Ones of my fav restaurants to visit when I'm in town. It was pretty busy but the line went by fast. I ordered the carbonara with Italian sausage. Ahh noticed when I got to the sausage it was not the sausage I was used to getting. This looked like round Italian sausage pieces that belong on a pizza. I have to say I prefer the sausage links that they cut. It added more flavor to the dish. I'm pretty sure I'll be back to try something else on the menu.

After seeing all the amazing reviews for this place, I decided to try it, but I was disappointed. Honestly, there's nothing to really be impressed with. For the pastas, they just put sauce on noodles and that's it. I kept finding hard noodles among my spaghetti, which was pretty gross. The service here was also pretty bad. The person who made mine was rude, and when I asked for extra cheese at the end, he rolled his eyes. Overall, this place isn't horrible, but it's not a great choice either. If you have no other options, go here, if not, don't waste your time.

My friend and I came here for lunch today. He ordered an avocado salad with steak and I got the avocado piada with grilled chicken and a sanpellegrino- the blood orange flavor. We enjoyed everything we got. We want to come back.

So the food is obviously on point and memorable, but i think the main issue in particular is the service and just the way the whole ordering system works. There was a long line and it was obviously very busy on a Friday night for dinner around 5pm. It's like ordering from chipotle, there's a line of people preparing the order asking you what you want and adding the stuff as you move down the line, but really bad and inefficient. The food preparer asked for our orders and said he got it. He made one of the bowls and turned to ask us again for the next item. Then the next guy asks the same question, forgets what we just said, and asks again. It was like this for all the 4 items we ordered and finally just before we paid i noticed that the order was incorrect so they had to go back and fix it. This location is in the mall of America food court

I'm at the mall frequently because I play Pokemon Go a lot, and 90% of the time I have to eat a meal at the MoA, I always choose Piada. They are consistently delicious and have a lot of great, healthy options! The place is fairly popular so there's often a line, but the staff works hard and is friendly considering that it's non-stop for them... but even so, the line moves efficiently and it's 1000% worth the little wait! Honestly, I've tried most of the items on the menu (as I said, I eat there a lot haha), and there hasn't really been anything I haven't liked, but the Chef's Favorite piada and the Mediterranean one are definitely my current go-to's. :)

I have very nice chats with Jonathan there. He was very helpful the first few times I went to try Piada and his positive attitude really brighten my day and made the transaction better for me. I do suffer with anxiety and sometimes being in a big open space full of people can get overwhelming for me but Jonathan was super helpful and patient. I feel comfortable going to this location more than the one closer to me.
Love the service! And the quality of the food is amazing! Definitely will recommend coming to the MOA
