Finally able to enjoy the great food at this wonderful restaurant.  The good news -- which, from the recent reviews, isn't really news -- is that PF now takes reservations for parties of five or more.  Our group -- six -- didn't know that, but we were there early on a Friday night (6.00p) so we were able to get seated within 15 minutes.\n\nMy wife and I love Italian food and we CRAVE fresh-made food in restaurants (not the pre-cooked, bagged, frozen and steamed stuff served as the chain restaurants or delivered by food service companies to local bars).  We found BOTH at PF.  \n\nWe ordered a couple of appetizers: the bruschetta and the cheese/salami plate.  Both were fine, about what you'd expect in any of the local Italian eateries.  \n\nSalads and soup followed.  The salads were delicious.  Fresh greens, tasty house dressing.  The carrot soup was spot-on good.  \n\nFor entrees, we ordered a variety of dishes.  A friend selected the eggplant salad as an entree.  I'm not a fan of eggplant, but she loved it.  Several pasta dishes appeared on the table.  The pastas were cooked perfectly, the variety of ingredients in each dish were not \"mashed\" together but retained their individual flavors.  I ordered the prosciutto/arugula pizza (I know, boring!) and was surprised to finally see authentic Italian pizza in Pittsburgh.   Just like the pizza I get when I'm in northern Italy.  \n\nA couple of desserts hit the table, but I didn't try them.  \n\nI love the business model at PF: fair prices for the food and BYOB.  We walked out of there on Friday having spent only $30 per person (including a 20% tip) plus the cost of a bottle of wine that each couple brought from home.  \n\nI've seen the complaints about noise.   Honestly, we found that part of the charm of the place.  It also allowed us to be as raucous as we wanted to be.  \n\nI'm so glad we finally made it for dinner.  We'll be going again, soon.  And I scoped out the Round Corner Cantina across the street.  If we go there and have a bit of a wait in the future, we'll go to the Cantina and have a drink.
