" I can't say enough good things about Pizzaiolo Primo. From the moment I entered, the warm staff and inviting atmosphere set the tone for a great meal. We started with the stuffed banana peppers, which were a revelation! For mains, the cacio e pepe was done just right; creamy and flavorful pasta that was perfectly al dente. Everything from the cocktails to the dessert felt upscale without being pretentious, and I love that they focus on authentic Italian recipes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our evening at Pizzaiolo Primo was delightful! Every aspect, from the quick service to the delicious food, stood out. The gnocchi was light and fluffy, just the way they should be. We also tried their specials, and I can definitely recommend the seafood pasta; it was fresh and flavorful. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it perfect for family meals or romantic dates alike. I’d love to go back for dessert next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Pizzaiolo Primo was a real treat! The atmosphere was lively yet cozy, and the food felt like a warm hug. I ordered a pepperoni pizza, and honestly, it was one of the best I’ve ever had. The crust has a great chew to it, just like the ones I had while visiting Naples. For dessert, I couldn't pass up the cannoli; it was the perfect finish to a satisfying meal. The service staff was friendly and made us feel at home. I can't wait to visit again! " (*Curated Review*)

" We visited Pizzaiolo Primo with friends and had a wonderful time. I tried the Lasagna and was absolutely in love. The layers were hearty and the sauce was perfectly seasoned. Our server was very accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. The atmosphere was cozy, with a great vibe. The only downside was that we had to wait a bit longer than expected for our mains to arrive, but it was well worth the wait in the end. Fantastic dining spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Pizzaiolo Primo left me impressed. We were a sizeable group, and even with the hustle and bustle, our server ensured that we were well taken care of. I particularly enjoyed the seafood risotto, which was flavorful and comforting. I do wish the dessert menu had more choices, but the experience in its entirety was enjoyable. Highly recommended for group dining! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I was hopeful about my visit to Pizzaiolo Primo, it sadly did not live up to my expectations. The pasta was just okay, with a texture that felt slightly off. I appreciated the warm greeting from the staff, but the service was rather slow on the day we visited. The pizza my friend ordered was decent, but I think I’ll look for another Italian restaurant next time I’m in Pittsburgh. I wanted to love it, but it left me wanting more. " (*Curated Review*)

" Last night, I had the opportunity to dine at Pizzaiolo Primo, and it was an excellent choice for a celebration with friends. We shared several appetizers like the arancini and mozzarella fritto, both of which were fantastic. For the main course, I went with their special of the night, a seafood pasta that was vibrant with flavors and freshly prepared. Our server was super friendly and made the experience feel special. I will definitely be returning for that seafood pasta and more! " (*Curated Review*)
