Their food is pricey, but it is delicious - you get what you pay for.
Had a great dining experience with our server Heather. The food as always was outstanding.

Normally I like this restaurant. I have been there a couple of times. The food is okay but the vibes/apps/drinks are great.
But today we went with our three and one year old. First our waitress yelled at us saying to have our kids sit down because they were walking around the table and the servers don’t look down when they are walking with the food and could trip on them. Which is totally understandable but cmon, seriously. You try telling a one and three year old to sit still. A sweet person from the back came to drop off oranges thinking they would help which we appreciated. Second, there was a whole empty seating room next to us, I’m not sure why we weren’t seated there which would have made everyone’s experience better allowing our kids to least get out of their chairs for a little bit.

Decent Neapolitan style pizza place in Mt. Lebanon. They also have a location in Glenshaw I believe. They have many of the classic Italian pizzas (margherita, Bianca, Quattro formaggio, etc). They also have pasta, salads, and such. I tried out their Bianca pizza and cannoli.
The pizza was alright. Okay price wise, but better places for this kind of pizza exist price wise, and flavor wise. Good char on the pie. Nice thin crust. The cheese was decent, not anything too crazy. I like that they had what seemed like ricotta on there as well. They use a decent amount of olive oil (more than I had expected).
The cannoli was kind of disappointing. Definitely on the expensive side for a single cannoli, although it is pretty big. The filling was okay but it was kind of stale and I think the extra toppings (chocolate chips, pistachio, cherry) just tasted a bit strange.
All in all, an okay pizza shop for Neapolitan pies. It’s nice to try this kind of place every once in a while, but I prefer Mercurios. Still decent Bianca pizza though.
Vegetarian options: Pizza place, tons of options
Kid-friendliness: Little more upscale

Don't waste your money. Eggplant pharm tasted like mush. Pasta tasted like old time sloppy joe. Waitress was by herself & harried. Restaurant is loud.

I had dinner with a friend on a Friday evening. We had a reservation for 6:15 and sat on the patio. We both ordered a drink, about 10 mins later my friend’s drink arrived. Our Server was friendly but didn’t notice my drink never came, I get it, people forget. It didn’t come until midway through our appetizer and I was just finishing it when our server asked if we wanted dessert, we declined but said I’d take a second drink. She dropped off my drink with the check, and came back about 3 minutes later to take it, before we’d touched it. We took the hint and my friend paid the bill. A few minutes later, the manger came to our table. He asked if we could please get up and go upstairs to the wine bar, to free up the table, a 2 top on the patio. I had 3/4 of my drink left and we had just paid the bill a few mins ago. The manger said I could finish my drink on the couch upstairs in the wine bar and there was plenty of open seating. We were confused but said ok, and went upstairs to the wine bar. It was absolutely packed, not one place to sit. We stood in the packed room while I finished my drink, then left. I’ve worked in restaurants my entire life and am extremely sympathetic to servers when someone is camped out in their section on a busy night taking up one of their tables, and sit long after they’ve paid the bill. This wasn’t that. It didn’t take us long to eat and we were given our check while we were still eating. The server dropped the check with my full drink, and just a few minutes later, we were asked to leave our table. The manager absolutely knew there was no where upstairs to sit upstairs, he just wanted us to leave so he could seat that table again. I’ve never asked a table to leave, even those who sat for hours after paying their bill. I’d never expect to be asked to leave with an almost full drink just minutes after we had finished. There’s no excuse for that, I won’t be back.

I ate dinner here with my husband for a date night. We sat in the wine bar which was so cute! We definitely want to go back and sit outside in their patio area! The drinks were really good as was our salad, appetizer (tuna tartar) and pizza! The pizza was absolutely the best part! In a city full of pizza places it can be hard to find authentic wood fire pizza and this place is exactly what I’ve been hoping to find! The only reason I gave 4 star rating instead of 5 was because the pasta dish we had was just okay - the pasta was undercooked and still a little crunchy in the middle and the flavoring was a little bland. We will definitely be back for more pizza!
