50 Best Italian Restaurants near Irwin

“Delicious food, great service & an overall great experience !!! Our server Elizabeth was great!“

“Found this old neighborhood restaurant and wanted to give it a try. Small restaurant with friendly staff. We both got house salads and shared a pizza. The salad was ok. Some of the lettuce had brown portions that a customer shouldn't see. The pizza wasn't bad but lacked flavor. The crust almost seemed like a mundane frozen crust. The part we disliked the most was how the servers took up a table and would sit there at the table plus eating instead of tending to the tables. Sorry, but if there are dirty plates stacked at the edge of the table, the server shouldn't walk by and go sit down. If we were the owners, we would not want that.“

“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!“

“I enjoy the one in Penn Hills there pizza is the best around Penn Hills it can’t be beat“

“everything here is awesome. but today. the air conditioning wasn't working. we still had some delicious pie. the bad, I watched a party of 5, a party of 3,and a party of 2 walk out. They had the patio closed cuz no ac. and the inside ac barely working. it was the same a few weeks ago. so bottom line is still great food but waitress losing tips cuz no ac.“

“The Pizza is so delicious, never disappoints, will Definitely return!“

“I would love to give it 5 stars its good but is slightly less then 5 all the time. On 9/17 my servers was great. Sometimes they are not so great but this time it was.
My kids drinks were always taken care of, we had a family member with us so showing off places I like to eat is always hard. I cook everyday for my family and did it professionally for years. So my criticism of places are always taken into account by family we take to places we like.
I order the BBQ chicken pizza, after an experience in the south I try it here occasionally and I add bacon and broccoli. Its different.
BBQ chicken pizza with bacon and broccoli. I have shipped the Lucci name at all of their locations but I think I finally found the best of their locations for this pie. While they are all close and all good, it seems this is the 3rd time it was great, perfect dough as usual, the ingredients well spaced out not to much of any one thing but enough to cover it.

The only feedback we had is the Alfred pickles. Not a fan of the spears vs fried pickle chips. Chips are easier to share with more people and also frying the spears tends to make eating them more messy vs a chip size.“

“Was visiting with our son and headed here for lunch today. Did not disappoint. Service was excellent, food was excellent, very simple salad but delicious. Extremely pleasant, friendly staff- fairly certain they were the owners. Had leftovers to bring home for later. Looking forward to our next meal to to see what is new on the menu. I had the basil gnocchi.“

“Great food and friendly staff!!“

“Love the pizza also great to work with to have parties“

“Friends and I enjoyed dinner at Tillie's last night and it was a great evening. Of course, the company was great but the food was also great. And, our server was a joy. She was pleasant, attentive and did a good job. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great food and excellent service. Thanks!!!“

“Food was excellent and plentiful. Enough for dinner the next day. Service was outstanding our reservation was for 5:30 and we were seated by 5:10. Our waitress Angela B was fantastic. Her service was a 10+. Would definitely go back and highly recommend it…“

“I come here whenever I am in town. I love the oysters rockefeller and zucchini for apps and the chicken a la johnnys for dinner. The prices are great and I love the entertainment on a Saturday night. It's a wonderful, fun and relaxing evening!“

“Great family-owned business with amazing homemade food!“

“Excellent first visit. Staff is friendly and attentive, restaurant was clean with super cool decor. We got the sno-white pizza, a greek salad and a caesar salad. We took home a lemon and carrot cake slice. Everything was delicious. Will be back soon!“

“We travel from an hour away to come to Shelly Pie! We love the food and the service is always phenomenal (especially Diana.)“

“We recently held my parents 50th wedding anniversary party there and it was wonderful! Everyone I dealt with, from the event coordinator, kitchen staff, and wait staff, were incredibly kind and went above and beyond to make our event a special one. I would definitely recommend Rene’s in the future.“

“Jen hosted my bridal shower at this beautiful restaurant and I couldn’t be more happy with how the day went!! The three entree choices, salad, and rolls served for our guests were decisions! Jen was outstanding arranging everything with my mom and bridesmaids to make it a special day as a bride to be! I would most definitely recommend Osteria Pasqualino for any private event you wish to celebrate with family/friends! Special thank you to Jen’s hard work and service throughout the day!“

“This is a true hidden gem! Awesome food and fantastic staff!“

“Great food! Never walk out disappointed.“

“We came here for dinner on a Friday night in August. We were traveling and checked the map for something that was close and looked good. The menu looked good and I liked the name because I have seen the Godfather a bunch of times but I was a little hesitant at first because it was in a strip mall.

We sat at the bar and were immediately greeted by a bartender who gave us menus and took our drink order. She gave a little time to decide on meals and then out that order in for us. We ordered the calamari to share and we wanted to split the shrimp scampi as well. There weren’t too many people on the bar side. I couldn’t see the dining room area. There are couple Godfather posters which was cool.

The food came out shortly after ordering and the kitchen was able to split the pasta for us which we appreciated because we know how messy it can get at the bar when we try to do that ourselves with pasta. We were grateful they could do that - some places won’t. The calamari was very good. They pasta was good. I wish it would have had a little bit of lemon in it to make the garlic more pronounced but that’s just my preference.

The bartender was friendly and attentive. She seemed to have good rapport with the other customers who maybe were regulars. The atmosphere was relaxed and casual.

They have a lottery machine. We weee hoping to get a winning powerball ticket that night but the machine was offline. Oh well.

Prices were comparable to other similar places we go at home. Parking was easy - since it’s in the strip mall it shares a big lot with surrounding businesses.

Overall we had a good time.“

“Today’s order was exceptional. It had been a minute since I ordered from here as usually my order was messed up etc. today I was craving one of their chicken salads so I decided to get that and a pizza for my kids. Both items were amazing and perfect! I understand this place is under new ownership. The manager/owner even brought the food to my car and chit chatted with me a bit. 10/10 customer service. This makes a big difference.“

“The food was excellent, atmosphere was great and the service as usual was outstanding. Tracey is a top notch waitress.“

“We were passing through New Stanton, and had dinner at La Tavola. We sat at the bar, and had incredible service from Sandy, the bartender. The food was incredible. We had the artichoke appetizer, a Caesar salad, and the Veal Picatta and the special, which was a Swordfish with lump crabmeat. Also, the Crème Brûlée. All was incredible, and Chef Lou came out and chatted with us. A very special gem of a restaurant, which we would highly recommend!!“

“I have never had a pizza this good it was delicious it was my first pizza and absolutely not my last service was great as well trinitys enthusiasm was amazing added to my experience“

“Nice social club. Great food and great prices“

“Hands down, our favorite pizza!“

“The most important reason is that this is a local, family owned business. Throughout the year there are holiday baked goods offerings. This is more than our local pizza shop. We feel like neighbors and friends.“

“Food is amazing and they are always friendly, and their delivery is always fast and efficient.“

“Had the beer battered fish today for lunch. It was so good ! It held up well for takeout. Was crispy and the bun was delicious too !“

“Jasmin is an excellent waitress, had a few minor problems that were out of her control. The ladies at the bar were also great, provided fun atmosphere while waiting for table. Thee manager was right on and handled our problem right away and did the exact right things. Over all great experience and great service in the bar and table.“

“Without a doubt, the best meal we have ever had! Phenomenal service! Absolutely worth it!“

“Very happy with the Italian Buffet, held a great surprise birthday party there and we were incredibly satisfied with the food and service. We would recommend Pugliano’s for any special event you are interested in holding!!! 5 Stars!!“

“Ordering from Rocco’s never disappoints. By far the best food and delivery service around!! 💚🤍❤️“

“We’ve been to the Murrysville location a number of times now and most recently ordered a deluxe sandwich tray. The owner and staff have been so friendly, every time making sure we had what we needed. For our recent catering order, the owner explained the labels, walked me through all the toppings that are included, and why she gave me the mayo and vinegar on the side, etc. Everyone at our party raved about the hoagies from the tray and asked where we got them. The quality of the bread, meats and toppings are all exceptional and very unique - and the variety of hoagies is so extensive it’s hard to believe. My personal favorite is Nonna’s Veggie - it’s eggplant with roasted peppers, broccoli rabe and sharp provolone. I’m so happy to have another great business like this in Murrysville and I wish the owner nothing but success. Give this place a try!“

“My family stopped by on Saturday afternoon ordered a Pgh pizza and loaded fries. The Pizza was out of this world. The fries were fresh cut and delicious. Our server was Jodie and she was so friendly and efficient we never had to ask a refill on drinks. Most pleasant trip there ever.“

“Ate at the Monroeville location and loved it. The manager and service staff were excellent. Had the Italian sausage sandwich and the garlic knots and they were both very good. Friends enjoyed the hot honey and pepperoni pizzas. Thanks for a great night.“

“We just had my daughter’s wedding shower here and everything was absolutely perfect from the room and table set up, the food, the mimosa bar and the friendly staff. The guests had a choice of stuffed ricotta shells with meatballs or chicken parmesan and both dishes were delicious! Claps to the chef. They also offer gluten free, vegan and child meals. The venue is reasonably priced, spacious, clean and in a convenient location with plenty of parking. A big thank you to the owners and staff for their hard work and assistance in making my daughter’s wedding shower a very special and elegant event.“

“I hadn't placed an order in a while, but on Thursday I was so glad I did. The Western Reuben was delicious. The corned beef was so tender. *Sorry, I should have added that the staff is always so friendly*“

“We were leaving a funeral service in the evening of 9/9/25, and had reservations at Tillies for 20 people. When we showed up they acted like we were a bother. Insanely rude to everyone. The last thing a family should be dealing with at that time. I made a game time decision at that point, I stepped outside and I called Luciano’s around 7pm on a hope and prayer that last second they would be able to accommodate 20 people and told them our situation. Luciano’s was absolutely SO kind. They asked how long until we would be there, I said “20 minutes”. They said “we’ll be ready”. We all got up and left Tillies, and 20 minute later got to Luciano’s. They had tables lined up and ready for our party. Our two servers were so absolutely amazing I wish I could remember their names. But just 2 awesome young ladies. They were so kind to a family that just lost a loved one. The service, the food, the compassion was just out of this world. Everyone was so happy. Thank you guys so much for making a very gloom, and sad day much better for this family. We’ve always liked the food here but now we will be making a point to visit much more often. Thank you so much, again.“

“Always order at the Arnold Palmer Airport location and food is always delicious. They deliver to us in the terminal and always so nice.“

“Penn Murry catered for my husband’s birthday party and it was fantastic!!! The food was beyond amazing!! All of my guests loved the food!!! They all wanted to know which catering company I used. Their Italian tomato sauce is out of this world! It reminds me so much of grandmother’s cooking and my childhood home in Brooklyn!! The owners are so nice! Without a doubt, I highly recommend Penn Murry! Five star rating!!“

“get a lot of lamb on gyro and cucumber sause is out of this world. pizza 🍕 great.“

“Absolutely the best pizza I have had in a long time. Great service, a friendly smile, and great food, plus the convenience was outstanding. I know I’ll be a regular now.“

“Their Chicago deep dish pizza is just like I remembered when I spent several months in Chicago for training. The dough had a nice crispy edge with a soft inside and the sauce was excellent and was generously applied over the toppings. This was my first Grandslam pizza and it was tremendous. When I come into town, this will my first choice for pizza. Larry from Michigan.“

“Love their gluten free flatbread!“

“I absolutely love the carriage inn restaurant and catering. I go there often with my family for meals at their restaurant. Service is always great as well as the food. They catered my wedding this past weekend and everything was amazing. My guests keep talking about how good the food was! they were very easy and stress free to work with through wedding planning. I'd recommend their restaurant or catering services to everyone!“
