Pietro's Italian Cuisine: Riverside's Hidden Gem for Authentic Italian Food

The Antipasto salad and the dressing tasted good, the service was friendly, checking in at the right times. My french dip sandwich was alright while hubby said he enjoyed his meatball sandwich. The garlic cheese bread was worth the extra cost. We will go back to try another main course soon.

Nice hole-in-the-wall restaurant. They have great lunch deals! We love getting the pizza and the Caesar salad is great too- we also got lasagna this tume. The only thing I regret is not knowing about this place earlier. Parking is spacious, and the service is quick and very friendly!

Our family came to Pietros for my Moms birthday in May. They accommodated our large group and the service was customer focused and attentive. We had a large variety of food and enjoyed it all. The appetizers and main dishes are great. Their pizza and pasta have good flavor. Their Philly cheesesteak and turkey sandwiches are another great option to try. Our experience here was delightful we plan on coming back soon. I recommend you try this place for an affordable and great Italian meal.

Their Tortellini Ala Pana is the bomb with their garlic bread. Also try their lasagna with the meat sauce. The pricing is reasonable. I haven't tried their Pizza yet but I end up getting the pastas.

Had the lunch special Manicotti with extra ricotta and man was it good!!! Perfectly cooked and worth every penny.

This is like your grandma's homemade Italian food. Absolutely incredible. My husband loved the manicotti and the gluten free pizza was phenomenal. Probably the best I've ever had in Southern California.

Some of the best pizza you’ll find anywhere. Love the crust, delicious! They also have good calzones, pasta, and excellent large sub sandwiches on the best sub rolls ever, delicious fresh baked loaves. Their Cheesesteak is one of the best you’ll find in the I.E.. Highly recommend this old school Italian joint! A long time institution in Riverside…. The Locals know!

Absolutely loved the Italian food here. The simple salad was still green, clean, nicely topped, and refreshing. Our family which is notorious for disliking garlic bread absolutely loved the one here. Every Italian dish we tried was a hit. First time I've ever seen them enjoy manicotti. The Taste (or was it tour?) of Italy is an excellent place to start, especially if you add on the meat sauce. Everything on the huge plate was delicious and well worth the price. Olive Garden food is nothing compared to Pietro's. Only slight hiccup was the pizza. The crust was very yummy but they load up the pizza with a ton of cheese. Which usually isn't bad except this cheese is particularly salty so it got a bit overwhelming. Still our favorite Italian place!
