The Italian Peasant is a charming restaurant known for its delicious and appealing food. The Veg Antipasto is a meal in itself, and the steak sandwich with fries comes highly recommended. The chicken piccata is awesome, and the large pizza is truly large. The linguine marinara is a must-try. The restaurant was originally opened by Dominic Puglisi in 2010, famous for its New York style pizza and Italian dishes. After his passing in 2014, the quality of the food gradually declined but returned to excellence by 2023, and remains great into late 2024. While some dishes like clam chowder and chicken wings have been disappointing due to being too salty or spicy, the friendly service helps make the experience better. The place is especially popular for Mother's Day celebrations. Parking is available at the front, and staff are generally available to assist. Recent reviews mention that despite the good food and quick service, some customers feel the food quality has declined and the prices are too high, with issues like soggy pizza and raw hamburger. However, many still find the food delicious, especially the pizza, chicken parmesan, and linguini with clams, mussels, and shrimp in a spicy red sauce. Overall, it remains a place worth visiting for its tasty dishes and cozy atmosphere.
