    Piazza 1909 was able to modify my meal to accommodate my dietary needs exceptionally well, and my husband enjoyed what he ordered from the regular menu. They offer more gluten free options than most restaurants -- calamari, pizza, pasta, bread. They are also able to substitute dairy free cheese and leave bothersome ingredients out of many dishes if desired. We will be back!

    Food was excellent! Staff was courteous. They even let us borrow their umbrella when walked to their restrooms, which were outside the restaurant.

    Everything was perfect! Their gluten free eggplant parmesan special and pizza was delicious. And the ambience in the patio is always the best.

     we had another yummy dinner at Piazza 1909. They have a great menu with lots of options. I enjoy the linguine with clams. It’s fun to sit on the outside patio. The service was great and the food came out quite promptly. You’ll have a great meal here!

    Wonderful food. Not your standard Italian restaurant fare. Plenty of pasta, of course, but with a well rounded menu of fish, meat and pizza. We are regulars and I almost always have one of Chef Stefano's weekly specials. Fun to try something new each time we go with the confidence that all will be good. Can't miss dining.

    We had a wonderful meal and experience at Piazza 1909. When we got there, it was raining cats and dogs, so the seating possibilities at this mostly outdoor but tented venue were limited. We had a reservation for the side patio, so they put us inside at a table. The food and options were delicious. My wife had the pappardelle, and I had the braised short ribs. We had a nice cocktail and a glass of wine with our meal. The wine list has a nice range of choices. The service and atmosphere are very nice. The restaurant is very quiet so it is easy to talk. We will be back!
