Wonderful Experience!
I was there on a slow day, the day after labor day weekend with my parents. My father is a very enthusiastic Italian cook and asked if he could see the kitchen. A few minutes later, tiny kitchen, he came out with the chef/owner who could not have been nicer. We saw his family pictures and talked for about 15 minutes. The food is excellent, but the experience of this small passion filled restaurant, is the real treat.

Amazing
My husband took me to Da Pietro for my birthday and all I can say is the food was amazing, having lived and worked in NYC for many years I have been to many of the top restaurants (Le Cirque, 21 Club, Bouley) and Da Pietro is far better than many - bravo! Do not pass on the risotto w/black truffles - it's worth every $.

Excellent
My time at Da Pietro's was one of the most phenomenal eating experiences I've ever had. The food and the service was incredible, and Da Pietro seems to really love what he does. He keeps a constant flow of suprises - one appetizer that particularly stands out was the homemade, spinach-stuffed ravioli he served - it was beyond incredible. The beef was aged and cooked to perfection. . .it was tender enough I could cut it with my fork. The place only seats about 20-22, which allows the chef to pay personal attention to every dish served. The place is a bit cramped, but it's more than made up for by everything else.
