February 3/2025: Dinner with the Fifth Wheel Travelers…read more This was a solid meal. Our server "Nico" was a super pleasant fellow that worked very hard to provide great table service, albeit just a dash slow. I think it was a kitchen issue. The ambiance was casual but still nice. Crushed stone floor for this indoor/outdoor restaurant. Restaurant served no charge table bread with dips. The food was delicious. I had the off-menu fettuccine Alfredo ($190p) with Ham & Mushrooms (they forgot the mushrooms)? Even without the mushrooms it was delicious. This is a definite do over.

The dishes are authentic to Italy, and in my own personal experiences traveling there, better than most restaurants you can afford let alone find, in Italy. Multiple attendants serve you - we didn't have a moment without hydration or service. They were very attentive and very professional. Also, we had a great table in the back, for our group of 9. Before I end this review I have to give my extreme props to this place- for getting Italian food right!! Every dish I took a bite of, I wanted to cry. This is how it's meant to be- Italian food AND eating out at a restaurant. The espresso at the end - made me cry. So perfect.

I ordered a half pasta with grilled chicken on the side since I'm not that hungry. It was really good and tasty. We also ordered pepperoni pizza & squid for sharing which were equally enjoyable.

It's in a great location which makes it quite easy to grab a quick glass of wine and people watch. They did some nice upgrades in decor and added more TV's. The chairs at the bar are not designed for comfort though so it's hard to just relax since you feel like you are sitting crammed straight up. Minor inconvenience though. They push Veuve Clicquot heavily here with advertising everywhere but most places are like that. They probably have a deal with their vendor for that. The wine list is solid and the bartenders are very friendly.

Nice setting in busy part of town, nice indoor/outdoor seating, good but not great service, nice wine list. The salmon was good but not exceptional. Menu too broad for my taste which usually means quality suffers on the fringes. Come here for the setting and the fresh pasta.

Then a bus-boy took away our menus and our plates. OK. I guess we've had enough bread? We memorized our orders. The server came and we recited our orders. He noticed that the busboy removed our bread plates and got us another. The food arrived. It was delicious, but my steak was the wrong one. I told the server. He asked if I wanted it replaced. I said no, because it's delicious. There was a price difference between the 2 steaks. I didn't think they were actually going to charge me for the upgrade, but they did. My husband's bass was excellent. Our sides as well. Our server and the other 2 staff who helped were very sweet, but I didn't need all that bussing. We sat outside which was great. I'd go back for sure.

Cute restaurant on 38th!!!…read more I came here last night because Piola is near my AirBnb and I wanted an espresso martini after a long day of work. Luis was the bartender who helped me and he was super nice and made a fantastic espresso martini!!! I had three espresso martinis and it tasted great!!! I wasn't going to get any food but I sat in the middle of two people who ordered pizzas and the pizza looked really good. Before heading out I ordered a small brooklyn pizza and the bianco verde pasta. Both the pizza and the pasta were wonderful!!! The brooklyn pizza consists of chicken, broccoli, and blue cheese. I am not usually a blue cheese fan but the blue cheese worked on the pizza. Yummy!!! The bianco verde pasta consists of chicken, broccoli, and cream sauce. It was also very good. I think I might be back tonight or within the week to get myself a couple more espresso martinis and food!!!

January 13/2025: Dinner with Al/Clem/Red…read more This was an alright dinner with a goodish ambiance. The server "Moses" was a very nice, polite & patient fellow. He delivered solid service, 5-Star. It rained during our meal so that did have an impact. As for the meal...it was a 3-Star at best. My appie was Bruschetta Pastorall ($147P). It was hot in flavour & decent tasting as well. My main was Chicken Parmesan with a creamy spaghetti ($379p + $75p for the spaghetti). They were good but not great. They SHOULD have been great for a $31.50 Cdn entree. And even though I asked in writing to have the meal extra hot...it was barely warm enough to NOT send back to the kitchen. This seems to be where most restaurants in the area drop the ball...taste & food temperature. Even though I ranked this a 4-star it's not really one...it's more like a 3.5. I doubt I'd come back here.

There is a hyped up "pitch man" standing outside encouraging people off the street to come in. He told me he could make a special that included a drink of "whatever I wanted" well since I was thinking of pizza anyway I decided to give it a try. I decided on a glass of Cabernet and even though it wasn't on the menu, a mixed salad. The waiter couldn't have been sweeter, he was very accommodating. I also asked for water and I noticed the waiter poured the water from a bottled water. I didn't question and assumed (u know the saying about a-ss-uming) that they just used bottled water since he didn't say anything. The mixed salad was simple but a nice size. I also ordered a margarita pizza. Well the pizza was just a cheese pizza with three pieces of basil. I asked for more basil and the waiter did bring a side of basil for me. This was really bad bland pizza! It reminded me of a frozen Digiorno and that was even being generous! When I received my bill...surprise! No special, it was only if you ordered 2 pizzas. Oh and also a tip was added on. I didn't mind the tip because honestly the waiter had nothing to do with the crappy food. I had heard that there was great pizza in Playa but this was NOT it! Not only was it my crappiest meal in Playa it was my most expensive!! Almost 30.00! And yep a-ss-uming, I was charged for the water. On my next visit to Playa, I will definitely avoid this place.
