Delicious Italian food, I recommend it. I eat pesto pasta with chicken, a big dish. Also, I tried this bread with veggies and mushrooms (sort of pizza) as entre, and the taste is fabulous. Good music.

Really impressed by the food. My wife had the chicken marsala and the chicken was cooked perfectly and the seasoning was so tasteful! The marsala was tasty too. My lasagna was very flavorful. I finished it quickly. The polenta cakes appetizer was good, but I felt it was over priced for 3 small polenta cakes with mushrooms. Tasty though. The outside patio was very nice. The only critique is that the service was lacking. A bit slow and they forgot to bring out my glass of wine (they comped me for that though). All in all, I definitely want to come back.

This is a great place to sit on an early Saturday afternoon. It was a beautiful day, so that helped. The waitress was nice and they had music playing too so the surroundings were pleasant. The olive tapenade is a must try if you like tapenade. The food took a long time to get to us and we were getting a bit antsy but when we got the food, you could tell why, it was homemade, it was delicious. I ordered the lasagna, and it was beyond delicious. The sauce was perfect , and the meat ratio to the pasta was above what you are used to getting. My little guy got the spaghetti and meatballs and enjoyed every bit. My husband got the turkey sandwich, it didn’t come with a side which for a sandwich I find odd but he liked it with the exception of the meat/cheese to bread ratio, said the bread was too much and not very fresh. The vinaigrette helped a little, he said, but it was just okay. We didn’t get refills very often even with our water, which was disappointing, and I drink I ordered, it never made it on the check or to me. All in all, it’s a great place to try if you are looking for a hidden gem.

Straight up Italian goodness is available at Peiranos. We came for lunch and everyone had a great time. I had the lasagne and it was stuffed full of meat and flavor. And to add a nice experience, it’s right across from the mission and a large park.

A beautiful gem at the end of main street. Outside seating is adjacent to the fountain for amazing ambiance. This charming Italian Deli is seated in a historic old buildin that is charming and airy. Enjoy delicious sandwiches, Italian sodas and sides. Sandwich master James and staff create something for everyone. When you are done you can take home fresh deli meats, fresh herbs and many Italian staples to stock your pantry. These type of places are an absolute favorite of mine. Why? because taking the time to slow down like they do in Italy and savor deliciously simple food with good company In a welcoming place is what life is all about. Wine is also served which makes for a lovely late afternoon respite from a fun day fo shopping on main Street.

You’re paying for the atmosphere, not the food here. The food left me saying to myself that was okay…meh. I brought my wife here for the mother’s day special. It was an overpriced sham with bland flavors. You know it’s not a true Italian place when the “stuffed” mascarpone hardly had any mascarpone.
