50 Best Italian Restaurants near Bethel Park

“Ordered several entrees to go. The food was absolutely delicious!
The portion size was substantial and the quality was excellent! Very friendly staff as well. Understandable, on a Wednesday evening, they were on a wait. I will definitely return soon to try something new.“

“Al's Cafe did the catering for my mother's memorial service this past Saturday in McMurray. The food was exceptional and my family loved it! Jordan went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect! The food was hot even though the service went an hour longer than I expected, (we were blessed to have an amazing mom)! I would highly recommend Al's Cafe and Jordan!!!!“

“Would’ve been a 5 if our server didn’t have such an unpleasant attitude. The hostess must’ve been a manager because she was truly amazing, helpful and kind. The food was delicious. Our server was just rude and had a TERRIBLE attitude.“

“I had your competitor’s pizza Caliente’s wasn’t as good as this! I really like it! And delivery man was nice too! I won’t order any pizza in future only Olive Oil’s believe Me !👍🏼“

“I have NEVER had a bad meal or negative delivery experience at Fat Angelo’s Bethel Park! It is very evident that they use high quality ingredients as well as take pride in their amazing creations! Best pizza sauce I have ever had and I absolutely love their wings! (And medium buffalo sauce)! I also LOVE that they deliver the food themselves and do not use a delivery service. They are always fast, friendly and appreciative of our business!“

“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“

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

“My son and daughter-in-law got married this past weekend Nov.1. we had catering fom Julianos. From start to finish Roseanne and Nick were absolutely 100% amazing! Roseanne helped me tweak the menu, made suggestions and answered any questions I had. The brides choices were tortellini Alfredo, chicken parm, meatballs, stuffed shells, and pasta with salad and rolls.The food was delivered on time..the delivery driver was great!.He went over the order and made sure it was all there. The food was delicious! we got so many compliments from guests! it was such a wonderful day and I would recommend Julianos 10/10 for catering your special day! (and any day for dinner too!) Thank you Nick and especially Roseanne for everything!!“

“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.“

“My family and friends celebrated my retirement at Storms last night. The food and service were incredible! Thank you to Stephanie and her team for a fantastic evening! If you haven’t checked out Storms yet, you REALLY must! Fantastic, authentic Italian food!💕“

“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.“

“From the valet parker to the hostess to the waiter Russell it was an awesome night. He was so attentive, informative, and funny. We loved our meals and highly recommend it. Food is delicious!!“

“The 5 stars rating say it all. I ate there the first year Chef Greg opened the door to the public. I've dined there from its earliest days until now. Pastas, meatballs and sauces are outstanding. I only wish they would bring back the Panna Cotta. The menu is limited but that's how the quality is maintained, this is not Pasta Too.“

“Bar Marco did an amazing job for our wedding. The food is so good that all of our vendors were thrilled when we told them the venue, and our guests similarly raved. The staff took the time to know our order of events and requests and accommodated accordingly. Highly recommend.“

“Arleo's Pizza is AMAZING. Their pizza is to die for!! And I'm a bit of a pizza snob lol. The staff is on-task, on-time, friendly and funny! And the prices are quite reasonable. 10/10 I would reccomend.“

“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!“

“I am so glad my husband and I found Yoli's. We went there for the 2nd time tonight and every single thing we got was phenomenal just like the 1st time! From their salads, to the bread and oil, to their Yoli Rolis, to the stuffed shells, to the Grandma Bevy, the food is just unbelievable. I got the crab cake tonight and I have to say, it was one of the best I've ever had, and I've had them in Maryland! We got the canookie for dessert and it was bigger than our heads but unbelievably amazing. Plus everything is SUPER reasonably priced! On top of everything else, the staff is extremely friendly! This is definitely our go-to restaurant from here on out. I can't wait for many more dinners at Yoli's!“

“One of the best pizzas I have had. We eat here a couple times a week and it never disappoints! Owners are super friendly and prices are very reasonable!“

“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!“

“Delicious food! Excellent service! It was our first time here and definitely recommend this to everyone! My wife and I will definitely return! 5 stars!“

“Best restaurants I ever eat we are customer's over 28 years“

“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!“

“this has become my wife and I's favorite Italian restaurant in the South Hills. portions are huge. Food is absolutely delicious. Quick warning though if you order the stuffed hot peppers they will be HOT. They're absolutely delicious though!“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“Delicious mezza rigatoni in Neopolitan meat sauce“

“I do not even know where to start! From the server(Dominic) who was friendly, always right there and check on our table periodically making sure we always had what we needed! the drinks, the food, the dessert, everything was a 10/10. The sauce was the best I ever had. This place is a must! It is beautiful, clean, and welcoming inside with a sense of family and friends. The host was lovely, and friendly. You can tell the owner cherishes this place,he was hands on the entire time I was there.“

“One of the few good pizza spots in Pittsburgh!“

“Pizza is very good“

“Great service - Great food“

“Our new favorite restaurant to visit in Pittsburgh! Everything we’ve tried has been delicious, but the fried zucchini…. to die for!👌 *chef’s kiss*“

“Came here when I was on a trip from out of town. The woman on the phone was extremely pleasant, which was very refreshing considering how most to-go places are nowadays. Customer service is truly top notch.

What was even more surprising was how truly delicious every part of our meals were. My wife and I were shocked by the massive portion sizes and the high quality of the food. Everything was amazing.

I will be dreaming about the next time we can come out again, and we won’t be looking for food anywhere else.“

“TL/DR: The food and service were fantastic. The bread and ice cream are good enough to justify a visit by themselves, and could frankly be turned into an extremely profitable business on their own. The food was so good that it felt like a bargain at its price point.

My family and I wanted to visit Cucina Alfabeto for a special occasion as it was recommended by a few close friends of mine. It did not disappoint. The restaurant was well decorated without being distracting, and had a relaxing ambience. We had placed a reservation a week in advance, and we were seated promptly after arriving. Our server, Eric, was very polite but quiet. He quickly brought bread and oil, which was worth the visit by itself. He then walked us through the menu, quickly put in our appetizers. We ordered the burrata and the arancini, which were both superb. The burrata was balanced, salty, sweet, and uniquely smokey due to the char on the bread and the quality of the smoked salt used. The arancini were fantastic, but if you order them I would recommend cutting them and waiting for a moment for them to cool before you eat, as ours were quite hot, likely due to them being prepared moments prior. After waiting for us to finish our appetizers, Eric returned and answered some questions we had about entrees before leaving with our orders. He did an excellent job pacing the meal for us and attending to us. Me and my mom ordered the sacchetti, and my brother ordered the trout. The sacchetti was unlike any pasta I had eaten prior. Somewhere between ravioli and a dumpling, the pasta was cooked perfectly al dente and filled with a mixture of lamb, garlic, Parmesan, and some other additions that I am not qualified enough to speak to. The inclusion of the mint and pea as a part of the sauce expertly balanced the richness of the lamb, leaving me satisfied but not weighed down by what would otherwise be unctuous if not prepared with such care. I was able to try my brothers trout, which was exactly as I had hoped. The trout was seasoned simply, allowed the taste of the trout and its preparation to shine. The potatoes were also good, but could have been seasoned a bit more, however that is simply my preference. We finished our meal by trying each available ice cream flavor, which were vanilla, chocolate hazelnut, and sour cherry sorbet. The vanilla and hazelnut ice creams were so good that one could justify closing the restaurant entirely simply to serve ice cream. I genuinely challenge anyone to find me better ice cream in Pittsburgh. My only limited constructive criticism was that the restaurant was very quiet, making conversation for me and my family a tad awkward at times, but that was likely due to our reservation being at 6 and not a later hour which may be more lively. Additionally, the music playing quietly in the background was not good. Thankfully, I only heard it when I used the restroom. It was a bossa nova cover of “don’t stop believing.” I am not sure why, but the poor choice of music made me feel bad for the servers and staff, who likely have to listen to that all day while slaving away to make excellent food and provide excellent service. Even as a food dilettante, it was easy to see the effort and care that was put into me and my family’s meal. Safe to say I will be back as soon as I can justify the expense, and hopefully I can ask for the playlist to be changed.“
