“A Fantastic 5-Star Find – Well Worth the Drive!

We traveled 45 minutes for our first visit to Lucchesi’s to celebrate a birthday dinner, and it exceeded all expectations. From the moment we walked in, we could feel the charm and warmth of this local favorite. The restaurant has a nostalgic, white tablecloth atmosphere that strikes the perfect balance between upscale and comfortable. It’s clearly a go-to spot for special occasions, another table was celebrating as well, which added a festive touch to the evening.

We started with the roasted peppers and cheese appetizer, which was a delicious and flavorful way to kick off the meal. For our entrées, we chose the Lobster Romano and the Spots, both were fantastic, prepared with care, and absolutely packed with flavor.

Each dinner came with a fresh salad topped with house made dressing and blue cheese, which was simple yet really well done and delicious. For our sides, we selected the pasta with their homemade red sauce. Just a heads up: the sauce is pretty sweet, but as someone who typically doesn’t go for sweet red sauces, I have to admit this one was an exception. It was rich, smooth, and surprisingly delicious.

The menu isn’t overly large, but we found that to be a strength. It’s thoughtfully put together, focusing on high quality, well executed dishes instead of an overwhelming number of choices.

A special thank you to our server, Ronnie, who went above and beyond. Friendly, attentive, and professional, Ronnie helped make the birthday celebration even more special.

Important tip: Lucchesi’s is only open Thursday through Saturday from 5 PM to 9 PM, so be sure to make a reservation. With limited hours and high demand, it’s a smart move to book ahead.

We were truly impressed with our first visit and can’t wait to return. If you’re looking for a memorable dinner with incredible food, outstanding service, and a cozy, elegant atmosphere, Lucchesi’s should absolutely be on your list.“

“On Saturday I had to call 911 for a friend that was in physical distress and was very sick. Monessen Fire Dept/EMS showed up as they knew the ambulance was delayed. They treated my friend promptly and with the utmost kindness and respect. She and I both really appreciated their true concern and the sincere respect they showed for her in a very dire circumstance. She has been hospitalized since and has been talking about these guys everyday since. Thank you very much!“

“My family grew up in the area and spent many days at Kopkos. We recently went back to area and had to visit and have a beer. Everyone one very friendly. The owner even bought us a round of drinks.Great beer and great prices. Check it out for a friendly neighborhood bar.“

“Christie is awesome. Entire staff does a great job! 🙂👍“

“If you love beer and especially if you want to try some of the best brews in the greater Pittsburgh area, definitely make the trek - it's worth it. Can't wait to come back and enjoy these fantastic beers & take in some of the surrounding nature trails.“

“We visited Rizzle’s Roadhouse for the first time today! It is half bar and half restaurant so we expected the typical bar food. WHAT A SURPRISE! THE FOOD WAS EXCELLENT! There were four of us and we all agree and will go back even though we live an hour away. We had grilled chicken mahi-mahi, ribs and steak - all excellent! You won’t be disappointed!“

“Definitely do not come here for the atmosphere or the cleanliness. It hasn't seen a sanitizer since 1980. Literally. It was pretty bad. BUT....we committed to staying because someone gave the food a 5 stars review...and I see why. It was hands down the best breakfast I've had. Every part of that meal was a 5. Only the food, the coffee was awful, so not the beverages, just the food. I was in total shock. That cook needs a raise! Also,it's a shame, someone needs to clean this place up, and give the dining area a face lift. Because, the food their serving deserves to be served on a nice plate, and put on a clean, bought this century, booth. It also smells real bad, they need to open up the windows and let some fresh air in there.“

“We ran across Vesta 88 at the Greene County Harvest Festival in Waynesburg Pa. Met Brian there and had to try the delicious smelling food. After enjoying an Italian sausage baguette at the festival, and seeing what a great guy Brian was, my wife and I had to try the restaurant. First noted, was how clean and inviting it was. The wait staff couldn’t have been nicer and more attentive. We just bought dishes off of the appetizer menu because it was early and we hadn’t brought our appetite. I had the stuffed mushrooms and poutine. Remember I said I wasn’t hungry ?. Both dishes were fresh, hot and delicious. The seafood stuffing in the mushrooms was one of the best I’d ever had. My wife had the flatbread. It was delicious. Fresh and homemade tasting. We can’t wait to go back and try the blackened ribeye or lasagna. It’s worth a trip if you’re not local. Finding great food at a reasonable cost is so challenging. We’ll definitely be back soon.“
