50 Best Italian Restaurants near White Oak

“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.“

“Having travelled from Melbourne for dinner with family in Drouin we were very impressed with all aspects of our experience at Luciano's. We most certainly recommend any decerning diners to visit this lovely restaurant for lunch or dinner. Long distant visitors from Perth WA via Melbourne. Cheers, The Moth & Co“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 joint has been around for decades, and good luck finding parking in the upper lots on most evenings (ample parking in the rear).

It recently came under new ownership.... but they didnt really change much. The food is still phenomenal, the atmosphere in the bar is very Pittsburgh area, and they've got live music too.

Stop by here, you won't be disappointed.“

“Amazing dinner in Pittsburgh! Def at the top of the list for Italian!!! Rigatoni with bolognese, foccacia, arctic char, meatballs. All fantastic! Wonderful date night at the bar/antipasto counter. Ordered tiramisu to go and was blown away at the portion and it was absolutely delicious! Our server Tori was wonderful! Just the right pace between courses.“

“Excellent experience tonight at Shelly pie. The pizza was delicious as usual. Jennifer provided top notch service. Highly recommend!“

“Extensive/original menu with consistent quality food, appropriate portions and fair pricing, and Mary Kay is one of the best servers anywhere!“

“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!!“

“Delicious mezza rigatoni in Neopolitan meat sauce“

“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 !“

“We've been eating at Esta Esta for many years. The restaurant and bar are very inviting and the staff are friendly and welcoming. The food is excellent, especially the steaks, shrimp and appetizers. Drinks are fantastic and you can eat at a table or in the bar.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Great food! Never walk out disappointed.“

“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.“

“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“

“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“

“Visited Olive Garden (260 Mall Blvd, Monroeville, PA) on Veterans Day 11/11/2025, and the experience was absolutely perfect. Olive Garden offered a complimentary meal from a special veterans menu, and I truly appreciated the gesture.

Service from Bailey M was excellent and friendly. My guest ordered the Tour of Italy ($22.49) and I had Spaghetti with Marinara and 3 Meatballs ($16.78), both served hot, fresh, and delicious. The famous salad and breadsticks were just as great as always.

Thank you to the management and staff for honoring veterans and making our visit memorable. Highly recommended!“

“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.“

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

“Last month we tried GLADS Deli for the first time. We were definitely GLAD we stopped in for the pickle sandwiches! The meat and cheese were fresh and delicious. If you love pickles, don’t want the bread or want to try something different please try the pickle sandwich, but definitely at GLADS! The staff was excellent and happy to make a pickle sandwich they haven’t made so far! The owner was very friendly and made sure we were happy with our order. I had to take a bite before I left the deli!“

“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.“

“My family has been eating here for 40 years. Best pizza in Western PA.“

“I Actually stumbled upon this place accident. It was the day before Christmas Eve And the only place That was open within A 40 minute drive. The owner was concerned about making my pizza fresh, even though I had to be his last Customer of the night.
I’m a small girl, but there were only two slices left of that medium pepperoni pizza by the time I got home. Perfect, thin crunchy crust And their sauce had a slight kick to it, but I wouldn’t consider it spicy Or too hot. I don’t know, but it was really good and I’ve been thinking about it for Days.“

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

“Food was delicious! We had pizza, fries and steak hoagie. Pizza was great! The steak hoagie was best we have had in a long time! Service was friendly and attentive.
Great food if you haven't tried this place out it on your list!“

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

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