I absolutely love the atmosphere of this restaurant, but had only ever been here for happy hour drinks and apps. I had the chance to dine with a dear friend from college last week while she was in town, and I will definitely be back for more! We went on a Wednesday evening and while I had made a reservation, it may not have been necessary. It wasn't empty, but there were still a few small tables that sat vacant during our meal. The ambiance can't be beat and it'd be perfect for a cozy date night.
My friend and I hadn't seen each other since graduating college (8 years ago, eek!) so we had a LOT of catching up to do. Our waitress was understanding and gave us plenty of time to gab before asking for our dinner selections. I appreciated that she was attentive while not being intrusive.
As for our food, so many of the pizzas caught my eye but I ended up settling on the Linguine Veneziana which was to die for. Shrimp, zucchini, tomatoes, pesto... heavenly!! The portion was generous and I took about half of it home in a doggie bag. My friend ordered the gnocchi and enjoyed her meal as well. Our food was served quickly and we were promptly offered refills of our wine. Overall this was a wonderful dining experience and Pizzaiolo Primo will be at the top of my short list next time I need a place to go downtown.
