. This tradition was brought to West Michigan when Pietro's Ristorante opened in Grand Rapids, Michigan in February 1980. Since that day we have served millions of guests and have achieved numerous local and national awards...however our greatest achievement is "giving our guests more than they expect!" Pietro's was the first restaurant to make fresh pasta in West Michigan. We were also the first to create gourmet pizza, and to introduce Chicago-style pizza, Stromboli and bruschetta to our community. Over the years Pietro's has contributed over $100,000 worth of food and money to local charities. This was achieved in part by organized community events such as our annual Run Fasta Eat Pasta 5K and our Thanksgiving Day Dinner for the less fortunate. Pietro and Regina would have been proud. As you break our bread we hope that you will come to feel that "Nostra Casa e' Vostra Casa" (our home is your home). In our restaurant, look around at our authentic decor and you'll find many pictures of Pietro's family, his pots, his pans. Smell the aroma of our pizza, and drink our delightful sunny Mediterranean wines. We look forward to sharing this tradition of cooking - considered the world's healthiest - with you and your family. We welcome you to break bread with us and watch us grow not only in tradition, but in spirit. Buon Appetito! |

The
Pietro's tradition starts with the beliefs and dreams of one man, An Italian immigrant who
left his village of Masserano, Italy in 1906 with generations of family recipes. Pietro
came to America with his wife Regina. He sautéed, baked and cooked his way through
restaurant kitchens in northern New Jersey, never missing a day of work nor compromising
on the quality of his food.
Regina baked bread and
made pasta. Pietro grew grapes, made wine and roasted coffee. They spent a lifetime
delighting friends with time-inspired meals.
