Please do yourself a favor and go to Pietrasanta for a delicious Italian meal in New York.

Please try the Gnocchi it was supple, soft and melted in my mouth! (And this is the first time I have eaten gnocchi that rivaled my mother's italian recipe for homemade gnocchi!)

I travel often to new york and always make a point to stop in to pietrasanta, the food is amazing and the service is just fantastic. I was frankly shocked to see the poor reviews on this page, this restaurant and its staff have been nothing but good to me over the years. i usually order the veal with portobello mushrooms and it is always high quality. i definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone travelling in manhattan for good prices and delicious food!

On Sat, Oct 18 we made a 5:30PM reservation for 4 at Pietrasanta. This was our first time at this restaurant. The prix fixe was very enjoyable and the waitress pleasant. We finished our dessert, paid our bill and were having our coffee. The hostess came to our table and asked us to leave. She said people were waiting in the lobby who are preordered their food; it was done and waiting to be served to them and they needed the table. I have never been asked to leave a restaurant and voiced my opinion. It was totally unacceptable but they would not address the situation - just glad we left. The waitress apologized but I was furious and felt singled out for no good reason. We were not the only patrons in the restaurant and I will never return to this place again. I am a frequent theater patron with many friends who come into the city often and will spread the word about this treatment to customers.

We hadn't been to Pietrasanta for perhaps 5 years and were really looking forward to our recent dinner there. All I can say is that it MUST be under new management. The menu is uninspired, the food mediocre and the decor is rather down at the heels now. They used to have interesting pasta dishes on their menu, but no more. When we approached the front door I knew we were at the correct address, but though that certainly the real pietrasanta had moved... unfortunately no. It now looks like any other cut-rate tacky theatre district place. The dull food was edible, but only that. The drinks are weak and they hardly have any Italian wines on their wine list. The waitstaff is amiable but clueless. Sad. This used to be a special and romantic spot. Twice when we were there years before, couples were getting engaged at this restaurant. I can't imagine any guy popping the question in this place now....

We came to Pietrasanta because of a discount certificate, but we will go again because of the excellent food, The mixed greens salid with pecans, beets, pesto and goat cheese was a master piece, Somehow, the homemade pastas were even better. My wife and I have traveled the world, and many times you are treated differently, or the amount or quality of the food is short changed when you use a discount. Not so here, This is a real New York Treasure and well worth the little extra effort needed to get there, and the prices are very reasonable even without a discount,
