Was greeted by the hostess she sat us. We got our drinks we heard about the special which was a chicken Cordon Bleu. The soup of the day was a seafood bisque, which it was very good. I had the salmon skewers with the soup. It was very filling and very satisfying, reasonably pricedexcellent service. read more

Nice place for a decent meal in Middletown. Food was tasty. Was a little pricey. Would definitely go back. Service is great.

First time to this restaurant tonight. Have heard so many good things and thought we should give it a try. Oh my goodness what a wonderful experience. The staff is friendly and attentive. The food is fresh and wonderfully delicious. The pricing is reasonable for the wonderful quality. Will definitely be our go to place in the future! read more

Met a friend for Sunday brunch. My first time. Ambiance and decor were very nice. Our waitress was very sweet and efficient. I ordered the Cretan Salad and added the grilled shrimp to it. Well, I was quite disappointed that the salad was basically 2-3 tomatoes, some capers, with shredded cheese on top. They included three shrimp to it. Now, don't get me wrong it was quite tasty and presentation was great, but when I think of how much I paid for it, I truly feel that I was ripped off. Oh, and I ordered a cup of tea, and the only tea available was Lipton which cost me $4. Seriously? The worst tea one can have! So my "salad" and cup of tea with tip cost me $47.00. In the middle of nowhere Delaware! I just had lunch near Newport, Rhode Island in a cute Indian cafe, we were three; two ordered salmon dishes, and one, shrimp tacos (two shrimp in each taco) with a drink, the total bill with tip was $51.84. I doubt very much that I will bother to go back to Pithari, ambiance, decor and presentation just doesn't cut it when you are extremely overpriced! read more

Awesome atmosphere and food!! Server was very friendly and I had the Romesco Burger and it was VERY good along with the potatoes they serve! I will be back and recommend others to it as well!!!! read more

The ambiance of the place is great! We had the Burrata, Hummus, Tabbouleh and Truffle pasta. Everything tasted good. Service is good as well. read more

We tried this out for my wife's birthday. The service was very attentive even recognizing my wife's allergies. Our son and I loved the Moroccan shrimp along with the mussels, the blue fig flatbread and chicken Santorini. I recommend sitting upstairs as it's quiet with appealing ambience. We can't wait to come back to try more tasty options! read more

When I pulled up to the restaurant it looks like an old bank building, but once inside the restaurant was pure character and elegance. The menu was awesome, it had some fabulous dishes. My family and I (all 8 of us lol) we ate the Moroccan shrimp, the meatballs and the hummus for appetizers again excellent. I ate the Lamb shank and my adult kids even ate it until there was only a bone left lol. The thing that really sold me on this place was the chef/owner came out and spoke to everyone dinning that night. He was very personable, and very honest. We were celebrating our daughter's birthdays and he just hung out with us for like 15 minutes talking to all of us. The wait staff are truly professionals and were there for us without us having to look for them. Our server was Maria very friendly and funny. We enjoyed the evening very much and will definitely return. I also hear they have a very nice happy hour, I will have to experience that for myself soon. I hope this helps any prospective diners. read more

From ambiance to service to the food, this restaurant checks all the boxes. The food was phenomenal and the playing was done with care and attention. We had the Greek salad with chicken, which was delicious. While we didn't love the wheat barley base, we ate around it, which was delicious. The fig flat bread had layers of flavor and texture, and the tiramisu was absolute perfection. I can't recommend this restaurant enough. read more

Food is good went for brunch would give it a try again for dinner. Drinks was okay and customer service would be better. The place is very pretty and great location read more

This place is awesome. The food is amazing, the service impeccable, and the ambiance is great. We celebrated our anniversary and this place is special. I definitely would recommend this restaurant for any occasion. read more

Nice special occasion restaurant. many good choices on the menu. Nice ambiance and attentive but not intrusive service

The space is magnificent!!! It's a great first impression. Everyone who works there engages and welcomes you. They make you feel like you have arrived and are happy that you are there. The food blew us away. Elegant appetizers that taste like you are in Italy or Greece. Mussels in white wine sauce, fried calamari, whipped ricotta and eggplant, beet salad - all amazing! Main courses were even better. Shrimp with risotto in a saffron broth, linguini with scallops, shrimp and mussels in a light tomato sauté, truffled baratta pasta, and a killer steak burger!!! The creme brûlée cheese cake with espresso and cappuccino topped off our celebration. Go to Pithari today, tomorrow, every day. It is incredible!!! read more

I went for lunch this past week with two colleagues. Two of us ordered the chicken skewer lunch special (it is listed as chicken skewer under Lunch Special on the menu), and the lunch special for salmon skewers. Our waiter came over and said "confirming that you want the chicken skewers and salmon skewers? And we said yes. The lunch special comes with tapas (crostini) and salad. Our food arrived without the tapas and salad. Our bill came and we had been charged entree prices ($44 total for the chicken and $28 for the salmon) for the food. It feels as though it should be common sense for the waitstaff to presume that if someone is dining there for lunch, they are ordering the lunch special. After some discussion the price was altered on our bill (but not for the salmon), but we never received the salad or tapas. We also stated "lunch special" when ordering. Why would a diner order a dinner entree at lunch time to receive less food?? Was the waiter deliberately doing this to get a bigger tip??! The food has been good on previous visits, but I am disappointed, Pithari. Beware of this lack of clarification and a huge jump to your bill if you are attempting to dine here for lunch. read more

On 9-28 25. My wife and I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. When we arrived, the host told us it was impossible to get a table, but just moments later, we watched them seat someone else without hesitation. We felt dismissed and treated differently, which ruined what was supposed to be a nice night out. No customer should ever feel that way when dining out. I do not want to bring the race thing, but employees need training on how to treat customers equally read more

My kids burgers were burnt, and the shrimp risotto was disgusting. The food took very long to be served, overall the place was nice but the service was horrible. read more

I have never left a review before, but after eating here, I knew I had to. We went to Pithari for my birthday dinner and it was amazing from start to finish! For our apps, we got the Brussels and chicken skewer. Both were absolutely delicious. For dinner, we got the salmon and the burgundy beef. Again, delicious! Then, to finish it off, we ordered tiramisu and creme brûlée cheesecake for dessert. Can I just say- what a finale to a spectacular meal! Not only was the food great, but so was the presentation, the service, and the ambiance. No complaints! I will absolutely be back!!! read more

We got food to-go on Saturday, we got the hummus and burrata appetizer both very good. We also ordered the Santorini chicken and chicken kabobs. The Santorini chicken was very good however the chicken kabobs were not cooked all the way and I unfortunately got sick afterwards. Please check the kabobs before eating them we had two orders of them and both undercooked. read more

On my first visit to the restaurant for lunch, I was impressed with the decor, especially with the holiday decorations. We were seated and had attention from our waitress. I really liked the fact that menu items had the choice of soup of the day or salad to accompany the sandwiches. I had the pasta and meatball dish which was plentiful and very good. I chose the soup. I wish that had been served first. Instead it came with my meal. Hard to decide which to eat first. Please ask your wait staff to serve soup prior to the meal. We will definitely return to taste the other items on the menu. read more

This may be the best restaurant in town. An incredible experience. They're making things in house and not taking any shortcuts. Every bite of every dish I've had has been my new favorite. They specialize in Mediterranean but there's plenty of French, Italian and traditional American dishes. Come hungry and leave satisfied. The property is amazing and the staircase up front is a stunning centerpiece of the restaurant. Sit upstairs and bring your appetite. read more

Food was delicious and the service was great. Warning, the stairs are beautiful and easy going up...

Very good food. Great service. Reasonable price. Highly recommend. Nice variety menu. Nice decorations for the holidays

Pithari is pi-thetic. I wouldn't go here again. Pro's: our server was pleasant and the tiramisu was serviceable. Also, I liked the flavor of the seafood linguine, but it was overall too salty, which kicks off a long list of Con's: Too much salt in mashed potatoes that came with the lamb shank. And the eggplant ricotta appetizer was just bad: so a ricotta mousse, fine, but overtop of a mushy "eggplant salad", served with way too few crostini for the portion size. Also, some liquid-y green on the bottom of the plate, which I think may have supposed to have been a pesto something, but I wouldn't know because there was no way to get it on my crostini. Who invented this dish? Double yuck. The shrimp in the linguine was overcooked. And goodness, I tried to switch to soda after my first cocktail since I was driving, but I ended up just with water because the soda was dead flat, undrinkable, seriously? Also, if this is supposed to be upscale dining, don't seat us next to a service hallway. The menu wasn't long, usually a good indicator, but they couldn't even get the few dishes right. read more

Treat customers better Pithari! I Went to the restaurant with my spouse on a week night and it was not busy. We were served our appetizer only. Our meal never came out! We waited for about an hour. Our server never came back to check on us or update us about the wait. The kicker- the table next to us came in well after us and was SERVED... and we sat with No food as the staff walked back and forth ignoring us. Never again, terrible experience there. One star is too many. read more

Pithari is not readily handicapped accessible. Parking is in the back of the building and the only entrance all the way around the building in the front on Main St. read more

My husband and I have been waiting for this place to open so tonight we gave it a try. We were impressed! The inside is beautiful and includes a second floor with additional tables. There were cool wooden shapes hanging from the ceiling. Our dinner started with a complimentary shot glass of tomato juice with olive oil, sourdough crouton and herbs. It was light and refreshing. We started with a Mediterranean Shrimp appetizer, which was four large lightly fried shrimp with three sauces and microgreens artfully arranged on the plate. These were very good, and had a hint of spiciness which the server warned us about, but we both thought was a good heat level. Our server (I forget her name!) was attentive and sweet. I had the branzino for my entree, my husband had the chicken skewer. We were 100% happy with both meals. My fish was one of the best I've had in years - perfectly cooked, moist and tender with a crisp skin, no bones and a large portion. It was accompanied by lovely tender-crisp vegetables; thin carrot and yellow squash slices, baby Brussels sprouts, small potatoes, olives, roasted red pepper, and asparagus (the stalks had been peeled, so thoughtful!). My husband's chicken dish included hummus, tzatziki, potatoes, and grilled pita. Both plates were like works of art, with the food presented in a beautiful arrangement. I don't know if the kitchen always has time to serve food this beautiful, we were there at 4 PM and it wasn't too busy. We were both comfortably full with the portions we had, and saw several other things on the menu we wanted to try, so we'll be back! The only thing I would change was that they were playing Christmas music that was a bit too loud. All the workers at the host stand and those clearing the used plates did their jobs very professionally. Entrees are reasonably priced between $20 and $36. More plant-based options would be a bonus! read more

Amazing!!! I got the Branzino fish platter and my husband got the Burgundy Beef and both were cooked to perfection:) Great service, food and affordable. I would highly recommend this place but book early. read more

Absolutely amazing meal. Great staff. Only thing was coffee was weak. Can't wait to go back!!

Had the pleasure to eat here and I was very impressed. The food presentation was excellent and the taste was even better. The wait staff was very friendly and was there for any needs. Atmosphere was comfortable with a touch of romance. If you are looking a non chain restaurant with great food this is the place to go. read more

The ambience was good and the service was good. The food was ok at best. We got the calamari as an appetizer it was very chewy (we get calamari often). We asked to swap it out to the whipped ricotta appetizer and the manager graciously swapped it for us. We tried that and honestly it wasn't good, there were strange textures with the eggplant salad and the green sauce was bitter, we ate about half and couldn't do it any more. She got the margarita flat bread and I got the house special of a lamb shank over mashed potatoes. It wasn't bad but it wasn't anything special and for $44 I would hope the lamb would be on point. We also tried the raspberry "cake" which wasn't very good it was more of a macaron flavor and consistency. All in all we got 3 drinks. Two mezcal margaritas which were good and the cosmopolitan from TikTok which was ok at best. All In the bill was $133 which wouldn't be a big deal if the food reflected it, the food lacked complex flavor and left much to be desired. I wouldn't recommend and we won't be coming back. read more
