Pietro Giunta is the Patriarch of whom the restaurant is named after. Native Chester Countians remember him fondly as the proprietor of Italian American Groceries on Darlington Street almost a century ago. With quality meats and produce the customer relied on. They represented, too, the joy and benefits of plain old hard work.

Today, the Giunta Family tradition continues at Pietro’s Prime as his great-granddaughter, Marisa Giunta, alongside Sean Powell (Executive Chef), set new standards with steak and seafood cookery. Pietro’s is Zagat rated and has been voted Best in Philly and has also been given the Diner's Choice award.
