The award-winning San Pietro, proclaimed as "the best and most authentic Italian restaurant outside of Italy" by the Italian government, media and culinary organizations. We believe in "nourishing body and soul," which is the wisdom of our Salerno ancestors from southern Italy.
We have remained faithful to an ancient tradition based on the great Salerno School of Medicine, from the 10th through the 12th centuries. The School advocated a healthy, well-balanced diet, regular exercise and a low-stress lifestyle. It is a remarkable prescription that could be written today. Each week, we fly in most of our ingredients directly from Italy and the Mediterranean.
