Everything 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

Had 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.

Excellent 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

Some of the most authentic Italian food in Pittsburgh. They welcome off-menu requests - the Chicken Alfredo is excellent.

This place never disappoints. Terrific wines, great service....and the pasta dishes are fantastic.

Great 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!

Sauteed chicken breast with marsala & grilled beef fillet are delicious. Medium rare. Melts in your mouth. <3 risotto.

Tough to get a table, even when you've got a reservation. Cozy and the food's decent.

Really 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.

Try the pumpkin ravioli when its in season, delicious!!

The 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.

Try the daily specials. Service and food are great here.
Ariel DMay 25, 2014
The 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!

Spinach and Ricotta Ravioli!!!
Melis HaghgouiSeptember 12, 2013
Food is overrated. They are OK. So so so hot, and so so so loud. Not a romantic spot for sure!
Guillaume R.January 11, 2018
Basic Italian-american. Not worth a visit at all.
Andrew StephenSeptember 17, 2011
Very unorganized when busy. Be prepared for confusion and chaos
