Il Pizzaiola

We love this restaurant. Italian food at its best. We love the food, the ambiance, the wines and especially the staff. We cannot wait till it reopens. They have taken every Covid precaution. We are totally comfortable when we eat indoors. It is one of the best Italian restaurants in the greater Pittsburgh area. Please reopen soon.

The staff always makes you feel welcome. The decor/ atmosphere is rustic, tasteful, and inviting. The patio is my favorite, it's constructed out of cobblestone, and has an outdoor fireplace, heaters and is partially covered. I've never had a bad meal here. The Pasta Rosa is a favorite (and you can now get it with shrimp). The Gnocchi are like delicate pillows, and has small mozzarella balls in the sauce that are slightly melted to perfection. They have a good wine selection and delicious Italian desserts-, try the lemon cake. It is divine.

The food was okay, but definitely far from the excellent dishes that are served at the My. Lebanon location. I expected better quality. I had eggplant parmesan, which was very oily and otherwise relatively tasteless. Wine was good and dessert was delicious. Probably going to find a more authentic Italian dinner spot next time.

We came in for dinner with our girls and my mom. All of our food was delicious! The zucchini strips were lightly breaded, airy, and not at all greasy. Our waiter recommended we get the pizza bread for the girls, it's not even on the menu. It was a hit with everyone! Including our picky little eater. The Pizza was excellent, the pasta was delicious. The atmosphere was great and the service was top notch. We're already planning our next trip back! Oh, and the tiramisu ranked near the best I've had in many years. Slightly heavy handed with the cocoa powder, but overall very good.
