50 Best Italian Restaurants near Jefferson Hills

“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!“

“this has become my wife and I's favorite Italian restaurant in the South Hills. portions are huge. Food is absolutely delicious. Quick warning though if you order the stuffed hot peppers they will be HOT. They're absolutely delicious though!“

“I absolutely recommend Fellini’s! DoorDash mixed up the orders between two customers and gave my family the wrong one. Tom, the GM, took care of everything for both us and the other customer. He was awesome and handled the issue right away! We couldn’t have asked for a better customer service experience working directly with Fellini’s! We will continue to order from Fellinis for our pizza & hoagies.“

“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!“

“...simply, absolutely amazing. You know what the buzz is about...“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Absolutely worth the trip. Excellent Food & Service. Thank you“

“This place has NEW GEM on menu every visit... Last nite at Bar 🍸i was surrounded by patrons enjoying EGGPLANT MEATBALLS w a Ricotta drizzle on each. Didn't know they Existed BUT they didn't exist long in front of me. Getting another order today & will post pic.“

“I do not even know where to start! From the server(Dominic) who was friendly, always right there and check on our table periodically making sure we always had what we needed! the drinks, the food, the dessert, everything was a 10/10. The sauce was the best I ever had. This place is a must! It is beautiful, clean, and welcoming inside with a sense of family and friends. The host was lovely, and friendly. You can tell the owner cherishes this place,he was hands on the entire time I was there.“

“Best restaurants I ever eat we are customer's over 28 years“

“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*“

“Meat ravioli are hard to find, even in Italian restaurants. Anthony’s are amazing are and I’m so glad I ordered them!“

“This was our first time coming here and my family was pleasantly surprised! Our server was nice and everyone’s food was really good! It was fresh and homemade and we will definitely make a trip back coming from Somerset County.“

“Pazzo"s on Lysle Blvd. It's easy going and has good music 4 all if you put your money in the jukebox, and as always great service by little Jenny the barmaid, but you better get 2 at a time because the locals keep her shopping and she's a good hopper, LMAO !“

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

“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 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!!!“

“We have been dining here for 35 years! Sadly, Les and Pauline have passed, but Edmund is continuing the excellence. Just visited for our daughter's birthday and it was perfect. The crab hoelzel and mafalda are delicious appetizers. Chicken parm is unique and yummy,ditto for the lobster Romano. We often disappointed with pricy meals, but never here. It is old school, so not for everyone, but we love it.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Delicious fooe ever forever“

“Went for brunch today with 5 people (2 of which are celiac). Service was friendly and fast. Food was amazing, a great selection for celiac/gluten-free and can't wait to go back.“

“Great food and service. Portions were perfect.“

“Very good food very good service did not wait long for food and yes I will return an try another item on the menu chicken Parm was delicious“

“Food was average. Not sure why this place has such a cult following but maybe I'm missing something. Our waitress (Hey Sweetie) cared more about talking to her coworkers than taking care of our table. Needed to remind her twice that we never received bread. She stated it was still baking but we could see they brought it out and other tables were getting it.“

“This is the perfect Italian restaurant, in my opinion. I will say this is my first time here. The food is excellent and the sauces are some of the best I have ever tasted. Veal Piacquadio & Veal Marsala were so flavorful and cooked exactly right. The side pasta (rigatoni and gravy) is normally pretty bland, but not this one. Once again, the sauce was fantastic. The service is exactly what I like, informal, friendly, and attentive. The atmosphere is a neighborhood Italian joint, which is perfect for me. I'm not one for stuffiness, but fun and friendly. Check out this place if you have not and want a casual tasty experience.“

“Delicious, accommodating to a large group, and yummy!“

“Visited this morning for the first time. Got egg and cheese sandwiches, one croissant one ciabatta - both were amazing!! The lattes were delicious and rich. You can really taste the quality of the espresso. They were short staffed (1 employee who was grinding hard!) so I did wait about 25 minutes for two coffees and sandwiches. I didn’t mind that much and it was well worth the wait. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Great service - Great food“

“Stepping into GLADS DELI is a treat for both the stomach and the soul. While there are plenty of places claiming to make a decent sandwich, this spot truly delivers the best hoagie around, hands down. The bread is always fresh the meat and cheese are piled high, and every ingredient tastes like it was sourced with care. Whether you go for the classic Italian or one of their specialty builds, YEA BUDDY you're guaranteed a massive, satisfying, and perfectly constructed meal. But what truly elevates this experience above the rest is the team. The staff is wonderful—always greeting you with a smile, incredibly patient, and clearly dedicated to making sure your order is perfect. This fantastic atmosphere starts right at the top, thanks to the great owner, He is often around, interacting with customers, and their passion for quality food and community shines through in every detail, from the cleanliness of the shop to the friendliness of the service. If you’re looking for phenomenal food served by people who genuinely care, you absolutely must visit It’s more than just a sandwich shop; it’s a local treasure.“

“Really a quite incredible restaurant! Came here with my grandmother. It was extremely quiet and formal. Very easy to make conversation. Our server was very kind to us, and making sure all of our food was always quality and refilling drinks. Soup and salad served as appetizers were delicious, as well as our entrees. I, personally, recommend the Shrimp Carbonara(Spaghetti in a creamy sauce topped with shrimp.) Overall a great place to eat out if you are in a smaller group and do not have kids with you.“

“We recently had a mercy lunch buffet at the moonlite cafe and it was great . The banquet hall was nice and spacious and the food was really good . I would highly recommend this place for your event needs or just visiting for a drink and a bite to eat .“

“Finally tried this place and the pizza is amazing a definitely must try it“

“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.“

“We sat on the outdoor covered patio on a perfect day. It was great! Thin crust pizza was very good and not greasy crust! We had sausage and zucchini pizza. It was excellent. Sauce is a little spicy but delicious! Debbie our server was so nice and helpful!“

“Anna and her staff were exceptional . The night before sister’s wedding there had been an accident to the front of the building. All was cleaned and ready for a great night. Staff, food and venue were excellent and I would recommend highly to anyone in need of a venue.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ highly recommended!“

“Quintessential pizzeria... not only is the staff fast and friendly inefficient they also go above and beyond with a little extras that mean the world to customers such as myself.

Guys if you're reading this to the staff of Bellisario's I wish there was a way to get you guys even more business not like you're hurting though because honestly your pizza is a Hidden Gem in West Mifflin particularly in Duquesne Shopping Center....yinz keep up the excellent work!

Wheelchair accessibility: It's on ground level and easily accessed and I guarantee if you have the phone number ahead of time which is on Google someone will open the door for you.“

“Try the Chicken parm family meal deal .. you won't be disappointed!!“
