"Walked in on a cool rainy June night and would have walked right out again if not for the weather. Reason for my apprehension was the big tv's behind the bar and the sparse number of patrons, oh and the decor. Very formulaic, felt like I was in an airport restaurant waiting for a flight. I just expected it to be swankier. the menus were a bit sticky and then the waiter came over to tell us about the really cheap bar drinks and pitchers...I really wanted it to book it out of there. I looked around and saw that every table was filled with early 20 somethings drinking pitchers. I was hungry and so was my husband who told me I was acting a bit spoiled. we stayed. and wow!!! the food was terrific!! really enjoyed every bite. yum. we will be back"

"The pizzas are always crispy, the salads and apps are creative and the service is consistently solid. The evening we went recently featured half price wine bottles as the Leaf game was on! How great was that....."

"I know, it seems crazy. But it's amazing. Piola's gnochi is not heavy at all, and they pass around with 10+ flavors for degustation."

"We loved everything about our visit at Piola. The chef came out to meet us and ask how our meals were and we had a wonderful chat. It showed he cared and our server Allysia was one of the best we have encountered. She was attentive, happy, easy to talk to and just an overall lovely lovely person.The food was fabulous!!!!"

"Piola is quickly becoming a favorite! The food is great, service is friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere is relaxed. Great for a night out with your significant other or for a group of friends. All you can eat Gnocchi is amazing - you can sample 10 different sauces in 1 evening (just make sure to pace yourself!). Roka Cabana salad is fantastic and large enough to share. Carpaccio Aida is very good and the pizzas are great! They also have awesome specials throughout the week to make a night out more affordable."

"The aesthetic of the restaurant is a bit confused and not typical of Queen West, but who cares with Pizza that delicious!
The prices are great and they have nightly drink specials."
