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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“Delicious and authentic cuisine cooked by a great chef with a superb staff. We will return!“

“The Market in Verona is so awesome. It is so great to go in and get good quality food that you can reheat at home. I recently got the Eggplant Parmesan, pasta and risotto balls. Everything was so delicious and enough for another dinner. My husband got the Chicken Parmesan and really enjoyed it also. The service at the Market is outstanding and it was so nice to also meet Andrew the owner. I am looking forward to coming back again and getting more of this high quality and delicious Italian Food that reminded me so much of what my Mommy used to make. I highly recommend them.“

“we were there last Thursday to celebrate my birthday and also my bfs as they are on the same day. we heard nothing but good things. Pasta was cold, filet not prepared correctly then given back to me burnt on the outside and raw on the inside. We were so very disappointed. $200 wasted and I walked away hungry. Really don't think we would ever try again. On to another top restaurant in the city.“

“Beans and Greens were the best I've ever had! Tomato Cream and Alfredo were great! The Muffaletta changed my life.“

“Had a wonderful experience today at Roman Bistro. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Our waiter David was terrific. I chose the perfect restaurant for my birthday lunch.“

“We had a fantastic dinner. The service was perfect and the manager, Jason, is more than accommodating. Made you feel right at home. 🤩🔥🤩“

“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!“

“great food, great service, and great employees!! highly recommend!!“

“First time dining at Ranucci's and it will not be the last. We were greeted by the owner upon arriving. Very friendly and very inviting. Our waiter was also very friendly and ver attentive. The food portions were very big and absolutely delicious. We started with a beet salad and it was so good. I had the CC's veal with crab cakes and my friend had the Sunday gravy. Both dishes were delicious and the red sauce on the Sunday gravy was out of this world. We had a tiramisu for dessert and again, it was outstanding. For a nice evening out, give them a try.“

“My son and I had dinner for Mother’s Day. Our first experience at this restaurant. Aside from a small miscommunication where the side dishes were delivered to the table alongside the apps, everything was very good. They corrected the sides and delivered fresh with the entrees, the sides were easily large enough to share amongst three or four people and the food was very good. The app, sides and entrees, as well as the gluten free chocolate cake were all delicious. I definitely recommend this restaurant and plan to return.“

“This place has become our go-to place for Italian food in the city! Each time we go, it’s incredible! The atmosphere is unique as it sits inside an old, historical home in the north side. The recently updated bar and lounge is a great spot for a pre-dinner cocktail.

The meatballs and arancini are such of favorite appetizers. And, we also mix and match with the pasta and protein dishes. The lemon chicken is incredible, as is the gnocchi. We recently tried the veal and it’s the best we have EVER had. 10/10 all around! ❤

Knowing the beautiful past and the family history makes this place even better! We hope it stays around for years to come!“

“Stellar Italian street cuisine. Love the diavolo sauce and probably the best meatballs I’ve had. Many more dinners await 🤤“

“Great food!! Great service!!“

“Updated 31 July 2026:
We had a gift cart. Everything was very good and the breadsticks at no longer flat but are round like they used to be. The first batch were a bit under baked, but the 3nd was great.
Waitress was exceptional.

It was a toss- up between 5 stars and 3 so I'm going with 4. It would've been 5, but WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ONCE DELICIOUS BREADSTICKS?!?! They used to be single sticks, round and buttered. Today, they were flat/stuck together without ANY seasoning or butter, and VERY DRY. I hope someone just messed up & today's BREADSTICKS aren't the norm.“

“Haven’t had a bad meal yet!!!“

“We (PTO) used Sprezzatura to cater our meal for teachers before our schools Open House, and everything was wonderful! Menu selections included: • Gemelli with Homemade Meat Sauce – twisted pasta served with a rich, slow-simmered sauce • Cavatappi with Creamy Pesto – corkscrew pasta tossed in a vibrant basil pesto sauce The food servings were plentiful, the aroma was inviting, and the dishes were bright, fresh, and full of flavor. You could truly taste the quality of the ingredients. Jen was excellent with communication throughout the process, making everything smooth and easy. We would definitely recommend Sprezzatura for your catering needs!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“first time there ever and I know it's been there for years. EXCELLENT food and really nice friendly staff. This place makes you feel at home and I never feel that way anywhere anymore! Thank you!“

“I have coming to this great Pizza and Italian restaurant since it was on Saltsburg rd. one thing I can say over the years is the Consistency has stayed the same, The food is excellent. If you want a good Italian meal its the place to go? Or on the go.“

“My husband and I have been going to the Village Inn for many years now. Everything we have eaten there has been so delicious from sandwiches to great Italian Food . My favorite is the stuffed crabmeat mushroom appetizer, bruschetta and Chicken Romano. The meatballs and pasta are so good. My favorite dessert is the Tiramisu. I highly recommend the Verona Village Inn.“

“Visited this morning for the first time. Got egg and cheese sandwiches, one croissant one ciabatta - both were amazing!! The lattes were delicious and rich. You can really taste the quality of the espresso. They were short staffed (1 employee who was grinding hard!) so I did wait about 25 minutes for two coffees and sandwiches. I didn’t mind that much and it was well worth the wait. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Made reservations; had to wait a bit to be noticed at entrance. Not very busy on a Tuesday evening. Would go back for delicious food, but waitress rushed us at every course. Zucchini app was served fast. Wine cork fee $5. Dinner salad was very small, but dinners; veal Marsala & chicken piccata was generous & delicious. Seemed there was a staffing shortage, waitress was catering to party of 12 celebrating a bday. Had to practically beg for a dessert & coffee. I asked for a coffee refill; waitress replied do you want to wait on a new pot as she took my cup & saucer from me. for @ 20 patrons in restaurant it was noisy. Family atmosphere with white table clothed tables. Good parking. Would go back for food, hoping not getting same rude waitress.“

“We really enjoyed our meal and service with Elle. I did however find it strange on a not busy week night the hostess sat everyone upstairs extremely close together. She even second guessed sitting a couple right beside our party yet still did it with the entire upstairs open, this makes sense if it’s busy. Would still return for the meal. We enjoyed the focaccia, chicken Parmesan, stuffed shelled and cocktails.“

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

“The best! Had the chicken Romano.. hands down the best Italian food I’ve had in the area. Great, friendly service too“

“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!“

“Amazing! I finally made the burrata raviolis I ordered and there wasn’t one left over! So fresh and so delicious and they puffed up perfectly!“

“10 out of 10 would recommend! Always a good meal“

“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 😋“

“We had a fantastic dinner. The service was perfect and the manager, Jason, is more than accommodating. Made you feel right at home. 🤩🔥🤩“

“Delicious mezza rigatoni in Neopolitan meat sauce“

“Pizza is very good“

“Great service - Great food“

“Love the concept of this restaurant / bookshop where you can peruse before or after. I personally would enjoy reading with a glass of wine or cup of coffee and some snacks, but I digress.

Had a solo dinner and the service was attentive and kind, though when busy the visits became less frequent and at longer intervals. Excellent cocktail and wine list. I had a little bit of everything from the dinner menu but found my two pastas to be under seasoned and on the cold side (I like it piping hot). The dessert just didn’t do it for me; the texture was both gritty and mushy and way too tart.

I did enjoy my time but for the money spent, I think I rather put it toward new books.“
