Last nite, 12/30/17 I attended a wedding anniversary party. This was my second time at this venue. Wether it's dinner for two or a party of 80, they know how to make you feel warm and welcome. The food is out of this world. The chef knows how to make the flavor's pop in every dish. Just an awesome place. read more

I know many people say the food is way to expensive at Cafe Notte, but honestly I cannot attest to that. I went in with the mindset to order the cheapest thing that would give me the most food for my money. And sure enough amidst the $35 seafood dishes there was $12 personal pizzas. The pizza was average, nothing special. But regardless the service was great and my visit proved that you can get plenty of good food at a decent price at Cafe Notte read more

My husband and I have enjoyed several excellent meals at Café Norte. A great selection of entrées and desserts. Not to mention great atmosphere and excellent service. read more

my friend and I decided to try this restaurant for the first time tonight after driving by it many times. i have never dined at a restaurant that treated people differently by the way there where dressed. upon entering my friend was basically yelled at to close the door, which we couldn't since a large party was in front of us. the hostess returned ignoring me standing right in front of her to only handle the couple behind us which thankfully they were part of group that had already been seated. People that came in knowing the owners or staff got so much more attention and received their food in a timely manner. we didn't have a reservation if they were busy and couldn't have seated us they should have told us. if you come to this establishment regularly or a friend of the owners your treated like gold but if not they could care less about your business. we waited a good amount of time just to order our food . we each got chicken parmesan, 2 soups with ice tea and a coke. it ended up costing $90 including tip which is outrageous for mediocre food and subpar service. Please do yourself a favor and steer clear of this place they are clearly not interested in your business unless someone knows you there!!! read more

For years, I've passed this restaurant and wondered, how good and what kind of restaurant would be in that location on very busy Rte. 65. Finally, my friend and I stopped for a quick dinner; a very pleasant surprise.. We liked the fireplace, the ceiling with the twinkle lights, nice decor. We were seating quickly, (but we were there @ 4:30.) The five star" rating is for Jean; our waitress; great service; knowledgable, pleasant, cheerful, patient with all of our questions. I had a salad; average; my friend had the burger; she said it was "a very good burger". Surprised we had to pay for the bread and dipping oil? The bread was too dry; oil was tasteless. Our wine selection was excellent . Definitely will return, and try other dishes. I am recommending this restaurant to my friends. read more

Great place! The owners were so friendly, accommodating and polite along with the waitress. The appetizers, food, drinks and desserts were excellent. Owner explained how they get their own type of coffee beans and their brewing method, GREAT coffee.....might be best in Pittsburgh. Will definitely recommend to others and go back soon. One of the best restaurant experiences we had in a long time with that family friendly experience!! read more

We had the most amazing dinner date last night. We started with the white sangria, such a smooth flavor. Our meal was he sea bass and stuffed chicken. The flavor of the sea bass lived up to my expectations! we finished our meal with lemon cello dessert and coffee, which was fresh, and perfect lemon flavor. Would highly reccomend! read more

This was my second visit to Cafe Notte, after having brunch there when they first opened a year or so ago. Two friends and I met there for drinks and dinner on a Thursday night, which is acoustic guitar night -- in the little room that is the Cafe Notte dining room, even quiet acoustic music is too loud, so needless to say, this drastically affected our ability to have any conversation. There was one server for the room that night, and the restaurant was full, so service was on the slow side. We were offered a bread plate while we were reading over the menu, which we gladly accepted, only to find out when we got the check that we were charged $2 for the bread (generally a pet peeve of mine to be charged for bread!). Two of us ordered mussels -- a bowl of probably 1.5 dozen mussels in a pretty tasty broth. I was a little nervous about ordering mussels here, but they were fine. The third ordered a risotto, which she considered just okay. There was nothing wrong with our visit, but it just didn't wow me. Our bill was $85 (bread, 3 appetizers, 4 glasses of wine & a dessert), which is average, but between the loud music, the poor service, and the general okay-ness of the meals, I think we were all underwhelmed, and probably won't return to Cafe Notte again. read more

The food was excellent. This was a great date night restaurant. My first impression as I walked through the door was not a great one because the lady who seemed to be in charge was extremely rude and I almost told my husband to turn around and leave. We gave it a chance and I am glad we did - with the exception of that one lady, everyone else was very nice and the food was great! read more

This place is the bee's knees! Family owned, romantic restaurant with fantastic service and excellent food. I highly recommend the homemade focaccia bread. My date and I decided to do a sampling of appetizers so we could try as many things as we could! The shrimp and polenta and kalamata beef roll were to die for. Looking forward to coming back and trying more! read more

They hit this one out of the ballpark, My wife picked this restaurant for our anniversary dinner, and I could not have been more pleased. The service was superb and the meals were great. My wife had the Salmon over polenta, which she loved and I tried the Veal Bolognaise which was exceptional. A great selection of wines and beers. Make it a point to get there for happy hour, 4:30-6:30. One of the best cannoli I've been served in a restaurant. read more

Outstanding! We hosted our wedding reception at Cafe Notte and the owners were amazing! Food was amazing, ambiance was great. They took care of everything so we could enjoy the day. Highly recommend for a private party or any meal! read more

This reminds me of the 90s Italian joints in western pa. If you like Chicken parm and calamari this is your type of place but it is not to my taste. 3 stars only because the staff is friendly. read more

My friend hosted her bridal shower here and I cannot say better things about this place. As your driving along 65N towards Sewickley from downtown Pittsburgh, there is a quaint almost inn-like building that you will see off to your right. Little did my friends and I know this place would be our destination. As you pull in, there is an enticing outdoor space to sit with cute umbrellas. Our event was off to the left when you entered, but they have a huge dining area and bar off the right! The manager and owner helped us get everything ready in under an hour and was overly accommodating in our decoration requests. They food was delightful as well. We had the salmon, beef, and potatoes for a buffet style shower. If this is any indication how good their food is, I cannot wait to try their dinner menu when I am back in town! Do yourself a favor and stop by if you're around this area. They have great happy hour prices and love hosting private events! read more

My wife and I held our reception here and it was nothing short of fantastic! Debbie was super accommodating and friendly! Everything was perfect. We had about 60 guests and everyone loved the food and set up. I wouldn't go anywhere else!!! read more

I have been to Cafe Notte 3 times and each time the food and service has been fantastic. The Filet Tips are always my favorite appetizer and extremely delicious. The past two times I have had the opportunity to meet the owners who were extremely gracious and wonderful at recommending entrees from the specials. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. The prices are great for the quality of food and the atmosphere that it provides. read more

Good food. Excellent beer both on tap and bottled. Service excellent, and good live music, although less bands are being featured as of late. read more

Wish there was a rating of zero stars! Over priced, poor quality food, never returning for a second try. Decided to try it out 5/15/15, party of 3. Order consisted of hamburger with fresh chips & coffee - ordered medium well, chicken Cesar salad, dinner salad & Gnocchi with 2 waters. Total bill $55, hamburger was under cooked more of a medium to medium rare, dinner salad wilted combination greens, gnocchi portion very small - covered a small bread & butter plate - the bowl that it was served in was extremely hot, but the gnocchi were lukewarm and were soggy, Cesar salad wilted greens very little romaine, 2 small croûtons, dash of cheese, chicken only partially cooked and flavorless. Spoke to waitress that we only saw 3 times - once to take the order, once to serve us and finally to present the bill. She would let the owner know as he was there taking care of a wedding party, no adjustment was made to the bill even though she could see only the edges of the hamburger were eaten and more than 3/4's of the Cesar salad was neven touched. When we left we went to King's to get something to eat, since we were still hungry! Try it at your own risk if you want poor overprice food, very poor service and have money to throw away! read more

Very nice looking inside. Friendly staff plenty of parking but it's a little warm inside. They aren't into using the AC thy much, or maybe it wasn't working when I was there. I would go back read more

We had a wonderful time at this restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious and was presented beautifully. The wait staff was friendly and went above and beyond to make our evening special. read more

THUMBS DOWN!!! DON'T BOTHER!!! Our first dinner there 10/15. Would NOT recommend this restaurant unless you want to "nibble" expensively not if you want a true meal, the portions are SO TINY ... and EXPENSIVE. Tapas ("small appetizers" emphasize SMALL) average $10-13. Entrees are DOUBLE that for entree ONLY. Add $7+ for a salad and more for a side dish such as a vegetable. The food was "OK" but not impressive. The waiter recommended their "signature dish" - rolled beef filet - it had an acidic taste (like vinegar) and a weird pungent (not pleasant) cheese - AWFUL. In my opinion this place is a JOKE and a RIP OFF. We will definitely NOT go back which is a disappointment because we live nearby in the Bellevue/Avalon/Ben Avon area. read more

For several yrs. I drove past Cafe Notte on my commute to work and thought I'd like to eat there it looks nice. Last night my husband and I had dinner there with friends. As we entered, we noticed a wedding their banquet room. I ordered the sea bass and my husband had the flat iron steak. For the price, the entree was a very small portion. The risotto was delicious and almost as good as risotto we enjoyed in Burano, Italy. My husband thought the flat iron steak was perfect and cooked to his liking. Now those were the highlights of our visit. From charging for bread, to serving a 1/2 cup of coffee, we will never return. Additionally our server was very assertive in offering various up charge items throughout our meal and this was quite annoying. overall the service and experience was substandard and should not have been open while hosting a private event. All in all - Cafe Notte hit a sour note on our visit. read more

We went to Caffe Notte last night, St. Patrick's Day, for dinner. They now serve full dinners as well as tapas. I had the veal scaloppini which came with a house salad, mashed potatoes, and vegetables. It was excellent - a generous portion of veal smothered in mushrooms and a rich sauce. Our server, Amy, was a gem. She was very attentive but didn't hover. The entertainer was Nick Fiasco. He has an excellent singing voice, reminiscent of Frank Sinatra. His Vegas style act consisted of a variety of songs from Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Nat King Cole, etc. as well as some jokes mixed in. Everyone loved him. The Caffe Notte Lounge is a beautiful room with a great dance floor and was an excellent venue for his act. I can't wait to go back again. read more

After our Sept visit to Cafe Notte, we decided to have my son and his wife's rehearsal dinner there. Glad we did. Owners Debbie and Jerry made us feel like we were at home. Chef Eric came out to meet and check on us, our service was GREAT, and the food again was fantastic. We're a tough crowd to please, but they found every way to do so. Take time to stop by look check out the homey, living room environment of their party rooms, or stop by for dinner any day of the week. You'll be glad you did. read more

My stay here was tragic. I had gone with my fiance for our anniversary. We were waited on in a way that was so rushed we felt like we were in a fast food joint. I went to use the lavatory and a centipede came down on my shoulder from the obviously water logged ceiling. The food didn't look bad except for the fly decoratively placed on the bun of my steak burger, and the obviously expired basil on the plate for decorative purposes. The berries that garnished my fiance's black cherry cheese cake were squishy and fuzzy and I wouldn't eat them unless I wanted a night in the ER. Other than the fly I had gotten rid of my steak burger was pretty good. I left a 10$ tip for our about 40$ bill. The server handed me back the tip and said that I obviously need it more than she does and not to bother. She pointed her nose into the air with a snoody "hmph" as she walked away. I don't think I'll be returning. read more

I went to a private event here and it was lovely. The room looked great and we had a very attentive staff helping us the entire way with setting up to helping us pack up our leftovers. The space itself was very cute and thoughtfully decorated. Our food was well prepared and we had a great time. read more

This is my favorite place to go to at all times. I take family from out of town and friends that I haven't seen in a while to this amazing restaurant. The service is always outstanding, the food is amazing, and the environment transports me to a New York City style restaurant. I'm there so often they know me by name and are always, always so welcoming and attentive! Two enthusiastic thumbs up, great fun!!! read more

We love this place! From the food to the atmosphere to the service! The owners were present and are lovely! We will definitely be back!

While just outside the city limits, this place is truly a Pittsburgh dining gem. Firstly, the ambiance is top top notch including decor as well as in or outside dining options. The food is also excellent. While traveling extensively, I have never had better lobster bisque. The menu is diverse with both a variety of small plates as well classic entrees always with a tasty twist. Some places lose luster after 3 or 4 visits but Cafe Notte has always been ON POINT whether I've ordered lamb, beef, pasta, seafood or just appetizers. With that, There's no need to mention a favorite. read more

Overall I felt the meal was ok, not spectacular, overpriced, and incomplete. This is an Italian restaurant and you have to ask for and pay extra for a slice of Italian bread? Are you serious? I ordered chicken parmesan and that is ALL I got; a piece of chicken over a small bed of pasta. Nothing else. No bread & butter or olive oil to dip, no small salad, no veggies, nothing. Had to ask for grated parmesan cheese to sprinkle on my chicken and I received a tiny little plastic portion cup 1/2 full. My bill with tip was $25 and I left hungry. The atmosphere and food were ok but I'm sorry to say there is no way I will go back. The other two folks I was with share the exact same opinion. read more

Amazing place to eat, someone tell the waitress Angie that she got her review on yelp lol

Not very good food! Chicken Picate was not breaded or dusted in flour just plain (not pounded) plain thick boneless chicken right out of the bag. Twice baked potato was from a box. Vegetable was too tough to chew. (broccolli). Seafood ravioli was average not worth $24. They charged for the bread!!!! Do not waste your money. read more

Our experience at Cafe Notte was superior. We were a party of 9 and our service was excellent. Our waiter was attentive, but not intrusive. After a round of delicious appetizers - I highly recommend the salmon, our food was served to us promptly. We not only enjoyed the food, but live music made the atmosphere very enjoyable! read more

Went to dinner with 2 friends and was delighted with this restaurant. The cozy atmosphere with a wood burning fireplace was a nice setting for a cold night. The staff was friendly and efficient. The food was very good. I had chicken parmesan which consisted of a large very tender piece of chicken lightly breaded over pasta. We ordered a bottle of wine which was half price that evening. The only negative was we had to pay extra for bread. Not much but I think bread should just come with dinner. I plan to return soon. read more

I've always driven past Cafe Notte and thought about trying it out...I'm extremely glad we finally did. The staff and ownership are incredibly helpful and extremely nice, willing to assist you with your order and provide their recommendations. The food is absolutely fantastic and we were left impressed with each of our orders. I highly recommend stopping in and having a meal, you won't regret it! read more

VERY VERY DELICIOUS FOOD! The staff is very friendly as well. Food is bit pricey but worth it. House wine is too expensive!

My cousin, friend and I went to this gem after a concert! I drive by here all the time, yet forget to stop. We were thinking of places to eat after concert and we thought of Cafe Notte.. It was FABULOUS!! It was a Saturday night, the food was fantastic, wine and entertainment. Will be going back for sure!! All must go!! read more

Cafe Notte hosted our Wedding Reception in their private party room in August of 2011. They did a fantastic job! We had a small wedding (under 35 people) and we wanted to a venue where we could get great food in a classy and cozy atmosphere and Cafe Notte delivered on both! It was really easy working with Debbie to plan the event, she had a lot of great ideas and was able to accommodate all of our special requests. She was also able to arrange for live music as our entertainment. Our guests were able to choose from a variety of entrees, including lobster and filet mignon; and the prices were very reasonable. The waitstaff was very profession and everyone's food came out on time, prepared as requested. My dad still talks about how great the food was at our reception to this day. Five stars! read more

We planed to visit Café Notte for some time but it was always something... and what a wonderful experience we had last Saturday when finally we made it there. It is such a great environment for the date with light dinner and wine. Jozie - our waiter made us feel as if she had been waiting for us to show up - she had such comforting and friendly way of helping us to make our chose with the menu without imposing and with beautiful NATURAL friendly smile. She made us feel so comfortable. Food was wonderful - all food was wonderful, and salad with the their special herb dressing was unexpectedly exceptional! scallops were absolutely with spinach were perfectly done! martinis were great! Rather often I have some stomach discomfort after eating out - and this time there was NONE! which means that there was no any additives or flavor enhancements in the food! This is real family owned business where everybody takes pride in what everyone is doing. We think it is great that we finally "discovered" this wonderful place! read more

I say yah all the way...pretty much! My friend had been down here a few weeks ago...Kenny Blake and his group (jazz singers) played, and she said how much she enjoyed the band. Supposedly they play there once a month - 8:00 in the evening. So I was hesitant when she said they played out in the parking lot...I thought how nice could that be....down next to Ohio R. Blvd?? So we thought we'd give it a shot. Even though they have Valet parking(!), we just parked down the road - it wasn't a far walk at all. The band was playing, and there were tables all around the parking to sit...I believe they cooked food outdoors earlier. We found our friends at one of the tables, sat down, and really enjoyed the music. It was wonderful. The weather was great so that helped. It was a little crowded...there was dancing...and everyone seemed to be having a great time. You really don't even notice being so close to the busy highway, which I thought would bother me. I am surprised that I liked it so much...I can't wait till he comes again in a month. Great place to go on a casual Friday night.!! Thumbs up. read more
