My friends and I chose Il Pizzaiolo for our annual mother/daughter dinner this year. During college, we started a tradition that once a year we get together (four friends and each of our moms) to eat yummy food and catch up with each other. Seeing as this was our fifth mother/daughter dinner and our past four years had all been wonderful choices, we wanted to make sure we kept up with the streak. Fortunately, we were successful yet again! We were seated upstairs, which had a very nice atmosphere! The windows kept the room very light and the volume was low enough that we were able to talk to each other comfortably. We had heard poor reviews about the service, but we did not have any problems. Our waiter was very helpful and knowledgeable of the menu. He moved at a more relaxed pace, but because we were so busy catching up, the pace was perfect for us. The food was pricey, but it was delicious! There were so many items on the menu that I wanted to try, but I decided to order the spinach ricotta gnocchi (the special pasta of the day for Wednesdays on their menu) and I loved it! It was a decent portion, but I wanted more! Everyone at the table enjoyed their meal. We were also all happy with our drinks! I would definitely recommend to others in the mood for good Italian food.
