I read some of the reviews and found them to be odd and not my experience at all. I have now been here a couple of times and really enjoyed it. The food is delicious. I've had the fungi pizza, Bianca pizza, penne à la vodka with shrimp, and the frute de mare salad. All were excellent! Came here on a Wednesday night after the sweet bartender told me about the live music. What a great experience and ambiance ! My friends really loved it you. I'll definitely return. read more

I am going to give this place five stars because I genuinely thought the food, atmosphere and beverages were wonderful. My husband and I came in on a Thursday and were able to snag a couple bar spots. Service took a little while but once they did approach us, the bartenders were very pleasant. We ordered the crab/artichoke dip ( TO DIE FOR). It was perfectly seasoned and had actual jumbo lump crab that paired perfectly with soft yet crispy pita bread. I ordered the Bistecca and my husband ordered the Fet Alfredo with crispy chicken. Beautifully prepared regarding taste and presentation (pictured). I ordered a dirty gin martini which the lady executed flawlessly. The only downfall while dining, I did notice some people at the bar waiting patiently (and at times for while) for their checks , boxes, etc. The attentiveness on the service could be better, though I am saying this from a bar patron point of view. As a former bartender, my eyes were always on the patrons to ensure I was one step ahead of service, so I have an eye for these types of things. That being said, I do want to emphasize that were great when service was on point. We will be back. read more

Tried the Cacio E Pepe instead of their pizza. Should have stayed with a sure thing. The pasta was too salty and dense. Added some marinara from the zucchini planks which helped with the salt but all in all not a very enjoyable meal. read more

Located on Rt 22 in Murrysville in the old Atrias. The exterior is nice with a patio for outdoor dining. Italian music is playing when you walk in. That's where the Italian atmosphere ends. The yellow decor reminded me of a McD's, I was looking for the playground! I expected a warm, cozy, inviting atmosphere, a "Bistro", Italian themed vibe especially considering the higher priced menu. The food was good, a lot made from scratch but overpriced. Our server/BT Lee Ann was awesome! VERY friendly and attentive, a pure delight. The manager behind the bar didn't look like he wanted to be there though, maybe it was because the bar setup seemed to be bass ackwards. It seemed to be crowded for a decent sized bar. With a blank canvas they had to work with it seems they dropped the ball. Other than the music and pizza oven it didn't scream Italian "Bistro" more like a fast food chain. I've been in the restaurant business for years so maybe my expectations are higher than others but I try to keep an open mind. It's definitely more affordable during Happy Hour to eat and drink but still it's easy to spend almost $100 for two people considering entrees are À la carte and a glass of wine costs $14. So they're forcing you to purchase a bottle. I wasn't impressed but may try again when my wallet allows. read more

We enjoyed the fried mozzarella and fried zucchini, both served with marinara sauce. Ordered the Doc, Funghi and Burrata. All delicious and cooked perfectly. But pricey for 6 cut pizza at about $20-25. This was plenty for the 3 of us. read more

As I've been to their Market Square location, I was excited to dine in a larger space. The acoustics were very loud and tables a bit close to maneuver around when full. Otherwise it was good for groups. There were several other tables of parties of 6 or more. It's located in a commercial plaza so the parking lot was quite full. My $30-entree included 6 large shrimp and in-house made pasta. It was delicious and filling. I was full from just eating my entire entree but others got desserts and I'd say the portion size was large enough for two people. Service was attentive. Our waitress offered us ice for our filtered tap water and I should have accepted as it was strangely warm. I also highly recommend reservations as it was quite busy after 5 o'clock on a Wednesday. read more

Went with my family for dinner. We got the zucchini and stuffed banana peppers to start! Then we split a few pizzas and a pasta. I really liked the noodles that the pasta was made with. The pizzas are a big expensive for the size!! read more

This was Atrias and opened 2 weeks ago...the waitstaff training was on spot...we sat at high tables, waited on immediately and ordered drinks then our dishes...quite a busy place but it was Saturday...couples...families...everyone had smiles on their faces and if their dishes were anything like my Calamari, I can see why... delicious...also tried a slice of their wood oven cheese pizza... yummy...only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because a gentleman can in holding a small dog and sat at bar and wasn't told to leave...this was not a service animal... read more

I've had a couple of very good meals there. My husband went there by himself a bit ago and raved about their pizza. Being a Sunday and no dinner planned, we opted for a takeout pizza. Their website says It takes 3-5 minutes so they wait until you're there to cook. It probably would have been better if they had. They confirmed my order would be 30 minutes. I was there at the 30 minute mark and our pizza was sitting at the hostess stand. When we opened it at home (we're only 1 mile away), it was pretty soggy and cold. I get trying to get an order done early, but if it's too early, it can ruin the food. We also ordered fried zucchini with marinara, which we discovered was missing after we arrived home. read more

Food was good. Zucchini was way too salty. Happy hour wine was excellent. Service at the bar needs attention. When I first walked in servers were all chatting, laughing, and seemed like they could care less that I was sitting at the bar. Finally bartender came over gave me menus and walked away. Other people walked in sat down and waited to be acknowledged. Finally got a drink. During happy hour there should be more than one inattentive bartender. Then the bar got busy and another gal showed up to help. This is my second time here with the same experience. Get your service up to par and this place might make it. read more

Great food, great service, and the restaurant is very nice. It is nice to have a meal here and be taken care of well!

We tried 3 different pizzas and each one was fantastic!!! Cheesecake and Chocolate Gelato were great. Great service and cocktails!!!

Went here after work to check it out and honestly was surprised with how decent the food was. It wasn't like the best ever on the world but it was better than average. My waiter was very nice and friendly, he even told me a way to get it the way it was because I have a small stomach and did have to take some food home. The atmosphere was on theme with the Italian Pizza Restaurant they are going for! Solid 4 stars read more

The atmosphere and food were good, but the service was lacking in attentiveness (server assigned to cover too many tables) and it was overpriced (common report for this restaurant). read more

Pizzaiola Primo recently opened in Murrysville so I thought I'd give it a try, but not impressed at all. We were served room temp water with no ice, the calamari was undercooked and took the term "chewy" to an entirely new level and our pizza was beyond burnt!! I was a bit surprised that the manager delivered the pizza to our table and even allowed the pizza to leave the kitchen. My husband ate a few slices but I basically ate the toppings off the pizza because the bottom and crust was completely black. I understand they may be still ironing out the kinks because they just opened but I doubt that we'll be back. read more

They are trying but they need to ramp it up. Biggest problem is inconsistency from food to the staff. I read a review that said Leann is great and she is. Amber was good and so was Madison although she didnt know the menu that well. The staff frequently hangs around the bar and of course the managers sit at the bar with their laptops. Occassionally the dishwasher comes out to the bar too with headphones on and draped in a dirty black plastic bag. I ordered an expensive fish dish one night but they were out of it even though it was early and not many people there. Again, it will be a great place if management kicks it up a notch and they are not so nonchalant about their service when their customers are racking up bills sometimes in excess of $50 or $100. A coat of paint on the men's room door would go a long way. read more

40 bucks for a 2 topping pizza and side ceaser salad with a water Maybe worth it to some

The place looks great, cute itialian bistro but some of the food is sub par. The meatballs while a good portion are mostly salt and not very memorable. The chicken was undercooked and rubbery, I didn't eat it. The dough for bread and breading is overly sweet. The prices are eye watering for what you get. I have not had any of the pizza so that may be OK, there was a lot of it getting served. I really wanted this place to work out, so few solid options in Murrysville. I will hold hope for whatever comes next in this spot.​ read more

Very noisy and expensive! Difficult trying to carry on a conversation. I know that's been the trend in a lot of restaurants wanting a loud atmosphere. Apparently that's supposed to cause you to eat more? Not for me. I want to relax in a casual atmosphere. read more

Where do I begin. I do have one thing that's good to say the environment. I love the white subway tile in the black and white ribbon floors. Service, adequate. Calamari was like rubber rings unfortunately. I was $19. And 11-in pizza with sausage was $23. $23 yes I said $23. I'm going to give a shot at cooking pizza at home now thank you. read more

Absolutely horrible. Food is way too expensive. Rude management. Barely finished inside. Just wow. Did NOT like it. I also know someone who applied for a job their and after saying they'd start the hiring process, they completely ghosted her. She emailed 5 times and got no response. Completely unprofessional! 0/10 do NOT recommend. read more

My husband and I went to eat on a Saturday around 3:30 in the afternoon and were not able to order coffee with our dinner. We were told the machine they had cost too much to run so they didn't offer coffee Saturday or Sunday. Don't know if we were told the truth but makes no sense and I would not come to this restaurant again. Food wasn't worth the price they charged either. I have to say it takes a lot for me to sign up for an account just so I can review a business. I feel better now. :) read more

Had a great Birthday dinner there. Seafood was fresh, crab dip appetizer was amazing how much lump crab meat was in it. There red sauce was very good, along with the brick oven pizza. Will definitely eat here again. Some people say it's a little pricey, but the quality of all the food shows you get what you pay for read more

So slow. Fourth visit. No improvement. The people are very nice. Just very very slow

I really wanted to love this new place. I will say the initial greeting was great. I was greeted immediatley at the door. The problem was we waited our entire dinner for a second drink. I like to have drink with my meal. The manager was very impersonal and unprofessional. She said oh I only have 2 bartenders, really on a Monday...your should be thankful. Not my problem. I waited 20 minutes for a drink and there were 2 people sitting at the bar at 6pm on a Monday. The pizza which I was told was the best, was a soggy mess!!! Lastly, I was told happy hour half off calamari and it was not afterall. The manager said oh, the server told you that....It's on the menu as half off. I would not recommend at all! Overpriced and not a good value. read more

Had dinner last night! Very noisy, tables are crammed together! Could not get in my seat and 10 minutes later I watched another couple go through the same thing. Our bill was wrong with several items on there that we did not have! Not a good experience and will not return for dinner for a long while! Food is good but not worth the noise and seating arrangements. read more

Very good service and food! We will be back soon! Very spacious inside, lots of options for seating.
