Well, well, well….maybe they didn’t read our review after all! Went back to Il Pizzaiolo again this weekend (did I mention that I am obsessed?) and EVERYTHING’S CHANGED!!! Well, not everything, but they changed the menu, both in items and in structure. What’s changed? Brace yourself… (more…)

Well we just went to Il Pizzaiolo again this week, and it’s like they read our review or something! In any case it seemed that way, as two very specific notes I had mentioned in my original First-Time Review were addressed on this particular trip. (more…)

Pasta – I could literally eat it every night. After moving to the ‘Burgh, I complained for the first 7 years that there wasn’t a decent Italian pasta place around. I tried Alexander’s Pasta Express, Mariani’s Pleasure Bar, Anna’s Ravioli Board, the place it was before it was Anna’s, Gran Canal Caffe, Pizzuti, Pasta Piatta, Piccolo Forno, Pino’s (both locations), Pi, Lidia’s and others. I am quite serious in saying that none of them can hope to compare to Il Pizzaiolo. Both Girasole and Cucina Flagrea are pretty excellent, and I would always default to either if I wanted to stay in the city, but I’m afraid that if you think you are in utter love with Girasole or Cucina Flagrea, you just haven’t tried Il Pizzaiolo yet. (NOTE: there is also Vivo but it is sort of a special place above and beyond, and since it does not specialize in pasta it is not listed here) (more…)
