspects on the wine list but overall it didn't look corporate, nice job, and there were more than a few gems. So to this point everything was pretty much spot on. The desserts we ordered were a whole different story We ordered the amaretto cheesecake and a three layer"

"Service was slow and the food was poor. Our meals were overloaded with pasta with minimal meat or fish, depending upon what we ordered. In addition, the fish was slightly overcooked and very dry.
The area we sat in was a long narrow part of the room; the people at the booth next to us were not talking that loudly, but it carried all throughout the narrow room. Some drapes or fabric wall covering would minimize the noise.
Not worth going to again."

"My food was very good, but my husband thought it was better the last time we had been there. We were disappointed to learn they were out of Gnocchi which is the main reason we went to Pitrelli's. The waiter told us they ran out earlier in the week. I would have thought on a Saturday night they would have it available."

"This is a very quaint restaurant. However, we were originally seated in an extremely uncomfortable booth (seat back straight up and absolutely no cushioning). We asked to be seated at a table (with cushioned seats) elsewhere in the restaurant if possible. The server and hostess were happy to accommodate without any questions, thus we were very pleased with the service at this point. Unfortunately, by being moved, we were no longer located in our server's section though he continued to serve us. Our service at this point was a bit disjointed. However, with all this said, we would return as the food is delicious and the 94 year old violinist, Jack, are worth coming back for."

I had the evening special of cod over orso and ate every last bite. The suggested paired wine was perfect. Loved Jack. His stop at our table just before we left was the perfect ending to a wonderful date night."

"The food was excellent! Basic, simple Italian dishes done with care and nice little touches that added to the flavors. I had the seafood ravioli and it was delicious. My wife (an excellent Italian cook in her own right) had the spinach and cheese ravioli and was impressed. Top it all off with a bottle of Falanghina white wine from the Campania region of southern Italy and you are there. For good measure there is a strolling violinist who plays requests. La bella notte!"

"The bartender was the best! Very personable and kept everyone at the bar laughing... Maybe it was due to the two Martini's we had before dinner?"

"Great food! A.J., our server, was wonderful...he didn't rush us at all. Another highlight was having Jack play his violin in the room we were in. He played about 8 different songs. Great evening."

"This was our first time at Pitrelli's. We had a reservation & were seated right away. I liked the ambiance, & that we got a booth that was comfortable enough for the six of us. The server was very friendly & recommended several things. My one complaint was that for the quality & quantity of food, I thought it was a bit pricey. I ordered the special, which was chicken piccata. They had run out of the type of pasta it came with & offered to substitute linguine. I preferred no pasta at all, so the server suggested mixed vegetables. There were two chicken breasts on the plate, over mushy, overcooked carrots & green beans. The sauce was a bit heavier & richer than I thought it would be. This dish was definitely not worth $21.00"

"The food was hit-or-miss: some things were delicious, some things were lacking. There was a violin player serenading tables, which was a nice touch for Valentine's Day. It's a little over-priced, but my entree was worth the money. It wasn't as intimate as I thought it would be because the patrons ranged from families with children to adults on dates."

"This was about the fifth time I have taken my wife to Pitrelli's and it seems to be better everytime. We had an excellent valentines day. I enjoyed the new menu set-up. The pizza I had was delicious at the restaurant and the next day. My wife had ravioli and loved it. The ambiance is great for a private dinner for two."

"Although Pitrelli's is a family run restaurant with excellent food, we found the prices to be entirely too high. Our salads were brown on the edges appearing to be possibly sitting open in a refrigerator for too long. The atmosphere was quiet for a romantic evening, however, the decor was dated. I just didn't find it to be worth the money compared with other italian restaurants."

"Very disappointing...after reading other reviews, i was really looking forward to the classic family style italian experience...it is no wonder i had never heard of Pitrelli's, even though i lived 6 miles down the road for 4 years...the dining area of dark, grim, and cramped...i knew i was in trouble when our waitress read the specials off a card and could not describe/pronounce some of the menu items...portions were large, which is a definite positive...for the food quality, Pitrelli's was overpriced...my girlfriend loved the chicken parm but the tomatoes in her sauce came from a can...for $20, is it too much to expect quality...do not recommend"

"Wonderful valentines dinner date! We made a reservation with Pitrelli's based off of recommendations from others and loved it! The waiter was extremely friendly and knowledgeable! He shared popular dishes with us and this actually caused us to change our orders - were definitely weren't disappointed! We ordered the Eggplant Parmesan(fantastic!) and Seafood Tomato Carbonara (awesome!). The violinist didn't start playing until we were almost finished with our meal but I think it's something I will enjoy when we go back."
