Piero's Pasta House

First time at Piero’s. I don’t normally eat pasta but have been craving GOOD pasta and they did not disappoint! Service was excellent, kitchen was fast. Salad was fresh, meals were on point! I even indulged in tiramisu for dessert and I’m not sad that I ate every bite of my dinner AND dessert! I plan on going back soon, and many times before they close for the season in October!

Everything was amazing from food to service! I got the penne alla vodka the portions are great! They are literally making your entree right in front of you as they have an open kitchen concept and a small intimate dinning room..which was really cool! Appetizers were out within not even 5 minute! Do yourself a favor get the meatballs! Some of the best I’ve ever had! Over all 10/10 we will definitely be back!

This is hands-down, the best Italian food that we’ve ever had. Everything was in fact made from scratch. The service was wonderful. We wish we lived closer so we could frequent the establish more often. We especially love the negative people who write nasty reviews that are false because the owner provides Exceptional responses putting them in their place. Everyone of them gave us a great laugh. We wish we could give this place 10 stars.

We had a small group and were the only ones in the restaurant, when people or groups of came in after us, one of the chefs basically threw a tantrum that they had to serve more people, its a small place with an open kitchen so you can see and hear everything. She obviously didn't want to be there and the quality of the food matched her attitude. The food was gross and borderline inedible. They used what tasted and felt like canned chicken for the Alfredo. Go somewhere else!

Went during Thunder On the Strip, the location is small, so the wait was long (45 minutes), I will say it was absolutely worth the wait. They only sell bottled water (Dasani) and if you want bread there's an additional charge, but the food was amazing. For two people with no alcohol (just water and meals) the bill was $90 before tip, however, if you are someone willing to pay for phenomenal food this is the place!

Looked forward to eating there for a couple days after looking at the reviews. Although, it ended up being disappointing to me . I got the mushroom ravioli and it came with a side salad. The salad was definitely nothing special. It consisted of lettuce, a little bit of grated cheese and one cherry tomato. The ravioli was good, along with the sauce. Except there were only five raviolis! That was fine for me, but I couldn’t imagine if a bigger eater or a man, had ordered that! As far as the meal, what I cannot get over is, there was no bread of any kind that came with it. I am 62 and have never been to an Italian restaurant that didn’t serve bread with the meal! There was one waitress, waiting on everyone in the restaurant and busing tables. She did a decent job for as much as she had to do. My meal was $27.43, which was way too much for what it was!

November 1, 2025 my family and I ate here for the seventh time this season. The food was phenomenal. The staff was great and friendly. I highly recommend if you haven’t tried this restaurant try it you will be hooked guaranteed!!!!!

Some really great Italian food..service was great.right on the main road.so location was great

When you walk in it is like friends, everyone looks at you because the seating area is so small. But don't let that stop you from staying. You can watch the chef fix your fresh pasta dish and have some good wine while you wait. We both had a delicious meal here. Don't forget to order the bread, yummy! Giving a 4 rating only because wait staff was not friendly

The service was excellent!! This restaurant is a hidden gem!!! Everyone should go! This place is small so you need to arrive when they open.

First and foremost, the pasta is NOT homemade......at least the spaghetti and fettuccini are not, they come from a box...the other pastas on the menu, I did not try so I do not know. Considering the size of the place I find it hard to believe that they have the capabilities nor the room to make any homemade pasta there, unless it made offsite. Second - no bread or water is complimentary, you read that right, you have to pay for water and bread if you would like it with you meal. No drinks are complimentary. When we said we would split a water the waitress gave us a very nasty look. A very small glass (maybe 3 ounce) of local Geneva wine was $10. Third - the prices are exorbitant. $28 for chicken parmesan.$20 for fettuccini (if you want chicken chunks of chicken, not a whole breast)) with it it is another $9.) Spaghetti is $18, but if you want 2 meatballs it is another $8, that is correct $4 for one meatball and you cannot order one, you MUST buy 2. dinners do, however, come with a small salad. Fourth - cleanliness is not a priority here. Not the cleanest tables nor floor, and do NOT go to the restroom and see what is behind the curtain....oh my god! one restroom, with 2 stalls....one stall labeled for men, and one stall labeled for women....you read that correctly also...one room, 2 toilets.......my my my. The place is extremely over-crowded, the couple next to us were less than 3 feet away. Finally - the food was good, but not THAT good: for 2 meals with one water and one glass of wine + tip it was $77.....needless to say we will never go back, much cleaner and better places to eat in GOTL for a lot less money that are just as good, if nor better.....and, i do not know how it is legal, they add a 3.5 % surcharge to your bill for eating in the place and not getting your food to go.

We were seated as we walked in. The service was very quick. However some things I noticed, there's a sign stating parties of 5 or more can only do one check which I thought was very strange. There's also a 3.5% dine in fee which I found weird. We got our food fairly quick which was hot and pretty good to say the least. The ambiance used to look so much more appealing and had character, but now it's just pretty boring. Total was around $140 (on one check ofc) so not awfully priced but just the food was quite pricey (some of it at least) Overall it was fine those rules just struck me strange. Would potentially go back?

Not good and overpriced. They even charged us for the sauce alfredo in the pasta without telling us! 1 star more because the waitress was nice

We've been coming to GOTL since forever and this was the first time we tried Piero's. We had a party of 9 over Memorial Day weekend and they were able to accommodate us with two tables. We loved watching the chef prepare our meals. Everything was delicious and we will definitely be back soon!

We've passed this place year after year without going in, and boy were we missing out! It's not big by any means, but very cozy. The kitchen is out in the open and it"s neat to see all the hard work they put into their dishes. I ordered the cheese ravioli and the sauce was the best sauce I've ever had in my life. I was sopping it up with the last piece of bread we got. The ravioli was also cooked to perfection- not too hard or soft. The house salad was really fresh and the vinagarette dressing was tasty as well. Took a piece of the lemon cake to go, and it was also extremely delicious. My husband got chicken parm, and shrimp cocktail, nd he loved both. The portion was huge! All of the portions were huge and you definitely get a great sized meal for the price (the pasta meals come with salads, by the way!) It was super busy and more and more people were lined up for tables, so hopefully we can come by one More time on our trip if it's not too busy! I can see why people wait to eat, because it's 100% worth it! This is now a staple on our Geneva trips for sure.

They charge for bottled water, won't give you a glass. Pasta with broccoli was just ok. I like fresh garlic not bottled garlic. Too many other choices that are good to return.

I am not apt to write reviews, but I hope to save someone else a disappointing experience My daughter and I'd spent the day in Cleveland and were looking to check out the lake and find a quiet place to eat before driving back. The service was fine, but the food was poor. We had 2 different pasta dishes, neither was fresh or flavorful. The creamy pesto dish was more cream than pesto and too thin. My garlic evo pasta tasted poorly and contained jarred garlic, not fresh. The food was just too poor for the price of the meal.

Haven't been there in years, but the place has been updated and the menu is much better! Food was really good... service too! Definitely will return.

Amazing food and great atmosphere! Loved seeing the upgrades, especially the air conditioning, dinnerware and willingness to accept credit cards. The food was excellent and staff was exceptional. I don't have a picture but the mussels were also delicious, if it was acceptable to drink out of the bowl, I would have.

Must go place. Joe the owner and staff are awesome. The food is awesome. I can't remember the name of the dish. But it was a sausage with Alfredo it's amazing. Must go.

Fantastic food, wonderful service! We had the penne alla vodka sauce with sausage and the mushroom ravioli. Delish! Thank you Joe! Looking forward to my next visit back home!

Some of the best Italian cuisine around. Fresh and authentic, all love goes into the food, And you will taste it! Last time I visited, food was being served on plastic plates and the tables are seated quite close together. No issues. It's amazing. The chicken Alfredo is creamy and fresh, the sauce consistency is perfect. Spaghetti and meatballs is cooked to perfection with a marinara on the sweeter side. I've tried to order chiken parmesan 3 times, but it's been sold out everytime. From what I've heard, it's the best chicken parmesan. Absolutely love this place and wish it was open year round. Definitely give it a try. They stop sitting customers 15 mins before closing time, so keep that in mind, if you're driving in from a distance, call for a reservation.

Great service despite being absolutely slammed and the food was AWESOME! Super tiny and had to wait over an hour to get in, but well worth it! My wife had the Alla Pierro and it was absolutely amazing! And the desserts...Creme Brulee and Lemon Truffle...oh my.

I'm shocked at the high reviews this place gets. From the fishy smell as you walk in the door, to the tables so close you can hear everyone else's conversations to the decent but not decadent food, we weren't so impressed.

Surprisingly good. Very small inside but intimate. We had Lobster ravioli, sausage and pasta in vodka sauce, and chicken Parmesan. All very good and reasonably priced

I've had spaghetti out of the can that was 10Xs better! id rather go anywhere else even if it cost more

They were packed on Sunday night but they were awesome and the service was great. It's fun watching the staff interact with each other and the food is phenomenal.

This food is AMAZING! We placed an order to-go. It was ready in about 15 minutes. The food is cooked right out in the open. I like that. You never really know what is happening behind closed doors. We will be returning on our next visit! This place is the bomb. BTW: There are comments on the web that they are cash only. That is no longer true.

Slap yo momma hood food. Personable. No microwaves fresh and delicious. But don't slap your momma. Come here for the chicken parmigiana

Went to Geneva on the lake today and had dinner at Piero's, this place was fucking fantastic, Mary and I had spinach and cheese ravioli in the red sauce with basil. I love how Joe cooks all the meals in front of you and he is so personable. This is our new weekend dinner place. IF YOU WANT AUTHENTIC ITALIAN FOOD and a fantastic dinner this is where you want to be. Joe will see us every week.

With all the hype about this place on yelp maybe I went into this with too high of expectations. I was truly disappointed with my experience here. Walking in, this space is tiny. The kitchen is open and to your left. The menu is above the cook. You can choose from a few different types of pastas, a few proteins, and a few sauces. With pasta in the name I'd expect fresh pasta. Hell, even reading other reviews they speak of fresh pasta. Well I asked, and I was told they simply don't have the time to make their pasta fresh so it's sourced. I should have walked then and there. Alas, based on previous reviews I decided to stay and give it a shot. We sat in the far corner, next to a fan, hoping to not sweat to death. That didn't happen. It had to of been over 90* inside. I was miserable. I actually had to get up and go outside twice to get some air. It must have been 20* cooler outside! To the owner, shame on you. The prices you want to charge and you can't even see to your guests comfort? The food was also a letdown. I honestly think I've made better pasta at home using fresh pasta from a grocery store and canned sauce. My pasta was slightly undercooked. The sauce was pretty bland. The veal meatballs however were very good. Tender and tasty. The muscles were also in a nice light sauce that we both enjoyed. It's just a shame that the only thing I could think about was how hot and stuffy it was inside. I couldn't even begin to really enjoy my time here.

This place was charming, the service was super friendly, and the food was amazing! A great find!!

We stopped by on our way through from Chicago to New Jersey. It is a casual quaint hole in the wall restaurant that wouldn't stand out if not suggested to us by a local shop owner. While the food is the typical delicious Italian we are used to in Northern New Jersey the experience is made special with several other aspects. The weight staff is friendly and helpful while the food is prepared right in front of you. The kitchen; like a pizza place, is located along the side of dining area completely open for all diners to watch! This creates a comfortable and mouth watering experience for everyone. Absolutely worth checking out if you are in the area!

WOW! All the dishes are made fresh to order! Ingredients fresh and servings large! I had one of the daily specials, Penne with Asparagus, Sun dried tomatoes in a fresh Garlic +OVOO. My wife had the fresh spinach Ravioli in a Garlic cream sauce . The atmosphere reminds me of some of the restaurants I've eaten in in Italy, small, quant personal. The food literally comes out of the chef's skillet on to your plat and placed on your table! HOT AND FRESH!

Amazing food and amazing service! Large portions. Authentic Italian food prepared by an Italian chef. You can tell that everything is scratch made and a lot of time went into each recipe. The chef walked around talking with tables ensuring their satisfaction. Chef makes you feel you're eating in his home--very inviting. The ambiance is quaint with knick knacks scattered on the walls.

My favorite Italian restaurant ever. Must try dishes include A la Piero, a perfect pasta dish with a creamy sauce and Aurora Ravioli, a creamy red sauce poured over delicious fresh raviolis.

Piero's is an average Italian restaurant that doesn't blow you away but will churn out a decent meal in a pinch. I've been a few times and each time the menu enticed me but the final product just let me down. I've had the lobster ravioli and it is not awful; it's just not even close to one of the best Italian dishes I've ever had. There are definitely a few other local Italian options that I would go to before Piero's.

Piero's is run by Gian Piero, a native Italian who can, at first glance, seem a little gruff and more than a little intimidating. Get to know him a bit and you'll discover he's a charming fellow with an interesting tale to tell about how he landed in a small resort town in eastern Ohio. Putting aside personalities, the food is excellent. Piero cooks it (mostly) by himself in a kitchen that's so close to the dining room it seems like an integral part of it. His pasta is tasty and always cooked to perfection. The sauces are flavorful and become part of, but don't overpower, the pasta. He does some very nice seafood dishes, depending on what's fresh. Seafood is usually grilled. Keep in mind this is a casual restaurant. It can be close quarters. It can be a little hot. But it's well worth the stop, and coming from Pittsburgh (2.5 hours away), this is a must stop for us. A couple of words to the wise: (1) it gets crowded and you may have to wait outside if you come during prime time on a weekend; (2) the restaurant closes at 9:00 p.m. usually, and may close earlier if they're not busy, so keep that in mind when deciding when to show up.

This was the best chicken parm I've ever had in my life! The chicken was tender and juicy and perfectly breaded and cooked. The pasta was delicious and the sauce was flavorful. The service was also top notch. The dining area was small and intimate and just lovely. The wine pairing from a local winery was a great compliment to the meal. I cannot recommend this place enough. Eat here, you will not be disappointed.

What an amazing experience! We had a party of 9 ladies and our wait was not even remotely as long as we thought it would be! Service was amazing, food was PHENOMENAL! Our group had the sweet red wine- delicious! I got the Penne Alla Vodka and the others got the Cream Sauce Alla Piero and the Lobster Ravioli. No one had a bad thing to say about any of the food- it was all delicious! We all were stuffed and went home with leftovers. The owner, Piero, was such a sweet man! He even made our table extra cream sauce would definitely recommend this restaurant!!!

We discovered this place about 20 years ago. We had a summer tradition of a family day trip to GOTL and the mission was to find a decent restaurant for dinner. Nothing in GOTL is fancy. Eddies is No 1 and we refer to it as "swat the flies while you eat" lol. We had tried every restaurant and are so happy we finally found Pieros Pasta House. It's not fancy, but Cindy and JP have done the best they can to make what they have to work with homey. Close your eyes and imagine an Italian garden; listen to the Italian music in the background. True, there's no AC, but remember where you are: GOTL. The menu is written on the wall, you can watch your meal being prepared, and the pasta is prepared the way it should be: al dente with the proper amount of seasoning. Over the past 20 years we have probably tried everything on the menu and have never had a bad meal. If you are looking for fine dining, overcooked pasta or a chain restaurant atmosphere, then this is not the place for you. Pieros Pasta House is a hole in the wall, hidden gem with gourmet quality food. Order a bottle of wine, relax while you start out with mussels, watch the action at the stove and use your imagination to go back to a simpler time. Yummmm.

ADA non compliant. The restaurant blatantly disrespectful to my son in a wheelchair. Tried to refuse him entry but had no choice due to law. Once inside, they refused most basic services. No drink but water, took our dinner right from us before we were done. Never acknowledged my son. Served the table next to us over us, by this I mean reached over us multiple times with food and dirty plates. Owners dog runs loose by food prep area. Yuk!

Service was horrible. After being seated and sitting there for 20 minutes and no one even acknowledging us, we walked out! Plus it wasn't even busy. We walked down to GOTL Brewing Co. - food and service were awesome! GOTL Brewing Co. ROCKS!

What a cute little Italian restaurant! Wonderful service, actually had three separate employees wait on me! Loved the meatballs and bread.

This is my family and I's favorite place to eat dinner. The owners + cooks are from Italy & really only cook the best and authentic dishes. We brought my other side of the family who's from Italy (who are normally very picky) they absolutely loved the food, atmosphere, & enjoyed communicating with the cooks in their mother tongue. Will always come back!

We had been craving real Italian food for 6 months since we came home from Italy on vacation. Someone suggested Piero's, when we asked around everyone confirmed it. Made the trip out on a lovely summer day, quickly sat, table for 2. Charming family business, good service and tasty food. Satisfied our craving like only authentic Italian food could. Looking forward to going back. (We enjoyed penne pesto with sausage and bolognese pasta)

My fiance & I didn't realize that all decent restauarnts closed at 9:00 on Saturday night while visiting Geneva on the Lake, OH. It was also pouring rain. We tried to eat at The Lake House but they turned us away at 8:50pm. We figured we would have to just grab a pizza at Zeppe's when we noticed the lights still on at Piero's. We parked & ran in looking like drowned rats. They explained that they were closing, but when they saw our disappointment, they invited us in. We were very appreciative of their generosity. Our very warm and friendly waitress expalned that they would only be able to offer us raviloli as everything at Piero's was made from scratch. We ordered salads & Lobster Ravioli. Both were absolutely delicious! The prices were reasonable to taking into consideration that all of the dishes were prepared from scratch. This restaurant was very quaint. All of the staff were extremely friendly and accomodating. I would and will recommend this restaurant highly to all!

Not only is this place adorable and authentic, but it has the BEST italian food I've ever had. Piero came to our table to check on us several times. I will definitely come here again!!

The best Italian food I ever ate if you want to try a great restaurant try this great Italian food you won't be disappointed I'm really sure of that Lauren nappi

Horrible place. Food is mediocre and very pricey...the owner is VERY RUDE...always rushes you out after spending a bundle. This is the worst place in Ashtabula county. Safe yourself from a bad experience, skip this place. Authentic it is NOT! The place is filthy too! Small, cramped and hot! Not my idea of good time. The owner/cook thinks he's the best chief in the world, which trust me he is NOT!

IMHO, Piero's is the best Italian restaurant in the area. I have eaten in several over the last couple of years and this one is absolutely excellent. Piero, the owner/chef, follows recipes from his childhood home, Sicily. The food is excellent. The atmosphere is simple, and some would say uninspired; however, if good food is your objective, this is the place to go. I gave Alessandro's a four star rating, but the two are very close. Ate there again tonight...one year after above review. My opinion is the same. Very, very good food.

This restaurant is very small but we found it to be very friendly and also very good. We went on a rainy, chilly Sunday and didn't have trouble getting a table but as the night went on it got pretty crowded. The young man who cooked our meals actually came over and sat down with us to explain things when he found out it was our first time there. He was very helpful and very nice. We'll go back again next year when we visit Geneva-on-the-Lake!

Being from Boston it is hard to find an authentic italian eatery outside of the North End(the little Italy of Boston). Look no further than this hidden gem nestled right in the heart of Geneva on the Lake. Gian brings his A game for every dish. His signature cream sauce is absolutely to die for. This place is an absolute must whenever I come through on my way to Columbus. Do NOT miss.

Incredible food. I love the puttanesca sauce and calamari appetizer. My wife and I go every time we are in town.

Went here with a group of eight friends to celebrate my birthday. What a surprise! Delicious! We had a variety of pastas and wine and everyone was so pleased! Homemade sauces, al dente pasta and a nice wine list! Piero was very personable and spent several minutes entertaining us with his stories. We will definitely be back! Seriously a gem!

Love, love, love JP and Cindy!! The best, authentic Italian food in a cozy and fun atmosphere. My family and I have been dining here since it first opened years ago. The pasta is always cooked to perfection, I always have to get the puttanesca- it's amazing!! But then again, everything is! This is a true local gem!

We had dinner there this weekend & truly enjoyed our experience. Food was fantastic with very attentive service & reasonable prices. Love this place! Try the veal meatballs
