I got to try their lasagna, which came with a meatball, bread, and wedding soup. I quite enjoyed this meal. Prices were OK and the portion was satisfying. The lasagna had quite a lot of ricotta and it was reasonably flavorful, but I would have liked a bit more of a flavor from the sauce. The meatball was quite large. Not too flavorful and a bit of a tough texture (almost sausage like), but still good. Bread was very basic but free so can't complain. The wedding soup was quite good. Small cup but flavorful broth and quite a good amount of cheese (I think?) in there. All in all, I enjoyed my meal here. Good little Italian spot in East McKeesport and probably one of the better restaurants in this area.

My drink was good and the highlight of the meal. The service was decent (though when we got there we weren't sure we'd be seated despite our reservation) and the young girls at desk seemed confused (Saturday night). The Chilean sea bass was a true disappointment with insignificant Asian veggie mix under the fish in a clear unimaginative broth. The fish was fishy, tough and just not great and overpriced at $44. We hoped for a great meal but it definitely was a bust. Ambiance pleasant enough.

This hidden gem must be kept a secret! My parents recommended this restaurant after someone took…read morethem here for dinner. The restaurant is located in their old warehouse where they originally just made the noodles. Now they do everything here! So the industrial chic vibes are off the charts. The food is even better. WARNING: you will not finish everything. And that's okay, it's meant to be like this. Be prepared to take leftovers and enjoy them the next day. I highly recommend getting a charcuterie board, burrata, burrino, or really any appetizer especially the cheesy bread. My main entree: Tagliolini had jumbo lump crab meat. It tasted even better the next day! The wine was divine. We'd probably eat here more often if it wasn't so far away.

I want to start this review by saying that the food at Cenacolo is a 5, full stop. There are many…read moreItalian places in southwest PA, but the cuisine at this one beats them all.

You simply can't beat the food here, and you get a ton of it. Do not fill up on the bread before your entree arrives, because the portion sizes are HUGE. I got another full meal out of mine the next day, and it was just like raiding an Italian grandma's fridge. My wife got a two leftover meals from hers. I'm sure the apps and deserts are equally as good, but I can't see ordering one knowing that a giant plate of hot pasta is on the way. The wine list is very basic, and I honestly don't know what brand of red blend they brought me, but it was very good anyway. It's kind of quaint in the face of so many other places flexing huge lists while their food is boring. They also have a full bar and several specialty cocktails. My wife enjoyed her watermelon something-or-other. At the end of the meal they serve complimentary limoncello and the tiniest little almond cookies. Very nice. Okay, so why am I giving them a 4? Two reasons- location and service. If you don't already know where Cenacolo is located, good luck finding it. It's tucked away in the middle of a residential area in what looks like a mostly vacant mixed office and light industrial complex, and they share a long approach with a postal sorting facility. It's pretty well hidden, and GPS will have trouble getting you there. Once you do find it, the interior is very dated and well worn. It feels like a basement and could use a refresh. The second issue we had was slow service. We were seated quickly and our waitress took our drink order, but after that we spent a lot of time waiting for things and trying to get her attention. She also looked like she had just worked a double shift in the kitchen, with her all black outfit covered with stains and flour. It was a bit off-putting. Regardless, I'll be back again soon and often. This place is great, and the food far outweighs any negatives.

Cooked to perfection....crispy, not greasy, exactly how they should be! Service was friendly and fast, which made the whole experience even better. They had Penn Sarris Chocolate Peanut Butter beer on tap, and wow--seriously yum. Definitely grab it before it's gone! Bonus points for not charging that annoying 3% credit card fee.
