17 Best Italian Restaurants near Belle Vernon

“Pizza is really good! My husband likes it there with the new owners, they are doing a good job taking over. However the Parmesan garlic bites were sooo spicy and bitter, tasted like eating a straight glove, but my husband is a pure Italian so he ate them. Thank you!“

“The art and photos of the pizzas drew me in! The place is filled with the art, and you get filled with the pizza. It's a good situation.

I got my pizza with no cheese, and I'd do it here again! The usual cheesy pizzas look good, too, so I doubt you can go wrong.“

“I had my mother's celebration of life at La Eda's and it was perfect. Karla was so easy to work with. Had a personalized menu for guests to choose from. We were able to choose 2-3 entrees fir guests to choose from. Service was excellent and the food was amazing. This was the perfect restaurant for our celebration! Thank you so much!“

“First time there today. I got their chicken Marsala and it was amazing! I swear every other restaurant I’ve gotten it at just doesn’t have the thickness right but this was perfect. 10/10. My fiance got the Ruben and he really enjoyed it also. Whatever mustard dip they serve with their chips is so good too! ♥️“

“My husband loved their Red Top Pizza, said it's definitely the best he's had so far. 💕 And the owners are so kind and friendly and you can tell they want to connect with their customers. :). They also had this chocolate cake (which I'm not sure is a normal part of their menu) but it was absolutely delicious. 😭 Shame I mentioned it around my kids and I had to share.“

“A Fantastic 5-Star Find – Well Worth the Drive!

We traveled 45 minutes for our first visit to Lucchesi’s to celebrate a birthday dinner, and it exceeded all expectations. From the moment we walked in, we could feel the charm and warmth of this local favorite. The restaurant has a nostalgic, white tablecloth atmosphere that strikes the perfect balance between upscale and comfortable. It’s clearly a go-to spot for special occasions, another table was celebrating as well, which added a festive touch to the evening.

We started with the roasted peppers and cheese appetizer, which was a delicious and flavorful way to kick off the meal. For our entrées, we chose the Lobster Romano and the Spots, both were fantastic, prepared with care, and absolutely packed with flavor.

Each dinner came with a fresh salad topped with house made dressing and blue cheese, which was simple yet really well done and delicious. For our sides, we selected the pasta with their homemade red sauce. Just a heads up: the sauce is pretty sweet, but as someone who typically doesn’t go for sweet red sauces, I have to admit this one was an exception. It was rich, smooth, and surprisingly delicious.

The menu isn’t overly large, but we found that to be a strength. It’s thoughtfully put together, focusing on high quality, well executed dishes instead of an overwhelming number of choices.

A special thank you to our server, Ronnie, who went above and beyond. Friendly, attentive, and professional, Ronnie helped make the birthday celebration even more special.

Important tip: Lucchesi’s is only open Thursday through Saturday from 5 PM to 9 PM, so be sure to make a reservation. With limited hours and high demand, it’s a smart move to book ahead.

We were truly impressed with our first visit and can’t wait to return. If you’re looking for a memorable dinner with incredible food, outstanding service, and a cozy, elegant atmosphere, Lucchesi’s should absolutely be on your list.“
