The only thing to say about the food at Piazza Presto is MAGNIFICENT!
Our dinners came with a small green salad and choice of pasta. The salads were fine. The balsamic vinaigrette dressing – served on the side - was quite good. The bleu cheese dressing could have benefited from a stronger cheese flavor but it was still fine.
For dinner we had mussels tossed in white wine sauce and a chicken and crab dish topped with a light Marsala cream sauce. This dish is new and not on their Internet-posted menu. Apparently it’s called the House Special. We chose linguine to accompany both meals. Portions sizes were more than adequate but not overwhelming.
The mussels were steamed to perfection. The wine sauce was wonderful with just a hit of tartness. When were were done there was nothing left but a plate of “dead soldiers” and a bowl so clean it probably didn’t need washing. If we’d had straws we’d have probably used them to be sure we got all the sauce.
The chicken dish was 5-stars! The sauce was a perfect blend of ingredients. The flavors of the crab as well as the Marsala came through but no flavor was overpowering. This is truly a delicious dish and I hope they make it a regular on the menu.
To sop up all the wonderful flavors we ordered a side of garlic knots. They were light and airy and similar to biting into a fresh croissant. We could have made a meal of just them and a dinner-sized salad.
The staff was very friendly and one of the people working in the open kitchen came over and talked with us. That says a lot about how the owners treat their employees. We made a point of telling him how good everything was.

Read morePiazza Presto is an absolute gem for Italian food lovers! This fast-casual Italian restaurant delivers an unforgettable dining experience with every dish bursting with freshness and flavor. The garlic knots are a must-try—warm, golden, and fluffy, they’re perfectly coated in a rich, buttery garlic sauce made with fresh minced garlic that hits all the right notes. Paired with their house-made marinara, these knots are so addictive I could make a meal of them alone! The lobster ravioli in rosa cream sauce, topped with lump crab meat, is pure indulgence. The ravioli are stuffed with sweet, tender lobster, and the creamy, garlicky rosa sauce is elevated by plump, briny crab chunks—a perfect harmony of flavors. The pizzas are equally spectacular, with a chewy, crispy crust made from fresh daily dough. The Margherita, with its vibrant tomato sauce, creamy fresh mozzarella, and fragrant basil, is a classic done right, while the Verona pizza, with spicy marinara and Italian sausage, brings bold, balanced flavors. The staff are incredibly warm and attentive, making you feel like family in a cozy, inviting atmosphere. Whether you’re dining in or taking out, Piazza Presto’s commitment to high-quality, fresh ingredients shines through in every bite. I’m already looking forward to...
Read moreWe dined in for the first time. The quality of the food and presentation were excellent. We had deliciously seasoned hot calamari. My husband had classic eggplant parmigiana. We ordered lemon cake for dessert which was light and tasty. I took off a star because I ordered a Greek salad as I often do at many places. The salad was well executed but it came out with raspberry vinaigrette. I asked the waitress if I could have Greek dressing and she said they didn’t have any. I think they ran out because there are several Greek items on the menu. I wished she had asked what kind of dressing I wanted. I probably would have ordered something different or requested oil and vinegar. I still ate half of the salad and took the other half home in a box to enjoy with my Greek dressing. I would return but I will ask specific...
