The best Italian food I ever ate in California! Great menu! Vegetarian menu available upon request. Summer was our server and she did an amazing job! Highly recommend to make reservations.

My husband and I had been to pietro twice. Once we sat at the bar and just recently in the dining area. Both times, we had a great time. Food is so exquisite and delicious. I keep getting the gnocchi, I'm obsessed with that entree. It's so decadent, rich and full of flavor. I do need to venture out from their menu. Service is beyond expectations. Waiters go out of their way to make you feel at home and will indulge in a great conversation and they know the menu very well, as to make good recommendations and what the specials is for the day. We can't wait for the steakhouse to be open and pierto's to expand the the Italian family restaurant. We are looking forward to it.

I haven't been there since I was 18, and wow!! What have I been missing!!! Such great food, waitress was awesome and the atmosphere was great. The restaurant was very busy for afternoon time, but every employee had a job and that place rocked!! Thank you so much for a great meal.. I'll definitely be back ❤️

Outstanding food and service!
Called for a reservation but was seated an hour early... as soon as we arrived!
Definitely will return!
Best NY strip steak we have EVER had. Parpardelle pasta with Roman ox tail ragu was phenomenal!

My first time here and they did not disappoint. The atmosphere was excellent and food was delicious. I got the Pappardelle and really enjoyed it. Definitely recommend to anyone in the area.

Last summer, I spent a month in Italy and fell in love with the food—who wouldn’t? This weekend, I ended up in Lodi and, as though it was meant to be, Pietro’s showed up as a restaurant on my map. So, I decided to give it a try—and I absolutely fell in love.

The service was impeccable. Our waitress was knowledgeable about each dish and eager to share her recommendations. We ordered the Margherita pizza, a kid’s cheese pizza, the porchetta, and the ripieni. While I didn’t try the porchetta, I did have the ripieni, and it was the closest dish I’ve had to my favorite meal in Parma, Italy. It was incredibly flavorful, and the cream sauce was so decadent that I almost didn’t want to finish it—I didn’t want the experience to end.

Typically, we don’t order dessert, but the food here was so good that we couldn’t resist. We ended up with the seasonal gelato pie, which tasted like an Italian strawberry shortcake. It was so irresistible that it deserved an eyes-closed moment.

This place comes highly recommended by me and is absolutely worth the hour-and-a-half drive for a date night—I promise!

My friend and I had an incredible meal at Pietro's Trattoria! The seafood was absolutely delicious—fresh, perfectly cooked, and bursting with flavor. We also tried the bruschetta, and it was amazing—crisp bread topped with a perfect blend of tomatoes, basil, and olive oil. The flavors were simple yet so satisfying, making it a delightful appetizer. The cozy, elegant atmosphere, paired with the attentive and friendly service, made our visit even more enjoyable. It was a memorable dining experience, and we’re already looking forward to coming back!

My wife was flying back from SMF on Friday, so we met here which was about halfway; 1) to avoid traffic, and 2) I've been wanting to check it out. This place is excellent. I don't understand all the negatives. The service for one was amazing. Made a reservation online, that was easy. We sat down, the waitress was excellent. We ordered a bottle of wine, and she gave us the specials and was open to providing her recommendations. The bread came... and OMG, so good! Anyway, we ordered the Barbabietola Salad to share as our appetizer. No picture, but it was beautiful and so tasty! For the main course, my wife had Broiled Chicken and I ordered the Creste de Gallo and added sausage. All was delicious. We finished it off with a delicious price of Tiramisu to share and a Cappuccino. Excellent as well! Apparently, my parents used to come here often before COVID and they loved it. Had no idea. We will definitely come back here and try their other dishes.
