“ Made a reservation ahead and was seated on the cold patio, not inside. Very disappointing as it was quite cold out there. Ordered off their specials menu: buffalo mozzarella ravioli with an eggplant tomato sauce and sausage. I did not notice any sausage in the dish, and the flavors were bland at best. Other people ordered a gluten free pasta with olives, capers and tomatoes, which was actually the best dish at the table. Service was great! Wine was middle of the road. Overall the 3 dishes we ordered were, average. Would I go back? Maybe. But not in a hurry. It was very crowded, so clearly they have a solid customer base that enjoys this style of food and service. ”
“ My cousin dropped me some pizza because I asked her to order me some while she was there. She got me this pizza with salami, mushrooms, and mozzarella. That's all I can tell visually looking at it. I was compelled to write a review because it's a very good pizza. I throughly enjoyed it. Given that she was driving from so far away, I was expecting it to be cold, a little hard, and with hardened cheese. Nope, this pizza is on the colder side (as expected) but still maintains the soft doughy texture, great cheese, even spread of pizza sauce, and great flavors. What really stood out to me was this charcoal flavoring to the dough, and I bet it was a fire oven that cooked this. If I'm wrong, then it sure tastes like this was cooked in a flame oven. I recommend, and I would come here for pizza in the future ”
“ Piacere Mio's Del Sur location is not one to be skipped! The quality of each and every dish was absolutely delectable. Highly recommend for special occasions, date night, or even a casual weekday meal. You won't be disappointed! What we drank ~ Negroni Old Fashioned Montepulciano What we ate ~ Fontana Pizza Lasagne Alla Bolegnese Spaghetti Carbonara Pollo Alla Parmigiana For dessert ~ Tiramisu Panna Cotta with Mixed Berries Service was excellent, but it being the holiday season, it got crowded toward the end of our meal, so we felt a bit rushed out, but we were happy to cut the convo a bit short to allow other patrons to their table. We will be back! ”
“ Service was outstanding. I wish I got his name. He had a lot of tables to take care of, but he did the best he can to make sure everyone was accommodated. It took awhile to get our order taken and the wait for our food was longer than expected but the food is well worth it! We sat on the outdoor patio, which had heaters and enclosed. So even though it was cold outside, it was at a decent temperature to eat at. Plenty of parking...gets a little crowded during prime eating times, but the walk isn't far at all. The plaza has a large parking lot for all the businesses. if anything, you will take a couple of minutes to walk during busy times. ”
“ The restaurant is bright with lots of windows to let in natural light. Servers were attentive and came around to refill our waters often. - Caravaggio Pizza: 5/5 - I'm usually not a fan of mushrooms but this combination was pretty good - Spaghetti with Pink Sauce with Shrimp: 5/5 - love the creamy sauce and the shrimp was cooked just right - Halibut Special: 4/5 - the sauce wasn't as good, but the halibut was a good texture ”
“ It had been years since my family and I ate here, and I'm glad we decided to visit again! The moment we walked in through the doors, everyone was very very warm and welcoming - super enthusiastic, as if we were guests in their own home. The environment was bright and open. It wasn't too crowded and everything was clean and neat. The food was great as well. We got polenta with mushrooms and cheese as an appetizer which had the perfect blend of flavors and textures. I ordered the beef ravioli with mushroom sauce- perfectly al dente, with amazing flavor that wasn't too salty. Then for dessert, we ordered the day's special which was the espresso creme brulee. The only complaint is that the sugar wasn't torched well/melted &solidified, BUT it still tasted delicious regardless. The fruit was sweet and it tasted similar to coffee ice cream! Overall, would highly recommend and can't wait to be back again (: ”
“ Came here on a Wednesday evening. The place was packed so knew it had to be popular! The staff were friendly and the food came out timely. The bread they served prior to dinner was complimentary but it was a little on the dry side and lacked flavor if I'm being honest. I ordered the bolognese with handmade pappardelle pasta and it was cooked perfectly al dente and was delicious. I will definitely come back to try more menu items! ”
