    Still a favorite. This time the my daughter’s mussels were a bit off but they replaced them no question asked. The oyster supreme are an amazing explosion of flavors, the tartar with truffle infused caviar and the bone marrow are a real treat, and the mushroom capuccino soup is so intensely good!! Gotta love this place

    One of our favorite restaurants in Oakland. Every time we go, Pizzaiolo always wows us with their food. They have a rotating seasonal menu, but if you are lucky enough to be there the same day they have their meatballs, you will not regret ordering them. So good! I always seek out less spirit forward drinks from their bar since they can be quite strong, but any server we have has been more than willing to help us out. And save room for desert - never disappointed!
