Same location where it was called Pizza Antica before. The location in Google maps is incorrect and actual location is across the side street from the parking lot.Good food, very good and friendly service. Try the mushroom pizza, salmon, or chicken dish. They also have $7 sangria specials starting on Thursdays every week.The ambience is friendly and the decor is minimalist. The portions are big. You can see the impact of inflation in the prices.If you pay using the QR code (sends you to Toast) it includes tax for calculating tip percentages, which is not great. Hopefully they fix it.Vegetarian options: They will customizeKid-friendliness: Small selection of usual kids items

We walked in and the hostess told us there were no tables available even though only one table in the entire restaurant was occupied and everything else was empty. We were given the option to sit at the bar or outside when it was raining hard. We sat at the bar but I felt like I had been cheated so I called the restaurant on my mobile phone from the bar and the hostess told me that the restaurant was open seating and that tables were available if I walked in and that they only accept reservations for parties of 5+. This made me feel very disappointed and I went up to her and asked her if she could sit us at a table to which she flatly told us no table is available even though I could see at least half the restaurant still had empty tables.By that time my partner had ordered the Tuscan white bean bacon and kale soup which was very watery and lacked flavor. We paid and left but won’t be returning to this place for sureThe city of Danville will not be getting my business anytime soon if ever!

The food is delicious. I enjoy sitting outside in the fresh air (keeping warm by the heater on cooler days). Service has been great. Comfortable setting. Will need to try sitting indoors in the future.

This restaurant has moved locations so be sure you have the right location in your GPS to go here. There is no parking lot but there is one across the street. The menu is pretty diverse, with some Mexican, California Cuisine, and Italian type items. Our party ordered very different dishes, and we all loved them. The Diablo shrimp is spicy, and comes with about 7 large shrimp to eat. The leg of lamb is huge and very tender. Another friend got the black and blue salad, and enjoyed it very much. My friend had a burger and I had the mushroom ravioli. Dropping one star due to cost, and some portions seemed pretty good, others on the lighter side.

I didn't enjoy it. The service was good and place was ok. Not many vegetarian options. The salad was ok. Butternut squash Ravioli was weird tasting. I don't think I would go again.

With such a positive experience, there's no doubt that I'll be returning to The Peasant and the Pear. The combination of great food, inviting atmosphere, and outstanding service make it a standout dining destination. If you're looking for a restaurant with a perfect blend of culinary excellence and warm hospitality, The Peasant and the Pear is the place to be. I can't wait for my next visit!
I came here looking for pork chop. The pork chop was quite good. Not dry and flavorful. Overall, all the food was good. The service was a little spotty. The waitress did not come around regularly and we had to wait for the bill. My husband like the ambience of the restaurant. We will be back.
I was excited to try this restaurant after many recommendations and glowing reviews. It's a quaint joint in DT Danville with both outdoor and indoor seating. They have excellent menu options that consist of variety so it's perfect for anyone at the table. We ordered pizza and the steak. It truthfully wasn't the most amazing meal I've had, but I was pleased overall. Wine was great, vibes were great. I don't think I'd be dying to return, more like a one and done unless in the area typically or looking for something with options for several people!

I came here originally about 12 years ago, food was decent back then and it still is now. They moved locations during the pandemic so now they are located on West Prospect Blvd adjacent to the parking lot in the area and next to the Danville Brewin Co. My family is was there for a celebration, I got to try everyone's food ;) Pizzas: Corn pizza was 8/10 - good flavor, thin crust Bbq chicken pizza was 7/10 - decent flavor, could have used a bit more sauce Bbq burger 7/10: meat was cooked well, good ingredients. Felt like it was lacking the extra oomph in flavor, tasted better after adding some mayo Rack of lamb: 8/10 cooked well, good flavor Service was prompt, attentive, and friendly. Feels like an upscale restaurant which makes the price you pay for the meal feel valid. This restaurant is a welcome part of the community, there is a reason they have been around so long :)

The Pork Chop was very good The Calamari fritters were complete junk and a total waste of money. They were dry and over cooked.Waiter really didn't know his job very well. He was nice but maybe he's new. I would suggest sitting at the bar if you want good service. Tables are crammed in next to each other so definitely not a fine dining place at all. I won't be back..
