Unbelievably disappointing. My dad and I drove from the city out here because he used to love DeBlasio's. This meal was awful, and the service was worse. The bread that started the meal was good. We both got wedding soup, which was acceptable as well. We ordered fried zucchini to start, which was huge and not bad but nothing special. I ordered the manicotti, and my dad ordered stuffed shrimp with a side of pasta. However, I hate half of a tube of manicotti and threw the rest away when I got home. The sauce was DISGUSTING. Too much pepper and no real taste. My dad ate a bit of the pasta and threw it away as well. He said the shrimp was rubbery and there was no crab in the stuffing. At close to $20 a plate, this place sucked. On top of all of this, our waitress was rude and nasty. She was unpleasant through the entire meal, refused to refill our waters, and didn't ask when both meals went untouched. She boxed the meals without asking if we wanted them, and made passive aggressive comments throughout the meal. This place is awful. If you are going to insist on coming, order a fried zucchini and go somewhere else for dinner. This is a step below an Olive Garden. The only people in here are senior citizens that have been coming for years. Avoid. read more

We were seated for 20 minutes before an arrogant waiter came over. He got our drinks and never saw him again. We stopped the owner and asked for bread. He told us they didn't serve it until the meal even though we watched all the other tables getting theirs right away. Instead of getting us some, he had every excuse in the book, (not enough help) which may have been true but he was walking around doing nothing. Because of his attitude (like he was doing us a favor to let us eat there) I will no be eating there again. The arrogant waiter had the same attitude and I would bet he was a relative. The food was good, although I feel a bit overpriced. read more

Simply divine, I almost cant put into words how wonderful the food is. Great atmosphere, though the murals of Italy on the wall are just a tad cliche. Seriously great food, I ate way more than I normally would simply because the food was so good. I started with the homemade wedding soup, it was chock full of spinach, nice healthy green spinach not gross wilted stuff. Not too salty like commercially produced soups, everything in it was so fresh. For my entree I had the Veal Milanese, it was simple and elegant. They actually had quit e a few veal entrees on the menu so I am assuming it is one of their specialties. I topped it all off with Tiramisu and I was in heaven. I felt like I was going to burst and probably ate a whole weeks worth of calories, but it was so worth it. Service could have used a little work, I was in a party of 7 and either the waitress or kitchen staff lost an order. Otherwise everything was excellent. read more

Less than a mile from our house, sometimes my wife and I like to have weekend date nights at DeBlasio's. Our first time there, about six years ago, we unknowingly sat next to Marc-Andre Fleury and his date. This was long before I knew who he was or even cared about hockey, and I think our waiter was amused by how star struck we weren't. It's a little dressier than a lot of places around here, where blue jeans and Steelers jerseys are a year-round affliction for the local bros ... and some women. Our most recent trip was Valentine's Day 2014, and we've spent other occasions there as well. New Year's Eve a few years ago with a group of about 10 friends stands out, for example. The food and service at DeBlasio's are both better than most of the Italian restaurants I've tried between NE Ohio and SW Pennsylvania. The decor makes me nostalgic for my grandparents house in Youngstown during the late 70s or early 80s, and the dining rooms are always kept clean, even on busy Friday and Saturday nights. Thing is, for occasions like Valentines Day and New Year's Eve, the menu is (understandably, but disappointingly) limited. This helps the kitchen and waitstaff keep turning tables over -- I get it -- but DeBlasio's regular menu features a much greater variety of excellent fare. Something I always try to order is the greens & beans with hot sausage appetizer. I can't really overstate how much I love it. I also recommend checking the board on the way in, because the daily features are often home to my favorites, like the Osso Bucco. I'd really like to go on a weeknight sometime soon, maybe try a few different glasses of wine. Maybe get a steak. Buon appetito! read more

I was in Pittsburg for work. This restaurant was suggested by a coworker. The food was really good and my favorite was their sauce, it was right on. I would come back if I am ever in the area again. read more

Food and service was great. Love the stuffed breadsticks! Jiacomo is an awesome server! Highly recommend this place for Italian dining.

I'll start with a disclaimer: My father-in-law is a friend of Donny (the owner) and the last time we were there for Sunday dinner, Donny plied us with free booze. But I won't let that and the "make you an offer you can't refuse" look of the place sway my judgement. Let's make this simple: I eat there at least once a month, sometimes as many as four times per month. I took my wife on our first date there, where I serenaded her with "Hotel California" on the way back from a scrumptious meal. But anyone who's read my reviews knows that I wouldn't keep going back for nostalgia alone. No, siree Bobby, the place has to be good. And it is. Awesome pepperoni rolls, best I've ever had. Crispy outside, chewy oowey goodness inside, and hot pepperoni oil dripping down your fingers leaving a trail of second degree burns down to you knuckles. Breaded zuchini that makes you want to cry tears of joy. Wedding soup that would make you leave your wife on your wedding day. And entrees that range from decent to "oh, god, YES" ogasmically good. If you go, tell Donny that I sent you. Otherwise he'll break my legs the next time he sees me. read more

We had great food and service at this restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised because the decor is dated and it is in a plaza but it turned out to be delicious with wonderful service. We had lots of high maintenance eaters at our table of eight. Veal Piccata, homemade ravioli, broiled scrod, eggplant parmigiana, shrimp Romano, fried shrimp, stuffed shrimp (all crab, no filling) all were ordered and every person said you can't go wrong here; we all enjoyed it! Four shrimps up!! read more

DeBlasio's Restaurant - This best describes the veal pic arts and homemade ravioli at DiBlaisio's - Italian Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I grew up very nearby and for whatever reason we've only been here a few times. During a recent trip home we were looking for a casual dinner and were craving Italian food. We were treated to a delicious, homemade feast. The "famous" stuffed breadsticks are glorious. They are HUGE, almost like stromboli. The marinara for dipping was chunky and fresh. I really enjoy wedding soup and theirs did not disappoint. Very classic. For dinner I had the cheese ravioli. The portion was excellent and each ravioli was plump. The cost was incredibly reasonable for three of us for dinner. The restaurant is in the old Virginia Manor shopping center next to the Giant Eagle. The decor is not fancy (suspended ceiling, murals on the walls), but it's extremely comfortable and has a family/locals atmosphere. The bar has several well-placed flat screen TVs and was filled. Our service was a little slow, but it was friendly. I can't believe I wasted so many years in Scott Township not eating here. read more

Simply okay. We had a group of 8 and were stuffed into a back room that was very crowded and very little room in between tables. I had the chicken Deblasio, which tasted like chicken with a gravy that I could have had anywhere let alone an Italian restaurant. I will say we had really good service, just wish the food was better. read more

If you are celebrating a birthday, go to Scoglios......or anywhere BUT DeBlasios. They charge you $2.50 each person in your party to eat your own cake. Chef said thats because they serve their own desserts. I asked. "Do you have birthday cake?"......um, No. Unbelievable......especially as we are coming out of this pandemic. The Manager says thats why we tell you beforehand.......before what? I already brought the cake. LOL. Won't be returning anytime soon. read more

This little Italian restaurant reminds me of a place you would fine in the north end of Boston (there little Italy). The atmosphere feel's like an old local family place and I really loved it. You can tell if you lived in the area that's where you meet up with friends and family for a drink or a good meal. I ordered the stuffed manicotti which came with a side salad and bread. The meal was great the sauce was good and the manicotti was great. This place made a fan out of me and will defiantly be back to try more of whats on the menu. read more

This is a great example of good quality Italian cuisine. The service was very kind, the location was nice and family-oriented, and the food was dynamite! Everything was delicious, there are large portions though, so be sure to save room so you can enjoy everything. Other than that, this place is delightful, with delicious food! read more

Started off the meal with fried zucchini which was great. Lightly breaded, perfectly fried, not greasy at all. It definitely tantalized my appetite and made me excited for what was next. All entrees come with soup or salad, and I went for the salad option with the house made Italian dressing. It was good, not like oh.my.god good, but it was your average house salad. I skipped out on the bread to save room for dinner. Turns out I should have eaten the bread. I heard it was great and my food was...eh. I ordered veal parmigiana. Huggeeee piece of veal, pounded nice and thin, just how I like it, and thinly breaded. However, there was basically no sauce on it, though there was a generous portion of cheese. The side of pasta was absolutely bad. It tasted how pasta tastes in a chafing dish after 3-4 hours, dry, pasty, with gelatinous sauce. Way too much oregano in the sauce as well. If you have the slightest hint of heartburn, I guarantee that oregano is gonna talk back to you. We ordered a chocolate mousse cheesecake, but found out they were out of it. Ordered Limoncello cake, which was light and fluffy, but basically tasted like something you could buy at Sam's Club. Decor was dated. They could not fit one more table or chair in there if the wanted. It was clean and had that "hometown" feel to it, but it definitely didn't serve up any sort of remarkable ambiance. The biggest saving grace was our server. He had been there forever and knew the history of the place, got our large group's orders correct, and never seemed to sweat it when it got busy. Overall, I don't think I'll be back. read more

the steak diane & chicken deblasio were amazing.the tiramasu ,the best we've ever had.the service by an older italian gentleman great as well.we will go back soon.probably the best meal we've ever had in a restaurant. read more

I ordered from here through Grubhub only to be called 10 minutes after ordering on a Tuesday evening that they cancelled my order because they were too busy. Absolutely terrible customer service and the restaurant didn't even call to apologize, a customer service rep from Grubhub called to tell me. I understand things happen and places get busy but at least apologize to your customer. read more

This is an aged Italian place in a strip mall that has its dedicated regulars, but leaves new customers baffled as to the loyalty. The place was packed on a Friday night but we were able to get a table for four. Note: there is no printed kids menu but they have the usual fair. After we were seated we sat. And sat. About 10-15 minutes goes by without a server stopping by. The hostess who seated us noticed that we hadn't had a server yet and said she's get someone to is ASAP but we still sat. Finally our waitress comes. She didn't give her name but was friendly to our two kids. Note about the seating- hope for a booth because the tables are THISCLOSE to one another. My husband got bumped by servers all night (none of whom apologizes) and I could hear every word of the tables conversation next to us as I was practically in their laps. The bread was fair- kind of dried out. The wedding soup was a disappointment - which is a travesty for an old school red sauce joint. Funky taste and bland. My husband's salad was a decent size. For our entrees, the kids both had spaghetti and meatballs. They ran out of milk, which isn't realize excusable when there is a Giant Eagle in the same plaza. The kids portions were generous but expensive. My husband had chicken Parmesan, a huge serving. He had roasted potatoes as a side (other sides were pasta or veggies), which were served in a small applesauce sized dish and were not very good. I had the homemade ravioli. The dough was heavy and gummy, and slightly undercooked. The sauce was typical red sauce. Took forever to get our check, of course. There was a manager walking around but not stopping at any tables. I would go here again if someone really wanted to go here, but I won't be hurrying back. The price point is too high for fair food, sitting in the lap of our neighbor, and this price point. read more

We had my sons graduation party here. Service was impeccable. Food was amazing. Could not have asked for a more memorable evening!!

What a joke. Foods absolutely abysmal. Just look at the picture of the chicken DeBlasio and that should tell you everything you need to know about the place. Ordered the crab cake and they didn't even bother to fry the f*cking thing. How anyone can post a positive review of this place baffles my mind. read more

This is the only place I've taken my grandmother to that she's actually liked. Waitstaff all sound like they're fresh off the boat, to make a very authentic experience. read more

Don't go if you are from out of town. Tried to take my daughter and my intern for dinner as my daughter is moving here. They would not recognize out of state licenses, even if you are with your Boss or your parents and will not serve you nor will they apologize. Completely embarrassing. Legitimate identification was not accepted- truly unbelievable and we just had the same IDs scanned down the street and they worked fine....hmmm read more

I live nearby, on any given day this is my top 5 italian place to eat. I am in boycott as of july 3rd, when don deblasio treated us great disrespect. He triple booked our table. Basically made an effort to run us out. Haven't been back since read more

Deblasio's has one of the best fish sandwiches around. It is deep fried with a crispy and flaky crust which is seasoned perfectly. The bun is thick, fluffy and toasted. No kidding, the fish extends beyond the bun at least 3 inches on both sides. The fish is white and flaky from end to end. You can get it with cocktail sauce or with the tartar and both are equally good. It is served with lettuce and tomato and comes with seasoned french fries that are lightly battered as well. If you like a good fish sandwich for lunch, it is one of the best around. I want to go back soon. read more

In an unassuming strip mall, sits this family owned gem. Best manicotti I've had in years.. fabulous wedding soup. Anything I've tried at this Italian restaurant has always been top notch. Good service, great prices. GO GO GO. read more

When I think of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin and the rest of the Rat Pack sitting in a private room of a restaurant after a performance, I think of DeBlasio's. Dark paneled walls, large paintings of Italy , dimly lit, and veal dishes out the ying yang. I come here when I want to indulge in cooking like grandma cooked. Here, frying is not bad like say a large order of fries at the O in Oakland. I had a dish of veal, lightly sauteed in a little olive oil after dusted with a little flour, lightly seasoned, and served still sizzling. The only added touch by me was a squeeze of fresh lemon and the dish was complete. This is the only way to eat veal. Please never let me hear of anyone slathering veal with sauce and cheese. A side of green beans and a salad and my meal was complete. read more

The food here is excellent!!! However the employees over in the lounge area are FAR from friendly!The server Colleen is simply terrible SO ignorant , if I had a dollar for every time she rolled her eyes I'd be quite rich. I have never felt more unwelcome at a restaurant my entire life. I was the head server in a country club and her actions made me cringe. Foods great but not worth how uncomfortable I felt eating it due to COLLEEN. She should not be in this industry, at ALL! Tip to all sit in the restaurant NOT the lounge!! read more

horrible service and food waiter threw napkins at us - rude and worse food was not edible ownership must have changed because this place is horrible read more

From the outside, DeBlasio's doesn't look all that special, but don't let looks deceive you! It's much, much bigger on the insdie than it seems and the wait without reservations on a friday night is completely reasonable (15-20 minutes)- and you can wait next door at the bar for your table. The food is excellent- I highly recommend the appetizers! Prices are also reasonable- a spaghetti dinner is under $18- and the portion is large enough that you will have left overs for two meals to take home! read more

Unassuming looks on the outside, but there's a reason why they're packed night after night and in business for many years. Some traditional Italian fare, reasonable prices and some creastive twists on the nightly specials menu. Pepper corn Steak, Diablo Pasta, fresh bread and try their house dressing on your salad. Grandma has to be back in that kitchen somewhere, and she knows how to cook! read more

I love this place. Great Italian. Generous portions. The penne Mona Lisa is delicious. Waitstaff is lovely.

Surprised this place got such good reviews.It just seemed like bland, lukewarm food and tasteless sauce to me. The ambience left alot to the imagination too. Server seemed to have too many tables to keep up with. I feel like Olive Garden has more flavor than the food I had here. read more

Long unknown wait time, angry staff and mediocre food. If you want spaghetti and meatballs, stay home and make it yourself.

The stuffed breadsticks were phenomenal and HUGE! I wish I could find stuffed crust pizza around Pittsburgh that isn't a chain, but this fit the bill! We could have made a meal out of the breadsticks alone. The wedding soup was awesome too. I had the shrimp and lobster tail florentine for my entree, and loved it. Dessert was a snowball cake that was very good with whipped cream icing which I prefer over buttercream. All in all, a great meal with big portions ( I had to take half of my food home) and nice service. Loved this place. read more

Its all our YELPER'S parents restaurant. Great Italian food. Do yourself a favor and sit in bar area. A very older crowd who looks like they are getting ready to head out to a Sinatra concert. Order yourself a manhattan or highball....sit back and enjoy the scene. Quite entertaining. read more

We love this place. Their food is wonderful, and the service is great. The interior is charming, even if it hasn't been updated in a while. The bar is a total hoot at lunchtime, with the local characters. The eggplant Parmesan is a favorite. read more

I will say other than Pizza and Hoagies we've not yet tried too many Italian places, but without a doubt DeBlasio's is some of the best Italian I have had since moving to Western PA about 18 months ago. Stopped in for lunch the other day, it was not busy till we left, service was good, not at all rushed which I liked that actually/ You may not want to go here when your in a hurry. I got a calzone and wife got a sandwich, we liked both. The calzone was large and pretty fully stuffed, not just bread. The sauce however was excellent! I loved the flavor. I'll be back to try some full on more traditional Italian dinner items - soon. read more

It took a few minutes for the host to come up to seat us (It wasn't busy, either), but once we were seated, we were served fairly quickly. The place was a little more on the expensive side, so I was thankful I had a $10 off coupon. Our waitress was friendly enough, and we just beat the dinner rush, so in general, it was a good experience. read more

Don't get their Prime Rib special. Two of our party ordered it the same way. It is absolutely horrible. Ordered it medium rare, came out well done, and thin as lunch meat. Will not be going bad there. Contrary to other reviews, our waitress was great. read more

My sister and I celebrated our parents Golden 50th Wedding Anniversary here. We had a dinner party in the private room. It was enjoyed by all! Doug and Kelsey were very accommodating in making this happen! Kelsey was so patient answering my numerous calls to her throughout the previous months. The food was SO tasty! We had hot banana peppers & zucchini appetizers & 3 main entrees: Chicken Marsala, Chicken Parmesan, & Boston Scrod w/breadcrumbs. It came with delicious vegetables or salad. It was the best salad dressing I've ever had no joke. The waiters were phenomenal. James is from Italy & was very personable to all of our guests. Tom & James gave excellent service & so did the bar. I highly recommend this place for any special event you have coming up! I can't thank Doug, Kelsey, James & the rest of the staff for making this a successful and memorable evening! THANKS DEBLASIO's Christine & Lori read more

My husband and I pass this place on a regular basis and have had it on our list of places to eat. Well, we finally got around to it and I wish we Wouldn't have waited so long. Food was outstanding. Cooked just as we had asked, and the taste was unbelievable!!!!! The server was absolutely perfect. I am very impressed with this place on every level. Although the outside seems small it is rather quite large and just the right amount of noise level. Not so quiet you can hear a pin drop and not so loud that you have to yell to hear each other. I would recommend this place to everyone to try! read more
