First time in Waco visiting over the Holidays. Wanted to try something different and after seeing prior reviews we decided on Italian. Wow what a great find! Cute little place with a nice casual atmosphere ( was busy) we shared mushrooms for an app with the most amazing bread I had the pork chop and my husband ordered a pasta dish. We shared everything, the chop was tender and flavorful, his pasta with sausage In I believe a vodka sauce was amazing! So glad we considered the reviews here. DELICIOUS

This is the best Italian food in Waco Hands down. I tell everyone I can about this place.

Very good! A great spot in Waco regardless if it is date night or a family outing. Highly recommend it. They also have a great full bar!

Food was Delicious, Amazing Service, and Very Patient with Us. Highly Recommend anyone that likes or Loves Italian Food

Okay sometimes I do write bad reviews, however I believe I write honest reviews. This place rocks -- wearing your expandable waist pants would be advised because you won't leave anything on your plate. We had a delicious salad that was of the dark green leafy variety with lemon oregano vinaigrette and the rib eye lasagna. Both dishes were of gourmet quality. We had calamari-- my husband loves calamari so much I don't think he is as picky as I am about what "good calamari" Is and is not. I am picky..... it was so good I avoided the cocktail sauce and only used the lemon. It was perfectly fried and fresh - not chewy or greasy. The server was sweet and professional-- actually she was lovely and I wish we had her name. The atmosphere was elegant. We are planning to come back to spend more time exploring Waco and we will return

Awesome place. Great food. Reasonable prices Cool atmosphere. Soup, salad, meatballs and parm chicken and beers were spot on. Would definitely come back.

I've had the pleasure of visiting Pignetti's twice now. Both times, I should say, were associated with Baylor - nice dinners after conferences, etc. The biggest plus here, was that both dinners were free - which I won't lie - ALMOST tipped this from a 4-star to 5-star review. This place ALMOST hits the trifecta: ambiance (cool vibe of a "warehouse feel" building with tall ceilings and a huge fireplace - very open feel), food, and service. Both visits I opted for the ribeye lasagna, and it's outstanding. Although, now that I've looked at the menu - not entirely sure the amount of food is worth that price. The appetizers we had - the Hot & Crispy Bread and Wagyu meatballs were absolute MUSTS! I'd have those again in a heartbeat. Also, please save room for dessert, the cheesecake is outstanding. Unfortunately, our group was not waited on very well, in my opinion. We had 20-30 in our group (separate room), and I'm not sure they had enough wait staff to properly serve the group. There seemed to be longer gaps in service than there should have been, confusion about drinks, and the delay processing our bar tabs (considering all the food was paid for), was disappointing. Long story short: I would definitely eat here again, so don't let my four-star review deter you!

Last night my mom and I went to eat dinner here and we were blown away! We are from out of town and wanted to try something new that was from the area. We found Pignetti's on yelp & thought we'd give it a try! The hostess immediately sat us, was very kind, and the place is gorgeous! The lighting is stunning. Our server, I wish I remembered her name, was incredible! She said it was her first week but you wouldn't have been able to tell. She was fantastic. Very knowledge, very down to earth, and such good service! The drinks were spot on. We both got a lemon drop! Very tasty and the rim was coated in brown sugar! We started with bread, bone marrow butter (YUM!), and this fanatic olive oil with herbs. It was super good. Our dinner was amazing! Salad and pasta dishes with chicken. Such good flavors and well cooked. When leaving each person we walked past said bye. Additionally, someone even said, "we really appreciate you coming." Just very very sweet good people working at this restaurant. It was such a breath of fresh air! If you're looking for incredible Italian (they have steaks too!), good drinks, a great atmosphere this is your place! Must see in Waco!

Great food and amazing. Happy hour deals! The bar service can be a little bit slow, but it's worth it and they're super nice You've got to try the killer martini... Orange vodka infused with fresh pineapple soaked for 3 - 5 days they told us

I absolutely loved the vibe of this place! Super cozy and romantic with cool decor and nice music playing. Could serve as a cute date night or casual night at the bar. We started with the Wagyu Meatballs that were firm but juicy and flavorful with a slightly spicy sauce. The Italian bread with oil was also amazing and super soft with a slightly crunchy crust. For my main I got the Triple Delight- the sauce was delicious and the meat was great, I just was not the biggest fan of the shrimp, it felt a little overcooked. Our server was kind and the food came out fairly quickly. My only complaint is I had originally ordered the Chicken Marsala but later found out they no longer had any more that night and I had to choose a different entree. Overall a great Italian place in the city!!
