Piacere has a bad attitude and you feel it the minute you walk in the door. Hostesses seem not to get that they are not in New York and that most their clientel is overflow from Town accross the street. Bartender seemed irritated when I ordered a drink while waiting for my friend, wait staff just seemed depressed and uninterested.... More

This is not bad. The pasta is always well prepared, service is tempered so you have time to savor and linger. Good wine list. More

A good restaurant with fresh locally sourced food, well cooked and served with fresh vegetables.

As we walked out... More
