50 Best Italian Restaurants near Indianola

“Our food was excellent. The three of us got the exact same thing. Prime Rib. The wedding soup was great, the prime rib was cooked perfectly, the service was very good, and the bread was so good. I have lived in the area my entire life and finally gave it a try. It exceeded my expectations by far. We will be back.“

“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.

I would strongly recommend this location for really first rate Italian food and a great atmosphere“

I highly recommend the Verona Village Inn.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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!!!“

“Shout out to the night crew!!! I can’t help but go 1-2 nights/week and every time I go the vibes are good and the food is better. They keep their spirits high and chicken spicy!!!

Keep up the energy night crew! See you next week ??“

“Delicious mezza rigatoni in Neopolitan meat sauce“

“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!“

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

“Great food! Never walk out disappointed.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Loved this place! From out of town and I felt like I fit in right off the bat! Kim was amazing! Very impressed! Friendly, helpful and attentive. Crowd was fun and engaging. Kim suggested the deal on the beer and the pizza. Both delicious! Pizza was outstanding! Especially for the price. Just loved the feel of this place! Wish it was in Texas! Can't wait to try the sandwiches! Homemade chips also! A total local gem!“

“The food here is TO DIE FOR!!! And the service is awesome“

“Hands down best pizza on Route 8 without question. Generational family owned pizza shop who remember their customers like close friends or family. All of the food is great, however the Primavera pizza is a personal favorite along with the Italian or steak hoagies. The Grande Special Sicilian is an absolute wonder, the cheese reseals the cut if you get what I’m saying. I was coming to you guys as a kid when you were in the strip mall across 8, super happy when I get to have a friendly chat picking up the food!

“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“

“Took my 4 year old granddaughter there for her birthday because she wanted chicken noodle soup. Even though the soup was great, there weren't the typical big noodles that kids like. When the waitress came and I told her that, she brought a Togo container where she fished out all the big noodles. My granddaughter was so happy. Now that's what I call great service and a great waitress! My meal was fantastic as always!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Ordered Romano Crusted Chicken & Pappardelle with mushrooms, spinach with a white cream sauce and added Shrimp. It was delicious and it came with soup or salad and bread.“

“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“

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

“There was three of us. The three amigos. Friends. Chicken parm. Chicken Alfredo. Steak gargonzola. Awesome food, better waitress. Melissa is a southern girl with the mannerisms of the south. Pleasant and efficient. Joy to have as a helper. Thank you!“

“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.“

“So glad reopened back up under new ownership from other locations. Sooo delicious always“

“Where do I start? Everything was amazing from beginning to end. I had reservations at Tambellini‘s in Highland Park. But the owner decided they weren’t busy enough that evening so they called me an hour before and canceled on me. I scrambled to find somewhere for my 10-year-old daughter and I to go After her school dance. I called this place and they said “don’t worry about anything, come on in and we’ll take care of you.” We ended up chatting with some other customers and the staff. It was great. My daughter was all smiles the whole time. The dining room is super small and very intimate. Everybody’s friendly, the owner was great, and the chef was awesome. definitely put this place on your list of places to try. Support local!“
