The menu at Acqua Pazza aims to please all comers, with an ambitious---maybe overly ambitious---range of items. The biggest draws are the raw bar and the seafood appetizers, which include oyster shooters and a ceviche of the day. Mushroom soup is a good first course option; otherwise, try the pizzas, the pastas and the panini. The well-rounded wine list includes labels from Argentina, Napa, Australia, France and Italy. Happy hour begins every day as soon as breakfast is over, which ensures that the place is buzzing from lunchtime through the evening. At peak hours, that buzz reaches a low roar. Affordable prices and regular deals help keep the buzz going.

Piero's rocks!
by psfoodnwinelovr on 07/08/2008
 
This restaurant is a Rancho Mirage gem. Located at the River, Piero's has everything anyone would want from menu to atmosphere to drinks to service. With an extensive menu and delicious food, this restaurant has been a life saver on more than one occasion.

I had my mother's birthday party there last week and was more than impressed with how incredible of an experience it turned out to be. The friendly staff was on top of our every need, and the food was more than outstanding. We chose a pre-set menu for our event with several selections to choose from and the staff catered our event with perfection.

For a quick lunch or dinner to a catered event, Piero's is the best in the Valley.
