" We had a fantastic dining experience overall at Pizzaiolo Primo! Our server was upbeat and knowledgeable, providing excellent suggestions. The risotto and pasta dishes were phenomenal, and I could taste the freshness in every bite. The ambiance was lively and fun, perfect for sharing a meal with friends. Already planning our next adventure back there soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was not very impressed with Pizzaiolo Primo. I expected more based on the reviews and cuisine focus. My dish was just average — the flavors did not pop as expected. The server was kind, though I felt understaffed which might have contributed to the service lag. For the price point, I believe I could find better options elsewhere in the city. " (*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*)

" 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*)
