50 Best Italian Restaurants near Mckees Rocks

“Food is amazing. Owners is a j*** to the employees, though. They work so hard and he just yells at them.“

“I cannot stress enough how amazing your restaurant and staff are. We’ve been patrons for years and have never experienced any issues. Our most recent two visits with our 3 young grandchildren were effortless! We love the food and staff so much. I will mention Vince as he waited on us both times and is so attentive as ALL the staff we have had. We love the mother/daughter staff, but I regret that I don’t know their names. My personal favorite is the custom calzone. I asked for thin dough and both meat and marinara sauce on the side. I was delighted that it was all perfect and I took half home! It was just as delicious reheated in my oven. Thanks Nick and staff!!! ⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟🏆🌟⭐️🌟⭐️“

“This was my first time going here to eat ?. The menu has a alot of options for your appetite ?. It took me at least 2 times to really decide what to eat with out changing my mind. 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.“

“I took my friend Amy to lunch! I haven't been to Piada in years. We went and I will never forget this place! We were greeted with smiles by all the employees. The employees were all pleasant. I got The Basil Pesto pasta. You can choose penne or spaghetti with it. I chose penne. My friend got a pita pocket that was filled with meatballs and Avocado Chop salad. Wewent to pay after arguing with my friend that I was paying she finally gave in and let me treat her! The cashier that checked us out was super nice, funny and a great Employee! I was pleased with our visit . Amy the cashier that checked us out gave us lids for our food! We couldn't finish it all and she gave us lids for the sauce too! She even got us each a bag. Sometimes people don't wanna go above and beyond. She definitely did! I did use the restroom and it was clean! We will be back soon we both loved our food and experience! She was never there before! Go try it!!“

“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“

“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!!“

“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!“

“I had a fabulous lunch, fried zucchini, salad, scrod Romano , chicken parmigiana and penne pasta, Loved the sauce, owner is welcoming along with staff . Can’t wait to go 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!“

“Love the food & people here! 👍👍“

“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.“

“Great food and great service!“

“I like it a lot, but my 86-year-old full blooded Italian mother loves it. thankfully I pick up extra slices for her to bring to her house on the weekend.“

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

“This is one of my favorite restaurants in the city. The entrees are creative plays on classic Italian dishes, the sides are well executed and the appetizers are incredible. The most dangerous thing is the buckwheat focaccia. It's fluffy, soft and flavorful, and the variety of dipping options are mouthwatering individually. I love the vibe of the restaurant. It's hip without feeling forced, the staff is friendly and they play cool music. It's a great date night spot. Major drawback is the parking. It's on-street, and a crapshoot at best to find a spot near the door. But don't let that stop you from checking this place out. It's worth the trip. Pricing is in-line with most upscale dining in the city but not at the extreme upper end.“

“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*“

“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!“

“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 😋“

“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!!“

“Delicious mezza rigatoni in Neopolitan meat sauce“

“We order takeout from Armstrongs Express quite often and it’s always consistently good! My husband loves their wings. We’ve tried a lot of items on the menu and are always satisfied and full. The staff is so friendly and kind!! I also love that they have a few parking spots reserved for takeout costumers since that parking lot can get busy. Only downside is that they are closed on Sundays when we often want to order takeout“

“10/10 amazing food and service!“

“Every ravioli is amazing - better than I’ve ever had anywhere! Avi is also a really great person. Highly recommend!“

“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 order delivery frequently. Their menu is VAST, and everything on it is addicting. The cheeseburger (is huge) and fries are delicious and the chicken strips are the best I have had in Pittsburgh. Delivery guy is the sweetest, and they get there as fast as they can. Definitely worth it!!!!“

“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.“

“The monster slice of pizza was recommended by a fellow tiktok-er, My family decided to stop and try it out. Everyone approved and it was delicious. Tons of cheese and pepperoni! Thank you for the amazing service!“

“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!“

“The Piada North Hills location has a great staff“
