“it was absolutely outstanding! Every dish I tried was a burst of flavors, and the presentation was top-notch. The chef's creativity truly shone through in each bite. Whether you're a fan of seafood, steak, or vegetarian options, they have something to satisfy every palate.“

“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“

“Wow! Every bite was a culinary experience. Everything on the menu looked so good it was hard to choose. And our server, Jennifer, was fantastic!

“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.“

“Always delicious! I love the options for food they have. We did however go between the lunch and dinner rush, and their pepperoni sticks, weren't very fresh, they should have tossed those and made new ones. But we were too hungry to ask or wait for fresh ones.“

“Haven’t had a bad meal yet!!!“

“Fantastic food. Great atmosphere, friendly people. Drink selection was also awesome. Will be returning soon!“

“We were there on Saturday at 4pm. Parking lot already had at least 1/2 dozen cars. Did not have reservation so decided to eat at bar. I have never eaten at bar seating before so I wasn’t sure if I would like it. Let me tell you, it was so enjoyable! The bar was completely full within 15 minutes and the bartender was awesome. She was so friendly and competent. Complete pro!! No one was ever waiting for anything! Food was delicious. I will definitely sit at this bar and eat anytime.“

“We have gone twice nice- Sooooo Good. The owners are the ones cooking! Joe is a master of the pizza oven. The toppings are perfectly mixed and heated to melt together and the flat bread crust technique should be studied by children!!! It’s BYOB which makes it a reasonable high-end dinner with a clean atmosphere and friendly staff. I cannot recommend it enough!!!“

“Absolutely fantastic service. Suzie took great care of our table, which had about a dozen people. No empty drinks, orders all came out perfectly. I have sever food allergies, and the kitchen was super accommodating. Suzie brought out the kitchen Manager, who made me a delicious meal. Highly recommend this Olive Garden!“

“Originally went elsewhere to eat and the service was so bad, we walked out. End up at Olive Garden. So glad we did. Our server, Beth, was amazing. She was so attentive, was able to multitask, very pleasant! The food was delicious. It is out of our way to go there but I will be returning for sure. If you go to Rt 51 location, ask for Beth!!“

“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!“

“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 😋“

“I cannot stress enough how amazing your restaurant and staff are. We’ve been patrons for years and have never experienced any issues. Our most recent two visits with our 3 young grandchildren were effortless! We love the food and staff so much. I will mention Vince as he waited on us both times and is so attentive as ALL the staff we have had. We love the mother/daughter staff, but I regret that I don’t know their names. My personal favorite is the custom calzone. I asked for thin dough and both meat and marinara sauce on the side. I was delighted that it was all perfect and I took half home! It was just as delicious reheated in my oven. Thanks Nick and staff!!! ⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟🏆🌟⭐️🌟⭐️“

“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*“

“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!!“

“I like it a lot, but my 86-year-old full blooded Italian mother loves it. thankfully I pick up extra slices for her to bring to her house on the weekend.“

“The food is great, all homemade. Big fish sandwich for lent. The pasta is delicious. You will not leave without food for another meal. The portions are so big.“

“Food and company was great. Soup -delish. Pizza was soft but had a great crunch. Pepperoni was a little spicy but still a wonderful huge slice of pizza.“

“If you’re into Legends Eatery, this is a great spot. Tried the tacos al pastor and they didn’t disappoint. Staff was super polite and the food came out quick. Clean place 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!“

“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!“

“Amazing food. The buffalo chicken pizza and fresh cut fries are the best around!“

“my husband and I went to the pleasure bar today for dinner the food was excellent our waitress Jill was perfect could not have been nicer thank you for a great food and great service“

“Pizza is very good“

“The food is delicious! We've been going for years. Love the staff!“

“Best pizza in Pittsburgh, in my humble opinion. The service is always fantastic, and the pizza is second to none. It's a little on the expensive side, but very well worth it. Worth a try if you're in the Oakland/North Oakland area and want a very competent, traditional pizza. The other dishes are less enjoyable, though.“

“No flowery words needed. It's a bar where people actually TALK to one another. Conversation. No constant texting. This place is a gem for humans who want to relate and connect. The bar is Eden to the nth degree.. I'm not a foodie. Although the cuisine here is beyond delicious. But the attraction? It's the forgotten joy of human contact. Don't miss happy hour.“

“Every ravioli is amazing - better than I’ve ever had anywhere! Avi is also a really great person. Highly recommend!“
