50 Best Italian Restaurants near South Park

“I called IVP to order pizza for a school sports team event occurring on a Monday. I didn’t realize they are typically closed on Monday, but the person I spoke with was so pleasant and helpful and took our order anyway. They said they are usually there on Mondays to make dough, so they were happy to help us out with the pizzas we needed. Everything was perfect and ready exactly when we asked for it. I have always had great service and great quality food every time I have order from them.“

“A group of 5 of us visited Dish last night and the meals were amazing. Grilled Squid, the best I have ever had. Where else can you find it not breaded and fried? 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!“

“...simply, absolutely amazing. You know what the buzz is about...“

“Always delicious! I love the options for food they have. We did however go between the lunch and dinner rush, and their pepperoni sticks, weren't very fresh, they should have tossed those and made new ones. But we were too hungry to ask or wait for fresh ones.“

“From the valet parker to the hostess to the waiter Russell it was an awesome night. He was so attentive, informative, and funny. We loved our meals and highly recommend it. Food is delicious!!“

“My wife and I had dinner there tonight 8/22 our 43 wedding anniversary. First timers there and the meal was delicious! From the fried zucchini app to the Seafood trio meal perfect. Thank you for a wonderful dinner!“

“This place has NEW GEM on menu every visit... Last nite at Bar 🍸i was surrounded by patrons enjoying EGGPLANT MEATBALLS w a Ricotta drizzle on each. Didn't know they Existed BUT they didn't exist long in front of me. Getting another order today & will post pic.“

“We were there on Saturday at 4pm. Parking lot already had at least 1/2 dozen cars. Did not have reservation so decided to eat at bar. I have never eaten at bar seating before so I wasn’t sure if I would like it. Let me tell you, it was so enjoyable! The bar was completely full within 15 minutes and the bartender was awesome. She was so friendly and competent. Complete pro!! No one was ever waiting for anything! Food was delicious. I will definitely sit at this bar and eat anytime.“

“this has become my wife and I's favorite Italian restaurant in the South Hills. portions are huge. Food is absolutely delicious. Quick warning though if you order the stuffed hot peppers they will be HOT. They're absolutely delicious though!“

“We have gone twice nice- Sooooo Good. The owners are the ones cooking! Joe is a master of the pizza oven. The toppings are perfectly mixed and heated to melt together and the flat bread crust technique should be studied by children!!! It’s BYOB which makes it a reasonable high-end dinner with a clean atmosphere and friendly staff. I cannot recommend it enough!!!“

“Amazing food. The buffalo chicken pizza and fresh cut fries are the best around!“

“I always have the best food here! Their pink pasta is amazing.“

“We had an amazing experience this evening! The feast of the seven fishes! It was incredible the owner and chef, Ben Bartilson did an incredible job. Our server Jami was the best!“

“We order takeout from Armstrongs Express quite often and it’s always consistently good! My husband loves their wings. We’ve tried a lot of items on the menu and are always satisfied and full. The staff is so friendly and kind!! I also love that they have a few parking spots reserved for takeout costumers since that parking lot can get busy. Only downside is that they are closed on Sundays when we often want to order takeout“

“Our new favorite restaurant to visit in Pittsburgh! Everything we’ve tried has been delicious, but the fried zucchini…. to die for!👌 *chef’s kiss*“

“This was our first time coming here and my family was pleasantly surprised! Our server was nice and everyone’s food was really good! It was fresh and homemade and we will definitely make a trip back coming from Somerset County.“

“We live in Latrobe and were in the area. The food was amazing and priced good for the portion size. Owner was there and was super nice. Defiently worth the trip to go there and eat.“

“What a surprise! My daughter chose this for her moving away dinner…we had never been there so wasn’t sure what we would get… it was absolutely delicious! It’s a very rare occasion that you find a restaurant that can properly cook seafood, especially mussels and scallops…. They did a fantastic job. Our server Alexis W. was awesome as well!“

“My husband loved their Red Top Pizza, said it's definitely the best he's had so far. 💕 And the owners are so kind and friendly and you can tell they want to connect with their customers. :). They also had this chocolate cake (which I'm not sure is a normal part of their menu) but it was absolutely delicious. 😭 Shame I mentioned it around my kids and I had to share.“

“Our server was just bizarre. Running around like a chicken with her head cut off. She was forgetting things and screwing things up. She would basically run away while we were still talking to her. This was 7pm on a Saturday. After forgetting my soup, I was eventually brought an incredibly messy bowl, as if the soup was literally thrown into the bowl. She would say she was going to get us refills and then come back without refills. She did package our leftovers which was nice of her and offer us more bread.“

“Staff could've been a little friendlier, but otherwise a very nice place.

Update: Staff was nicer this time, but I was not happy that no one told us that happy hour prices didn't apply to restaurant patrons, only at the bar.“

“Visited this fine establishment with some friends and I must say, the food is amazing. The venue is for fine dining and is small and quaint. So make sure you make a reservation or you will find yourself out of luck. It can also be pricey but with what you get it's well worth a special night with your spouse or small group. I had the Lobster Romano which was amazing. And my wife had the filet mignon. She's already asking to return for her birthday. Everything here is quality. A+“

“I sent my friends to this place with my warmest recommendations. I visit this restaurant often. This recommendation is always successful. The dishes they serve are great and the crew is very friendly and cooperative. always when we eat in this place we have a pleasing time. I warmly recommend this restaurant.“

“I had dinner there tonight. Server was Mo, she was welcoming and friendly, also had great recommendations as it was my first time there. Food was great, I really liked the duck. Would recommend for sure, and will be back soon.“

“We went to the newly renovated Moon Township location. The food was absolutely amazing and flavorful! Portion sizes were huge! We’ll definitely be back. We gave the service a 3/5 stars not because of our waitress (she was outstanding) but because of the rude “front desk” employee! I’ve seen multiple other complaints about what I can assume is the same person. This employee nearly ruined our experience!“

“We like to try local Mon Valley eatery's and came across this well known but not to us gem in Monessen Pa. Absolutely clean and fresh inside, fabulous food and portion size priced average for post pandemic resturants that have it figured out. All adds up very strongly recomend and will definitely be back !!“

“First of all I want to say my family and I absolutely love Pasta Too. Raymond runs a fine establishment and before today we have never had an issue. Today however our server completely ruined our experience at Pasta Too. Ca***e, our server acted like every request we had was a chore. She was ignorant and made both my family and I feel like a bother. I’m not sure if this is common with her but we have never had such a terrible dinning experience. Especially at Pasta Too. Other than that the food and every single other server we’ve dined with there has been incredible. We will be back. But we will request anyone but her as a server.“

“Great service - Great food“

“Always fresh, always fire 🔥 well worth the price 👌“

“Just what we needed for an afternoon snack and drink. Friendly waitstaff, quick service, clean, efficient and the red sauce and spinach dip were very good. My friend also placed a to go order that was ready for her when we were ready to leave.“

“terrific food and service ~ staff was great Saturday night as usual. 👍“

“Stumbled upon Albero Verde, when looking for a fine dining restaurant for our Anniversary that wasn't $50-100/ plate and was more accessible than downtown Pittsburgh....Albero Verde, did NOT disappoint. The owner and Chef, Anthony Pupo, introduced himself while delivering a small, unique tasting of a wonton with a twist. This small but mighty restaurant provided top notch service, an intimate dining experience, good music, the option of BYOB, and the FOOD was too die for. The wonderful waitress suggested that we split the Wedge salad, and I appreciated the suggestion as 1 was plenty for 2 people...but when she brought it out, they had plated it on 2 seperate plates for us, taking away the hassle of dividing the dish ourselves at the table. We then had the Octopus and Beans and Greens appetizers.... both delicious. For our main course, we had the Fran and Fudge (named after the Chef's grandparents) a HEALTHY sized bone in porkchop with brie and goat cheese pierogi and the Scallop and Langoustine Spaghetti... both excellent! For dessert we had the Pomegranate Semifreddo, a refreshing frozen yogurt and a mini chocolate cannoli. We will absolutely be back! Thank you, Chef, for a lovely and tasty evening.“

“Visited this morning for the first time. Got egg and cheese sandwiches, one croissant one ciabatta - both were amazing!! The lattes were delicious and rich. You can really taste the quality of the espresso. They were short staffed (1 employee who was grinding hard!) so I did wait about 25 minutes for two coffees and sandwiches. I didn’t mind that much and it was well worth the wait. Can’t wait to go back!“

“We sat on the outdoor covered patio on a perfect day. It was great! Thin crust pizza was very good and not greasy crust! We had sausage and zucchini pizza. It was excellent. Sauce is a little spicy but delicious! Debbie our server was so nice and helpful!“

“We had 7 people. Made reservations 2 wks prior. Food was delicious. One person got chicken parm, specifically answered "no" when asked if she wanted noodles. The meal came with noodles under her chicken. Also, there was an issue with their check. Waitress never brought the slip that gets signed from using credit card. She insisted she gave it, didn't understand they needed the part the customer actually signs. Not sure what the issue was but waitress realized she never actually rang it up which is why they didn't get the slip. So those 2, although they did like the food, weren't real happy with the service. Waitress spoke in double time. So fast it was hard to understand what she was saying. Seemed kind of moody so not sure if it was just a bad day for her, or if she's always this way. But the food was delicious!“

“Miss Lauren was our server!!!! (beautiful blonde woman) . She was amazing. She really, really reminds you of what good sevice means. The food was well cooked on time and all of the staff had a good attitude they had no problem being accommodating. I didn't notice a manager.When I asked for them it was to give a compliment.They said that they were in the kitchen they were gonna go get them, I said not to worry about it so I took the time to write this instead. I was well pleased to see that even without a heavy manager presence they handled themselves like God is watching. I'd be proud of my staff. We are quiet a diverse table from neuro divergent to allergic. Miss Lauren held it down!! First time at this location I'll be returning.“

“Excellent Pizza 🍕 I'll be back!“

“I was starting to become disappointed with my two favorite pizza spots, so I gave Slice a try and was not disappointed. It had the perfect crisp crust. I can’t wait till my next pizza fix. Thanks slice for an enjoyable pizza.“

“Anna and her staff were exceptional . The night before sister’s wedding there had been an accident to the front of the building. All was cleaned and ready for a great night. Staff, food and venue were excellent and I would recommend highly to anyone in need of a venue.“

“"One bite , you know the rules" sweet sauce , salty cheese . the perfect combination. As a former New Yorker and pizza snob I can without a doubt say this is as close to home as I've had here in 15 years ! absolutely WILL be back !“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ highly recommended!“

“the dining room was so quiet until we were leaving then nice music started playing. the food is good but was served so cold. i like my food nice and hot! i was able to pick the whole cup of soup up and drink it down bc it was so cold.. the crab cakes were good but cold.. the shrimp was like frozen before hand bc the texture seemed weird.. i was too hungry to care about the temperature. plus i want the bread n butter asap ppl come there hungry n bread n butter is key so bring it out immediately! texas roadhouse is killing the industry with them rolls n cinnabutter AS U SIT DOWN ITS GREAT!! b more like texas roadhouse! cant wait to eat my leftovers from piacquadios bc im gonna make sure the food is hot... also u can hear the whole entire kitchen workers conversations from the dining room! please have music going!“
