Well it had been a while since we ate here, and it was still as awesome as the first time, they are known for their pizzas, but we opted for a nice dinner style meal. They are also popular for their dinner rolls. The server Samantha was awesome we didn't have ask for refills at all. The food came out hot ,fresh, and tasted amazing!! One of my top 5 for good Italian food here in Gainesville. They have several locations in town but this was one of the original spots, now they are also in several other cities in North Central Florida.

Liz & Dawson took great care of me and my best Joshua! Thank you for the excellent Hendricks Martini and the handcrafted and suggested Tito’s drink, self made from my own portfolio… that hit the spot ,Because they have everything behind their bar... except ginger liquor so we had to adapt. Just the same! At the end of my long work week… this in my spot .. and make no mistakes… you can find a Piesanos accessibly located around this Central Florida area … with that Family style that blurs the the line between fine dining and casual dining experience. They have an array of wines, liquors, and experienced bartenders who meet the expectations of the customers desires.
Best pizza! Really great crust and love the generous toppings. Our favorite is pepperoni, meatballs and mushrooms. My mom and dad loved the veggie pizza when they were in town. I also love the pasta and salads. Basically love everything I have tried. Glad they are close to my house.
Always good service and good food! A great spot for a quick lunch! They have great lunch specials. The dressed rolls to start are amazing. Great salads and the best ranch. The pizza is delicious too.
Dawson and Liz were awesome, some of the best drinks I have had in a while. I love the atmosphere, very family and casual friendly. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice place to take the family or just come for a nightcap.
First time trying this nice little restaurant...but it won't be our last! The food was delicious & HOT! The rolls are unbelievably good! But the VERY BEST part of our visit was our server, GARY!!! He was awesome...so friendly & just outstanding service! My husband mentioned I just finished my last chemo infusion, so Gary not only congratulated me but brought me a complimentary cannolli to celebrate! He is an asset to Piesanos! Thanks, Gary...for an exceptional experience!
One of the best and most dependable restaurants in town. The food is very good and they do a great job of following special requests/instructions. Staff is always friendly and inviting.
My husband and I love Piesanos! We usually go a couple times a month. The rolls are my favorite! They are soaked in a balsamic type dressing, so keep that in mind if you do/don't like balsamic. Pizza is also very good! We have ordered several of the pasta dishes- all have been good. My favorite is the Rigatoni Alla Vodka. I've heard several times from others that the Eggplant Parm is also delicious. To top it off, the chocolate fudge cake with the cookie dough and marshmallow icing is literally my favorite cake ever. Service is always great and it's a nice place to watch UF football games as they have several TVs at the bar and around the restaurant. Highly recommend this place!
I always go to get their pizza. It's always hot and nom. 😀
Only gripe I have is...management needs to watch the student employees more closely to make sure that they're not trying to close early while customers are still present. Open til 10 means open til 10 not before. If a customer walks in the door at 9:55, well...yah I know. But you have to serve them. That's just the way it goes. I've worked a number of restaurants in my life and at every one we'd get reprimanded if we tried to stack chairs or close sections before then, and NEVER near customers. Only in closed sections far away. This happens quite a bit at Hunters Crossing. I've myself arrived more than an hour before closing and by 9:30 they're stacking tables loudly right next to me and I'm wondering if I should be sheltering my food from any particulates possibly made airborne by the rapid way they're flipping those chair legs. Not to mention the guilty feeling this puts upon you making you wonder if they're mad at you because you haven't finished by 9:30 and made your way out the door so that they can leave and get that all so important party or something. You get this "cats away the mice will play" kind of feeling whenever it happens - like management isn't present the day that they're trying that. Kids want to be treated like adults but they like to take shortcuts in responsibility which means that we adults have to still watch over their shoulders anyway. Management should check security cams from home near closing time to catch this. (A lot of restaurants should do this in fact. It's not isolated to just Piesanos. Students pull this sort of thing everywhere they work.) Teach student workers that the SOP manual always comes first, not them. If they can't handle that...there's the door.
I ordered takeout and their pizza is the best. Excellent staff team. The cashier offered a free refill drink as well. I definitely need to come back again.
