“We ordered dinner this evening. My husband had a whole meatball hoagie. He said it was really good and has enough left over for another meal. I had a crispy chicken salad bit had a good variety of veggies and plenty of chicken. I also had a few breadsticks on the side. Everything was delicious.“

“THANK YOU! I always get pizza delivered, but accidentally hit pick-up last week. I called wondering where my pizza was, only to find out my mistake. I asked if I could switch to delivery and they said yes, it would probably be about 30 minutes…no problem. It was at my door in less than 10 minutes! Great customer service even though I was the one that made a mistake.“

“Awesome setting, food, and drinks! And the service was amazing! Thank you for a fun afternoon! We'll be back!“

“friendly staff as you were at home. We meet Nick and he is a great owner. Family owned business. check them out.“

“A group of 5 of us visited Dish last night and the meals were amazing. Grilled Squid, the best I have ever had. Where else can you find it not breaded and fried? Add to that their amazing sardines so fresh and good. Pasta Funghi another high. Exquisite detail to taste in every dish. The owners go way out of their way to make you feel welcomed and happy and very satisfied. A must visit when you are lucky enough to get a reservation though other friends have happily sat at the bar for dinner just to be there!! Kudos to Dish!“

“This location was recommended for a medical school reunion in Pittsburgh by our alumni association. The food was excellent and the portions very generous. We did the family style dining for a large group, and it was very well received. One of my Italian classmates sate the the Cacio e Pepe was the best that he had tasted outside of Milan. I would strongly recommend this location for really first rate Italian food and a great atmosphere“

“Great restaurant. Amazing full American Italian experience. Super staff!“

“First time dining at Senti. Not a big menu to choose from, but what you do get is quality. The apps were very good to start the evening and the dinners were excellent. Nice portions and very tasty. Drinks are very good and paired nicely with dinner. We will definitely be back.“

“My new favorite drink is a French 75. I pair it with baked olives, twice cooked fries and a margarita pizza. A favorite casual meal!“

“I came here with my dad and got the chicken piccata, which was delicious! It was served with assorted vegetables which I actually liked versus the pasta. We will be back!“

“Delicious food! Huge portions! Will be back!“

“At the time of writing this, Alta Via has an average rating of 3.7 and I cannot, for the life of me, fathom why. The food was fantastic and served quickly. The portions are generous, and the pricing for a half vs full is linear (half portion is exactly half the price) which is not typical-you’re usually charged a bit more than half in restaurants. Our service was great; Anna was attentive and took questions to help us navigate the menu. The atmosphere is just right with respect to volume and very tidy. Somehow they made the seating comfortable yet fine and all pleasing to the eye. The pricing is deeply reasonable-our meal would have been $100 if not for the wine bottle, and that’s an appetizer, four half portion entrees, and desert. The food is creative, and entrees have been crafted carefully and thoughtfully. Frankly, it’s just way too nice to be that close to a Primantis.“

“We had a memorial luncheon there and the food was fantastic! Our waitress was wonderful!!! ☆☆☆☆☆“

“Excellent food and service at Fox Chapel location . My first time here busy Saturday crowd Gabby was a wonderful bar server actually excellent. I had Bruschetta salad which I highly recommend Over any other“

“First visit this weekend. Had their pizza which was great…but the cannolis! Best I have ever had. I will now have to stop by every time I’m in the ‘burgh. Definite 5 stars“

“Hands down best place to eat in western PA. Bob, owner, is a gem. Feels like family when you go there. He treats my son like his own. Support the locals forever“

“My wife and I had the pleasure of dining here this weekend. It was unbelievable! The service ,menu and quality of food was outstanding.“

“Was very surprised, because the establishment is small. The food was excellent. I had arugula salad with vinaigrette and Chicken Parmesan. I wanted every last desert behind the glass counter. No bad choices! I chose cannoli, my wife had the tiramisu 😋“

“Delicious mezza rigatoni in Neopolitan meat sauce“

“Awesome small restaurant in the Strip. Exactly what we were looking for to celebrate our anniversary-cozy, calm, super tasty. I also think price is genuinely super worth it - $45 per person for 2 courses + tip is crazy. First course comes a bit small as expected, but second course was surprisingly filling. Scallops were great, duck pappardelle was super rich, sausage ragu was very flavorful. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a small restaurant that knows what it’s doing. Even treated us to glasses of sparkling wine on the house!“

“We have been going to Piccolo Forno for years. It is my favorite restaurant. The staff is outstanding. The food is creative and menu items are changed regularly to make use of seasonal ingredients. There are so many delicious choices on the menu that it is difficult to decide what to order. The food is reasonably priced and the corkage fee is less than most restaurants. This restaurant is a gem for anyone who loves delicious Italian food!“

“This place is absolutely incredible! From the cool modern atmosphere (and great music) to the impeccable food with flavor so amazing I’ve never tasted anything like it before. I highly recommend the spicy meatballs as an appetizer and the baby carrots as a side dish. It was so nice being able to view the chefs cooking in the open kitchen from the dining room. Dominic our server was 10/10 and certainly added to this wonderful experience.

Can’t wait to return! :)“

“Great food and cocktails! Cauliflower dip is amazing!“

“my boyfriend and i tried pelegrino’s after we got sent a menu from them in the mail. we each got a pizza, and the cost was INCREDIBLY lower than the other pizza places we’ve ordered from. they deliver as well, which is nice. what i also appreciate about pelegrino’s is the option for online ordering, which allows me to pay & tip so i don’t have to fumble whenever the delivery comes. it takes some time, but it’s always worth the wait; we’ve never been disappointed!! this is our go to pizza spot!!“

“What a surprise! My daughter chose this for her moving away dinner…we had never been there so wasn’t sure what we would get… it was absolutely delicious! It’s a very rare occasion that you find a restaurant that can properly cook seafood, especially mussels and scallops…. They did a fantastic job. Our server Alexis W. was awesome as well!“

“It’s been awhile - but the food was just as awesome as I remembered!“

“Staying at a hotel in town, utilized Uber eats since my truck and trailer are not restaurant friendly. Ordered lasagna. WOW. Best lasagna I’ve had in a long time. Good mix of sauce, meat, noodles, and cheese.“

“Food was ok. They're giving less sauce for the pasta especially the fettuccine Alfredo. Everything was good though. The server was amazing. I give them credit. The food industry can be as tough as retail. I'll definitely keep going back. They could lower the prices a bit though. Almost $17 for noodles with Alfredo sauce on them is a bit crazy to me.

Kid-friendliness: The server was a man( nothing wrong with that). He was very sweet to my baby that broke his wrist. I can't remember his name but he was awesome.“

“We stopped here with my son and his fiancé to plan food for their reception and eat. It’s their favorite restaurant. The food was yummy, our server was excellent, and we got our catering squared away! They chose Olive Garden since there is a great variety for vegetarians and carnivores. Her side is all vegetarians, while ours is primarily carnivores. The pasta stations worked great for this! Plus, the lasagna is an add on vegetarian option. Plenty of salad and breadsticks and the menu was set perfectly!
The day of the wedding the food arrived on time, was set-up for us, and was hot and delicious! They were outstanding!

Vegetarian options: My daughter-in-law and her entire family are vegetarians, while my son and our side are not. Olive Garden works great for both the vegetarians and the carnivores! Everyone loved the food, had great choices, and plenty to eat!“

“I’ve been lived around this place but never get a chance to order. I’m glad I tried to take out today. Everything is awesome. Mussels are big size, fresh and delicious. Wedding soup is phenomenal. Sausage flatbread and meatballs are delicious too. Would definitely come back! They have dog friendly patio too.“

“Get the shells, that’s all you need to know! Perfection!“

“The food and service were sooo amazing!!!!“

“Stopped by there yesterday (4/20) on a humbug just for drinks and found my new favorite Italian restaurant!!! Everything about my experience was perfect. Everyone was so nice. The restaurant is beautiful. The meatballs were amazing! I had the best scallops I’ve ever had in my entire life! And I had the best cup of coffee I’ve ever had!!! Can’t wait to go back!! They get TEN STARS!!! Five ain’t enough!!“

“Quality of food excellent. Couldn't stop eating the warm garlic bread . Absolute enjoyment from beginning to end of meal. Staff friendly and attentive. Top notch experience!

Kid-friendliness: Treated our children with kindness“

“Hands down best pizza on Route 8 without question. Generational family owned pizza shop who remember their customers like close friends or family. All of the food is great, however the Primavera pizza is a personal favorite along with the Italian or steak hoagies. The Grande Special Sicilian is an absolute wonder, the cheese reseals the cut if you get what I’m saying. I was coming to you guys as a kid when you were in the strip mall across 8, super happy when I get to have a friendly chat picking up the food!

“Such delicious food, great service & such a nice atmosphere. The salads, Vegetable Lasagna & Spaghetti and Meatballs are delicious. The Tarts & biscotti are really good. We will definitely be back again.“

“The service. Specifically, Jake the server. He was superlative. His attention to detail was way beyond expectations. He brought my companions food and apologized saying he'd sent mine back because he thought it was too dark. My mozzarella sticks arrived golden, crisp, and perfect. Such a dedication to excellence in standards can't go unacknowledged. Attentive and friendly. Praiseworthy indeed.“

“The food here is TO DIE FOR!!! And the service is awesome“

“Found this place living at children’s hospital, everyday I just wanted to leave and go here. Never knew what the menu would be like you would just have to go and see for yourself. Something new always. My husband swears they have the best wedding soup hands down. Im completely obsessed with the carrot cake and I will never be able to go or get it anywhere else. Best carrot cake ever! The staff and owner are super friendly and very easy to talk to. Need a laugh they chuckle and make the day a little brighter. I wish this place was a little closer to home we have Maria’s dinner every other night. We will definitely be back and can’t thank you all enough for everything the last few weeks. Sam & Day.“

“This Monte Cello's is absolutely wonderful! I frequently order from here, mostly delivery. They have a meat sauce that is addictive. I always order double meat sauce, it's that good. Every time I call, every person has been friendly, polite and professional. Deliveries are usually done in less time than quoted. I highly recommend this restaurant.“
