San Pietro Ristorante Restaurant Review: Indoors and out, San Pietro resonates with the sunny ambience and flavors of the Amalfi Coast. The four Bruno brothers add to that by showering guests with a warm welcome. San Pietro is pricey, but the flair and finesse of this kitchen keep it busy. Executive chef Antonio Bruno imports some 85 percent of his ingredients from bella Italia, and while the menu is subject to seasonal changes, favorite items include appetizers like zucchini flowers filled with mozzarella, capers and anchovies; tender pan-fried calamari and artichokes; and baby octopus and eggplant sautéed with tomatoes, capers, peperoncino, shallots, parsley and garlic. Entrées that shine include ravioli filled with borlotti beans, sun-dried tomatoes, pecorino cheese and rucola with roasted and strained eggplants; or the roast rack of lamb with zucchini, robiola cheese and fresh herbs. Desserts change nightly and may include hot zabaglione topped with berries, a chocolate soufflé or crêpes Suzette.
