    I had the absolute pleasure of being served by Sierra at Aqua Pazzo, and she truly made our dining experience unforgettable. From the moment we sat down, she was warm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. She helped us pick the perfect dishes and even recommended a wine pairing that complemented our meal beautifully. Sierra’s attention to detail and genuine care for her customers were evident throughout the evening. She checked in at just the right moments, ensuring everything was perfect without ever feeling intrusive. Her upbeat attitude and radiant smile added so much positivity to our evening. Aqua Pazzo is lucky to have such a gem on their team. If you have the chance to dine here, ask for Sierra—you won’t be disappointed!

    Excellent overall experience! Delicious food and great service. Nice bistro feel. Maybe a bit expensive but I think almost all restaurants are overpriced these days. Highly recommended.

    Our favorite Sunday is a matinee and then pizza at Fox Chapel Mercurio's. Yesterday we enjoyed seeing our server, Gianna. She is so friendly and professional. We enjoyed our favorite pizzas--Del Re and Margherita followed by gelato. Best pizza in town!
