We had a cheesy roasted onion, timbale, beef ribs, nice bottle of wine recommended by our server, and chocolate pate and semi-fredo cannoli. All fantastic! Chef has seen Big Night "thousands of times" and his use of ingredients and care mimics that chef. Lovely evening we will long remember! Grazie!“

“Cute little mom and pop pizza joint. Quaint atmosphere. Our server was so lovely and Food came out right away.We had the garlic knots with mozzarella on the side and thise knots were on point! So delicious!We also ordered the giant meatballs and they were 'ok', the marinara sauce though was very good and tasted fresh!We also got a medium half cheese and half pepperoni. The crust was amazing! My kiddos ate it up!My husband and I and a friend of ours ordered a hawaiian Sicilian pizza. Personally, I was expecting a thicker crust and it's not what we got and it wasn't cooked all the way through, so very doughy. However, my husband and friend enjoyed it, I didn't.I did ask the manager/owner about it and that is how they usually make it, they basically stack 2 crusts together, add toppings, and then cook it. So if you're ok with doughy pizza then according to my husband, it very yummy. While I enjoyed the kiddos pizza more.Owner/manager was fantastic though! He did offer to make another one and cook it more. He was very professional and friendly.So we will definitely go back! I'd love to try some of their other dishes.“

We both kept it simple - I got the Bruschetta Appetizer, and Sauteed Ravioli (which were to die for), enough that I ordered a take out portion for later. Out of all of the places I have been in my life, the quality, taste and freshness surpasses many other "Italia" restaurants, knocks it right out of the park. My cousin got a Caesar salad and a pepperoni pizza (ate two slices but took it home with us to share with the others, lol) The staff is really nice, atmosphere is clean and looks great all around, and food, again, was amazing. I will definitely be back“

The food was absolutely wonderful. The service is outstanding from Grace the waitress, Chris and Javier in the back and John the owner. I will be back over and over. The food is great, the service is outstanding, and they made me feel at home. Thank you guys great job.“

“We recently did our first large order from Piesano’s (we’ve only done orders for our four person family until now). It was an awesome experience and the food was fantastic as always. We did the online pizza party deal for our son’s first birthday - it was an amazing deal and even though we thought we’d have a lot of leftover food, it was all gone by the end of the night! The food was ready at the pick-up time we chose, pizzas hot, and the salad and roll sides were such great accompaniments. Those rolls and their dipping sauce are to die for! We definitely plan to use Piesano’s again both for just ourselves and any other get-togethers we have.“

Good thing we have dressing at home, so it’s not really a big deal. I just really enjoy their Italian dressing. We always enjoy their food and will continue to!!!“

“Nobody should work for these people.. They are abusive to their employees. they steal their pay and they make people work off the clock and overtime without proper pay. When I made a big deal of it. I got paid on a Wed and gave these brothers all the Is opportunities to come talk to me and straighten it out. I was told on Wed it would be taken care of. It was not. Than told I had their WORD (not that that ment much) that someone would come in on Sat to fix everything. Not even a message sent to the store that they were not coming. I stayed with Johnny from LWR store till 1035 and nothing. Than on Sunday had the NERVES to call me to fill in for a CALL OUT. I went in to work that day. Also Sal don't make me post your text to me that Monday. U know yall are wrong that's why your acting like this. If yall just took better care of the people that work for yall.

“Quite a nice surprise, we stopped in for dinner and most everything surpassed our expectations. It's not the most impressive dining room, but that's the only negative I can give. First the drinks came and they were enormous from the mixed drinks to the wine pours, delicious as well! Next we ordered a variety from seafood, pork chops, and Chicken Parm... each one was enough for four meals and they were as good or better than any Italian restaurants I've been to in the area. Seafood was extremely fresh and after eating to capacity, it still went home in a FULL half sheet pan!! Pork chop was equally gigantic and both tender and juicy with great flavor. the chicken parm was two large (as big as the plate) cutlets that were perfectly cooked and served with just the right amount of sauce and cheese. We were never rushed and enjoyed everything. This will definitely be a favorite for when we have a big appetite and the urge for some NJ/NY style Italian feast. The price was more than reasonable, considering the number of meals we will eventually get from the dinner! Give it a try...“
