Absolutely amazing. The food was delicious, the service was immaculate! Thank you to Teresa A., for making this night so great! Traveled here all the way from Louisiana for a competition and decided to stop here for dinner. The candied bacon was the highlight of our appetizers, the black truffle sacchetti with lobster was tantalizing, and the tiramisu was to die for. read more

I am sorely surprised that I'm leaving this poor rating for Pignett's. Where do I start?!?!? 1). Bread has always been free; as of 2 weeks ago it now cost $4.00. 2). No joke, it took 30 minutes for the appetizer to come. 3). It took a whopping 48 minutes for the entree to come AND it came to the table cold. Smh! Wow. Wow. WOW! 4). The table next to me FINALLY left due to their extremely slow service. I historically LOVE this place. So... today is like the Twilight Zone. I experienced things today that I've NEVER experienced in all of my dining experiences (at any establishment, let alone here). Note: the manager finally came to the table to apologize. An apology without action is only empty words. Dr. P. Wayne read more

This was our first time to try this place. We're both of Italian heritage and have eaten a lot of good Italian food over the years, so we're a little picky. With that said, I'd give the food a very good 4 stars. We had crab cakes to start, I had veal scallopini, very good, and wife had the black truffle sacchetti, could have been hotter. We had wine and shared a chocolate cake for dessert. The wait service was good but we had a trainee who was trying a bit too hard. The atmosphere was nice but the table at which we were seated was a little cramped with the adjacent tables. The wine list was amazing and they offered several options by the glass. I had a delicious ruby port as my dessert. The prices were reasonable considering everywhere is high these days. The wine was a bit too expensive but I think this is their "thing". I thought the hostess could have been more welcoming, I don't think she said anything more than "this way". Overall I give it a solid 4, small details could have made it a 5. read more

Always a pleasure dining her our last waitress was amazing staff is wonderful food is great

I ordered the shrimp scampi. The pasta was al dented and full of flavor! I had it door dashed and as soon as I get am able to make it to the restaurant, I am sure it would be 5 stars!! Best Birthday Dinner in a long time! read more

My new favorite place! I've been twice now and everything we have ordered was amazing! The fresh baked bread and oil they serve when you sit is dangerously delicious. We had a pizza, "the diablo" definitely recommend trying! Both times we sat on the patio and our severs made our visit very enjoyable! I can't wait to go back! read more

My girlfriend and I came here for lunch on a Tuesday around noon. We were seated fairly quickly and the place was moderately busy. Parking on the street was easy to find. Our waitress brought us bread with some olive oil that was pretty good. It's one of my favorite parts of going to Italian restaurants. I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and I was pretty happy with my dish. My girlfriend only ate about half of her eggplant parm. I don't think she loved it, but we also were not very hungry. I took it home and I thought it tasted pretty decent even after reheating. Our waitress was friendly and relatively attentive. She stopped by several times to check in on us. I thought the place had a nice ambiance. I think this place is a pretty solid option if you're in the mood for a slightly more upscale place in temple. read more

me and my family recently went to go eat there and we found a roach on our table crawling around then a couple weeks later my friend tells me they found a dead roach inside in one of their drinks. I recommend not eating there. It is dirty and very dark and you can't even see what you're eating and they have a roach problem. I'm doing it. and my family also had to pay for a meal, even after having a roach crawl on our table. The waiter. Also meters just moved to a different table. They hardly even apologize. I kind of just laughed about it like it happens all the time. read more

We came to dinner here the other night. It was my first time and my husbands 3rd. It was very good. There were plenty of options for a pescatarian or vegetarian diet. The food was fresh and desserts were good. The wine we chose was amazing. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was their caesar salad dressing as I thought it was oddly sweet. The waitress was attentive and very kind. We look forward to returning and bringing family when they come to visit. read more

I am giving 2 stars for lack of communication. I went today excited about your special of "3 Empanadas AND a bottle of Malbec in prices of $25, $35 and $45" as stated on your email that was sent on 4/17. (Emphasis added) I placed the order by phone and asked for the special mentioned. When I went to pick up my order I realized that they had charged me for the bottle of wine at $25 as well as the order of empanadas at $9.99. I told the very pleasant server that the email had stated the special mentioned above. She went inside to show someone my email and came back stating that it was a mistake. Either the staff was not aware of the special that included wine and empanadas or the email sent was incorrect. The empanadas were delicious, but unfortunately it's not the first unpleasant experience I've had here. Therefore I will not be returning. I have also sent an email to angie@pignettis.com so they may update the email that was sent today. read more

First let me start by saying the food was fantastic, as was the service even during the busier time of the night! Classic wooden tables and chairs with a nice at home ambience mixed with low lighting was really comfortable. I ordered the Beef Arancini appetizer pictured in this review that was absolutely amazing, bursting flavor and enjoyably savory, I ordered the lobster ravioli which came with a healthy serving of both loose lobster and 5 large lobster stuffed raviolis with a delicious sauce. My wife ordered the beef tortellini which was also extremely good. We ordered a 12' peppers pizza that was cooked to perfection, nice, crispy and flavorful. We also ordered bread service and the bread was delicious as well as the provided olive oil and herbs. Lastly, before we left, we ordered the chocolate cake to go which looks extremely good! For everything listed we paid a little over $100 which is honestly not bad for the amount of food we received. read more

Do not order delivery and expect any level of customer service from the manager when the food you ordered was wrong. The manager told the person in the phone that he was busy with dinner and could not come to the phone. Well I ordered dinner for my family and it was wrong. I again asked to speak to the manager because we would like the correct food delivered and he said call the delivery service. The delivery service did not mess up, whom ever prepared the food and whomever should have checked the order didn't. I asked agin to speak to the manager or owner and was told with a laugh, the manager wont come to the phone and the owner is not available. As i was giving my name and number to the girl on the phone, they hung up on me. Horrible customer experience, I typically handle these situations better but to be told you are jot important only the guests that are in front of me are, infuriated me. I had heard many good things about this establishment, that I am really disappointed with the experience. Mushroom fondue: should have been mushrooms filled with contents, we got canned mushrooms pieces with alot of cheese. Bucatini ala Amatraciana: a sampling of pignettis pastas. Angel Hair Pasta with Meatballs, Fettuccine Alfredo and Gnocchi a la Pesto. Not even close to the menu online. read more

This was a great restaurant experience. The food was fresh and delicious with quality ingredients. The serving sizes were also very generous for a great dinner experience. My favorite part of the experience, though, was my service with Sean. He provided so much insight on the menu and options, plus was humorous in a family way. I definitely will be back. read more

Okay, had a second go and wow!!!!!!!!! All I got to say is wow!!! We went on a whim to lunch and man oh man the Pignetti fettuccine makes you want to smack your mom (sorry mom). Their food was divine !! Bread was warm, lighting was right. Server was so sweet and made sure to check on us often. I mean that fettuccine was WOW and I felt like it was taste of heaven. We had a good time. Lunch prices are very reasonable and was very impressed! Be sure and check out this gem in the heart of temple! read more

Everything went well. Servers were the best! Atmosphere was delightful. Food was excellent and served on time.

I've come to Temple many times over the years for business and I have never found another restaurant better than Pignetti's. Their service, food and price are unmatched in Temple! If you are a fan of wine, you can't beat the selection at Pignetti's. Their Sommelier Armando is great and will find you a bottle you are sure to love. This past trip allowed me the chance to visit Pignetti's 9 times over three weeks. I was able to go through much of the menu and wine. My servers were outstanding each and every time, so thank you to Skarleth, Scott, Janet, Keisha, Daniel and Shanna! The Burrata Cheese Ravioli's are hands down the best thing on the menu! read more

Heard the reviews about this place so I decided to give it a shot with my date for Valentines Day weekend. Before coming to the establishment, I had to make a standard reservation. Finding the place wasn't an issue. Once we entered, were greeted immediately. The customer service was excellent. Food and and drinks were excellent. I see myself coming again in the future. read more

Very good. We enjoyed the food and atmosphere very much. Celebrating our friend's birthday. It was delicious. Love the setting. Love the decor. Love the vibe.

Just loved this place. Bon Appetito. read more

We went here for a private event. Staff had been attentive. The dining space was located in an older building; but, was clean and had a nice feel to the place (albeit rather cold due to outside lower temps). My wife and I had their Chicken Parm, with ziti and asparagus. Salad starter and for dessert a choice between a Limoncello type cake or a tiramisu. Loved the salad and dessert. Chicken Parm was just OK (I prefer a little crunch to my Parm-dishes and this one was soggy; but, I liked the marinara - wish there was more of this sauce/gravy tho). Regardless, will go back to try some other entrees and check out their main dining area. read more

Yesterday was the first and unfortunately the last time I will be going to Pignetti's. The food was good, the service was great! I don't mind paying $48 for a steak, or $12 for 1 glass of wine. What I can not accept is paying $3.50 for "bread service"... what is that? Or having them add $3.00 on the bill for a "credit card fee" I hate credit card fees, and would have paid cash to avoid the fee, but it was already added to the bill, so I just smiled paid the bill without bringing it up and left. Unfortunately we will not be returning, their $6.50 is nonsense fees cost them a monthly customer, I hope it was worth it for them read more

Amazing food! This our favorite date night place to go! Excellent wine selection and top notch service!

Our favorite Temple Italian restaurant! Good food, reasonably priced and wonderful Italian atmosphere. The service is always spot on! Sometimes we have to tell them we are taking our time to enjoy our meal and to slow the order. But love the staff there! read more

Came here for Valentine's lunch with my girlfriend. By the time we were done it was about 5 and we got out before the dinner rush. They brought bread and it was tasty, they keep a proprietary olive oil on the table with spices in it. They keep the food menu in a traditional menu book, they keep drinks in an iPad selection. When you first walk into the restaurant you notice many wine bottles. I choose a beer. Prairie Bomb! My girlfriend chose a stuffed mushroom dish as an appetizer. It came with cheese and ribeye Bolognese. My entree was a beef stroganoff dish with braised beef. It was savory and tasty. They came to the table after our entrees with a bowl of parmesan to top the dishes with. I was pretty pleased with this dining experience as well as my girlfriend. read more

Walked in the door and was immediately greeting by friendly, attentive hosts and was promptly seated. Everything on the menu sounded delicious and it was hard to make a decision. However, the lobster ravioli and bucatini were both phenomenal and exceeded expectations. Our server, Shelby, was sweet and speedy. Our food and wine was brought out almost immediately after ordering and Shelby had excellent Porto recommendations. Shelby and the hostess truly helped elevate our experience into something extraordinary. The only thing that dampened our experience was the constant badgering of what seemed to be the manager toward servers. Within our earshot we overheard several strained encounters between management and servers that made us uncomfortable, especially considering that the service we observed was so exemplary. In the future, I hope management is more appreciative of their servers and staff and the excellent services they provide. read more
