Owned and run by authentic Italians. This restaurant is amazing. The location is a bit hidden, but we’ll worth the drive. The lasagna is out of this world. Wood oven fired pizzas. Just amazing. We went again tonight to celebrate a birthday. The staff was so generous and friendly. They even sang happy birthday to our guest. Now fair warning it’s a bit pricey but the quality of the food more than makes up for it all.
Excellent service and food is delicious! Chef's are actually from Italy as well!

Service is still great! Was a bit more crowded, but we did go during a dinner rush. Got the risotto, which was a bit on the heavier side (but still delicious,) but that's on me for not reading the menu properly!
I've eaten here a few times in the last couple months and it is superlative.
The service staff are friendly, helpful and on point. The pasta is prepared perfectly al dente. The sauces are full of flavor. The pasta options are vast. The calzones are delicious. I had lasagna, oh my it is fantastic. The capprese, bruschetta, and the rest of the appetizers, wonderful. We had a wonderful Chianti with the meal. Please excuse the photos, I forgot until half way through.....
We are visiting from Palm Springs, and this is the 2nd time we have dined here. We started with the Caprese salad. The seasoning on the heirloom tomatoes was delicious, great presentation and the burrata cheese fresh and creamy. My wife had the Aribiata with the house made fettuccine, and I had the special risotto with scallops. We had the pizza for an appetizer last time really goid too. We took a tiremisu and the panacota home for dessert. Everything was delicious and definitely good size portions. Paulo the owner was there to greet us and made us feel very welcomed. Definitely recommend this restaurant.
We love Italian food and Piacere is top notch. We ordered pasta vongole and pasta bolognese and it was delicious. Interior design is one point too. Staff were very friendly.
I highly recommend the spaghetti carbonara and cannoli.
The gnocchi was good, but the sauce was a bit acidic. The tiramisu was mostly cream and slightly icy in the middle.
Fantastic Italian food! The authentic flavors of each food really shines through in every dish and is not overpowered by sauce or seasoning. The calamari, ravioli, grouper, risotto, short ribs and pizza were particularly noteworthy! The bread basket was amazing too. Pleasant ambience too with quaint and comfortable outdoor seating. We will be back!
I have been to this twice now. From delicious food to amazing servers as well as warm ambience, everything is great. They have a freshly made handcrafted pasta which are worth savoring. Their spinach ravioli with pesto is to die for! They have an outside seating which is glass covered with heaters on, makes it an amazing ambience to enjoy an evening. I highly recommend this place.
Outstanding meal and wonderful, passionate, welcoming servers. The food was delicious, fresh and you could taste the love. Caprese was maybe the best I’ve ever had, the pizza was superb. Bolognese on the pappardelle was perfection, we asked for garlic and red pepper flakes to be added to be similar to arrabbiata sauce. The super Tuscan wine recommended by our server was lovely and desert with a little decaf was perfection. Can’t wait to come back! I know it’ll be a new go to for my mom who lives here.
Great food and great ambience. Lovely spot for good Italian food. Service could be a bit better seemed a little short staffed (no one checked on our table after receiving the food or asked if we need dessert or check etc). Assuming it's a one off thing and nit the norm so still giving a 5 star ! Really enjoyed the pizzas (can there be more non pork options ?) And the pasta with shrimp sauce was great and quantity was very generous.
