" 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*)

" I was really looking forward to my visit after hearing great things but ended up disappointed. The decor is nice, but the pasta tasted overcooked and the sauce was bland. Service was okay, but not enough to rescue the meal. I would have preferred more attention to detail when it comes to the food. I’m not sure if I would go back. " (*Curated Review*)

" The first impression of Pistone's was much more charming than expected! The decor and atmosphere made me feel like I was in a vintage Italian restaurant. Although the waitstaff was pleasant, they seemed a bit overwhelmed. The gnocchi was quite light but unfortunately tasted more like frozen than freshly made. I would suggest sticking to better-reviewed dishes like the ravioli next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Pistone's offers a lovely dining experience filled with Italian tradition. The pasta primavera was fresh and tasted homemade—definitely a highlight! The atmosphere felt warm and inviting, and the live music added a special touch. Service was attentive, though we had a slight delay with dessert. I appreciated how they source local ingredients, which enhances the overall taste. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a nice night out! " (*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*)

" Hats off to the chef at Pistone's! The flavors were authentic and each dish was delightful. The calamari was tender and nicely spiced. The spaghetti with garlic shrimp was a standout that I will definitely order again. The atmosphere kept things lively without being overwhelming. I felt well treated by staff who showed great care throughout our meal. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a genuine Italian experience. " (*Curated Review*)
