The food was delicious! we got so many compliments from guests! it was such a wonderful day and I would recommend Julianos 10/10 for catering your special day! (and any day for dinner too!) Thank you Nick and especially Roseanne for everything!!“

When I finally decided, the food was hot, fresh, seasoned. I wanted to get more but they were about to wrap and close .lol So next time I come to your restaurant I will make sure to order 2 orders of the STEAK ROLLS with blue cheese dressing. Yummmmmm. Thank You for filling up my stomach and pleasing my taste Buds ? ? ?! Be Well“

“The staff was really friendly and even helped me take my big order to my car. The food was really good and you definitely get a ton of it for the money! It was even better than the Italian pizzeria I had this past weekend in NYC. I really want to buy a t-shirt! The forgedabatit one is hilarious! Can I buy one? lol 😆“

“Absolutely awesome, PLENTY of food. If you're still hungry after your order, you have a tape worm, lol“

“listen… hubby & i ordered wings & breadsticks tonight for dinner, it was SO GOOD we almost had to square up over the last breadstick. this is our FAVORITE place to order anything from!! pizza, wings, appetizers, everything is amazing. & we’ve NEVER had any problems with delivery service. i wish i could rate them more than 5 stars. but more delivery coupons please!!!“

“I think I paid more than $5 for two slices of plain pizza before going to the Cure cover band show across the street it does seem like a nice neighborhood place families are eating here other people before they go enjoy the music Pizza is all right... I'm editing this. I feel kind of jerky about having complained about the price. If you are in the rocks and you need a slice of pizza, try Gavino's!“

“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!“

“First time dining at Senti. Not a big menu to choose from, but what you do get is quality. The apps were very good to start the evening and the dinners were excellent. Nice portions and very tasty. Drinks are very good and paired nicely with dinner. We will definitely be back.“

“This location was recommended for a medical school reunion in Pittsburgh by our alumni association. The food was excellent and the portions very generous. We did the family style dining for a large group, and it was very well received. One of my Italian classmates sate the the Cacio e Pepe was the best that he had tasted outside of Milan. I would strongly recommend this location for really first rate Italian food and a great atmosphere“

“The Market in Verona is so awesome. It is so great to go in and get good quality food that you can reheat at home. I recently got the Eggplant Parmesan, pasta and risotto balls. Everything was so delicious and enough for another dinner. My husband got the Chicken Parmesan and really enjoyed it also. The service at the Market is outstanding and it was so nice to also meet Andrew the owner. I am looking forward to coming back again and getting more of this high quality and delicious Italian Food that reminded me so much of what my Mommy used to make. I highly recommend them.“

“The 5 stars rating say it all. I ate there the first year Chef Greg opened the door to the public. I've dined there from its earliest days until now. Pastas, meatballs and sauces are outstanding. I only wish they would bring back the Panna Cotta. The menu is limited but that's how the quality is maintained, this is not Pasta Too.“

“Haven’t had a bad meal yet!!!“

“We (PTO) used Sprezzatura to cater our meal for teachers before our schools Open House, and everything was wonderful! Menu selections included: • Gemelli with Homemade Meat Sauce – twisted pasta served with a rich, slow-simmered sauce • Cavatappi with Creamy Pesto – corkscrew pasta tossed in a vibrant basil pesto sauce The food servings were plentiful, the aroma was inviting, and the dishes were bright, fresh, and full of flavor. You could truly taste the quality of the ingredients. Jen was excellent with communication throughout the process, making everything smooth and easy. We would definitely recommend Sprezzatura for your catering needs!“

“my boyfriend and i tried pelegrino’s after we got sent a menu from them in the mail. we each got a pizza, and the cost was INCREDIBLY lower than the other pizza places we’ve ordered from. they deliver as well, which is nice. what i also appreciate about pelegrino’s is the option for online ordering, which allows me to pay & tip so i don’t have to fumble whenever the delivery comes. it takes some time, but it’s always worth the wait; we’ve never been disappointed!! this is our go to pizza spot!!“

“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!“

“What a surprise! My daughter chose this for her moving away dinner…we had never been there so wasn’t sure what we would get… it was absolutely delicious! It’s a very rare occasion that you find a restaurant that can properly cook seafood, especially mussels and scallops…. They did a fantastic job. Our server Alexis W. was awesome as well!“

“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“

“Amazing dinner in Pittsburgh! Def at the top of the list for Italian!!! Rigatoni with bolognese, foccacia, arctic char, meatballs. All fantastic! Wonderful date night at the bar/antipasto counter. Ordered tiramisu to go and was blown away at the portion and it was absolutely delicious! Our server Tori was wonderful! Just the right pace between courses.“

“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*“

“great food, great service, and great employees!! highly recommend!!“

“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!!“

“Was very surprised, because the establishment is small. The food was excellent. I had arugula salad with vinaigrette and Chicken Parmesan. I wanted every last desert behind the glass counter. No bad choices! I chose cannoli, my wife had the tiramisu 😋“

“Delicious mezza rigatoni in Neopolitan meat sauce“

“Came here when I was on a trip from out of town. The woman on the phone was extremely pleasant, which was very refreshing considering how most to-go places are nowadays. Customer service is truly top notch.

What was even more surprising was how truly delicious every part of our meals were. My wife and I were shocked by the massive portion sizes and the high quality of the food. Everything was amazing.

I will be dreaming about the next time we can come out again, and we won’t be looking for food anywhere else.“

“Amazing! I finally made the burrata raviolis I ordered and there wasn’t one left over! So fresh and so delicious and they puffed up perfectly!“

“10/10 amazing food and service!“

“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!!!“

“Everything is done so professionally. The food, atmosphere, and lounge are exactly what you hope for. Every dish feels like it was created just for you. The preservation of Italian family tradition is felt in each bite and sip. It's worth the experience.“

“Stopped by there yesterday (4/20) on a humbug just for drinks and found my new favorite Italian restaurant!!! Everything about my experience was perfect. Everyone was so nice. The restaurant is beautiful. The meatballs were amazing! I had the best scallops I’ve ever had in my entire life! And I had the best cup of coffee I’ve ever had!!! Can’t wait to go back!! They get TEN STARS!!! Five ain’t enough!!“
