“My son and I had dinner for Mother’s Day. Our first experience at this restaurant. Aside from a small miscommunication where the side dishes were delivered to the table alongside the apps, everything was very good. They corrected the sides and delivered fresh with the entrees, the sides were easily large enough to share amongst three or four people and the food was very good. The app, sides and entrees, as well as the gluten free chocolate cake were all delicious. I definitely recommend this restaurant and plan to return.“

“My husband and I have been going to the Village Inn for many years now. Everything we have eaten there has been so delicious from sandwiches to great Italian Food . My favorite is the stuffed crabmeat mushroom appetizer, bruschetta and Chicken Romano. The meatballs and pasta are so good. My favorite dessert is the Tiramisu. I highly recommend the Verona Village Inn.“

“I come here whenever I am in town. I love the oysters rockefeller and zucchini for apps and the chicken a la johnnys for dinner. The prices are great and I love the entertainment on a Saturday night. It's a wonderful, fun and relaxing evening!“

“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.“

“Friends and I enjoyed dinner at Tillie's last night and it was a great evening. Of course, the company was great but the food was also great. And, our server was a joy. She was pleasant, attentive and did a good job. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great food and excellent service. Thanks!!!“

“Had a wonderful experience today at Roman Bistro. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Our waiter David was terrific. I chose the perfect restaurant for my birthday lunch.“

“Found this old neighborhood restaurant and wanted to give it a try. Small restaurant with friendly staff. We both got house salads and shared a pizza. The salad was ok. Some of the lettuce had brown portions that a customer shouldn't see. The pizza wasn't bad but lacked flavor. The crust almost seemed like a mundane frozen crust. The part we disliked the most was how the servers took up a table and would sit there at the table plus eating instead of tending to the tables. Sorry, but if there are dirty plates stacked at the edge of the table, the server shouldn't walk by and go sit down. If we were the owners, we would not want that.“

“Great food! Never walk out disappointed.“

“Excellent first visit. Staff is friendly and attentive, restaurant was clean with super cool decor. We got the sno-white pizza, a greek salad and a caesar salad. We took home a lemon and carrot cake slice. Everything was delicious. Will be back soon!“

“We travel from an hour away to come to Shelly Pie! We love the food and the service is always phenomenal (especially Diana.)“

“Jen hosted my bridal shower at this beautiful restaurant and I couldn’t be more happy with how the day went!! The three entree choices, salad, and rolls served for our guests were decisions! Jen was outstanding arranging everything with my mom and bridesmaids to make it a special day as a bride to be! I would most definitely recommend Osteria Pasqualino for any private event you wish to celebrate with family/friends! Special thank you to Jen’s hard work and service throughout the day!“

“Always order at the Arnold Palmer Airport location and food is always delicious. They deliver to us in the terminal and always so nice.“

“I have coming to this great Pizza and Italian restaurant since it was on Saltsburg rd. one thing I can say over the years is the Consistency has stayed the same, The food is excellent. If you want a good Italian meal its the place to go? Or on the go.“

“Pazzo"s on Lysle Blvd. It's easy going and has good music 4 all if you put your money in the jukebox, and as always great service by little Jenny the barmaid, but you better get 2 at a time because the locals keep her shopping and she's a good hopper, LMAO !“

“Ordered Romano Crusted Chicken & Pappardelle with mushrooms, spinach with a white cream sauce and added Shrimp. It was delicious and it came with soup or salad and bread.“

“It's like being at your favorite dinner table with family and friends! With our beautiful Italian family gathering around the bar area in numbers of about 15 Friday night, we had a blast! Yes, Joe is our cousin and that is definitely warm and wonderful but Louise, Joe's matriarch, was there too which made it extra special. Lulu, chef, Delaney, "Ms. Brown", Linda and all staff were amazing and fun. So the food, sauteed arthichoke hearts, pasta fagioli, wedding soup, Chicken Romano, Veal Romano, beverage list unsurpassed and our usual standards and oh the red velvet cheesecake was picture and taste perfect. All food made to order fresh and it definitely shows the attention to every morsel we enjoyed. Oh, the bread is made locally and it's the best. We were almost the last to leave and we have all the photos to show our fun time. Can't wait to go back for their Sunday sauce. Salute and see you soon. Thank you for your "cordial" cordial to cap off the night. Highly recommend. There is nothing better than a cozy Italian restaurant that is one of a kind. Spring is here and the bocce court will be ready!“

“Nice social club. Great food and great prices“

“The food was excellent, atmosphere was great and the service as usual was outstanding. Tracey is a top notch waitress.“

“Today’s order was exceptional. It had been a minute since I ordered from here as usually my order was messed up etc. today I was craving one of their chicken salads so I decided to get that and a pizza for my kids. Both items were amazing and perfect! I understand this place is under new ownership. The manager/owner even brought the food to my car and chit chatted with me a bit. 10/10 customer service. This makes a big difference.“

“The food here is TO DIE FOR!!! And the service is awesome“

“While we've only been there a few times, Lucci's has fast become my family's favorite go to restaurant. I recently had a relative come in from another country and they requested some home style Italian food. They have a huge menu with many different options that ensures that everyone will find something to their taste. Foods we ordered on this visit included chicken parmesan, arguably the best we'd ever eaten. We also had the chicken Romano which was also very good. We will usually only order chicken Romano if it comes with a lemon wine butter sauce, which this did not, but it was still very good. It was accompanied by a large side of penne pasta that had a pinky/orangy color sauce which I believe may have been a vodka sauce and it was delicious! The cheese ravioli included four gigantic square pillows filled with ricotta and served with a red tomato sauce which was very tasty. I ordered a cheese calzone which was cooked exactly as I ordered it and was a definite 5/5 stars. It was one of the best calzones I've ever eaten. Our party ordered both the deep dish pizza, which was excellent, and a small regular pizza which was also very good. We also ordered fried zucchini which was a big hit. I can honestly say the only food that our party of four didn't like was the wedding soup. We all agreed it was the only disappointment of our meal. We had the same waitress as the last time we dined there and while she is a very good waitress she is clearly over taxed with too many duties, in my opinion, to give a party of four or more the level of service they deserve. Both times we were there the waitress had to serve customers eating dinner in the dining room as well as those sitting at the bar along with the other usual bar and waitress duties like running orders back and forth to the kitchen and picking up food. I think they may benefit from the help of a bartender once the dinner crowd picks up which was around 5:00 P.M. on the days we were there. My calzone, while nearly perfect, was surprisingly cold inside which required the waitress to have to reheat it which took quite a bit of time. The restaurant and restrooms are nice and clean. There is ample seating and parking. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible and offers handicapped parking. We didn't have any small children with us but it appears they are accommodated and welcomed. Though it seems a bit pricey, it is comparable to most restaurants of it's kind and is definitely well worth it. The food portions were massive and we happily ate the leftovers for three days. I would recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a great time and meal. Lucci's is a good choice and appropriate for families, dates and parties big and small. I'm so happy I finally gave Lucci's a try!“

“I enjoy the one in Penn Hills there pizza is the best around Penn Hills it can’t be beat“

“Hands down, our favorite pizza!“

“Where do I start? Everything was amazing from beginning to end. I had reservations at Tambellini‘s in Highland Park. But the owner decided they weren’t busy enough that evening so they called me an hour before and canceled on me. I scrambled to find somewhere for my 10-year-old daughter and I to go After her school dance. I called this place and they said “don’t worry about anything, come on in and we’ll take care of you.” We ended up chatting with some other customers and the staff. It was great. My daughter was all smiles the whole time. The dining room is super small and very intimate. Everybody’s friendly, the owner was great, and the chef was awesome. definitely put this place on your list of places to try. Support local!“

“everything here is awesome. but today. the air conditioning wasn't working. we still had some delicious pie. the bad, I watched a party of 5, a party of 3,and a party of 2 walk out. They had the patio closed cuz no ac. and the inside ac barely working. it was the same a few weeks ago. so bottom line is still great food but waitress losing tips cuz no ac.“

“Yeah buddy! 🙌 Just picked up 5 hoagies and a meat & cheese tray from Glad’s Deli and let me tell you — they did not disappoint! 🔥 Everything was fresh, packed with flavor, and made with care. The hoagies were loaded and delicious, and the meat & cheese tray looked amazing and tasted even better. Perfect for our gathering and everyone loved it! 👌 If you haven’t tried Glad’s yet, you’re missing out. Highly recommend! 💯 #SupportLocal #GladsDeli #FreshAndDelicious“

“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!“

“The most important reason is that this is a local, family owned business. Throughout the year there are holiday baked goods offerings. This is more than our local pizza shop. We feel like neighbors and friends.“

“Had the beer battered fish today for lunch. It was so good ! It held up well for takeout. Was crispy and the bun was delicious too !“

“Food is amazing and they are always friendly, and their delivery is always fast and efficient.“

“Jasmin is an excellent waitress, had a few minor problems that were out of her control. The ladies at the bar were also great, provided fun atmosphere while waiting for table. Thee manager was right on and handled our problem right away and did the exact right things. Over all great experience and great service in the bar and table.“

“Very happy with the Italian Buffet, held a great surprise birthday party there and we were incredibly satisfied with the food and service. We would recommend Pugliano’s for any special event you are interested in holding!!! 5 Stars!!“

“Without a doubt, the best meal we have ever had! Phenomenal service! Absolutely worth it!“

“Everything is amazing The fresh baked Italian bread is to die for The soups, pizza, hoagie, ravioli all outstanding“

“Always up for new places and man was I pleasantly surprised!! Great prices, great ingredients (the mini pepperonis that curb up? Yum!) and very quick service! Crust was perfectly crunchy and sauce was just the right amount. My new go to in Plum!“

“We’ve been to the Murrysville location a number of times now and most recently ordered a deluxe sandwich tray. The owner and staff have been so friendly, every time making sure we had what we needed. For our recent catering order, the owner explained the labels, walked me through all the toppings that are included, and why she gave me the mayo and vinegar on the side, etc. Everyone at our party raved about the hoagies from the tray and asked where we got them. The quality of the bread, meats and toppings are all exceptional and very unique - and the variety of hoagies is so extensive it’s hard to believe. My personal favorite is Nonna’s Veggie - it’s eggplant with roasted peppers, broccoli rabe and sharp provolone. I’m so happy to have another great business like this in Murrysville and I wish the owner nothing but success. Give this place a try!“

“Great experience and amazing food every time. Does not disappoint!!! Thankful for a place to eat with consistently good food and great service.“

“Quintessential pizzeria... not only is the staff fast and friendly inefficient they also go above and beyond with a little extras that mean the world to customers such as myself.

Guys if you're reading this to the staff of Bellisario's I wish there was a way to get you guys even more business not like you're hurting though because honestly your pizza is a Hidden Gem in West Mifflin particularly in Duquesne Shopping Center....yinz keep up the excellent work!

Wheelchair accessibility: It's on ground level and easily accessed and I guarantee if you have the phone number ahead of time which is on Google someone will open the door for you.“

“Amazing gluten free menu! Love the GF pizza and pepperoni rolls, texture and taste is spot on to regular versions. They sell GF dough balls as well which is great for when I want to make cinnamon rolls or pretty much any GF bread product or pizza at home. Everyone is always very friendly and order is ready in a timely manner. Hidden gem in Penn Hills!“

“Try the Chicken parm family meal deal .. you won't be disappointed!!“

“Everything they make is the best. Pizza, sandwiches, chicken tenders, French fries. EVERYTHING!!!“

“Delicious food, a wide variety of options, a great local place!“
