Pignetti’s

We didn’t plan on going to this restaurant but when we passed by it we had to check it out.
The food was WOW OMG! It was SO good. I love the atmosphere. Awesome for a romantic date!
Definitely would go back again!

After arriving without a reservation, i was seated within 5 minutes. There were very few tables available. Waiting in the front area allowed me to look throughout their extensive wine selection.
When i was lead to my table i was greeted to a nicely arranged table. Fresh warm bread, water, and oil was delivered almost immediately.
I chose to order the stuffed shrimp to start. It is a bacon wrapped shrimp with mozzarella cheese and a hint of spice from jalapeño. It was delicious. The bacon was crisp but not burnt. All the flavors came together beautifully.
Next up was a house salad with italian dressing. The salad is pretty typical field green salad. However the dressing does make it, as it seems to be not your run of the mill but perhaps home made.
I ordered the special of the day, ribeye for my entrée.
I do feel compelled to mention my waitress was not attentive enough as i noticed my drink as well as several others were often empty and it would be several minutes without seeing her.
The steak came out drowned in brown gravy, properly cooked but still tough. The green beans were over cooked but still managed to have a great flavor. The roasted potatoes were not worth eating.
I must admit i was disappointed after the appetizer.
For dessert I asked for suggestions and was steered towards to lemonchello cake.
The cake was very moist, lemony but not over powering. I would suggest ordering it if you like lemon. It was one of the better lemon cakes i have had.
The atmosphere is what you expect for a nicer restaurant. Mainly people celebrating occasions and business dinners.
I would come for the appetizers and desserts and wine for sure.
The service could be better and so could the entrée
It is one of the better places in temple, but in a bigger city they would not be able to compete.

My husband and I decided to eat here on a whim and I’m glad we did. We were seated right away and greeted with a variety of wine options. I ordered the Cabernet Franc. At $ 15/​glass it was more on the pricer side, but well worth every penny. The grilled ribeye I ordered was cooked to perfection and melted in my mouth. My husband ordered the veal and by the looks of the plate afterwards he enjoyed his meal as well. For dessert we opted for the most fantastic red velvet cake. It was so good we fought over the last bite, lol. Great food, service and ambiance. We will be back!

Went there last night lobster ravioli was decent NOT worth the price at all (22 bucks). However the crab avocado bruschetta Amazing! As well as the crème brûlée. Saturday night seating was crowded you sit fairly close to other customers and risk getting elbowed by the editors carrying food. Our waitress was super sweet and I will definitely return :)

My husband and I celebrated the anniversary of our first date here. We never get to go out on our own to a nice dinner. We have three kids so when we go out we take them with us. This time we decided to go have a nice romantic night out just us two. We went on Christmas Eve 40 mins before closing. My husband ordered the black drum and I had the Chicken Parmesan. The manager brought us an amazing bottle of 2011 Swanson vineyard merlot (omg yum) and we enjoyed having some alone time. Our anniversary was perfect. We took some dessert to go and settled on making that our place to go for date night once a month. We don’t usually go out cause I love to cook but I think this is just the place to take a break from cooking and allow my self to be spoiled.

The atmosphere was very intimate. My husband and I got to enjoy a quiet, peaceful dinner.
The food was amazing. We have been to a lot of restaurants in this areas, and this is the best so far. They were a little pricey, but it was 100% worth it. It was so unique (in a good way).
My husband would like to add that it was the best pork chop he has ever had.

We had a large group and this was our first time to dine here. Great red wine, beer, and entrée suggestions by our server, Armando. Bravo! Of course, as my luck runs, I ordered an appetizer no longer being served, but was still listed on the menu. Our table’s top entrees were the orange roughy, cioppino, and eggplant rollatini. The veal was rated at the bottom as it was tough to chew. Our desserts were very good, especially the crème brûlée…yummy! I was not impressed with their version of truffles. The service was spot on and thankfully so, because management added 20% gratuity to the check.
