40 Best Italian Restaurants near Turtle Creek

“We dined there for the first time this week. We told our waitress, Katie, that we had never been and she went above and beyond to give us an amazing experience. Our drinks were constantly refilled and the appetizer hot pepper cheese balls were delicious. She recommended the cheese bread sticks (they were so good!) and we thought the pizza (pepperoni sausage mushrooms) was outstanding. Thank you Katie for being so attentive. We will definitely be back Shelly Pie!“

“The Market in Verona is so awesome. It is so great to go in and get good quality food that you can reheat at home. I recently got the Eggplant Parmesan, pasta and risotto balls. Everything was so delicious and enough for another dinner. My husband got the Chicken Parmesan and really enjoyed it also. The service at the Market is outstanding and it was so nice to also meet Andrew the owner. I am looking forward to coming back again and getting more of this high quality and delicious Italian Food that reminded me so much of what my Mommy used to make. I highly recommend them.“

The food portions were very big and absolutely delicious. We started with a beet salad and it was so good. I had the CC's veal with crab cakes and my friend had the Sunday gravy. Both dishes were delicious and the red sauce on the Sunday gravy was out of this world. We had a tiramisu for dessert and again, it was outstanding. For a nice evening out, give them a try.“

“Great family-owned business with amazing homemade food!“

“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.“

She was pleasant, attentive and did a good job. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great food and excellent service. Thanks!!!“

“I am so glad my husband and I found Yoli's. We went there for the 2nd time tonight and every single thing we got was phenomenal just like the 1st time! From their salads, to the bread and oil, to their Yoli Rolis, to the stuffed shells, to the Grandma Bevy, the food is just unbelievable. I got the crab cake tonight and I have to say, it was one of the best I've ever had, and I've had them in Maryland! We got the canookie for dessert and it was bigger than our heads but unbelievably amazing. Plus everything is SUPER reasonably priced! On top of everything else, the staff is extremely friendly! This is definitely our go-to restaurant from here on out. I can't wait for many more dinners at Yoli's!“

“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.“

“Amazing! I finally made the burrata raviolis I ordered and there wasn’t one left over! So fresh and so delicious and they puffed up perfectly!“

“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!“

“Had an absolutely wonderful experience at Ladles Restaurant! From the moment we walked in, the hospitality was genuine and heartfelt. The staff didn’t just serve us—they welcomed us like family.
What really stood out was how comfortable and inviting they made us feel. The team was patient, kind, and incredibly accommodating, creating an environment that felt warm, relaxed, and truly family-friendly.
You can tell there’s a strong culture among the employees—they work together seamlessly and treat guests with a level of care that’s hard to find these days. It’s not just a place to eat; it’s a place where you feel at home.
Great food, even better people. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Great food! Never walk out disappointed.“

“Went here tonight for my wife’s birthday. We just moved out to the east end this winter and have been trying to find good spots for a night out. This place has surpassed dinners we’ve had on vacations. Our food was incredible. Everything was absolutely delicious and looked just as good, if not better. We cannot wait to go back and try other things on their menu.
We ordered the bucatini and the chicken parm for our entrees and they were both incredible. The bucatini was perfect. I cannot recommend this place enough.“

“Stellar Italian street cuisine. Love the diavolo sauce and probably the best meatballs I’ve had. Many more dinners await 🤤“

“Everything was great, food and atmosphere. But what really made the experience great was our waitress Samantha! It was a busy Saturday evening and she was on top of it. Great recommendations, personality and very prompt. Servers like her are what makes it worth coming out to eat.“

“Delicious mezza rigatoni in Neopolitan meat sauce“

“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.“

“The chicken parm was very good. Love their sauce! Stuffed peppers were delicious & the wedding soup was good too. Great server B“

“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!“

“We love it here! Best prices in the area and most definitely the BEST bartenders EVERRRRRRR ❤️“

“Loved the staff, so friendly and helpful. And, to top it off, the pizza was Exceptional!! The flavors were wonderful, sausage, green olives and mushrooms (with pepperoni on part of it). The crust was perfect and the spices were sensational. We ordered the large for 3 people and ate every speck of it!

We are here from Wisconsin. Wish we could come back every month for a pizza.“

“my husband and I went to the pleasure bar today for dinner the food was excellent our waitress Jill was perfect could not have been nicer thank you for a great food and great service“

“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“

“Although the food, service and atmosphere were excellent, the prices have gone up. Before you could order a dinner that included soup or salad. However, now it is ala carte. We had veal parmigiana and there was very little sauce.“

“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.“

“IWasn't overly l impressed. Ate lunch here today after my mom's sigleftnificant other (Joe) passed away. I have to say I was pretty hungry by the time we the cemetery, and I was almost excited to see Chicken Romano on the buffet. It wasn't terrible, but the chicken tasted like very low quality meat. I was not the only one tobacco that“
