| - Il Pizzaiolo means the pizza maker, in Italian. Well, let me tell you that our pizza maker (Il Pizzaiolo restaurant in downtown Mt. Lebanon) has some pretty extraordinary food selections and spectacular brick-oven pizza. The rustic atmosphere and the intimate summer patio complement the restaurant, while the chic wine bar gives it a modern edge.
Il Pizzaiolo is our favorite Italian restaurant in the Pittsburgh area and before I really started cooking at home it was our every other day go-to restaurant. We are still fascinated by their commitment to always serve excellent authentic Italian food. Il Pizzaiolo is so devoted to using the best ingredients available that they get their mozzarella di bufala straight from Napoli, Italy, every week. They also hand-make their own pasta, meatballs, sweet fennel sausage, etc...
Some of our favorite items on the menu are the Antipasto Napoli, a delicious mixture of roasted vegetables drizzled with golden extra virgin olive oil; the light and at the same time hearty Prosciutto e Arugula Pizza; and the superb drunken pasta also known as Penne alla Vodka as listed on the menu. Please check my full review to learn more about Il Pizzaiolo and the other 13 exquisite dishes, lunch sandwiches and drinks with pictures that we've ordered during our many visits to Il Pizzaiolo, such as Vitello alla Milanese, Antipasto Misto or Linguine alle Vongole to name just a few:
