Chicago Deep Dish sausage pizza.

This place highly recommend traveling for. Pizza delicious. Staff friendly and kind. Owner is out of the world the best. Food is Fantastic. Coming back to try it ALL.

Arrived when business opened..greeted, seated and drink order taken while we perused the menu....12" thin cut White Pizza with anchovies and Garlic Knots....laid back atmosphere...low volume music...place filled up quickly...tin ceiling tiles...red bulbs...red bicycles....pizza was awesome... no skimping on the anchovies...yum...one of the best around...garlic knots quite tasty also....

My boyfriend and I stopped here after a Butler adventure. We went for a drive and went for a walk in a park in the snow. We found this gem when hunger hit. It is so cute inside and even has an outdoor area to sit in the summertime. We had a couple beers along with a provolone wheel, some delicious wedding soup and the Hawaiian pizza. The wedding soup was loaded with veggies and protein. I highly recommend. Our server was so nice. She brought us a taste of the tomato soup to try and it was delicious and flavorful but a little too creamy for me. The place was getting crowded when we left. Looks very popular. We will definitely be back to try more variety. I heard the garlic knots are very popular as well.

We so enjoyed our visit here. Uniquely bicycle, scooter themed. We've been searching for a Chicago Deep Dish like we had in Florida and we finally found it. It was so good!!! Can't wait to go back and try the other menu items. Oh, the potato chips were amazing too!

Pizza is so so. The thin pizza is not really thin and hawaiian pizza could use more pineapples. The deep dish pizza crust is too crunchy(like crackers) but the toppings were good.

Cheese pizza

Solid Chicago pizza. Interior needs updating. Service was decent, however our server they told us they didn't have lemonade but when I asked the bartender (who was also the cook) he got me one.

Good pizza! And good provolone wheel would go there just for that! Soup not so good. A little pricey.

Went here for Valentine's Day dinner with a group of six. We arrived about 25 minutes before our…read morereservation and spent some time in the lobby area taste-testing a few wines and chatting. The restaurant was only about 50% full, so it didn't seem overly busy. We were seated in the back and ordered drinks, appetizers, and entrees within about five minutes. Our waitress was incredibly nice and attentive -- she was quick with our first two rounds of refills and had a great attitude the entire night. Unfortunately, the timing of the food really hurt the experience. Our appetizers didn't come out until about 45 minutes after ordering, and our entrees arrived an hour and a half after we were seated. By the time our dinners came out, we were the last table left in the restaurant. To make things more frustrating, the meals were brought out in two separate rounds about 10 minutes apart. When the second round finally came, we ended up asking for boxes and the check right away. The food itself was absolutely delicious, and our waitress did everything she could to take care of us. That's why we're giving 3 stars. But waiting an hour and a half for dinner -- especially when the restaurant wasn't very busy -- is just not acceptable. We'd consider giving it another try, but only if the kitchen timing improves.

It's so pretty inside of here. I went here with my mom and my grandma when they first opened. The…read morefood was good and they really enjoyed their green beans. We all got the cod dishes with the potatoes and green beans along with their salad and I think my mom had the soup. The only thing I would like if there were more gluten free options like if I wanted a sandwich, I could get one. Besides the cauliflower crust pizza and the cod, the options for gluten free are limited. Also the bread on the table, oh how I miss bread but if you're gluten free, there is no bread for you. I wasn't hungry after my meal but I was surprised they offered a gluten free dessert because a lot of places don't. The service was lovely as well. I am surprised we were placed in the front compared to the back but it seemed rather loud in the back room with the larger parties. They do have a lot of wine but we didn't try any and their prices seemed fair.

Based off another review I booked the Chef's Table at Albero Verde for my husband tonight. It was…read morenothing short of amazing. Chef Anthony was top notch from start to finish. When I first contacted him he replied almost immediately and set up a time to talk with me about our preferences, dietary restrictions and overall food vibes. He sent me a menu within a day and welcomed feedback. Tonight we sat at the bar where we were able to see into the open kitchen and Chef Anthony walked us through every dish (both ours and those of other diners). Everything was delicious and with the exception of the cannoli shell, made from scratch, in house. Portions were huge for an almost 8 course meal and the pacing was great. The other staff were wonderful and beyond the flavorful food, the pricing is very reasonable. Do yourself a favor and make a reservation. He also recently lost his sous chef due to him being in a really unfortunate accident. So if anyone knows someone looking for work... he's hiring.

We got our Thanksgiving catering from Albero Verde this year. I had been there to celebrate a…read moresuccessful fundraiser for Living Stones and saw the advertising about the Thanksgiving options. I'll post a photo of the menu, but here are some of my thoughts: Turkey - so delicious Mashed potatoes - perfection Stuffing - I loved it but the kids didn't. Honestly they probably would have preferred Stove Top though. Green beans - very tasty but not great as a leftover Cranberry chutney - ok, I love the canned stuff but this was truly a hit. Rolls and butter - literally such delicious butter! Apple pies - they were more like empanadas. I was expecting mini round pies. The crust was amazing but the apples were a bit tart. The pickup was easy and seamless. Everything was packed well. Thank you! We can't wait to come in to eat soon.

I have visited the Mount Lebanon location of this business in the past and had a wonderful time…read morewith both the food and the staff. That being said I wouldn't say this is life-changingly good Italian food, although it is very good. I'm writing this review because I arrived here with a friend at 2 PM on a Sunday, and was immediately told they could only seat us if we promised to be done by 3:45 because they needed the table then. I understand tables have to be held if reserved, but looking around this very large restaurant was only about 1/3 full if that. I also don't feel it's appropriate to communicate scheduling issues to the customer and make them my responsibility. I've never been given a time limit to eat at any restaurant, and from then on the vibes were off. Our server seemed annoyed with us too (maybe because we offered to order everything all at once in order to streamline things because we were told they needed the table) but was perfectly adequate at performing their job. It was a very strange and unwelcoming experience, and I would definitely recommend visiting one of their other locations instead. The food was perfectly fine, but there are other restaurants in the Pittsburgh area with food of the same quality for much lower prices.

Great service with excellent food. Varied menu, great wine list…read more The pasta is fresh made!!! You cannot go wrong here. Great food in a great atmosphere and very good value.

Craft cocktails (OMG...the SPRITZ options) & artisan wines meet an ever-changing Italian menu, all served in an effortlessly upscale setting. Perfect for date night, birthdays, or any special occasion. Pro tip: If you're celebrating, let them know!!! They'll add the guest of honor's name to the menu and the chalkboard above the kitchen. It is such a thoughtful, personal touch. Wine pick: a bottle of Zenato Valpolicella Ripassa (a must if you love red) What I ordered: smoked provolone, casa salad, cacio e pepe, chicken piccata Finished with a birthday chocolate cake...absolutely delicious Save this spot for your next celebration!

I was near the neighborhood and looked up on Yelp for a recommendation and this restaurant came up…read moreas a sophisticated option. Parking is tight, but there is valet. I found a spot on the street. The building is a former school, which makes it interesting. It was busy on a Friday, but I was able to find a seat at the bar upstairs. I find it bizarre that sophisticated restaurants have sports screens at the bar. If you're sitting at the bar, there's nothing else for you to look at. Not in the mood for sports? This is not the place for you. I was surprised that an Italian place like this did not have a good Barbera wine on the menu. Bartender gave me some recommendations and I thought I was getting a sip to try, but he just brought the whole glass. I liked it so no worries there. I ordered the breaded zucchini as an appetizer and a meal. There were four pieces. But they are stuffed with goat cheese, and it just felt too rich. It's OK if you're in a group, but in my case, two pieces was all I could handle. For dessert, I had the banana crème brûlée, which was OK . I would not order it again. I wanted actual pieces of banana on my dessert which that one didn't have. Overall, it was an OK experience, but I would not go back .
