Inge TomlinFebruary 27, 2011Everything is always excellent here. Just be prepared for a wait during peak hours and a bouyant atmosphere. Not a quiet date spot but amazing food. BYOB & wine list available
Chris SmithMarch 25, 2016Had an amazing seafood dish with crushed tomato sauce and lemon aioli; highly recommended. Creative and flavorful dishes here and great portion size for the price.
Debbie Schrecongost-KupasFebruary 23, 2014Excellent pasta fagiole ! All three of our entrees were outstanding. One pasta , one fish and one chicken. I don't think you can make a wrong choice. Very Good experience
Joanne MurphyNovember 10, 2015I loved this place! The ambiance and the food are very classic and it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
Akshay GNovember 10, 2015Some of the most authentic Italian food in Pittsburgh. They welcome off-menu requests - the Chicken Alfredo is excellent.
Mollie GannonMay 22, 2018This place never disappoints. Terrific wines, great service....and the pasta dishes are fantastic.
Cosette EliasonDecember 23, 2016Great for dates or special occasions. The food is okay and overpriced (NYC prices). However, for Pittsburgh, it's definitely way above average and a good option if you're looking for something nice.- They now have a liquor license with cocktail list so you can booze while you enjoy the best Italian food in Pittsburgh!

DaveFebruary 1, 2015Tough to get a table, even when you've got a reservation. Cozy and the food's decent.
Mary Ellen WamplerSeptember 29, 2017A true family owned and operated business. Excellent food & service!
Joel MontgomeryJanuary 18, 2013Really accommodating to small children! Ordered a kid sized penne for my 19 month old and they asked if we wanted it ASAP before our own food!
They take "reservations" which don't guarantee you a table. But awesome food.
Shane BAugust 7, 2014The spaghetti w/ corn, mozzarella & tomatoes is incredible. The flavor combination is good, but the dish is extremely garlicky. You'll be exhaling garlic for hours after eating it. But it's worth it.
Ariel DMay 25, 2014The best food in all of Pittsburgh. My favorite restaurant by far. I've never ordered a single thing that wasn't enjoyable. Plus, get serenaded one on one by a fantastic Italian singer!
Melis HaghgouiSeptember 12, 2013Food is overrated. They are OK. So so so hot, and so so so loud. Not a romantic spot for sure!
- AerieFebruary 22, 2012This small and charming restaurant offers the most authentic Italian food in all of Pittsburgh. Perfect for a date night or a get together with friends.- Mandy, Marketing Coordinator
