Veal special.
Art B.

Food is spectacular (especially in the food desert of the south hills). Service is always excellent and so is the wine menu. Order anything and you'll enjoy, but you will be taking food home. Salad and pasta come with every main course and if you get an app(meatball, banana peppers, greens and beans, etc) you'll be stuff before the mains come out. Have a choice of pasta but my favorite is the standard vodka sauce...and definitely pour some of the Calabrian chili oil over it. They are well known for their massive veal chops but I prefer the seafood diavola(which is generally available) or a classic parm (due to the size).. If I do go veal I prefer the pizzaiola. And no matter how full you are get the raspberry tiramisu. And don't worry there are always specials so many of these will be available most of the time.

Margherita Eggplant

Arlecchino was absolutely phenomenal! My boyfriend made reservations for my birthday and from the second we made it to valet (yes! They have valet parking!) the service was exceptional! They started off by handing us menus - mine was personalized with my name since it was my birthday! Such a nice and fun touch! Our server then went over all of the different options since it was my first time at the restaurant. It was a lot to take in, but she was super helpful the entire time! For appetizers we got the beans and greens and then the smoked provolone (?? My boyfriend ordered so I think that's what it was!). They were both amazing! Highly recommend! (BUT I will say looking back .... The appetizers were not needed with the amount of food that was about to be served) You start off with a salad - we went with the house. It was very tasty and had walnuts and raisins (I'm not a raisin person but they actually went super well in this salad!) The dressing is super light and refreshing. Then comes the pasta. We went with the cacio e pepe! They make it table side in a cheese wheel! It was awesome to watch! Our server explained the whole process and some fun facts about the cheese wheel! .... But that's not all You then get your main course! (At this point I was absolutely stuffed, and was only able to eat a couple bites) but I got the margherita and substituted eggplant for the chicken since I'm a vegetarian! It was so so good! Not super filling, a huge portion. Super fresh tasting with fried eggplant topped with arugula and bruschetta. I unfortunately didn't even consider dessert, but they did provide the menu and it looked incredible! Overall, I would definitely go back again (mentally prepared for the feast!) It is expensive at first glance, but the experience and amount of food you receive justifies it!!

Excellent food and service. And the Old Fashioned was the best! We came here based on a Google search and glad we did.

Holy oil and bread to start with!
Dian R.

Wow! What a great way to celebrate a birthday dinner! Top of the line service, Lauren was fantastic from the moment we arrived! The food, ugh, what can I say-- it far exceeded everything I expected. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and has valet parking. The dishes were fantastic. We are already planning our next visit!

Cacio e pepe
Stephen G.

My favorite restaurant in the South Hills area! Food (5/5): I've more or less gotten the same thing every time (about 3-4 visits), but it's so good there is no reason to change. The chicken parmigiana is by far my favorite of all-time. The right amount of crisp on the skin with a generous portion of sauce and added cheese. The cacio e pepe is also a must, creamy and filling. They make it table side which adds to the experience. I also get the house salad which is fantastic. The raspberry vinaigrette along with the raisins and bleu cheese makes for a tasty blend of flavors and textures. Service (5/5): Every server I've ever had here is knowledgeable of the menu, engaging, and attentive. Never an issue. Price (4.5/5): You shouldn't expect it to be cheap because it's not. You're getting a 5-star meal and paying a price that goes along with it.

Cacio e Pepe

Always a great meal! Service is always fantastic Ambiance is romantic, clean, and nice

Pasta

Two weeks ago I went with my parents while visiting Pittsburgh. The experience was one I won't soon forget. The bartenders (married couple- I can't remember their names) were super attentive and fun. The bar upstairs was a really cool vibe and the downstairs was more traditional Italian restaurant feeling. The food was amazing. I can't begin to speak to the cheesy pasta or the delicious veal chop as my words wouldn't do them justice. Everything was so very good.

The cute bar area
Sarah K.

Wow! Arlecchino's is something to talk about! First of all, the restaurant is in an old school house. As a former teacher, this made me happy. The restaurant is usually packed on the weekends and a reservation is recommended! However, we were unexpectedly in the area, and we popped in right before they opened. We were able to score a spot in the bar area. It overlooks the entire restaurant AND the service is impeccable! Our waiter/bartender was super helpful and friendly. We were the only ones in the bar area for about 15 to 20 minutes, but as soon as it got packed, the service was still the same! Each meal starts out with bread and this banana pepper dipping sauce that is heavenly! The entree portions are HUGE and come with a salad and side of pasta. You really could share the meal, but we opted not to! Some of the pasta is even mixed in a large wheel of cheese! My cacio e pepe was actually not sauced enough and came out slightly cold, but it was still delicious!

Filet Mignon
Thomas S.

Definitely recommend making reservations and plan for a 2+ hr as they do a full 3 course meal experience. You'll be met by the Valet which is complimentary (very friendly and quick, don't forget to tip on de). Bathrooms are to the left and right upon entry, followed by other doors to the main dining area. Seated immediately. We didn't feel crowed or cramped as other stated. Our server was great, explained the menu and specials well. We started the house salad which was crisp and delicious. We of course tried the Caico e peoe, a small upgrade fee but worth it as not many places offer it, along with the vodka pasta. I must say, I normally hate vodka pasta but it was very good. For our main My wife settled on a Filet Mignon (medium rare) and I ordered a chefs special (parm pork chop). Her steak came out medium well but our waiter was more than happy to get her one cooked medium rare. A manager came out and apologized as well. The replacement came out perfect. Mistakes happen, was important here is they were swift to replace it and happy in doing so! Im not sure how we had room for desert but we finished it off with the strawberry cheesecake. Drinks were good and strong! Overall, we really enjoyed our feast here, definitely a worthwhile experience. We will be back!

Filet Oscar style
Christina S.

Went here for my birthday dinner. Loved how everything was personalized. Happy birthday with my name was printed on our menus, along with the giant chalkboard in the restaurant. The food was delicious, the filet Oscar style was amazing!

Do I need a reservation for the bar upstairs?

It's not required , but highly recommended! You can call during the day even when they are not open and just leave a message on the answering machine. They will call you back to confirm when they open.

Are reservations required?

Hi~ I personally have never made reservations. But we usually go out to eat early in the week and not on weekends. If they take reservations, it wouldn't hurt to make them as the place is small.

We were seated right away and drink orders taken immediately. Erin, our wonderful server, came to welcome us and provide menus. She was so friendly and kind! I had peeked at the menu ahead of time and knew what I wanted to order. We shared a zucchini planks appetizer-they were huge, hot and crispy- the marinara was so good I could have eaten a bowl of it with a spoon! I had the Spinach Salad-I hadn't had one in ages and it was delicious. The hot bacon dressing really made the dish. My niece had Chicken Parm with spaghetti- it was a huge portion and enough for two meals. I ordered a steak hoagie and a quart of wedding soup to take home. There's no scrimping on the amount of meat in the hoagie and the wedding soup is full of shredded chicken. We enjoyed chatting and catching up in the cosy dining room, tunes from the past playing in the background. It made for a wonderful afternoon of great food and fun. I can't wait to go back and have more of that delicious marinara!!

Walked in with 10min to close and tried to apologize and say I would come back, yet the hostess and server said "no problem" with a smile on their face. Made me feel like family vibe. The food (ordered and meat lover and supreme pizzas) was amazing. I told the company that I was with "We need to message Dave Portnoy about this place."

I really wanted to try a new place with my boyfriend and I saw that they do have Gluten Free…read moreoptions so we decided to come here. We sat at the bar and I got a Chocolate Pear Martini and my Boyfriend got a glass of one of their Red Blends. The bar tenders were very friendly and super attentive. My drink was delicious and ended up actually having 2! (I highly recommend it!) We started our meal with an appetizer - we got the Crab Artichoke Dip with Tortilla Chips. 10/10 would recommend! So creamy and flavorful. I am super picky with my Crab Dips but this was spot on delicious! For dinner I ordered the Brisket- you get 2 sides with it and I got a salad and a baked potato. My boyfriend got the 2 Crab Cakes- he was excited because not many places offer Gluten-free Crab Cakes- and he also got 2 sides. He got a salad and the mixed vegetables. The food was super delicious and so filling. Good price points ans great portion sizes! Finally for dessert we got the Gluten Free Chocolate Tort! It was so decadent and rich but not too overly sweet. A perfect dessert to end the night! We have been looking for more Gluten-free options around the South Hills and we found a good one! My boyfriend also loves seafood and since they have a lot of options we WILL be going back for more things to try!

I waited 10 minutes for a drink then after 25 minutes no service and the manager was ruderead more
