50 Best Italian Restaurants near Irwin

“Delicious food & great service!!! Will be back soon!!!“

“This joint has been around for decades, and good luck finding parking in the upper lots on most evenings (ample parking in the rear).

It recently came under new ownership.... but they didnt really change much. The food is still phenomenal, the atmosphere in the bar is very Pittsburgh area, and they've got live music too.

Stop by here, you won't be disappointed.“

“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“

“Great pizza, friendly and fast service.“

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

“The Gyro Pizza was top tier, easily the best gyro pizza I've ever had. They perfectly layer all of the ingredients on the pizza so each bite is uniform and delicious. Maybe a touch crust-heavy, but the crust is tasty too so it isn't a huge deal. The Bavarian Pretzel was also really solid as an appetizer.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

She was pleasant, attentive and did a good job. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great food and excellent service. Thanks!!!“

“We dined there for the first time this week. We told our waitress, Katie, that we had never been and she went above and beyond to give us an amazing experience. Our drinks were constantly refilled and the appetizer hot pepper cheese balls were delicious. She recommended the cheese bread sticks (they were so good!) and we thought the pizza (pepperoni sausage mushrooms) was outstanding. Thank you Katie for being so attentive. We will definitely be back Shelly Pie!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Absolute GEM at the Latrobe Airport! ✈️🍝❤️ If you haven’t been to DeNunzio’s Restaurant at the Latrobe Airport, you are truly missing something special. From the moment you walk in, you’re wrapped in that warm, old-world Italian atmosphere — rich wood ceilings, glowing chandeliers, cozy bar seating — it feels like you’ve stepped into a place where memories are made and traditions matter. 🇮🇹✨ Manager Anthony DeNunzio couldn’t be more welcoming. Genuine, gracious, and hands-on — you can tell this isn’t just a restaurant, it’s family. And speaking of family, knowing Anthony just took his grandpa (in his 90s!) on a special outing says everything you need to know about the heart behind this place. That kind of love and respect carries into how they treat every guest. ❤️ And let’s talk about the staff! Sweetest bartender ever? That’s Terri! 🙌 She’s warm, attentive, and makes you feel like you’ve been coming there for years — even if it’s your first visit. Total sweetheart and absolute pro. Now the FOOD… WOW. The Seared Diver Scallops were perfection — beautifully cooked, tender, and bursting with flavor. 🐚🔥 And the Pasta Fagioli soup? Comfort in a bowl. Rich, hearty, authentic — the kind of soup that makes you close your eyes for a second after the first bite. 🍲 This is more than just a meal — it’s an experience. Quality family. Quality food. And most importantly… quality people. 👏 The DeNunzio family has created something truly special at the Latrobe airport. Whether you’re flying in, flying out, or just looking for an unforgettable dinner — go. You’ll be so glad you did. 💛🍷“

“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!!“

“Nice social club. Great food and great prices“

“We enjoyed the mason jar appetizer (very unique), ramen bowl and macaroni and cheese. Service was attentive and the atmosphere was pleasant. Large menu with quite a lot to choose from. Can’t wait to return to try other items. Highly recommendable!“

“We wanted to give a big shout-out to our waiter, George, at Corleone's. The food was absolutely delicious, and the place was spotless. We celebrated my husband's birthday there, and the whole experience was so nice and relaxing. George provided excellent service and made our evening even more special. Thank you for a memorable celebration!“

“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.“

“Had dinner at Sforno, had a Betty White pizza, Cluck Norris, bread sticks, meatballs, and Greek flatbread also brought home a piece of strawberry cake! So silky and delicious. Everything was awesome! The waitress was great and the owner made sure we had anything we needed! Will definitely be returning! Thank you for a great experience!“

“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“

“Visited Olive Garden (260 Mall Blvd, Monroeville, PA) on Veterans Day 11/11/2025, and the experience was absolutely perfect. Olive Garden offered a complimentary meal from a special veterans menu, and I truly appreciated the gesture.

Service from Bailey M was excellent and friendly. My guest ordered the Tour of Italy ($22.49) and I had Spaghetti with Marinara and 3 Meatballs ($16.78), both served hot, fresh, and delicious. The famous salad and breadsticks were just as great as always.

Thank you to the management and staff for honoring veterans and making our visit memorable. Highly recommended!“

“My family has been eating here for 40 years. Best pizza in Western PA.“

“As always, Persichetti's is amazing. They consistently provide a cozy, family friendly atmosphere and delicious food. I cannot stress enough how amazing the Gingerbread Man seasonal cocktail is. Such a cute presentation and so yummy!“

“We just had a great meal at mama meatballs pizzeria. The owner and his family were great and the pie is a contender for the best pizza in the east Pittsburgh area. Everything but the salad was homemade.“

“very good food. big quantity for the price. nice staff. will be back.“

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

“We ordered a regular pizza, the poulich pit pizza, garlic knots, and the giant pretzel. Everything was amazing! Its alil bit of a drive but 100% worth it!“

“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!“

“Having travelled from Melbourne for dinner with family in Drouin we were very impressed with all aspects of our experience at Luciano's. We most certainly recommend any decerning diners to visit this lovely restaurant for lunch or dinner. Long distant visitors from Perth WA via Melbourne. Cheers, The Moth & Co“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

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

“We were a family of 10 and we came while it was not busy, they sat us immediately our server was great! I think his name was Shaine or something . But he was very attentive and understanding . Our food was great! First time here and definitely will return . Reasonably priced as well“

“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*“

“GREAT FOOD!!! Huge portions and made to order. Had pizza, salad, fresh cut fries and the HUGE fish sandwich. Can't wait to try more on the menu!!!“

“I love your food! The salads are my favorite! Keep up the great job!!“

“Biscotti Brothers make delicious biscotti. I thought I would be able to go straight to the bakery to buy various flavors of multiple biscotti. It's impossible to find all the various flavors they make at different grocery stores. My new favorite is pumpkin pecan biscottini. However, I discovered the bakery in Greensburg, does not sell to the general public unless you order them online and have them shipped. Which can get alittle expensive. Delallo's in Jeanette sells Biscotti Brothers products under the Delallo brand name, however, they have only a fraction of the flavors available.“

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

“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!!“
