“We were there for dinner last Saturday,there was a big party going on in the banquet room and there were 9 of us. The service was fantastic, food was amazing and plentiful. Jamie and the rest of the staff run like a well oiled machine. We highly recommend this place. Loved it“

“excellent food n service“

“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!“

“Great restaurant. Amazing full American Italian experience. Super staff!“

“Don’t sleep on Fredo’s! The food is great, and the owner is excellent. She is great with service, cooking quickly, making suggestions. She really makes you feel at home at Fredo’s.

My favorites are the wings, Italian sandwich, and gyros. They do all the little things right. A true diamond in the rough!“

“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.“

“My wife and I ate here while we were visiting Pittsburgh and the food is absolutely delicious. My wife got the lasagna while I got the chicken parm and both dishes were absolutely spectacular. My wife is still raving about the lasagna, saying it's the best she's ever had. The service is great, the staff go out of their way to make you feel welcome and take care of you like you are apart of the family. Highly recommend!“

“Visiting family from Florida and came in for lunch on 8/27. Service was amazing, staff is attentive and friendly, and the food.... just wow.... amazing food, huge portions, great taste, FAST.... no negatives. A hidden gem that everyone should know about!“

“Hands down the absolute best pizza in the area. I’m a pizza guy and it’s hard to impress me but wow, absolutely fantastic. We also tried a meat ball and I gotta say it was probably the best meatball I’ve ever had. The restaurant is very clean and from the second you walk in you know you’re in for something special! Very friendly people as well. We cannot wait to go back!“

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

“Visiting family in the area, we were very impressed with Bella’s. I give the highest rating review for their service and quality. We loved the salads, eggplant parmigiana Chicken Marsala, Lou & Lisa“

“As a tutoring business we require healthy, quality, brain food for us to provide to both our staff and students. Piada has partnered with us on providing students with rewards through their "smart noodle" program which is a big hit. Students love the food, and we love providing them a great reward opportunity that parents will feel good about feed their children. As a staff we thoroughly enjoy the food they provide us, the catering is easy and streamlined for businesses, and both Missy the store manager and Amanda the marketing manager has been such a joy to partner with. As a business we cant reccomend Piada enough!“

“It’s been awhile - but the food was just as awesome as I remembered!“

“We had Shelly Pie for the first time in September while we were staying at the comfort inn for a pool tournament. Had it delivered and it was AMAZING. Fast forward to yesterday. We drove an hour to take our daughter to have your pizza. We got a small Buffalo Chicken which was delicious, piping hot, and had an great cheese pull. Our second pie (Med pepperoni w/ half sausage half bacon) did not come out with our first. It took at least 20 minutes for the second one to arrive and once it did it was easy to see why. Not only had the pie been left to die in the window, but what we were given was a half sausage, half bacon pie with a stick of pepperoni piled on top after it was already cooked. Needless to say, the second one was bad and to say disappointing is an understatement. Our server was very nice, but busy setting up and preparing for a party of 20 that came in towards the end of our visit so we didn't try to track her down about the bad pie.“

“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!!!“

“absolutely the best restaurant. Love Chris amazing bartender“

“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 !“

“Awesome food but the service was down right terrible. Really ruined our dining experience.“

“My husband loved their Red Top Pizza, said it's definitely the best he's had so far. 💕 And the owners are so kind and friendly and you can tell they want to connect with their customers. :). They also had this chocolate cake (which I'm not sure is a normal part of their menu) but it was absolutely delicious. 😭 Shame I mentioned it around my kids and I had to share.“

“Visited this fine establishment with some friends and I must say, the food is amazing. The venue is for fine dining and is small and quaint. So make sure you make a reservation or you will find yourself out of luck. It can also be pricey but with what you get it's well worth a special night with your spouse or small group. I had the Lobster Romano which was amazing. And my wife had the filet mignon. She's already asking to return for her birthday. Everything here is quality. A+“

“Staff could've been a little friendlier, but otherwise a very nice place.

Update: Staff was nicer this time, but I was not happy that no one told us that happy hour prices didn't apply to restaurant patrons, only at the bar.“

“Armstrongs has AWESOME food. Love their Stuffed Hot Banana Peppers.☺️“

“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.“

“The service. Specifically, Jake the server. He was superlative. His attention to detail was way beyond expectations. He brought my companions food and apologized saying he'd sent mine back because he thought it was too dark. My mozzarella sticks arrived golden, crisp, and perfect. Such a dedication to excellence in standards can't go unacknowledged. Attentive and friendly. Praiseworthy indeed.“

“My husband, our friends and I had an incredible dinner at The Steel Plate tonight. The service was outstanding and the food was delicious. The owner and chef checked on us a few times and was so friendly and hospitable. I had the jerk chicken ravioli and it exceeded my expectations. When the owner/chef told us the dessert options and he said “carrot cake cheesecake” we all said “you had us at carrot cake and cheesecake”. We left feeling full and satisfied. We will most likely be going back in the morning for brunch.“

“The best white pizza around .“

“Had a chance to dine here and was very pleased,,food was well prepared, service was friendly, quick, atmosphere was quiet and relaxed,,Highly recommended

Parking: plenty in shopping plaza

Kid-friendliness: kid menu, atmosphere is family friendly“

“Great food and service. Portions were perfect.“

“First of all I want to say my family and I absolutely love Pasta Too. Raymond runs a fine establishment and before today we have never had an issue. Today however our server completely ruined our experience at Pasta Too. Ca***e, our server acted like every request we had was a chore. She was ignorant and made both my family and I feel like a bother. I’m not sure if this is common with her but we have never had such a terrible dinning experience. Especially at Pasta Too. Other than that the food and every single other server we’ve dined with there has been incredible. We will be back. But we will request anyone but her as a server.“

“Great service - Great food“

“Always an awesome experience. I have four sons who are always hungry for Glads! Had a church function and got a Gladiator and some antipasto. It didn’t disappoint. Everyone ranted and raved, especially over the bread. All top notch ingredients and would highly recommend. It’s a great value for the money and you won’t go away hungry.“

“came in to have a nice dinner with family and friends and was lucky to have Emily as our server. Her attitude was exciting and positive and she accommodated us wonderfully as my husband has dietary restrictions. Will definitely be back and will always be asking to be taken care of my Emily!!“

“Had an early dinner today. Got the Gyro dip appetizer and it was absolutely amazing! Food was amazing!! New favorite spot!“

“Hubby and I went on a whim after a Steelers game. Dining room was quiet, even though the separate bar was still animated after the Steelers win.
Spaghetti and Meatballs was on special, and it WAS special and a generous serving! Blockhouse Pumpkin Ale on tap served in a
cinnamon sugar rimmed glass. Yummy!
We took a tiramisu to go, it was so good and definitely enough for TWO.
We'll be back, for sure!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Comfortable neighborhood bar“

“Highly recommend! Food is amazing and thoughtfully prepared. Service is wonderful!! We have been to Albero Verde at least 6 times in the last three months! We are very picky about where we dine and Albero Verde exceeds expectations every time! Best BYOB policy too! Bonus: It’s cool to be able to watch the kitchen in action!“

“Best pizza i have ever had in my 50 years on earth, we drive 3 hours away just to eat this pizza!!“

“The server was excellent, friendly, helpful and prompt on any service needed. I got the all you can eat pasta so that I could try some of the different sauces. The meat sauce was excellent as always. The Alfredo was very good but I think it would have been better if I had gotten some chicken with it. The five cheese sauce was not very good, I know they have had it for many years but it's just too bland.“

“I had did my multi-class high school reunion there and my baby shower. Clean beautiful venue and professional friendly staff. Anna is so easy and great to work with.“

“Ever since leaving Northern NJ I have been on the quest for the perfect slice of pizza and a damn fine calzone... When Slice on Broadway first opened I knew I had found the perfect pie, and badgered them to bring a real deal calzone onto the menu, it finally happened and I have never been more in love with this awesome local business since they added them to the menu, their cicilian pizza is also off the hook when they have it available. Give them a shot, if you are from the NYC/ North New Jersey area I promise that they will be a favorite for a long time to come..“

“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.“

“The food is awesome, great pizza and the wings are phenomenal. Their new dining room is great for friends to hang together“

“My friend and I sat outside while we could. Not a great view, but it was peaceful. The food was good, our server was very busy but we weren't neglected at all. Hey, someone made the food, it was served, we ate. Perfect day. P.S. excellent wedding soup.“
