Excellent food and service. The room is very small but otherwise very nice.Parking: There is free public parking around the corner. Spaces were all taken but one which was very tight due to a poorly parked car. I ended up parking on the street in front of the restaurant in a slightly tight space. That's actually the most difficulty I've had parking there.

My daughter, mother, and I went to Sarafino's on March 9, 2034, to celebrate my mom's 78th birthday. This was our first time there. My mother wanted to try it. I left my mom and daughter off in front of the restaurant There was no place to park. I parked a distance away. We were told that there was a 45 minute wait and encouraged to wait in our car. The restaurant is very small. The tables were very close together. It was extremely LOUD. This is not the atmosphere for us.

This is a little gem of a restaurant, tucked in Crafton, close to the border of Pittsburgh. I went there for lunch with three other friends. The restaurant doesn't seem to have a special luncheon menu, but the regular menu has a number of items in the $10 range, which makes it affordable. We all got paninis that came with a lovely pasta side salad. I also got a dinner pasta to-go. Everyone loved their sandwich, and the diners around us were enjoying Pizza, a crab cake salad (which was the special of the day) and soup. I would return again and again if I had the opportunity. The server was a delightful woman who was managing the small restaurant on her own. I took one point off the atmosphere because the restroom is upstairs on the second floor; it is not convenient nor accessible for anyone with climbing/walking issues. This is a terrific little restaurant.

Pizza was a 6.9, decent but would prefer it cooked a bit longer. Good pepperoni. Polenta was very fresh and served as hot as lava. Didn't have any flavor and could have been served with more sauce. Greens and beans were decent but again lacked flavor. Overall it's a cool place with old school vibes.

The is a quaint neighborhood Italian restaurant which does not take reservations. The seating area is small, maybe 10-12 tables, with no waiting area. Now unto the food. The menu is varied with daily specials. The pomodoro sauce is overwhelming without any seasoning; just tomato. The arancini is delicious although a little cold on the inside. The chicken and veal parmagiana are tender and flavorful. The risotto only had 5 shrimp with about 2 cups of risotto.; very disappointing. This is a bring-your-own bottle restaurant. Unfortunately dessert is not available. I will not return to this restaurant.

We didn't get to eat here. The staff kept us waiting for an 2.5 hours saying there were 2 parties ahead of us, while seating at least 4 families in the meantime. Will not be going back here again.

Best Italian food anywhere. Makes Olive Garden look like McDonalds. I always get the panini, any of them. The people who work there are very friendly!
