Pieros Ristorante and Pizzeria in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

10/10 Amazing! Staff were wonderful and extremely accommodating to various dietary needs, and amazing food and restaurant design!

Lovely in all respects, wonderful menu, top service, great atmosphere.

We always come back to Pieros as it is really family friendly, it always has food that even the fussiest child will eat. Its also reasonably priced for delicious food and friendly service. Most pubs and restaurants are now charging £15-20+ for even a basic meal, so its great to be able to take the whole family out, everyone have 2 courses, drinks and coffee and it come to less than £100. I sometimes come in for lunch as a treat with my son and at £20 for both our lunches and a soft drink each, its not that much more than a pasty and can sat on a bench. It always feels welcoming and I love that its always busy with people that are known to the family that run it, there aren't many family run restaurants anymore.

Very disappointing. Food lacked flavour, veg was sad and old looking. The sauces were made from the same base and altered to work with, what should have been, completely different dishes! I ordered garlic butter mushrooms they came in a brownish sauce and I couldn’t taste garlic. The decor was grubby, in need of updating. The toilets (located near the kitchen) smelled awful and looked unclean. The chips were dry and tasteless. It was like an old cafe experience charging restaurant prices. I wouldn’t go back. Well overpriced for what they’re serving.

It was a nice restaurant. The staff were very polite and the food was good. The only reason that I didn't give 5 stars was the table was sticky and wobbly and didn't get corrected until we had finished. Having said that, we would go again.

Excellent pizza at a pleasant price. Pasta and pizza are also available gluten-free. Friendly and fast service in a cozy atmosphere.

This restaurant has always been on my must visit list every time I visit Cornwall on holiday. The food us exquisite and great value and the atmosphere? You could be in Italy👍

Excellent food, service and surroundings ... truly authentic ... couldn't want for anything or anywhere better.

My 1st visit and I'll return. Excellent experience.

Extremely fast service, nice enough food. Felt a little tired, like it would have been top notch in 1990 something, which we just found kind off endearing, but possibly not for everyone. Felt a little rushed by the waiter, was still chewing my last mouthful when the plates were taken

We were sat right in the entry. It wasn’t a great position. Waiters/ waitresses walking back and forth constantly. Starters good but wasn’t delivered with bread as advertised. I asked and got given two lots of bread despite us ordering three. Pizzas were divine. Chicken tikka really yummy - not cubes of fake chicken proper shredded chicken. Inferno a yummy pizza. Pasta good. Desserts ridiculously priced so didn’t have. Service a bit grumpy. Very very busy. Not the best pizzas I’ve ever had but nice.

Awful, when entering wasn’t greeted just told there you go’ and a short rude waiter called Stefano gestured towards a table. Drinks slammed down on the table by the same rude waiter. No warm welcome food average at best I had a veal lemon dish which was gelatinous to say the least my daughter did enjoy her kid’s bolognaise. I was so shocked by the rudeness I actually asked other diners which they also agreed was rude. Their was a nice lady at the bar who I felt I could approach about the server who said that she’s leaving due to him and he’s always like that’. There is another taller waiter who was nice and made effort to make my daughter happy (extra chocolate sauce on her ice cream etc. they both need credit and if management are reading this please SACK this Stefano he’s a risk in more bad reviews this place looks the business from the outside shame this guy is letting them down To the other staff you are wonderful and I thank you so much I had to give it only two stars one for each of you

Was excited to try the food been recommended. however, it was very bland and underwhelming for the price ( I had the seafood pasta) staff were pleasant enough I was hoping for a taste of Italy but it just didn't deliver.

Used to come here 30 years ago and whenever I think of Truro I think of Piero’s. I was here again with my family (they had never been before) on Tuesday evening and it was exactly as I remembered. Amazing food and lovely people! This is definitely the best Italian food around and the garlic pizza is to die for! My family are hooked now too! We will be back and will not be leaving it so long this time.

Staff were pleasant and friendly. Food was fine. However, a service charge of 10% was included on the bill. OK, but then on paying by credit card a further charge of 20% was solicited. We complained and were told it was a mistake. Difficult to see how it could be a mistake. Bill plus 10% and then an additional 20%. In fact an additional charge of 32% if we had agreed to both. America comes to Truro.

Absolutely Amazing food and lovely people. I hope to see this business thrive for years to come!

Good pizza, kind and Italians! Must try!

Superb meal at Piero’s and very reasonable price! Staff were very attentive and happy to help (not sure about the bad reviews on this) everyone we had was pleasant 😊 Food was delicious, came out fast and was hot! We shared bread for a starter and for mains I had the Fettuccine Piero’s highly recommend. Prawns & aubergine in tomato sauce was only £13.90! Will definitely be back 👍🏻

Finally a real Italian restaurant, very good aubergine parmigiana, very good desserts made by them, very Italian guys, fast and friendly. It feels like home, thank you

Wait a little long but the food is good value for money

This was the best experience I have ever had related to food. The pizza was out of this world, the service they gave us was incredible and although it's a little pricey I'd say it's worth every penny. And since we came before lunch it was just me and my 2 friends and I believe it was the manager or just a gentleman doing work but they were so kind they also gave us a free pizza. When I walked out of there I've been dreaming of going back since.

If you aren't a regular you aren't important. We live locally and maybe once a year we say let's give it another chance. Well this was the very last. Everytime we go we find the staff so rude and dismissive. This time was no different, we stood for almost 5 mins to be seated whilst the staff discussed us with apparent annoyance as we dared to attend without a booking. Then once reluctantly seated we waited 20 mins for someone to take a drink order and 40 mins in total after asking twice for our food order to be taken, after 3 tables that came in after us had both drink and food ordered and we were totally ignored. The food arrived and was so very bland and insipid, we had veal saltimbocca and a veal dish with mushroom both were completely tasteless and basic at £18 a dish with extra fries that tasted like old chip pan fat we did not enjoy the food. We also received a chicken pasta dish which was absolutely disgracefull no flavour a couple of bits of chicken with almost no sauce, actually very poor and a disgrace to serve. We asked for a beer and never received it then they had the cheek to try and charge us for it. we feel a bill of £90 after all this was a total rip off. We however paid to avoid trouble, we have see staff fight with clients in here but we will never return, they forget local people pay their bills when it's quieter in winter. I'd rather eat a tin of pasta than eat there again. Don't be fooled, they smile as you enter but they care very little about the quality they provide.

The staff and everyone there were so nice🤩 The pizza was out of this world and the cheese pulls were as long as our arms overall 10/10 experience

We were in Truro and looking for somewhere to eat. We came across this place and though,give it ago. First time eating here and will go back. We had to wait a while because we ordered the specials which took longer to prepare. However the food was delicious. Looking forward too going back

Pizza beats pizza express. Authentic experience

SO expensive for almost no food at lunch. And SO expensive ice cream. Don't eat here there are better priced places

Excellent food quality and the staff was very friendly, definitely recommended !

Delicious food with great service

Best place in truro no competition ❤ authentic cuisine and always made fresh 🙌⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A lovely authentic Italian place in central Truro. I’ve been a few times for lunch. It’s always a delight.

Been attending this family run restaurant for over 20 years. Guaranteed delicious food and a welcoming smile and atmosphere every time! Would definitely recommend! 🇮🇹 🤌🏼

The food is ok, but the service is bad. The dining chairs are just not comfortable enough for the time it takes you to be served. Honestly, the waiters seem genuinely unhappy to be working there, and show no interest in providing any level of service... Or maybe they were having a bad day...I doubt we'll go back to try again. We'll just give this place a miss.

I normally pop into Pieros twice a year or so whenever down in Cornwall. Yesterday was the total opposite of my previous experiences. Maybe it was because it's still early June. We entered and there was only a two tables of customers The waiter was a sullen elderly chap who we had waited on us before. He freaked of body odour which was off putting and seemed to be the only person serving at first. The table was sticky with grease. What annoyed me the most was the we ordered and then three other tables came in, ordering copious amount of food; yet our mains seemed to take forever. We ordered chips- they took me back to being at school- totally devoid of any flavour. Pasta was just okay.

Me and my family always come here and have a great time, the pizzas are amazing the service is amazing and the atmosphere is nice and calm. This place never disappoints us

Fantastic authentic Italian food. Great atmosphere and the place was absolutely buzzing. Thank you Mr Piero's.

So good we went back again 2 days later, authentic Italian good served in the typical italian"family " way with all the frenzy of a genuinely busy restaurant, not surprising it was packed out joth nights..

Fantastic atmosphere , good service food was outstanding too. The gentleman who served us it’s a true gentleman

The ambiance and food is amazing 😊

Always beautiful food here, no complaints at all. Maybe there was a new waiter on his first evening service the other night but the young lad didn’t really have a clue. He’ll learn the longer he works there perhaps. Not really a complaint at all. But there was a particularly miserable waiter who came across rude and irritated. Maybe he’d had a bad day…… Other than that we’ll be back as always.

Good fast service and the pasta was really tasty. Friendly and welcoming staff made the overall experience really pleasant...

I had a night out with my Son-In-law and had a good experience at Piero's . The food was very good and I would definitely recommend it.

This restaurant is great, cosy, very pleasant staff, extremely welcoming.

Visiting here always makes you feel like you are on holiday

Been coming to Pieros for years. The food was absolutely incredible as usual, very authentic which is a rarity these days. The staff were very polite and kind to my kids, making sure the kiddies pizzas were not just good portions but individual shapes for them which they loved. I can’t rate the restaurant highly enough there’s nothing quite like it in Cornwall!

Great place with a great customer service.Is nice to see this busy people and prompt to serve us on the spot. If you are out of area like I was ,this is the place to go. Thanks you

Wonderful family run establishment. Superb food attentive service great atmosphere fair prices. Relaxed and romantic . Highly recommended.

Cracking find. They will always try and get you a table no matter how busy they are. Proper Italian.

The food was lovely however the waiter was very surly, not at all welcoming. Shame because this could be a lovely restaurant.

Met my sister there for lunch, as it is her favourite restaurant. Staff were rude, no eye contact and very offhand. We walked out and went across the road to a ery different welcome

What a great place. 5 of ate there mid week. Everything was perfectly cooked. The sardinian waiter/maitre de was so good and friendly. We will definitely go there again. 2 bottles of wine, 3 starters, 5 mains, 1 pudding, 1 coffee(dbl) and 3 cheeky grappas. TOTAL 160.

Positives are that the waiting staff were all friendly and prompt. Unfortunately that is where the positives end. The meal was at best mediocre, the pasta portions were fairly small and the sauces were watery. The garlic pizza bread was also soggy and actually just a pizza base with tomato sauce, I genuinely couldn't taste any garlic and as my daughter hates tomatoes she wouldn't eat any whereas she loves real garlic bread. However, my real issue is the price. £83. For 2 adults and two children. No alcoholic drinks, just lemonade and basic pasta dishes. It left a real sting in the evening. Sadly won't be returning.

Love it ❤ It was my date night 🇮🇹🍰tiramisu was delicious

This has been a favourite of ours for years due to the fun service and excellent food. However, our latest visit was our last. The waiting staff were rude, the pasta dishes watery and below par and a total rip off at £25 for the tiniest fillet steaks we’ve ever seen, on top of which a sauce, chips and salad each cost extra! Meaning an unenjoyable midweek meal ended up costing us almost £100 for 3 people.

Beautiful quiet restaurant with fantastic Italian food

An exceptional dining experience on a bustling Friday evening, the service was remarkably quick from the moment we stepped in and the menu boasted an impressive array of classic Italian dishes. The staff were very friendly and were able to accommodate us last minute, I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

me after trying the fettuccine perio’s:

Food was very nice. The penne funghi was very flavourful and was a good portion. The pizza was great with a very good base. My only complaint would be that my server was unenthusiastic and looked a bit done.

Lovely authentic Italian food in a nice setting. Going to Piero’s is our treat to ourselves

Best restaurant in Truro,or any where else really.

Very grumpy if you haven't booked but a really nice meal all the same reasonable value too

First time visiting this restaurant and will definitely be back. The restaurant was extremely busy as it was Christmas eve. The Service and food were fantastic.

Had a lovely meal here for my birthday. Great service, great food. Love this place!

Came after Christmas with family, having visited a few years previously. This time, we were very disappointed, no warm greeting, and although service was quick, neither the young lady nor the older chap smiled. The meal was OK the kids enjoyed their pizzas, and the adults meals were just ok. Shocked to find 10% service charge on the bill when the menu says gratuities are at your discretion, so had this removed, which did not go down well.

We went for a large family meal today (sorry anyone sat near us, that many under 8’s are never quiet). The food was amazing, reasonably priced, and excellent service. Thank you

Absolutely amazing again, food is excellent, service fantastic, an all-around great experience, and I look forward to more.

Lovely food and atmosphere, would certainly recommend 😊

I was so looking forward to a traditional Italian but was a little disappointed with the food. It's not bad but I've been to better Italians with more delicious food. It was just uninspiring and a bit boring. It was also pretty uncomfortable as the chairs were hard. Not sure I'll bother again. A shame as there are hardly any Italian restaurants in our area of Cornwall. It seems quite popular at lunchtime though. Maybe I should have had the pasta which looked better than my meat dish.

Our favourite pizzas … We dine in regularly, and have never been disappointed. We have on the last couple of a occasions ordered take out …. So delighted with the service … perfect timing as the pizzas were ready for us to collect…we recommend to all our friends. You are the best !!!

Good food, excellent service and a lively atmosphere. Would recommend to family and friends.8

The dishes were very small, they looked like a tapa more than a main dish, the service was not very professional, the truth is the experience has not been good, I do not recommend it.

Great place for an authentic experience

Very disappointing lunch. Service was slow and we had to ask 3 times for drinks that we had ordered. The rest of the party's food was OK but 2 lasagnes were terrible. A lump of hard pasta in the middle of the plate covered in tomato sauce. No white sauce and not a sight of cheese on it. When we came to pay they didn't want to split the bill as we were paying individually and I had to ask 3times for separate bills. The waiter wasn't happy with this and rolled his eyes. He even took back the chocolates that were on the plate. We won't go again!

This is my favourite place to eat anywhere around here. Nice polite staff, very good food, and a real relaxed feeling to the place, top restaurant!!!

Have been here a few times, the food is delicious and not too pricey. I believe most of the staff are Italian or Sardinian. Only issue was the waiter trying to take our plates away while we were still eating but I put this down to an overabundance of efficiency, which I appreciate. Although I did ask them to give us a few more minutes! Overall, a nice place to eat and it's always busy which says more about the place than I can.

We had a very good experience here before going on to the Hall for Cornwall. The service was quick but not rushed, the food was of a very good quality and very reasonably priced. Decor is somewhat dated, but if you are look for tasty Italian food and prompt service, we would throughly recommend

Food wasn't too bad, its just the service, it wasn't terrible but just felt like an inconvenience as others have said. Shame, grew up in Truro and this has been around for years. Place was rammed though so maybe just wrong timing. Unfortunately won't be going back as a consequence of this visit though.

Love this restaurant, been eating here for years, had a momentary blip when Pierro left but then he's come back and it's business as usual. Good food, speedy service and friendly atmosphere.

Opted for lunchtime special ravioli for £9 - when it came it was 4 pieces of ravioli with sauce on a plate with one cherry tomato. Could have had a bowl of pasta for £12 so no comparison with price and portion size. When paying bill was asked how food was so said ok but 4 pieces of ravioli for 9 quid not acceptable. This did not go down well and was told i was the 1st person to complain but that was ok. What on earth has happened to this place have been coming here since it opened- no tip left and won't be returning

Very slow service. 40mins from order till we got our starters, we were there nearly 2 hours before our mains arrived - felt as if we had been forgotten about! Many tables had arrived after us and been served before and already left before we’d had anything to eat. Waiter seemed to only remember us when he’d walked past us multiple times and seen us without food and then seemed to rush our starters out of the kitchen without apology. Additionally, at the end of all this the food could be described as mediocre at best. Would like to think this was due to it being a busy evening but won’t be rushing back.

Beautiful little place excallent service amazing food

Poor service. Slow to take drinks orders. Nearly 25 mins after we were seated. Pizza was heavily caked in toppings and undercooked. Older waiter was quite unfriendly to us… almost treated us an inconvenience (but was overtly flirty and friend to a table of females). Won’t return again.

Absolutely love this place, ticks all the boxes 🤠

First time visiting always busy so thought it would be worth checking it out. Wasn't disappointed. Food was great as was the general atmosphere of the place. Only just managed to get a table they were almost fully booked but glad we were able to sample some lovely Italian dishes. Would certainly visit again.

We came as a party of 9 tonight. For our mother's birthday. The service was good and the steaks were tasty. We recommend to big groups as there is something for everyone. Limonchello was a lovely dessert!

Visit many times and never a problem until now , wasn't busy so our drinks and starters arrived quite quickly but then went downhill from here on in couples who arrived after and order mains after us seemed to get them before ours and waited 40 minutes for our food which was incorrect but as we had waited so long we just ate and left Not sure if we will return after this

Lovely Italian restaurant which has been serving for over 30 years. There's a reason it's survived so long!

Really lovely restaurant. Great food and very reasonably price .Will definitely be coming back again .

On a busy Saturday night in Cornwall's Cathedral city, our first choice of eaterie was a bust - too noisy and not relaxing. After looking at a few alternatives we came across Piero's. A short queue didn't put us off, and the friendly owner showed us to a table after only a short wait. Although the place was packed, people were comin g and going the whole time, so it seems that a queue is standard procedure here. The menu is varied, although not that extensive, and we can recommend the ultra-fresh calamari fritti, and the great pizzas. Service is fast enough without ever seeming to hurry the diners, and the prices are very reasonable - 2 people eating and drinking for less than fifty quid.

The best pizza place I have ever gone too, I don't believe it will be beaten either

Really nice atmosphere lots of natural light with a real family atmosphere. The pizzas were not too bad, the green salad was very boring. But apart from that it wasn't too bad at all.

Superb Italian cuisine. I had Penne Arrabiata. Delicious. Followed by Lemon Sorbet with Limoncello. The red wine was excellent too. Service was quick. Excellent meal. Will be returning.

Visited for 1st time in ages. Regret it is a reasonable distance to travel here for evening meals when you have Twin 4 Year Olds! The food for my Wifes Birthday was as good as it has always been. Good selection of Drinks as well....

As I was visiting family I googled and found this fabulous family run Italian restaurant in the heart of Truro. The place from the front looks small but once inside it’s beautifully decorated. The staff were slick, attentive but not obtrusive. Typical Italian pace. The...

Waiters were very rude, not great service even though we booked not a great table, food nothing to write home about, I ordered vegetable pizza which had olives on, pizza was horrible don't rate this place at all

Very good restaurant, very good food, excellent service! We went for our anniversary Very friendly when I told them I was Argentinian

Food superb,prices reasonable 🥰

Tasty food, pleasant environment, nice staff

Lovely restaurant, great staff and food was beautiful

Always an incredible experience - Best garlic pizza we’ve ever had! Max is the best waiter EVER, always goes above and beyond Been coming here for 30 years and won’t be stopping any time soon! X
