" This was my first visit to Pistone's, and I must say the experience was quite delightful. The pasta was cooked to perfection, and I especially loved the lasagna, which turned out to be very filling. The atmosphere combined with the live music created a lovely evening. The staff was friendly but slightly disorganized, as I experienced a bit of a wait for my dessert. Overall, a pleasant dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Pistone's and was quite impressed with the overall experience. The decor is charmingly retro, and the ambiance is cozy but lively with the live music. I ordered the clam linguine, which was beautifully prepared; the clams were fresh and perfectly cooked. However, I would’ve liked a stronger flavor in the sauce. My server was friendly but a bit stretched thin, taking some time to bring the check. Still, I enjoyed my meal and will return for another visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" After trying several Italian restaurants in the area, I have to say Pistone's is by far the best for authentic dishes! The spaghetti and meatballs were just like my grandmother used to make – hearty and full of flavor. The service was excellent; our waiter made sure we were well taken care of without being intrusive. My only complaint would be the noise level, which can get a bit high when the place fills up. Overall, a fantastic experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I liked the live music at Pistone’s, which complemented the rustic Italian decor perfectly. My spaghetti puttanesca was full of flavor, though I was slightly disappointed in the portion size. Service was decent but not exceptional. I'd like to explore their menu further next time and hopefully find something more impressive. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a nostalgic experience dining at Pistone's! The ambiance echoed the charm of classic Italian restaurants. However, the meal didn't quite meet our expectations. I ordered the carbonara, which was far from authentic – too creamy and lacking in the rich flavors I associate with the dish. The dessert options were also underwhelming. Although the service was cordial and accommodating, I can't say I was impressed. " (*Curated Review*)

" We've been to Pistone's several times and have always had a good experience! The service is consistent, with friendly staff who remember us. The chicken marsala is a must-try; full of flavor and just a touch of sweetness. The only downside I would mention is that it can get busy, especially on weekends, so I recommend making a reservation ahead of time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Pistone's is quite a charming restaurant and the vibe is very inviting. I had a very productive time here. The menu does have some great classics, which is why I was eager to dine. The caprese salad was tasty, however, my fettuccine alfredo was too heavy for my taste. I think it could have benefited from a lighter touch. Still, I would give them another try for different dishes. " (*Curated Review*)
