Excellent place. One efficient and comfortable room with a six seat bar.The servers and staff work well as a team and are eager to please. The tuna appetizer was excellent as was the pear salad. both specials were tasty and good sized( the pork chop and the pappardel ), Pistachio Gelatto finished it off nicely

Piacere Mio’s Chef takes stuffed zucchini flowers to a new level with its creamy filling! The pistachio gelato that has become an after dinner drink is out of this world, combining the best of dessert and an after dinner cordial. I couldn’t have imagined that they could’ve improved on their delicious pistachio gelato, but they have succeeded. In fact, I’ve never had a bad dish at this restaurant. The octopus is tender and beautifully seasoned. The risotti are creamy and full of flavor. The veal dishes never disappoint. What more could you ask for from an Italian restaurant? We’re thrilled that there is something in this area with food as delicious as theirs!

This was our second visit and it was great. We enjoyed the quality of the food and the attentive and professional staff. The food was very traditional in how it was prepared. Many Italian restaurants over salt or season their food or make cliche dishes , this Resturant’s does not do that it is creative and based in real Italian dishes.

Our first time at the restaurant, I ordered the TAGLIATELLE CON ARAGOSTA which I thought was very good and flavorful and my wife ordered the SCALLOPPINE DI VITELLO ALLA PARMIGIANA which tasted spicy and she didn’t care for it. If it said spicy on the menu she wouldn’t have ordered it. The waiter service wasnt very good and took away from the experience. The waiter never checked in on us after we placed our order. Never asked if we wanted dessert. I had to ask the greeter for the check and the waiter finally showed up when I was ready to pay. If you live service, it wasn’t very good here. Not sure if we’ll come back.

Dinner specials start at $70 and drinks at $15. Small portions and over cooked food. Came home and had to make dinner.
