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.“

“We were leaving a funeral service in the evening of 9/9/25, and had reservations at Tillies for 20 people. When we showed up they acted like we were a bother. Insanely rude to everyone. The last thing a family should be dealing with at that time. I made a game time decision at that point, I stepped outside and I called Luciano’s around 7pm on a hope and prayer that last second they would be able to accommodate 20 people and told them our situation. Luciano’s was absolutely SO kind. They asked how long until we would be there, I said “20 minutes”. They said “we’ll be ready”. We all got up and left Tillies, and 20 minute later got to Luciano’s. They had tables lined up and ready for our party. Our two servers were so absolutely amazing I wish I could remember their names. But just 2 awesome young ladies. They were so kind to a family that just lost a loved one. The service, the food, the compassion was just out of this world. Everyone was so happy. Thank you guys so much for making a very gloom, and sad day much better for this family. We’ve always liked the food here but now we will be making a point to visit much more often. Thank you so much, again.“

I had the basil gnocchi.“

“My husband and I had dinner there this past Saturday to celebrate his birthday. Again. Lol My husband had the duck. I had the stuffed shells it was different no red sauce both were very good. The meatball appetizer was the best meatball and sauce I have had in a long time. Loved the ambiance of the restaurant. Service was also very good. We will return.“

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!!“

“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!“

“Every ravioli is amazing - better than I’ve ever had anywhere! Avi is also a really great person. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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 !“

“Amazing food and service would highly recommend, great family owned restaurant and atmosphere. Will definitely be going back“

“Best pizza in Pittsburgh, in my humble opinion. The service is always fantastic, and the pizza is second to none. It's a little on the expensive side, but very well worth it. Worth a try if you're in the Oakland/North Oakland area and want a very competent, traditional pizza. The other dishes are less enjoyable, though.“

“My lady is taking time for her. Please stop in before it’s too late. Love her and the food she makes and bakes. Found this place living at children’s hospital, everyday I just wanted to leave and go here. Never knew what the menu would be like you would just have to go and see for yourself. Something new always. My husband swears they have the best wedding soup hands down. Im completely obsessed with the carrot cake and I will never be able to go or get it anywhere else. Best carrot cake ever! The staff and owner are super friendly and very easy to talk to. Need a laugh they chuckle and make the day a little brighter. I wish this place was a little closer to home we have Maria’s dinner every other night. We will definitely be back and can’t thank you all enough for everything the last few weeks. Sam & Day.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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“

“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!“

“Great service - Great food“

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

“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.“

“Hands down, our favorite pizza!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

“Food is good! Nice variety! Servers are very friendly and work hard! Always enjoy my experience there! Prices are decent and reasonable!“

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

“First time ordering and I WILL be back! Gluten free pizza is the closest I've had to tasting normal, and the knots were also fire! I also came almost 20 minutes late for my order and the food was still hot 😍 I'd rate it 10 stars if I could. Fantastic 🤗. My roommate has a texture issue with food and he is pleasantly suprised. Way to go, guys! You found another customer for LIFE!“
