“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.“

“Welcoming, and warm greeting,my sandwich was delicious,it was a turkey club on grilled sourdough bread,I had it with onion rings instead of fries, very good, I highly recommend Fontana's,for lunch and dinner, I sat at the counter,and was served right away, Sandy was the bartender, love her!!

Parking: Plenty of parking,and spacious

Kid-friendliness: I could tell they treat kids with warmth and friendlyness“

“By far our favorite restaurant in Pittsburgh. Fry was an incredible waiter and gave us amazing recommendations! We had the foccacia bread, the Calabrese pesto dip, the bucatini, the rigatoni, and the chicken parm. Ending the night with a tiramisu was perfect! You MUST come here!“

“Delicious mezza rigatoni in Neopolitan meat sauce“

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

“Our server was just bizarre. Running around like a chicken with her head cut off. She was forgetting things and screwing things up. She would basically run away while we were still talking to her. This was 7pm on a Saturday. After forgetting my soup, I was eventually brought an incredibly messy bowl, as if the soup was literally thrown into the bowl. She would say she was going to get us refills and then come back without refills. She did package our leftovers which was nice of her and offer us more bread.“

“Yolis Italian cuisine is amazing, always a pleaser, can't choose wrong on the menu! Catering is delicious, custom charcuterie boards available for purchase. Sit down n dine, or belly up to the bar. Priced right, beers cold! Come see Logan on Monday n Tuesday afternoon, she don't smile much, but lights up the room when she does! Enjoy!“

“It's like being at your favorite dinner table with family and friends! With our beautiful Italian family gathering around the bar area in numbers of about 15 Friday night, we had a blast! Yes, Joe is our cousin and that is definitely warm and wonderful but Louise, Joe's matriarch, was there too which made it extra special. Lulu, chef, Delaney, "Ms. Brown", Linda and all staff were amazing and fun. So the food, sauteed arthichoke hearts, pasta fagioli, wedding soup, Chicken Romano, Veal Romano, beverage list unsurpassed and our usual standards and oh the red velvet cheesecake was picture and taste perfect. All food made to order fresh and it definitely shows the attention to every morsel we enjoyed. Oh, the bread is made locally and it's the best. We were almost the last to leave and we have all the photos to show our fun time. Can't wait to go back for their Sunday sauce. Salute and see you soon. Thank you for your "cordial" cordial to cap off the night. Highly recommend. There is nothing better than a cozy Italian restaurant that is one of a kind. Spring is here and the bocce court will be ready!“

“IWasn't overly l impressed. Ate lunch here today after my mom's sigleftnificant other (Joe) passed away. I have to say I was pretty hungry by the time we the cemetery, and I was almost excited to see Chicken Romano on the buffet. It wasn't terrible, but the chicken tasted like very low quality meat. I was not the only one tobacco that“

“My lady is taking time for her. Please stop in before it’s too late. Love her and the food she makes and bakes. 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.“

“everything was perfect. highly recommend“

“While we've only been there a few times, Lucci's has fast become my family's favorite go to restaurant. I recently had a relative come in from another country and they requested some home style Italian food. They have a huge menu with many different options that ensures that everyone will find something to their taste. Foods we ordered on this visit included chicken parmesan, arguably the best we'd ever eaten. We also had the chicken Romano which was also very good. We will usually only order chicken Romano if it comes with a lemon wine butter sauce, which this did not, but it was still very good. It was accompanied by a large side of penne pasta that had a pinky/orangy color sauce which I believe may have been a vodka sauce and it was delicious! The cheese ravioli included four gigantic square pillows filled with ricotta and served with a red tomato sauce which was very tasty. I ordered a cheese calzone which was cooked exactly as I ordered it and was a definite 5/5 stars. It was one of the best calzones I've ever eaten. Our party ordered both the deep dish pizza, which was excellent, and a small regular pizza which was also very good. We also ordered fried zucchini which was a big hit. I can honestly say the only food that our party of four didn't like was the wedding soup. We all agreed it was the only disappointment of our meal. We had the same waitress as the last time we dined there and while she is a very good waitress she is clearly over taxed with too many duties, in my opinion, to give a party of four or more the level of service they deserve. Both times we were there the waitress had to serve customers eating dinner in the dining room as well as those sitting at the bar along with the other usual bar and waitress duties like running orders back and forth to the kitchen and picking up food. I think they may benefit from the help of a bartender once the dinner crowd picks up which was around 5:00 P.M. on the days we were there. My calzone, while nearly perfect, was surprisingly cold inside which required the waitress to have to reheat it which took quite a bit of time. The restaurant and restrooms are nice and clean. There is ample seating and parking. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible and offers handicapped parking. We didn't have any small children with us but it appears they are accommodated and welcomed. Though it seems a bit pricey, it is comparable to most restaurants of it's kind and is definitely well worth it. The food portions were massive and we happily ate the leftovers for three days. I would recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a great time and meal. Lucci's is a good choice and appropriate for families, dates and parties big and small. I'm so happy I finally gave Lucci's a try!“

“Great service - Great food“
