   We were seated upstairs and the noise level was conducive to our conversation. The fried rice balls and the banana peppers were excellent antipasto selections. I had the Tagliatelle Bolognese entree which was very tasty. Everyone in our party enjoyed the meal and we look forward to having dinner there again soon and trying the pizza. They serve cane sugar Coke and Sprite which is a great addition.

   Great evening with another couple, but unfortunately PP fell short. The bartender was obviously overwhelmed and scattered which kind of set the tone as we sat down. Getting a drink was a challenge. Hoping that’s not her normal behavior and that maybe she was doing too many things due to short staffing. If this is her norm, eek! We literally said to her, is it possible to order a drink from you? It was like pulling teeth to get them. And then, she requested that we take our drinks upstairs to the table we were early for bc it was just easier to keep their reservations moving. Um ok? Upon arriving upstairs we breathed a sigh of relief when we met our server Felecia. She saved the evening! There were 2 couples at our table and she kept drinks and water filled; appetizers arrived with enough time to enjoy before our food arrived. The guys entrees were good, ours were not. Mine was an extremely bland pasta choice and the other was a caprese chicken that added red peppers instead of tomato. Very odd! We’re not in Pittsburgh often so the meal was disappointing for the ladies , but time spent together made it all worthwhile. Sadly PP won’t be a choice the next time we’re in town. But Felecia? What an awesome young woman and server!!!

   Great service from a great waiter! We loved the food. The Brussel Sprouts were outstanding. The Branzino is always wonderful. The chicken with Frangelico cream sauce was excellent as well. Quiet ambience and the ability to talk to others at the table. A great evening! Love this place!

   Try again next time. I really wish we had maybe a better team as it is usually very good. That’s why we came down for my wife’s birthday with our friends from out of town.

   We dined here before a PPT performance. The service was prompt, courteous, and engaging. Everything we ordered was well prepared. I ordered the Branzino which is a mild fish and it was prepared simply with butter and lemon. Nothing overwhelming to hide the fish's flavor. My only complaint which is minor was the broccolini was a bit over cooked. All in all a great meal and a good value.
