50 Best Italian Restaurants near Mckeesport

“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 !“

“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!!!“

“Best mouth watering pizza I’ve ever had! Had a large order delivered to my house for dinner. The driver was respectful and nice. The food was hot, fresh and delicious! Excellent job! Thank you!!!! Also, the girl on the phone was awesome too!“

“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!“

“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“

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

“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.“

“My new favorite drink is a French 75. I pair it with baked olives, twice cooked fries and a margarita pizza. A favorite casual meal!“

“Love the AYCE Crab legs! The Sex On The Beach drink that I got was great! The service was great as well. I recommend!“

“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 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.“

“Delicious food! Huge portions! Will be back!“

“At the time of writing this, Alta Via has an average rating of 3.7 and I cannot, for the life of me, fathom why. The food was fantastic and served quickly. The portions are generous, and the pricing for a half vs full is linear (half portion is exactly half the price) which is not typical-you’re usually charged a bit more than half in restaurants. Our service was great; Anna was attentive and took questions to help us navigate the menu. The atmosphere is just right with respect to volume and very tidy. Somehow they made the seating comfortable yet fine and all pleasing to the eye. The pricing is deeply reasonable-our meal would have been $100 if not for the wine bottle, and that’s an appetizer, four half portion entrees, and desert. The food is creative, and entrees have been crafted carefully and thoughtfully. Frankly, it’s just way too nice to be that close to a Primantis.“

“My wife and I had dinner there tonight 8/22 our 43 wedding anniversary. First timers there and the meal was delicious! From the fried zucchini app to the Seafood trio meal perfect. Thank you for a wonderful dinner!“

“Excellent food and service at Fox Chapel location . My first time here busy Saturday crowd Gabby was a wonderful bar server actually excellent. I had Bruschetta salad which I highly recommend Over any other“

“First visit this weekend. Had their pizza which was great…but the cannolis! Best I have ever had. I will now have to stop by every time I’m in the ‘burgh. Definite 5 stars“

“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!“

“My wife and I had the pleasure of dining here this weekend. It was unbelievable! The service ,menu and quality of food was outstanding.“

“Awesome small restaurant in the Strip. Exactly what we were looking for to celebrate our anniversary-cozy, calm, super tasty. I also think price is genuinely super worth it - $45 per person for 2 courses + tip is crazy. First course comes a bit small as expected, but second course was surprisingly filling. Scallops were great, duck pappardelle was super rich, sausage ragu was very flavorful. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a small restaurant that knows what it’s doing. Even treated us to glasses of sparkling wine on the house!“

“Delicious mezza rigatoni in Neopolitan meat sauce“

“We have been going to Piccolo Forno for years. It is my favorite restaurant. The staff is outstanding. The food is creative and menu items are changed regularly to make use of seasonal ingredients. There are so many delicious choices on the menu that it is difficult to decide what to order. The food is reasonably priced and the corkage fee is less than most restaurants. This restaurant is a gem for anyone who loves delicious Italian food!“

“Neat little space. Initially drawn here by a Facebook event claiming “free jazz”. It was a musician playing a giant xylophone-esque instrument and ended up being a delightful time. I ordered a glass of wine and was served an extremely hefty pour (no complaints here). Our server was really kind and checked on us intermittently, and ended up chatting with us for a while. Hope to go back one day when it’s nice out for a sit on the patio as it was pouring down rain while we were there.“

“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!“

“This place is absolutely incredible! From the cool modern atmosphere (and great music) to the impeccable food with flavor so amazing I’ve never tasted anything like it before. I highly recommend the spicy meatballs as an appetizer and the baby carrots as a side dish. It was so nice being able to view the chefs cooking in the open kitchen from the dining room. Dominic our server was 10/10 and certainly added to this wonderful experience.

Can’t wait to return! :)“

“It's like being at your favorite dinner table with family and friends! With our beautiful Italian family gathering around the bar area in numbers of about 15 Friday night, we had a blast! Yes, Joe is our cousin and that is definitely warm and wonderful but Louise, Joe's matriarch, was there too which made it extra special. Lulu, chef, Delaney, "Ms. Brown", Linda and all staff were amazing and fun. So the food, sauteed arthichoke hearts, pasta fagioli, wedding soup, Chicken Romano, Veal Romano, beverage list unsurpassed and our usual standards and oh the red velvet cheesecake was picture and taste perfect. All food made to order fresh and it definitely shows the attention to every morsel we enjoyed. Oh, the bread is made locally and it's the best. We were almost the last to leave and we have all the photos to show our fun time. Can't wait to go back for their Sunday sauce. Salute and see you soon. Thank you for your "cordial" cordial to cap off the night. Highly recommend. There is nothing better than a cozy Italian restaurant that is one of a kind. Spring is here and the bocce court will be ready!“

“Great food and cocktails! Cauliflower dip is amazing!“

“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!“

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

“I’ve been lived around this place but never get a chance to order. I’m glad I tried to take out today. Everything is awesome. Mussels are big size, fresh and delicious. Wedding soup is phenomenal. Sausage flatbread and meatballs are delicious too. Would definitely come back! They have dog friendly patio too.“

“The food and service were sooo amazing!!!!“

“Get the shells, that’s all you need to know! Perfection!“

“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!!“

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

“I enjoy the one in Penn Hills there pizza is the best around Penn Hills it can’t be beat“

“The food was excellent, atmosphere was great and the service as usual was outstanding. Tracey is a top notch waitress.“

“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.“

“Such delicious food, great service & such a nice atmosphere. The salads, Vegetable Lasagna & Spaghetti and Meatballs are delicious. The Tarts & biscotti are really good. We will definitely be back again.“

“Food and company was great. Soup -delish. Pizza was soft but had a great crunch. Pepperoni was a little spicy but still a wonderful huge slice of pizza.“

“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.“

“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“

“This location has great staff! They are attentive and helpful. The food is always consistent and very good. My kids love it here as well! I think the only detail that needs looked at is the carpets need a good cleaning and the tables need a good scrub!“

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

“Found this place living at children’s hospital, everyday I just wanted to leave and go here. Never knew what the menu would be like you would just have to go and see for yourself. Something new always. My husband swears they have the best wedding soup hands down. Im completely obsessed with the carrot cake and I will never be able to go or get it anywhere else. Best carrot cake ever! The staff and owner are super friendly and very easy to talk to. Need a laugh they chuckle and make the day a little brighter. I wish this place was a little closer to home we have Maria’s dinner every other night. We will definitely be back and can’t thank you all enough for everything the last few weeks. Sam & Day.“

“Went for lunch today, food as good as it always was, best meatball hoagie and fish sandwich ever! Our server Andreana was perfect!“

“We love Little Nippers - it's been our go-to pizza place for years. Outstanding people and service, and the pizza is always fresh and delicious. The wings can be really great too. Highly recommend this place, especially if you can order as take out and pick it up when it's all fresh out of the oven (try ordering directly from the website or the Slice app). It's awesome to have such a great pizza place in the neighborhood!“

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

“Ordered Romano Crusted Chicken & Pappardelle with mushrooms, spinach with a white cream sauce and added Shrimp. It was delicious and it came with soup or salad and bread.“

“The best white pizza around .“

“Best Italian meal I’ve had since my Italian mom and grandma’s food. From the sauces to the pasta and the potato balls are outstanding. I will patronize again and highly recommend.“

“Great service - Great food“
