" 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*)

" I recently had dinner at Pizzaiolo Primo, and it was an unforgettable experience! The flavors were authentic, reminding me of the time I spent in Italy. I ordered the Diavola pizza and it was simply perfect. The dough was thin and crispy, and the toppings were fresh and savory. Our server was attentive and made excellent wine recommendations that paired beautifully with our meal. I can't wait to return and try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" The overall experience at Pizzaiolo Primo was good, but a few hiccups kept me from scoring it higher. The staff were very friendly, and the ambiance was perfect for our evening together. Our food was fairly delicious, but the pasta could have been slightly firmer. I would still recommend this restaurant for its menu options and potential, hoping for a smoother visit next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Pizzaiolo Primo with high expectations, and while it wasn’t bad, it didn’t quite reach what I hoped it would be. The atmosphere was bustling, but I felt the service wasn’t very attentive at times. My dish, while flavorful, lacked authenticity compared to other Italian spots I've tried. I would potentially return to explore other options, but my excitement has dampened a bit. " (*Curated Review*)
