“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!“

Food is always delicious, drinks are amazing and the focaccia bread they bring out is to die for. Highly recommend! And ask for Eddie at the Market Square location!“

“Neat little space. Initially drawn here by a Facebook event claiming “free jazz”. It was a musician playing a giant xylophone-esque instrument and ended up being a delightful time. I ordered a glass of wine and was served an extremely hefty pour (no complaints here). Our server was really kind and checked on us intermittently, and ended up chatting with us for a while. Hope to go back one day when it’s nice out for a sit on the patio as it was pouring down rain while we were there.“

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

“My wife and I had the pleasure of dining here this weekend. It was unbelievable! The service ,menu and quality of food was outstanding.“

“Went to Fontanas for a bite out and to hear our favorite duo, "Let's Duet." Got chicken wings, fries, & fried pickles. Everything was very good! Quick service and the food came out quick and hot, despite it being busy. Also had Ellicottville blueberry beer on tap....delish! It's a small bar with maybe 12 tables and some seats at the bar. Nice local watering hole! Glad we came and hope to stop by again!! Give it a try.“

“The gluten free pizza here is the best gluten free pizza I’ve had, hands down!!! And I try gf pizza everywhere I go— literally 10 years and this stuff is just amazing. It’s like magic. The sauce is good. The toppings are great. It’s solid pizza regardless and my non gf husband still loves eating here too! Also, the gluten free fried cinnamon dough!!!! It’s literally the closest thing I’ve had to a doughnut in 10 years and we LOVE it in my house ???? if I had the money I’d invest in the gluten free pizza dough here to make it available everywhere; it’s such a game changer ??Highly recommend!“

“10/10 Highly Recommend! For starters, Danielle was an incredible server. She was friendly and inviting from the moment I walked in. She made amazing suggestions and was very tentative. We had the fried provolone which was phenomenal but I have to say, thier red marinara sauce is to die for. I could just drink it! It's sooooo good! I had the Italian wedding soup was delicious and I'm not really a soup person. I had the Romano for my entire and it was so tasty! The cheesecake.....THE CHEESECAKE!! Chef's kiss. True authentic cheesecake! I am so glad I stopped here on my way home. This place has been added to my list of favorites!“

“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!“

“My wife and I stopped in on a whim for dinner. Great decision! She had the rigatoni diablo and I had spaghetti and meatballs. Our dishes were delicious, and the portions were generous. The service was friendly and fast. The decor was not fancy but the restaurant was clean and neat. All in all a great place to go for a satisfying Italian meal!“

“Excellent food, love the ambiance of the restaurant.“

“This is by far, the best pizza and the best calzone I’ve ever tasted. The cheese to sauce ratio was impeccable. The crust was a perfect bit of crunchy around the crust. There was NOT a single bite of pizza that was soggy - and given the moisture of the cheese and sauce the pizza had, I was floored by how perfectly cooked it was.This place is CASH ONLY and although there is sorting available, it doesn’t seem like the type of place you want to sit down and eat. Not that it’s unwelcoming, it’s just very quaint.Vegetarian options: There are plenty of vegetarian pizza toppings available for personalizationParking: Plenty of parking with a bit of a walk from the lot“

“Fantastic and would highly recommend. From the owner to the staff to the customers beside us. My mouth watered the entire time.“

“Highly recommend! Pizza, Wings, Salads, Hoagies - I've never had anything I disliked. We always get delivery, and the food is always hot when it arrives. Great, friendly, staff! I recently mixed up my order, and they were great at helping me out! Also recommend the Oreo Cheesecake for your sweet tooth!“

“We have dined in and also ordered takeout and have loved everything we have had! Great selection of food and the portions are huge. We also feel comfortable bringing our 6 year old there which is great bc we don't feel that way at other establishments always. We cannot wait to go back!“

“Called ahead for a Saturday night reservation on a Saturday morning...got a reservation 15 minutes from requested time and was seated promptly.Read the recent reviews, therefore, did not order fried zucchini, or any appetizer, as thep portions were described as large, and they were!The wedding soup was served steaming hot with tender meatballs; could have used more pepper.Ordered two entrees;Alla pescatore, which contrary to recent reviews, was served with firm, not mushy linguine. Garlickly flavor aand could have been tastier with some red pepper flakes.Neptune, with veal, was one of the few entrees served without pasta. Good flavor and about twice a normal portion.We ate half of each entree, and shared a tiramasu for dessert...delicious!!B.Y.O.B.Classic Italian restaurant that is worth trying!Gigantic portion sizBYOBNeptune, veal,...tender and rich flavor“

“They make really good sandwiches. I had the Italian sub. The bread was soft and chewy and the fillings were tasty. I will probably go extra meat next time just because it tasted so good. My wife had the fish sandwich. This was no little fish sandwich! The filet of fish hung out a good 3 inches in each side of the bun. It's a plain sandwich with just the fish, but it was light and flakey (you can add cheese, tartar or ketchup. I would definitely recommend it.“

“Our first visit. Very pleased. Nicely made cocktails. The loaf of fresh buckwheat focaccia with herbed olive oil was addicting. I had a tasty seafood linguine loaded with shellfish, calamari, shrimp, and fish in a mild white wine sauce. My wife enjoyed several small plates; the finocchiona and duck prosciutto followed by the shrimp. She liked all of them. Kate, our server, was friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable about the menu options. It's definitely a good choice for a really good meal.“

“Delicious food, a wide variety of options, a great local place!“

“CC's hosted our company luncheon and did a fantastic job! Excellent service and delicious food!“

“Well The Hood made his way to Monroeville Pa! Stopping at the coal pizza to try it. Well… the food was good had some white pizza and wings with dry rub ( recommended by our server, wings that is). Not a fan of the dry rubs but this wasn’t bad… Th e pizza was burnt on the edges but it’s their style but it was still good. Had spinach artichoke dip and it was great! Got a chopped salad also and it was delicious! Recommend both! So overall food was good. Service- excellent! He kept an eye on us and checked often if needed anything! Atmosphere- nice lots of pics of past people you’ll see when you go. And The Hood recommends you go! So with that The Hood says be kind and keep eating and trying new things you never know when you’ll find your next favorite food! And you know you should follow The Hood see ya soon!“

“Came here tonight for dinner. Had the John Anthony’s chicken and it was delicious! Server Giulinenne (spelling??) was so kind and attentive! I’ve always had great service here. It’s also remained very clean and tidy even after the Covid protocols started to die off. Thanks so much!“

“The crust is AMAZING! Everything we ordered had incredible flavor and fresh ingredients!You’re our new favorite!! Can’t wait to try the hoagies next. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

Not a big place, but just the right size for date night or if you want to have conversation at dinner. Food was served fresh, bonus points for having fresh pasta!“

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

“The atmosphere was laid back and relaxed. The food was amazing. We had wings, a steak hoagie, and onion rings. The Wings were cooked just right. The bartender and cook were very friendly. Drinks are not expensive. We met the new owner. He thanked us for trying his place out and even bought us a drink.“

“My family stopped by on Saturday afternoon ordered a Pgh pizza and loaded fries. The Pizza was out of this world. The fries were fresh cut and delicious. Our server was Jodie and she was so friendly and efficient we never had to ask a refill on drinks. Most pleasant trip there ever.“

The crust was perfect and the Sicilian sauce was phenomenal. Highly recommend trying it. Shelly Pie you killed it tonight. Keep doing what you are doing.“

“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.“

“My family and I, a total of 17 in all, celebrated my mom’s 80th birthday at Osteria Pasqualino. 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. The food, as always, was excellent. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
