Welcome to Piacére!

Jose and Mary Pelayo

Owners José and Mary Pelayo have, over the last thirty-some years, perfected their own style of Italian cooking. They have brought their expertise and perfectionism to this sophisticated-yet-casual restaurant. Enjoy the basket of baked-fresh daily bread, which is brought to your table soon after you're seated. Relax with a glass of wine from their extensive wine list showcasing some of wine country's finest wineries. Entrées include pastas, veal, chicken, seafood and steak, prepared in creative ways and served impeccably.

Tables are set with red table cloths, tea lights, cruets of olive oil and vases of real roses. Being a large family themselves, the Pelayos welcome the little bambinos in your party with a special children's menu. Dinner at Piacére is a treat not to be missed! Weather permitting, enjoy Piacére's comfortable outdoor patio. During Cloverdale's Friday Night Live summertime concerts, Piacére is open late and plays on with live music of their own.
