Food was all pretty disappointing barring our appetizers. Calamari, meatballs, and arancini were all quite tasty. Bang average chicken parm. Veal Marsala was cooked to death, chewiest cut of veal I’ve ever had. Salmon was undercooked. May have been more understandable if not for the price and extensive wait. Would recommend saving some money and going to a cheaper Italian place, you’ll likely end up with better quality food.

Absolutely 5 stars! Vallozzi’s Pittsburgh delivers an unforgettable dining experience. The atmosphere is upscale yet inviting, and the service is top-notch from the moment you walk in. I highly recommend the Bolognese — rich, hearty, and bursting with flavor — and the Alfredo, which is perfectly creamy and indulgent without being too heavy. Both dishes showcase the kind of authentic Italian comfort food that keeps you coming back. A must-visit if you're in Pittsburgh!

Vallozzi’s was the perfect place to host our post-elopement dinner. The ambiance is beautiful, with private spaces that made our celebration feel extra special. The menu had great vegetarian options, and the wine list was extensive. A special thank-you to the chef for creating a custom tiramisu cake—it was absolutely delicious. Our server, David (Dave), was incredibly attentive, patient, and went above and beyond to make our evening memorable. We’re so grateful for the exceptional experience!

Great food and drinks!! We got there when they first opened so it really quiet. Our waiter David was very attentive. Overall a great experience

The food was absolutely wonderful, and we had a great overall experience. We started with calamari, which was cooked to perfection, so lightly fried. Delish! We had the burrata with prosciutto, roasted peppers and arugula pesto. The most superb bite of food! Such a great pairing. We split the veal Marsala, again delicious. Laura at the bar took great care of us - super friendly and accommodating without being intrusive. Katie welcomed us and made sure we got great seats at the bar. I highly recommend and will be going back soon! Julian runs a great show! Bravo!

Our visit was for purposes of celebrating Administrative Professionals' Day. The food was great, and the service was stellar, particularly from the three junior staff members who were celebrating Take Your Child to Work Day.

We had a WONDERFUL dinner celebrating my Fiancé's 24th birthday. We've eaten at Vallozzi's before and had a wonderful experience, but our dinner last night was phenomenal. We were seated promptly after arriving for our reservation. It was a Tuesday night, so there weren't many other groups there. We ordered a bottle of resiling, and we were treated to one glass each of celebratory prosecco, on the house! We also ordered the bread, served with ricotta cheese and oil to hold us over for the main courses. I ordered the Gnocchi and my fiancé ordered the Linguini Florentine. The gnocchi was cooked perfectly! The sauce was so flavorful, as well. It was almost stew-like with carrots, broccoli, peas, and cherry tomatoes in a delicious red sauce. My fiancé loved the lightness of the linguini, and the shrimp was cooked well. As travelers who have visited Italy, we can say with confidence that these dishes certainly match the deliciousness of authentic Italian meals. Though we refused dessert as we thoroughly enjoyed our main courses, our server brought over two tasty truffles. She said she didn't want us to leave without a bit of a birthday celebration. As proven, our server was wonderful and very attentive; she cracked jokes and treated us extremely well. If you're looking for a taste of Italy in Downtown Pittsburgh with attentive and generous waitstaff, don't skip Vallozzi's!

We made a late night reservation. Food was great, loved the crispy Brussels sprouts. The cocktails were exceptional. Paint the town red is a must try. Cam, our host, Stephanie our server, made us feel so welcome. Both were very attentive. We will definitely be back!
Kathy
We would definitely go back! Food was very good, Service was excellent, atmosphere was great
Madeline
Our arancini came out cold first. It was comped. Then our pasta came out lukewarm instead of hot. Not the best food for the price. Disappointed
classic italian restaurant but with plenty of variety on the dishes they offer. arancini, lamb sacchetti, and braised short ribs were all delicious. also, save room because they offered complimentary whipped ricotta, olive oil, and bread!

Vallozzi’s exceeded my expectations! It’s not only the kind of place where you can celebrate something big but also the kind of place where can swing by on a Friday night and hopefully snag seats at the bar. They have an extensive cocktail, beer, and wine menu as well as a couple mocktails. The portions were generous, and they also have some vegetarian options. All of the servers were personable and attentive, and we had a lovely experience and left very full (and with leftovers!)
Steve Turkall
Excellent food and dining experience. We attended a 90th birthday party and really enjoyed everything from the appetizers to the entrees. The service was outstanding! We used the valet service, so the parking was great.
