50 Best Italian Restaurants near White Oak

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Normally, I don’t take the time to write a review unless the customer service, food, and overall environment truly stand out. Tonight, I’m leaving this review immediately after walking out because our experience was just that unforgettable. I’m so grateful that my family and I decided to go out to eat tonight. We’ve been here a few times before for takeout, but tonight was our first time sitting down as a whole family of 6 and enjoying the full experience and it did not disappoint! Our food came out hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The portions were great, and the prices were definitely worth it. The staff was so friendly, welcoming, and had the biggest smiles. You could genuinely feel the warmth in the atmosphere. And then there was an extra special moment that made our night even more memorable. My daughter and I love to read, and tonight we picked up Sherri’s book, Where I Want to Be. We are already obsessed! Sherri, congratulations on your FIRST book! It was such a pleasure meeting you tonight. I truly believe that little unexpected moment made our entire night even more special. Thank you to everyone for such a wonderful experience. We will absolutely be back and we’re already looking forward to our next visit! 🍕❤️ Keep doing what you’re doing. You have something really special here!“

“We ordered one Sicilian pizza with mushrooms and black olives and one Buffalo chicken pizza. Both were outstanding and we ate every last piece. Our waitress was Tammy G and she was friendly and spot on in her service. We had a great dinner celebrating a new job and will fondly remember that night! Thanks, Luciano's and Tammy!!“

“Amazing food and a great atmosphere. We enjoyed live music and a tremendous dinner. Would recommend Asti’s to anyone. The owner is awesome!“

“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.“

“Delicious and authentic cuisine cooked by a great chef with a superb staff. We will return!“

“Was visiting with our son and headed here for lunch today. Did not disappoint. Service was excellent, food was excellent, very simple salad but delicious. Extremely pleasant, friendly staff- fairly certain they were the owners. Had leftovers to bring home for later. Looking forward to our next meal to to see what is new on the menu. I had the basil gnocchi.“

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

“We recently held my parents 50th wedding anniversary party there and it was wonderful! Everyone I dealt with, from the event coordinator, kitchen staff, and wait staff, were incredibly kind and went above and beyond to make our event a special one. I would definitely recommend Rene’s in the future.“

“Food was excellent and plentiful. Enough for dinner the next day. Service was outstanding our reservation was for 5:30 and we were seated by 5:10. Our waitress Angela B was fantastic. Her service was a 10+. Would definitely go back and highly recommend it…“

“Excellent food and service at Fox Chapel location . My first time here busy Saturday crowd Gabby was a wonderful bar server actually excellent. I had Bruschetta salad which I highly recommend Over any other“

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

“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!“

“It was to be a special occasion, my brother's and my birthday celebration. I searched hard for a deep-dish pizza in the area and drove from Monessen. The pizza we had today wasn't Deep dish as advertised; it was high-rise or thick crust. I wrote on the Facebook page's messenger and told them we will be there at what time and on what day for Deep-dish pizza. I was told they still have it. Are waiter never told us that their Deep Dish is a thick-crust pizza? The pizza was good; we didn't ask for a refund. We hope the restaurant will reword its pizza menu. It's just misleading me, and my brother would have gotten something different if it wasn't for Deep Dish. Besides that, the restaurant is amazing. I heard it was my first time there.“

“Margherita pie is SO delicious. I just went for happy hour last week. You have to see all the apps, drinks, and pizza specials! So good!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great local bar with friendly wait staff and attentive bartenders. Bartender learns your drink of choice and welcomes you with a smile, and a drink almost straight away. Karaoke on Wednesday nights if that's your thing. If you're coming for dinner, cajun pasta is the best item on the menu!“

“Fantastic food ,great service..
If you haven't supported this local family owned restaurant yet you are missing out !
The menu is amazing.. thank you Joe our bartender for the great service. Catch you next time Bobby. We dined in and took a huge order home .. DELICIOUS 😋

“Great food! Never walk out disappointed.“

“We are regulars at Big JIm's. We love the food and the people even more. We were there when the dude came in complaining about his fish sandwich like a maniac. He was screaming, refused the staff's offer of a replacement. The staff tried to be accommodating. Even worse, he presented himself as "someone Important" and threatened the people with the "review he was going to write'. Well, clearly his review is terribly written, and lacks punctuation. Not a review I would expect from someone "so important".. Happy Mr. Important will never be back! Don't believe a word he said!“

“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!“

“Really loved the food and the staff, sadly they cut corners with the olive oil and the garlic and you can taste the difference... I'll bump up the score when they fix these unacceptable problems!

Edit: September 24, 2023 - they've rectified the olive oil problem but now prices have skyrocketed. It's a cold, cruel world we live in“

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

“Delicious 🤤 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼“

“Service was excellent. Top notch. What I didn't understand was why we were sat next to the window with fake bushes blocking our view of the rest of the restaurant. The place was empty. Every single table inside the rows of hedges was unoccupied when we got there. Maybe 2 or 3 tables were sat during our dinner but I truly didn't understand seating us in the corner, right next to the door, blocked by this greenery. It just felt weird. Also the olive oil cake was terrible. Dry, salty. Not good at all. The rest was good. We got 4 dishes and shared them. Maybe ordered 4 drinks. Bill was $250. Not terrible but also not big portions cause they were all shareable small plates. Like there were 4 of us, we got the scallop special, and they gave us 3 scallops. Just give us a 4th scallop so we each get one! If you wanna upcharge for it fine, but like why give 3 scallops to a table of 4 when they know we're sharing everyhing. We made that clear. And yeah that cake sucked. Don't get it. I don't need to go back here. Mostly cause I dislike supporting DeSchantz. So take that as you will.“

“We had a great experience at PGH EATZ today. We ordered ribs, loaded baked potato, and the homemade coleslaw, and everything was delicious! The ribs were very meaty and the Cole slaw tasted very fresh! The kids loved their chicken fingers and french fries too. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, and we really enjoyed talking with them while we were there. Great food and great people, we’ll definitely be back! Highly recommend!“

“Delicious mezza rigatoni in Neopolitan meat sauce“

“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 ❤️“

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

“The whole experience feels like they're trying to treat you like their grandmother (maybe Mama Meatball?!) would want. Warm & friendly people, great food, huge portions, great for dine in or take out“

“One of the few places offering wood fired pizza, the way it should be. Highly recommend“

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

“Seated right away, Order was quick, Jen the waitress was fantastic. Everyone was great on a nice Sun. Afternoon for lunch.
I've been going/doing Olive Garden since 1987, always good.
Update- take out order went well, but man
OG getting stupid with prices.“

“Sandwiches are awesome, salads look great, and the staff is VERY friendly! You will not be disappointed if you get a hoagie there.“

“The food was absolutely delicious and served piping hot. The staff were friendly and always smiling, which made the experience even better. Nearly everything is made from family recipes, and their red sauce is amazing—wow! Diane, the owner, is constantly on the move, helping out and greeting guests whenever she can. We've never had a bad meal here! Kids are always welcome.“

“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.“

“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.“

“A treasure we are grateful for ! A family business continuing with excellent food, amazing interaction with their customers and keeping Rudy's legacy thriving 😊 If you want a sandwich that you'll remember, this is where to get it!“

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

“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!“

“Honestly one of the better pizza shops around here. Quality ingredients and sauce is flavorful. Crust is perfectly chewy but still crispy.

True hole-in-the-wall type place, but the pizza is fantastic every time I pick one up here“

“Hands down the best pizza in pittsburgh. This place is definitely not talked enough about !! 10/10 everytime !! ❤️❤️“

“Absolutely delicious homemade food, great little ma & pa diner the employees are so sweet and inviting. We’ll definitely be back. Also the owner was there and she’s so pleasant to talk to hear the history of her little diner. Thank you very much for this great experience 🙏“

“Margherita pie is SO delicious. I just went for happy hour last week. You have to see all the apps, drinks, and pizza specials! So good!“

“The Pizza is so delicious, never disappoints, will Definitely return!“
