Nice atmosphere, Delicious Food! – I went with my wife recently to Pietrasanta and enjoyed the experience. Both of our meals were very tasty. The service was excellent and we really liked the cozy atmosphere. Would definitely return.

HOW THE MIGHTY HAVE FALLEN! – Over 20 years ago a good friend told us about this restaurant. We loved it, and were faithful customers until about 2 years ago. This past summer we dined there and had a really bad time, but tonight for my Mother's birthday we decided to give them one more try. Never again! The food has become so, how should we say, "...eh..." What makes it unacceptable is the horrible service. Our waiter, Rava was no where to be found after he took our order. They served cold sliced rye bread as the bread bask... read more

Pietrasanta was DELISH – Please do yourself a favor and go to Pietrasanta for a delicious Italian meal in New York. Please try the Gnocchi it was supple, soft and melted in my mouth! (And this is the first time I have eaten gnocchi that rivaled my mother's italian recipe for homemade gnocchi!)

wonderful atmosphere – I travel often to new york and always make a point to stop in to pietrasanta, the food is amazing and the service is just fantastic. I was frankly shocked to see the poor reviews on this page, this restaurant and its staff have been nothing but good to me over the years. i usually order the veal with portobello mushrooms and it is always high quality. i definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone travelling in manhattan for good prices and delicious food!

Pietrasanta Restaurant =- Awful treatment of customers – On Sat, Oct 18 we made a 5:30PM reservation for 4 at Pietrasanta. This was our first time at this restaurant. The prix fixe was very enjoyable and the waitress pleasant. We finished our dessert, paid our bill and were having our coffee. The hostess came to our table and asked us to leave. She said people were waiting in the lobby who are preordered their food; it was done and waiting to be served to them and they needed the table. I have never been asked to leave a res... read more

WHAT HAPPENED??? – We hadn't been to Pietrasanta for perhaps 5 years and were really looking forward to our recent dinner there. All I can say is that it MUST be under new management. The menu is uninspired, the food mediocre and the decor is rather down at the heels now. They used to have interesting pasta dishes on their menu, but no more. When we approached the front door I knew we were at the correct address, but though that certainly the real pietrasanta had moved... unfortunately no. It now looks like any other cut-rat... read more

Excellent Italian Food – We came to Pietrasanta because of a discount certificate, but we will go again because of the excellent food, The mixed greens salid with pecans, beets, pesto and goat cheese was a master piece, Somehow, the homemade pastas were even better. My wife and I have traveled the world, and many times you are treated differently, or the amount or quality of the food is short changed when you use a discount. Not so here, This is a real New York Treasure and well worth the little extra effort needed to get th... read more

Worst Dining experience I have ever had. Terrible Service not good food. – This was quite easily the worst dining experience I have ever had. I went with my 5 grandchildren at around 5:30pm for a special dinner after a day in the city. Although the restaurant was empty (there were maybe 4 other tables in use) it took the waiter forever to take our order. The food did not come for over 35 minutes. When it did arrive my dish and my grandson's dish were not what we ordered. Instead of apologizing and promptly fixing the situati... read more

Horrible service, mediocre food – I dined here in June with 7 friends. We called ahead to make sure the restaurant could accomodate us. When we arrived, the restaurant was pretty empty and our table was the only one our waiter had. Still, after introducing himself to us he took a phone call on his cell phone from what sounded like a girlfriend and proceeded to argue with her very loudly INSTEAD of taking our order. When he finally did return to our table we asked for recommendations. He had none. We asked about splitting the... read more
