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!“

From the server(Dominic) who was friendly, always right there and check on our table periodically making sure we always had what we needed! the drinks, the food, the dessert, everything was a 10/10.

You can tell the owner cherishes this place,he was hands on the entire time I was there.“

“Yolis Italian cuisine is amazing, always a pleaser, can't choose wrong on the menu! Catering is delicious, custom charcuterie boards available for purchase. Sit down n dine, or belly up to the bar. Priced right, beers cold! Come see Logan on Monday n Tuesday afternoon, she don't smile much, but lights up the room when she does! Enjoy!“

“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“

“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.“

“Meat ravioli are hard to find, even in Italian restaurants. Anthony’s are amazing are and I’m so glad I ordered them!“

“Originally went elsewhere to eat and the service was so bad, we walked out. End up at Olive Garden. So glad we did. Our server, Beth, was amazing. She was so attentive, was able to multitask, very pleasant! The food was delicious. It is out of our way to go there but I will be returning for sure. If you go to Rt 51 location, ask for Beth!!“

“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!!!“

“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!“

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.“

“Absolutely fantastic service. Suzie took great care of our table, which had about a dozen people. No empty drinks, orders all came out perfectly. I have sever food allergies, and the kitchen was super accommodating. Suzie brought out the kitchen Manager, who made me a delicious meal. Highly recommend this Olive Garden!“

“We have been dining here for 35 years! Sadly, Les and Pauline have passed, but Edmund is continuing the excellence. Just visited for our daughter's birthday and it was perfect. The crab hoelzel and mafalda are delicious appetizers. Chicken parm is unique and yummy,ditto for the lobster Romano. We often disappointed with pricy meals, but never here. It is old school, so not for everyone, but we love it.“

“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.“

“No flowery words needed. It's a bar where people actually TALK to one another. Conversation. No constant texting. This place is a gem for humans who want to relate and connect. The bar is Eden to the nth degree.. I'm not a foodie. Although the cuisine here is beyond delicious. But the attraction? It's the forgotten joy of human contact. Don't miss happy hour.“

“Delicious fooe ever forever“

“Went for brunch today with 5 people (2 of which are celiac). Service was friendly and fast. Food was amazing, a great selection for celiac/gluten-free and can't wait to go back.“

“Very good food very good service did not wait long for food and yes I will return an try another item on the menu chicken Parm was delicious“

“Great food and service. Portions were perfect.“

“Food was average. Not sure why this place has such a cult following but maybe I'm missing something. Our waitress (Hey Sweetie) cared more about talking to her coworkers than taking care of our table. Needed to remind her twice that we never received bread. She stated it was still baking but we could see they brought it out and other tables were getting it.“

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

“Delicious, accommodating to a large group, and yummy!“

“This is the perfect Italian restaurant, in my opinion. I will say this is my first time here. The food is excellent and the sauces are some of the best I have ever tasted. Veal Piacquadio & Veal Marsala were so flavorful and cooked exactly right. The side pasta (rigatoni and gravy) is normally pretty bland, but not this one. Once again, the sauce was fantastic. The service is exactly what I like, informal, friendly, and attentive. The atmosphere is a neighborhood Italian joint, which is perfect for me. I'm not one for stuffiness, but fun and friendly. Check out this place if you have not and want a casual tasty experience.“

“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!“

“Great service - Great food“

“Stepping into GLADS DELI is a treat for both the stomach and the soul. While there are plenty of places claiming to make a decent sandwich, this spot truly delivers the best hoagie around, hands down. The bread is always fresh the meat and cheese are piled high, and every ingredient tastes like it was sourced with care. Whether you go for the classic Italian or one of their specialty builds, YEA BUDDY you're guaranteed a massive, satisfying, and perfectly constructed meal. But what truly elevates this experience above the rest is the team. The staff is wonderful—always greeting you with a smile, incredibly patient, and clearly dedicated to making sure your order is perfect. This fantastic atmosphere starts right at the top, thanks to the great owner, He is often around, interacting with customers, and their passion for quality food and community shines through in every detail, from the cleanliness of the shop to the friendliness of the service. If you’re looking for phenomenal food served by people who genuinely care, you absolutely must visit It’s more than just a sandwich shop; it’s a local treasure.“

“Really a quite incredible restaurant! Came here with my grandmother. It was extremely quiet and formal. Very easy to make conversation. Our server was very kind to us, and making sure all of our food was always quality and refilling drinks. Soup and salad served as appetizers were delicious, as well as our entrees. I, personally, recommend the Shrimp Carbonara(Spaghetti in a creamy sauce topped with shrimp.) Overall a great place to eat out if you are in a smaller group and do not have kids with you.“

“We recently had a mercy lunch buffet at the moonlite cafe and it was great . The banquet hall was nice and spacious and the food was really good . I would highly recommend this place for your event needs or just visiting for a drink and a bite to eat .“

“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!“
