“It was so busy when we got there. The man helping park cars told us we might not get in without reservations, but he said to try anyway - he was so friendly. We went in and everyone inside was so welcoming and smiling- even though they were extremely busy. They gave us a little table by the fire place which we both ended up really liking. The waitress was so sweet! The food was AMAZING!! The best chicken parm ever- and my hubby orders it everywhere we go!!! If you haven't been here- you're missing out!“

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.

“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!“

“We came here for dinner on a Friday night in August. We were traveling and checked the map for something that was close and looked good. The menu looked good and I liked the name because I have seen the Godfather a bunch of times but I was a little hesitant at first because it was in a strip mall.

We sat at the bar and were immediately greeted by a bartender who gave us menus and took our drink order. She gave a little time to decide on meals and then out that order in for us. We ordered the calamari to share and we wanted to split the shrimp scampi as well. There weren’t too many people on the bar side. I couldn’t see the dining room area. There are couple Godfather posters which was cool.

The food came out shortly after ordering and the kitchen was able to split the pasta for us which we appreciated because we know how messy it can get at the bar when we try to do that ourselves with pasta. We were grateful they could do that - some places won’t. The calamari was very good. They pasta was good. I wish it would have had a little bit of lemon in it to make the garlic more pronounced but that’s just my preference.

The bartender was friendly and attentive. She seemed to have good rapport with the other customers who maybe were regulars. The atmosphere was relaxed and casual.

They have a lottery machine. We weee hoping to get a winning powerball ticket that night but the machine was offline. Oh well.

Prices were comparable to other similar places we go at home. Parking was easy - since it’s in the strip mall it shares a big lot with surrounding businesses.

Overall we had a good time.“

“We have been dining here for 35 years! Sadly, Les and Pauline have passed, but Edmund is continuing the excellence. Just visited for our daughter's birthday and it was perfect. The crab hoelzel and mafalda are delicious appetizers. Chicken parm is unique and yummy,ditto for the lobster Romano. We often disappointed with pricy meals, but never here. It is old school, so not for everyone, but we love it.“

“Very good food very good service did not wait long for food and yes I will return an try another item on the menu chicken Parm was delicious“

“Delicious, accommodating to a large group, and yummy!“

“Been going to pasta too well over 20 years everything is about perfection !!! Definitely the one and only Definitely !!! I had rigatoni and hot sausage amazing my wife had cheese raviolis she totally loved she hasn't been there in a while. The dipping oil and bread omg the best. We took home a pizza a a Italian hoagie in a class by themselves Definitely a must portions are amazing too very reasonable too !!!!“

“Stepping into GLADS DELI is a treat for both the stomach and the soul. While there are plenty of places claiming to make a decent sandwich, this spot truly delivers the best hoagie around, hands down. The bread is always fresh the meat and cheese are piled high, and every ingredient tastes like it was sourced with care. Whether you go for the classic Italian or one of their specialty builds, YEA BUDDY you're guaranteed a massive, satisfying, and perfectly constructed meal. But what truly elevates this experience above the rest is the team. The staff is wonderful—always greeting you with a smile, incredibly patient, and clearly dedicated to making sure your order is perfect. This fantastic atmosphere starts right at the top, thanks to the great owner, He is often around, interacting with customers, and their passion for quality food and community shines through in every detail, from the cleanliness of the shop to the friendliness of the service. If you’re looking for phenomenal food served by people who genuinely care, you absolutely must visit It’s more than just a sandwich shop; it’s a local treasure.“

“How can I say no to a Haunted Pizza shop? Turns out I can't. It's cozy and cute (Beavis and Butthead as Freddie and Jason - *snort*) and the pizza was really good. Crust was wonderfully crispy, the meatballs on the pizza were wonderful and the buffalo wings were delicious!“

“Try the Chicken parm family meal deal .. you won't be disappointed!!“

“I called IVP to order pizza for a school sports team event occurring on a Monday. I didn’t realize they are typically closed on Monday, but the person I spoke with was so pleasant and helpful and took our order anyway. They said they are usually there on Mondays to make dough, so they were happy to help us out with the pizzas we needed. Everything was perfect and ready exactly when we asked for it. I have always had great service and great quality food every time I have order from them.“

“We were leaving a funeral service in the evening of 9/9/25, and had reservations at Tillies for 20 people. When we showed up they acted like we were a bother. Insanely rude to everyone. The last thing a family should be dealing with at that time. I made a game time decision at that point, I stepped outside and I called Luciano’s around 7pm on a hope and prayer that last second they would be able to accommodate 20 people and told them our situation. Luciano’s was absolutely SO kind. They asked how long until we would be there, I said “20 minutes”. They said “we’ll be ready”. We all got up and left Tillies, and 20 minute later got to Luciano’s. They had tables lined up and ready for our party. Our two servers were so absolutely amazing I wish I could remember their names. But just 2 awesome young ladies. They were so kind to a family that just lost a loved one. The service, the food, the compassion was just out of this world. Everyone was so happy. Thank you guys so much for making a very gloom, and sad day much better for this family. We’ve always liked the food here but now we will be making a point to visit much more often. Thank you so much, again.“

“Absolutely delicious homemade food, great little ma & pa diner the employees are so sweet and inviting. We’ll definitely be back. Also the owner was there and she’s so pleasant to talk to hear the history of her little diner. Thank you very much for this great experience 🙏“

“It’s always crowded
I just moved back to BP
This is my 1st time at Al’s cafe
That’s a knife and fork burger
3rd time that has happened
And the bun was not toasted that needs fixed for all the burgers
And if i can make a suggestion
Add venison to the menu
It’s a log cabin style restaurant when you walk in
Pennsylvania has a deer problem so during hunting season add venison to the menu
The menu is off the charts there’s a lot to choose from
We have a lot of hunters in south western Pa so a game menu would be good
A rabbit rattlesnake appetizer would be great
Keep the REESE'S desert on the menu“
