Pietro's has always been this trusty choice, the Italian you can fall back on. Its got a large space, very affordable for the amount of food you get and always a satisfying meal (with some very stereotypical Italian music in the background, for ambiance I suppose).
I can safely say everything we ordered that night was awesome. We started with a bottle of wine for the three of us, which is a great, financially sensible option in Pietro's.

Having started dinner in the best way possible, we ordered a couple of appetizers to accompany our wine - fried risotto balls and roasted Brussels sprouts.

They were both so very good - crunchy balls and perfectly roasted sprouts.
Knowing that would be hard to top, we forged onward to the main course. I ordered the Fettuccine Carbonara - the best kind of comfort food.
The sauce was perfectly creamy with mushrooms, cheese, peas and crispy prosciutto. The portions are so generous, that even after I had eaten to my utmost fullest, I had leftovers. You would think that would signal the end of dinner, but we didn't stop there. We decided to get one dessert, that we shared. How else do you end an awesome Italian meal, but with some Tiramisu.

It tasted as good as it looked and was a wonderful end to a wonderful night. I had a great time with friends and additionally, we all had leftovers for days.
