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“

Simple and to the point. See for yourself.“

I highly recommend the Verona Village Inn.“

“Our food was excellent. The three of us got the exact same thing. Prime Rib. The wedding soup was great, the prime rib was cooked perfectly, the service was very good, and the bread was so good. I have lived in the area my entire life and finally gave it a try. It exceeded my expectations by far. We will be back.“

“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!“

“Great food! Never walk out disappointed.“

“Shout out to the night crew!!! I can’t help but go 1-2 nights/week and every time I go the vibes are good and the food is better. They keep their spirits high and chicken spicy!!!

Keep up the energy night crew! See you next week ??“

“We had a fantastic dinner. The service was perfect and the manager, Jason, is more than accommodating. Made you feel right at home. 🤩🔥🤩“

“My son and I had dinner for Mother’s Day. Our first experience at this restaurant. Aside from a small miscommunication where the side dishes were delivered to the table alongside the apps, everything was very good. They corrected the sides and delivered fresh with the entrees, the sides were easily large enough to share amongst three or four people and the food was very good. The app, sides and entrees, as well as the gluten free chocolate cake were all delicious. I definitely recommend this restaurant and plan to return.“

“Group of four had a wonderful experience dining outside. Service from our waitress was wonderful - she made the experience even more pleasant. Whipped rocotta and buckwheat bread is not to be missed as a shared starter. Dinners arrived a bit late but was totally worth the wait. Everything was cooked to perfection. Chicken parmesan was excellent and portion large enough for another meal at home. Rack of lamb and mushroom pasta dish also wonderful. Sides are large enough to share. Restaurant Group surcharge added to the bill was questionable since prices already on the high side. But overall a great place for a special night out.“

“Hands down best pizza on Route 8 without question. Generational family owned pizza shop who remember their customers like close friends or family. All of the food is great, however the Primavera pizza is a personal favorite along with the Italian or steak hoagies. The Grande Special Sicilian is an absolute wonder, the cheese reseals the cut if you get what I’m saying. I was coming to you guys as a kid when you were in the strip mall across 8, super happy when I get to have a friendly chat picking up the food!

“prices are extremely reasonable. The service staff is top notch. Very large servings. The pizza was good. But, I was expecting a Vinny pie. It's a great place to eat.“

“Delicious mezza rigatoni in Neopolitan meat sauce“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Loved this place! From out of town and I felt like I fit in right off the bat! Kim was amazing! Very impressed! Friendly, helpful and attentive. Crowd was fun and engaging. Kim suggested the deal on the beer and the pizza. Both delicious! Pizza was outstanding! Especially for the price. Just loved the feel of this place! Wish it was in Texas! Can't wait to try the sandwiches! Homemade chips also! A total local gem!“

“my husband and I went to the pleasure bar today for dinner the food was excellent our waitress Jill was perfect could not have been nicer thank you for a great food and great service“

“Best pizza in Pittsburgh, in my humble opinion. The service is always fantastic, and the pizza is second to none. It's a little on the expensive side, but very well worth it. Worth a try if you're in the Oakland/North Oakland area and want a very competent, traditional pizza. The other dishes are less enjoyable, though.“

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

“My lady is taking time for her. Please stop in before it’s too late. Love her and the food she makes and bakes. 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.“

“IWasn't overly l impressed. Ate lunch here today after my mom's sigleftnificant other (Joe) passed away. I have to say I was pretty hungry by the time we the cemetery, and I was almost excited to see Chicken Romano on the buffet. It wasn't terrible, but the chicken tasted like very low quality meat. I was not the only one tobacco that“

“Please give Chris a raise! Been here for many years! Makes the best drinks brings everyone’s energy to a different level when he enters the building he makes your bar fun and uplifting! He’s is truly a special human being and I want someone to recognize his talents! He’s someone you don’t want to lose! Love Dimitri and Kya! You make are drinks special! Thank you Chris!!!“

“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!“

“Took my 4 year old granddaughter there for her birthday because she wanted chicken noodle soup. Even though the soup was great, there weren't the typical big noodles that kids like. When the waitress came and I told her that, she brought a Togo container where she fished out all the big noodles. My granddaughter was so happy. Now that's what I call great service and a great waitress! My meal was fantastic as always!“

“The food here is TO DIE FOR!!! And the service is awesome“

“Had a wonderful experience today at Roman Bistro. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Our waiter David was terrific. I chose the perfect restaurant for my birthday lunch.“

“There was three of us. The three amigos. Friends. Chicken parm. Chicken Alfredo. Steak gargonzola. Awesome food, better waitress. Melissa is a southern girl with the mannerisms of the south. Pleasant and efficient. Joy to have as a helper. Thank you!“
