Amazing food, couldn't recommend it enough. Make sure you have reservations it gets busy

It’s a hidden gem, authentic Italian at reasonable prices

Fun visit with large family group. Seating is limited inside and out. Food was wonderful and the bread seems endless. There appeared to be just one server who was hustling. This isn't fast food, prepare to enjoy a dining experience. Plentiful portions. Parking might be a challenge but we were able to find it without too much trouble. Restroom is upstairs and navigation in the small dining area May be a challenge for those with mobility issues.

BYOB, but great food

Awesome little family spot with great food

If you’re looking for the perfect Mom-N-Pop hole-in-the-wall joint in a cool urban neighborhood then this is your place!

Wonderful service, dishes made from the heart and reasonable prices.

They are a BYOB establishment So bring your own bottle and they will cork it and bring you the glasses. There’s a place next door to buy wine.

The interior of the restaurant seats about 50 people and during warm Months there is a patio that seats about 15 or so.

Personally, I found the close quarters rather charming which elicited conversation amongst fellow diners. To that point, the couple sitting next to us, Who were celebrating their anniversary, offered us the remainder of their bottle of red wine as they were departing.

Think of an episode of Goodfellas (without the gangster activity,of course).

I was a transient passing through Pittsburgh, but will definitely return when my travels bring me back.

Best Italian food I've had in a restaurant. Excellent mussels

The food is good but the service is absolutely terrible, they are extremely rude the owner needs to find new staff. We won’t be back.

GREAT pizza! Crust is thin, crisp, & tasty no matter what topping is on it! Wonderful friendly service. I’ll be back for pasta now as well.

6 pm on a Tuesday, almost to capacity and two servers. They hustled! Our waitress never missed a beat and was on top of our orders and always with a smile! Read some reviews about rude and slow servers, but I think they must have been thinking of somewhere else.
Generous and delicious Italian dishes - perfect comfort food on a cold January evening.

I go here a lot. I love the food. However, the service is almost always horrible. They are constantly understaffed and RUDE. This evening we put our name in for a party of 3, abd were quoted 20 minutes. I saw on the list there were about 4 names ahead of mine. We waited patiently in our vehicle for 55 minutes. I then walked back in and asked how much longer. The rude server (one of many), said its still gonna be a while. There are about 5 parties ahead of you. I could see from the list that we got skipped over somehow. I reminded her we were quoted 20 minutes and it had been an hour. She apathetically said "Yeah. We do our best" At that point we left. Its now been 2 hours, with NO CALL. We are happily eating Mexican now, with great service. On a side note, the last 2 times we were there, there was hair in my food. This is it. They lost a customer tonight. Zero out of 5 for me.

They do not take reservations and you could be waiting a long time to be seated. There are too
many better places to eat where you can eat without the long wait. Not worth it.

We went for the first time with some friends last night. Everything was absolutely perfect. The wait staff was perfect from minute one. The food was delicious. We shared an antipasta and polenta in the beginning. We got pizza and 5 other meals. Not one complaint with anything we got. The dining room is extremely small but very nice. We will 100% be going back.

My husband and I moved to this area, and heard good things about the food. We are easy and always say please and thank you, never complain, and tip more than 20%, cause we know serving can be a demanding job. However, when people are rude, it feels wrong not to speak up. The first time we went there, we were told it was an hour wait. I’m not even sure if they were even going to call us because we saw people who got there after us get seated before us, and get their food before us as well. They also told us they didn’t serve dessert on the weekend, but we saw other people with cheesecake. We really wanted to try it since it was a birthday dinner. It seems like if you’re not a part of their club, you won’t get seated or served. The food was delicious, but I have never seen or witness service like this before.
