43 Best Italian Restaurants near Wilmerding

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

“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!“

“My new favorite drink is a French 75. I pair it with baked olives, twice cooked fries and a margarita pizza. A favorite casual meal!“

“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.“

“Delicious food! Huge portions! Will be back!“

“At the time of writing this, Alta Via has an average rating of 3.7 and I cannot, for the life of me, fathom why. The food was fantastic and served quickly. The portions are generous, and the pricing for a half vs full is linear (half portion is exactly half the price) which is not typical-you’re usually charged a bit more than half in restaurants. Our service was great; Anna was attentive and took questions to help us navigate the menu. The atmosphere is just right with respect to volume and very tidy. Somehow they made the seating comfortable yet fine and all pleasing to the eye. The pricing is deeply reasonable-our meal would have been $100 if not for the wine bottle, and that’s an appetizer, four half portion entrees, and desert. The food is creative, and entrees have been crafted carefully and thoughtfully. Frankly, it’s just way too nice to be that close to a Primantis.“

“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.“

“My wife and I ate here while we were visiting Pittsburgh and the food is absolutely delicious. My wife got the lasagna while I got the chicken parm and both dishes were absolutely spectacular. My wife is still raving about the lasagna, saying it's the best she's ever had. The service is great, the staff go out of their way to make you feel welcome and take care of you like you are apart of the family. 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!“

“I ordered food for a catered dinner. the food was excellent. Thank you“

“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!“

“This place is absolutely incredible! From the cool modern atmosphere (and great music) to the impeccable food with flavor so amazing I’ve never tasted anything like it before. I highly recommend the spicy meatballs as an appetizer and the baby carrots as a side dish. It was so nice being able to view the chefs cooking in the open kitchen from the dining room. Dominic our server was 10/10 and certainly added to this wonderful experience.

Can’t wait to return! :)“

“Buon Cibo Grill is always amazing with fantastic food and atmosphere! They did amazing for our company party this weekend. We couldn’t have asked for better. Thank you all for the lovely evening!“

“The pizza is absolutely delicious, it is huge, and the price is very affordable. My family frequently visits. We went yesterday to celebrate my little ones birthday (he adores pizza & Shelly pie) he is on the spectrum and when I tell you the entire staff acknowledged that is was his birthday, and even joined in singing happy birthday to him it truly touched my heart.“

“Went for lunch today, food as good as it always was, best meatball hoagie and fish sandwich ever! Our server Andreana was perfect!“

“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“

“We love Little Nippers - it's been our go-to pizza place for years. Outstanding people and service, and the pizza is always fresh and delicious. The wings can be really great too. Highly recommend this place, especially if you can order as take out and pick it up when it's all fresh out of the oven (try ordering directly from the website or the Slice app). It's awesome to have such a great pizza place in the neighborhood!“

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

“The service. Specifically, Jake the server. He was superlative. His attention to detail was way beyond expectations. He brought my companions food and apologized saying he'd sent mine back because he thought it was too dark. My mozzarella sticks arrived golden, crisp, and perfect. Such a dedication to excellence in standards can't go unacknowledged. Attentive and friendly. Praiseworthy indeed.“

“Our server was just bizarre. Running around like a chicken with her head cut off. She was forgetting things and screwing things up. She would basically run away while we were still talking to her. This was 7pm on a Saturday. After forgetting my soup, I was eventually brought an incredibly messy bowl, as if the soup was literally thrown into the bowl. She would say she was going to get us refills and then come back without refills. She did package our leftovers which was nice of her and offer us more bread.“

“My family and I, a total of 17 in all, celebrated my mom’s 80th birthday at Osteria Pasqualino this past Thursday. They set us up in a spacious private room, perfect for our celebration. Our server, Sarah, was exceptional, one of the best I’ve ever encountered. She was so friendly, kind, patient, and attentive. She definitely helped to make the celebration a success. The food, as always, was excellent. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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 !“

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

“We were there for dinner last Saturday,there was a big party going on in the banquet room and there were 9 of us. The service was fantastic, food was amazing and plentiful. Jamie and the rest of the staff run like a well oiled machine. We highly recommend this place. Loved it“

“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.“

“Loved this place! From out of town and I felt like I fit in right off the bat! Kim was amazing! Very impressed! Friendly, helpful and attentive. Crowd was fun and engaging. Kim suggested the deal on the beer and the pizza. Both delicious! Pizza was outstanding! Especially for the price. Just loved the feel of this place! Wish it was in Texas! Can't wait to try the sandwiches! Homemade chips also! A total local gem!“

“Best Italian meal I’ve had since my Italian mom and grandma’s food. From the sauces to the pasta and the potato balls are outstanding. I will patronize again and highly recommend.“

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

“Great service - Great food“

“Pros: the food is solid! I learned today that depending on who the chef is the calzone sizes are bigger. Not saying they’re not big already. They taste great. I accidentally got bacon pizza and pork calzone. I recommend mixing up the meats ?.

Cons: nothing I can think of at the moment. Lol. I got ID’d. I look 40. I know they wipe down their high chairs but they didn’t get to the one I pulled out.“

“Always an awesome experience. I have four sons who are always hungry for Glads! Had a church function and got a Gladiator and some antipasto. It didn’t disappoint. Everyone ranted and raved, especially over the bread. All top notch ingredients and would highly recommend. It’s a great value for the money and you won’t go away hungry.“
