Salad, sushi, pork empanadas, chicken quesadillas, fried artichoke hearts, pasta, cheese pizza, spicy fried shrimp, grilled salmon w/ grits. Then they came back and asked if we wanted more. Wow and for just $10 this is a deal you can't pass up. Now you will have to pay for valet parking or hike but I think it is well worth it. I have heard and seen that weekends are also a great time to come and after 10p the upstairs becomes a club overlooking midtown and Peachtree.
by Kathern Volpicelli on Having not been in the mood for Italian in a while, and usually opting for an intimate BYO when the mood does strike, it has been a long time since I've been to Pietro's. However, the stars aligned today when we wanted a biiiig salad while walking around Rittenhouse. I remembered the super sized, almost comical portions, as well as the delicious rolls they offer while you peruse the menu, so we popped in for a nosh. Well the portions were as remembered - too much for one sitting. I got the (Sicilian?) salad with mozzarella, roasted peppers, capers and anchovies - and it was as delicious as the stench of my breath unbearable afterwards. She got a much tamer salad with gorgonzola, croutons and a healthy dose of salad envy. We brought home leftovers, but only one was actually eaten. Unfortunately, those delicious, doughy, crusty herbed rolls that I remembered are now gone. In their place we were served some run of the mill dinner rolls that paled in comparison. It's too bad, they were worth an extra two stars all by themselves.
