    Great food & atmosphere! The price was reasonable too. We had a lovely night out to celebrate the end of the year & the beginning of a new one.

    Food was great. 1 star for absurd credit card surcharge and forced gratuity on every bill.

    I came in for dinner when I was in town visiting my daughter who lives in Waco and we had a wonderful night! The dining room is very pretty, I love the string lights and just the general atmosphere, very welcoming and warm.From the moment we walked in, everyone was so friendly! Our server Emma was amazing, since I'd never been here she recommended some of her favorites - we tried the meatballs and the arancini to start and both were great. For dinner we went with the Salmon Primavera and the Chicken Piccatta, although I was eyeing the Ribeye Lasagna which also got good reviews!Everything came out to the table quickly and the service was friendly and attentive.On Emma's recommendation, "You have to try it Victoria's Way, though!", we also got the Italian Espresso Martini with peanut butter whiskey, and a Lavender Haze. I'm a little sad that we didn't save room for the panna cotta, but I guess that means we'll have to come back next time I'm in town.

    Had the pleasure of eating at Pignetti’s for lunch today with my beautiful wife and In-laws! We got “The Italian” pizza, we had them throw some arugula and balsamic vinegar on the top it was hit just right. I really wish they would bring back “Tuscan Truffle” because the last time we went we combined “Tuscan Truffle and The Italian” THAT WAS AMAZING! 🤤

    So we went to Pignetti’s last night for the second time, and our experience was again AMAZING! We had a reservation that we were running late for so I called the restaurant and they were more than accommodating. Every person that works there is always kind, courteous and attentive. The atmosphere and ambience is gorgeous and very romantic. My husband and I have tried new dishes each time we have gone and were obsessed with everything that has been brought out to us. I don’t think they have one bad item on that menu. 10/10, I already have recommended to all of my friends here in Waco. We will be returning customers always!

    Atmosphere:Upon entering the restaurant, the greenery was really welcoming and didn't conflict with the restaurant's logo. It looks like it shares property with another establishment, but the moment you turn into the restaurant area, you are immediately drawn into a great view with all the draping lights. The lights are a great aesthetic and immediately draws you in, if not the bar area with its chandelier type light fixtures. Surrounding the bar are alot of high tables with other seating arrangements, the art and decorations are captivating and definitely a sight to see.Service:Service was great and immediately upon entering, we were greeted and notified if we had a reservation or not. Since I didn't reserve a spot and establishment was full we were given an opportunity to select from the bar or high tables. High tables are great touch but can't get cramped if more that 2 people. Highly recommend reserving a spot for a better spot and view of the restaurant. Gabby (our server) was beyond amazing, was always there before we could ask anything and when she was there, she offered assistance with anything that we had questions with. She was also great in communicating with us just seeing how our dining experience was.Quality:After looking over the menu, a friend local to the area recommended the Ribeye Lasagna and was told I wouldn't be disappointed. She was not wrong at all, the dish had a great amount of flavor and portions was more than enough (food was almost past the brim of the dish). The sauce was ample enough for the dish but did not take away from all the other components of the dish.Fili's Fave:If you are second guessing the Ribeye Lasagna, do your self a favor and just order the dish, you will not be disappointed. I look forward to trying more of the their dishes and for sure will be sure to reserve a table prior.

    Great experience, be sure to reserve or be prepared to sit at the bar or high tables for great meal. I forgot to set a reservation but the staff was so nice and accommodating they made room at a bar table for us and treated us tremendously. Food is awesome here, our waitresses Gaby’s were phenomenal and provided an experience that we will never forget! Will come back.
