The whole team is great. Manolo, the head waiter, is fantastic. The service, the food, the whole experience was top shelf from the moment we arrived to the moment we departed, our bellies full of delicious food and with smiles on our faces from such a delightful evening at this amazing restaurant. We are grateful for an unforgettable dining experience! Thank you, Manolo! Thank you, San Pietro!

Great food, What a fabulous place! The menu is a testament to culinary creativity, featuring a delightful array of dishes inspired by both local flavors and global cuisine. From succulent seafood to tender cuts of meat, every bite is bursting with flavor and expertly seasoned to perfection. And let's not forget about the presentation—each plate is a work of art, almost too beautiful to eat (but trust me, you won't be able to resist).

We had an early dinner so the restaurant had few customers and most were outside. The service, as always, was exceptional. We had fried zucchini flowers and I had risotto. They were delicious. Always a pleasure.

We had lunch here two weeks ago and the prices are outrageous. Lunch for two with no drinks, no coffee, no dessert was over $200. We went with the specials the waiter recommended and each had a bowl of soup as an appetizer ($35 for EACH bowl of soup ... a lentil and a chicken). I had tuna which was a plain grilled tuna - nothing special ... it was overcooked and fishy - it was $70. There is a difference between price increases and price gouging and that will be the last time we don't ask for prices on specials or dine in this restaurant.

It's always great to come home to San Pietro. The head waiter who has been there for many many years is the most professional and courteous gentleman that you could ever want to be part of your dining experience. His knowledge and understanding of all of the dishes makes it a new adventure every time. Our favorite dishes are always the whole bronzino and spaghetti pomodoro. The menu always has something for everyone.

Manelo was amazing!!! He tended to our table with such attention and detail, making my daughter's very special 21st birthday a night to remember. We will definitely be coming back with the whole family just for him!

We were hosting business collegues from out of town who were warmly greeted as they entered the restaurant, the start of a perfect dinner! Our head waiter Manono and his team gave us first class treatment and recommendations on the flavorful food that followed. Veal/Pasta/Truffles/Ravioli - all perfectly delicious. Luckily room was left for dessert and the chocolate mousse/tiramisu and cannoli were the final touches on a perfect evening - Thank you ‘San Pietro', we look forward to seeing you soon!

OH. MY. GOD. I was skeptical about coming here because of the mixed reviews, but I am SO happy I went! My husband and I went out for a date after his work day nearby, and we were looking for a late evening walk in to have a romantic dinner together. SAN Pietro did not disappoint! The decor was phenomenal; dim lighting, romantic, it reminded me of the trip I took to Italy when I was in college. It brought back so many pleasant memories; don't even start me off with the food. I have never tasted something more authetic. All the food reminded my very italian husband of the food from his chlidhood, and I was happy I could indulge and taste what he loves in an authentic way. If you're skeptical, DON'T SECOND GUESS!! Go give this restaurant a try and surprise your sweetheart with a small escape to Italy.

Went to San Pietro for my five year anniversary and it was a magical night. A night to remember. Ordered the Ravioli San Pietro Con Burrata Pugliese and will come again for it!! The service was amazing and my boyfriend and I were very pleased. It was beautiful restaurant with a romantic ambiance, It has Swarovski Crystals that catches the light magically. I will defiantly come again with my friends and family.

Amazing food and ambiance, definitely coming back here again. Service was great and friendly. I came all the way from Long Island on a business trip and this restaurant was always on my to go list!

1 star for location and 1 star for ambiance, half star for service. We were hosting a large, 10 person group for dinner and had trouble finding a table last minute. We settled for San Pietro given our office proximity. The restaurant was empty, and reminded me of an establishment in little Italy. The head server was attentive and tried to cover several tables at once, which resulted in slower service. The food was mediocre (I make better pasta at home) and ridiculously overpriced (even for a miami resident!). Most items on the menu were "MP", spinach side was $24. The waiter also imposed apps on us that we never ordered. It's Little Italy style tourist trap. I will not return.

Amazing and authentic southern Italian food. The best salt-crusted branzino in town. An explosion of Italian
