Pignetti's - Temple

Pignetti’s – A Memorable Dining Experience My wife and I were looking for a romantic dinner date night and decided to try Pignetti’s in Temple, Texas. The glowing reviews for this fine-dining Italian restaurant convinced us to give it a shot—and I’m so glad we did! First, I called to make a reservation, but they only had tables available later that night. I explained that it was just the two of us, and the manager was incredibly gracious in finding a spot for us despite the busy schedule. Second, our waiter was exceptional—attentive, knowledgeable, and accommodating. We ordered the filet mignon and the salmon Alejandro. My salmon was cooked perfectly, with an ideal temperature and portion size, and served alongside a generous bed of vegetables. I also had a taste of my wife’s filet mignon—it was tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection (medium), accompanied by potatoes and green beans. The owner, Clinton, stopped by our table, and I have to say, he’s an incredibly likable guy—warm and welcoming, which adds to the cozy, inviting atmosphere of the place. I highly recommend Pignetti’s for anyone looking for an outstanding dining experience! (We got to meet Clinton the next day. He was super hospitable and shared some of his wine brand and his story with us. We spent a fair amount of time discussing life, religion, wine, and family.)
