My wife and I dined at Piacere around Christmas. It was a disaster. Bad food. Bad service. My wife had previously also had a so-so experience there. Being a slow learner or a forgiving sort, I wanted to give them another chance. I recently dined there solo to give them a final try. While my meal was not disastrous, it certainly didn't merit a third strike. I ordered a salad and gnocchi. The salad was unremarkable. The gnocchi were heavy, hard and buried in a thick sauce. I was sitting on the patio outside and had to work hard to get the waiter's attention. There are too many good restaurants near by to waste time or money at Piacere.
Pros: Nicely redecorated. Good location.
Cons: Mediocre food. Bad service.
