Pietro & Son — Restaurant in City of Elmira

This was the worst experience I’ve ever had in my life. I went in there. The silverware was dirty, and the food was not good. I proceeded to tell the gentleman the silverware was dirty and the food wasn’t that great and he got furious and embarrassed me mind you I was still going to pay for the food and just leave and he got so nasty that the actual owner came out and I said first of all the food was not good and the silverware was dirty and she proceeded to tell me get out get out get out no problem so when I was like I know you’re not yelling at me she’s talking about she’s gonna call the cops and I’m never allowed in there again and embarrassed me in front of my son. You’re not even Italian why older people go there probably because they have no-taste buds or something because I would never go there again there dirty and disrespectful. I don’t understand why they treated me like that. I guess no one ever complains in there. I didn’t like how he assumed that I was trying to get out of paying the meal when I told him even though the food was not good and the silverware was dirty I was still gonna pay for the order. I don’t know what the F has problem was and the female the owner was even more of a jerk than he was and then he comes out making pizza, dirty hands, dirty shirt, dirty they...

Very disappointed. What used to be my family's favorite restaurant is no more. We gave our orders at 5 pm. Our drinks came out at a decent time, but the garlic knots didn't come out until well after our salads. At this point our entrees came out intermittently. One person in our party was given the wrong side. When we asked for it to be corrected, we got charged extra for the proper side. A second person in our party waited an hour after her entree was brought out to get her side. A third person in our party didn't get their meal brought to them until around 7 pm. That is 2 hours after we ordered, about an a hour and 15 minutes after the rest of us were served our meals. We eat as a family. That being said, we waited to eat our meals until all meals were served. Needless to say, all meals were cold by the time the last meal was brought out. So without taking a single bite out of our entrees, we asked for to-go boxes, the check and left. We will never be...

Pietro's is a sweet little Italian restaurant with a diner feel. They are always hopping and conveniently located just minutes from downtown. My husband had Veal Parmesan and I had Veal Marsala. Delicious Parmesan garlic knots and a small loaf of homemade Italian bread were first brought out to us with a small dish of Bruschetta to share. This was a wonderful way to start our meal. Sooooo warm and delicious! Salads followed with iceberg lettuce and veggies. They were good sized and tasty. Then came the dinners which we both absolutely loved. The food was outstanding. The prices were very reasonable. You will definitely enjoy the authentic Italian experience of Pietro's. I encourage you to give them a try. You will be...
