Halibut
Rodger S.

We had a very good meal here. The highlight for me was that I ordered the baked halibut & it was delicious. Everyone in the family was happy with their food, although the kids got pretty restless because we had to wait a long time for our food to arrive.

Ceasar Salad

This place was so cute and quaint. It's a little spot but everyone is so nice. We decided fo try this place on a whim and was just really craving good Italian..... they usually require a reservation, but they were nice and was able to fit us in. The portion sizes were huge and the food was just as good! The chicken was so flavorful and the ingredients I could tell were fresh. They also provide bread and rolls and my son loved them. The waitstaff was very friendly and attentive and I will be back!

This is what is more similar to what usually comes out of the kitchen

The food wasn't good at all. I ordered the peppers and chicken. I have had this before so I know what it's supposed to look and taste like. Food came out, the sauce was dark overcooked oily and tasted burnt. The chicken pieces were small. The portion was about 1/2 of what was usual. It was almost of they took one order and divided it. Our waitress didn't deliver it but she did come over and ask. I told her it wasn't good, that it was small - she comments that she saw it when it came out and thought it looked small but offered a free desert (which I don't take) and said she wished she could do something but the manager wasn't there. The waitress was very nice and apologetic. I did eat it and paid the price the rest of the night. Was planning on simply sending an email to the restaurant but website is down.

Scrod in Burre Blanc
Dennis G.

We had dinner at Scooglio's this summer. We were very happy with our choice. We were supprised to see it was located in an office building at the time, but very pleased with our meals. Our server, I believe it was Irene, was very pleasant and helpful. The spumoni dessert was a treat. We will certainly go back when we are in the area, although I understand they are in a new location.

I came here for the spring meeting of the Carnegie collegiate women's club. There were 38 of us. The food was exceptional! I had the spots (fish), which was served with a salad and mushroom risotto. The service is also exceptional! With such a large party, our servers were flawless. Highly recommend.

A quaint restaurant that brings Northern Italian cuisine to Pittsburg. Pasta, seafood & other traditional Italian fare, plus wine, in a quaint, comfortable space! Delicious food, wonderful venue & amazing foods! Went for a rehearsal dinner and had the best experience with food and staff! Food came out in a timely manor, family- style appetizers and side dishes. Drinks never went empty! Great spot for all occasions.

Veal chop special

Scoglios redeemed itself with our recent visit. We were seated right away (we did have a reservation). The place was pretty empty but filled up quickly, even the outdoor tables were full. Our server was great and our food arrived at the appropriate intervals. Everything was excellent.

Chicken Milanese
Eileen H.

Five of us had reservations and visited on a Wednesday night. We were seated right away upon arrival, and our drink order was taken. The restaurant is cozy with simple decor. The menu is a nice size with a lot of Italian favorites! I chose the Chicken Milanese and it was amazing! It was fried perfectly and the chicken was very tender. There was an assortment of rolls brought out with dinner as well, and you had your choice of butter or dipping oil. We all really enjoyed our meals and even had leftovers! I would definitely eat here again when in the area.

Branzino w/ Crab Cake special
Marco P.

Dinner was good; no complaints. Sat at the bar, appeared to be quite a few regulars and bar back was friendly. Hostess was grumpy, and at least one of the serving staff that made its way to the bar seemed disgruntled. Was a strange vibe. Had the lemon cheesecake after, skip it.

Gf tortellini! Make sure you call to see if they have it. Limited menu item when they have it.

Loved Scoglios when it was in Green tree and love it even more now that it's closer to me! Family owners, superb drinks, delicious entrees, appetizers, and desserts! I also have celiac disease and they really do their best efforts for me! The gf banana foster cheesecake that was GF was fabulous.

Seriously what's not to love about this place. From the servers to the food to the ambiance, both…read moretimes we've been here it's been immaculate. Got the pasta with a crispy chicken cutlet again, which could have been a meal on its own-may have been a foot across. House made pasta was delicious as usual. Star of this round was the brussel sprouts, by far the best I've ever had. Have heard people say they can make vegetables take on that meaty taste, and this nails it. And they're huge! Meatballs melt in your mouth.

Food: We ordered the Spaghetti Pesto Alfredo & Rigatoni Tomato Cream…read more The ingredients listed on the menu is what you get. Very simple, no extra effort given beyond the output of a classic italian dish. Each plate proportionately could have fed two people so it felt like we were eating for four. We both left full, but underwhelmed with the flavor profiles rendered. Service: Overall our waitress was pretty absent, having asked us how we were doing only twice, leaving little room for any comments or feedback to be offered. She recognized her absence and offered us a surprise tiramisu (complimentary) to make up for the lack of attentiveness to our table. Seating: A large bar stretches the restaurant accompanied by wooden chairs, tables and a few booths tucked against the parallel wall. The seating is not tight, meaning you have space between yourself and other parties but the wooden chairs/tables were uncomfortable. In 2026, we just expected a little more from a restaurant charging $20+ for pasta plates. Affordability: If you're going out for drinks and an appetizer, you might be able to sneak your bill in for under $50, but otherwise forget it. Each plate is $20+ with options on the wine list reaching as high as $200+ ... We wouldn't describe this atmosphere as fancy, but the prices are trying to be. Comments: Always support local, small business and give every spot a try. We left this restaurant full, but saying we wouldn't be back, and think it's important that you get an opportunity to read an honest review before you spend your hard earned money. Take care, and happy eating!

A few of us came in for dinner on a weeknight and they were packed, so it was a good thing we made…read morereservations. They were happy when they quickly greeted and seated us. The venue is beautifully decorated and though it's small, they do a nice job with spacing of the tables for all the guests they can accommodate at once. They are also BYOB, but offer a QR code for a neighboring wine shop who will deliver any bottle you select and pay for via the QR code at your table - This is great because they don't charge a corking fee when you do this, but if you do bring your own, they charge a modest corking fee, I think $8. Their menu is excellent... it's filled with so many appetizing options! We started with their stuffed peppers - OMG, EXCELLENT!! Any time I'm in the Pittsburgh area I need to try a few things, this being one of them. These were probably some of the best I've ever had! The sauce was finely ground and really flavorful. The peppers were perfectly cooked to keep their beauty and texture and they were spicy too! We also requested a large order of their table bread and asked for a side of EVOO with it. I sprinkled grated pecorino and freshly ground red chili flakes into the EVOO to make an incredible dipping sauce which worked perfectly with that bread! For my entrée I enjoyed their amazing Spinach Tagliatelle which came perfectly presented and tasted amazing! The spinach was perfectly cooked to the proper texture and the sauce was so good I didn't mind it having eggplant in it (which I hate). Save room for dessert, their panna cotta was great! Overall, the entire experience was very nice, I'd definitely return!

It's somewhat like classy Italian food with entrees starting in the $20s. If you pay with cash, you can get a 5% discount! They have an awesome joint deal with the winery next door called Grapperia where if you buy a bottle, they'll waive the $8 corkage fee. It's a nice place to try new wine at dinner. We got the smoked gouda and nduja pizza & scallop mezzaluna (with the latter as part of their new year menu). Honestly, the pizza was way better than I expected, I'd say the best of these two dishes. It was thin but well flavored with the gouda, tad spiciness (or rather kick) from the salami, and creaminess of the roasted squash. I don't normally like white pizza nor squash on my pizza(?), but this tasted rather good and unique! The scallop mezzaluna was as if the scallop was a ravioli filling. So the dish came with 9 half moonish pasta/raviolis served in a very simple sauce of lemon and processo. It was okay, my first time trying something like this but I wish there was more or had an oomph to it. I'd love to come back here and try more of their pizzas!

This is the best Italian restaurant I've been to in a long time. It's five stars for their service,…read moreatmosphere, and their food. Not just service with a smile, we were entertained. It was fun watching them fix drinks and mix pasta in the cheese wheel. Sparkling water House salad: candied walnuts and raisins make it next level. House pasta: corkscrew pasta with homemade vodka sauce is delicious. Filet mignon Diane: tender, juicy, lots of flavor here. Birthday dessert - raspberry tiramisu Complimentary small strawberry filled cannoli was the best cannoli I've ever eaten. There are three levels of dining rooms. We were up on the second floor. Very ornate decor and a beautiful spiral staircase. AJ was a joy to have as our server this evening. We were seated at the bar. But we were treated just like any other table. Great service all night. (7 photos; 1 video)

Seated via OpenTable Reservations…read more Food & Drink: - Mixed Drink(s): 5 / 5 Sip of Sunshine Old Fashioned - My server recommended it and I couldn't understand why he called it SOS until I had it. Spoiler: it's not the name. Clean, clear, smells like any other bourbon until that first sip reveals just how perfectly blended it is. The kind of drink you savor while watching the sun set on the horizon. Crème Brûlée Espresso Martini - As my heart rate settled from the first drink I needed something to kick it back up. One sip and I could've read the dictionary cover to cover without blinking. Close your eyes and the aroma takes you straight to that first cup of coffee fresh out of the pot. Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Martini - Beautiful presentation but flatter in flavor than the previous two. However for a final cocktail that was exactly the point -- the perfect calm down after a rich and spicy meal. - Food: 4.25 / 5 Bread, Oil & Dip: A great palate cleanser that quickly taught me the chef loves his spices. The dip was described as "Italian Hummus" and if this is the standard I completely understand the hype. Appetizer - Ceviche Peruviano: Think of that forgotten appetizer thrown together last minute for a dinner party, a hodgepodge of raw fish and vegetables. But every bite delivers an explosion of complementary flavors, and that sneaky hint of spice hiding in the raw fish bites will wake you up immediately. Pre-pasta - Tuscan Kale Salad: Needed something to cleanse my palate after the spicy ceviche and frankly I am tired of Caesar salad. Not a kale fan normally because it tastes like dirt, but the lemon vinaigrette adds just enough flavor to make that dirt genuinely enjoyable. Pasta - Cacio E Pepe: Easily the highlight. My buddy describes it perfectly as fancy fettuccine. I have never liked fettuccine until now. My server, who prepared it himself, recommended adding house chili oil for a slight kick. I went one click past recommended and even then it was still divine. I would order it again without hesitation. Entrée - Veal Chop, Lobster Tail & Vegetables (Chef's preference): After riding Cloud 9 all evening I felt like Icarus flying too close to the sun. One word: bland. The veal was overcooked with all the flavor locked into the fat, and the lobster tail tasted like a convenience store impulse buy. The best use of those bones would be soup stock. I had no desire to finish it. Dessert - Tuxedo Crème Brûlée: As much as I wanted the house raspberry tiramisu I left the choice to my server after some back and forth. He recommended this for its balance of sweetness and berry bitterness and he was right. The perfect final note to tap out on. Service: 10 / 5 Even now, I still don't think I tipped my server enough. Dining alone, he made the evening feel like I had a companion at the table. Great conversation, personalized attention, and a level of service that few will ever experience. It was a pleasure to talk to someone who knows and appreciates food as much as I do. If you want an exceptional dining experience, request AJ as your server. I promise you won't be disappointed. Vibe: 5 / 5 Presentation, presentation, presentation. That is the theme every dish and the environment itself conveys the moment you walk through the doors at Alla Famiglia. This is a place for those who want to feel bourgeois for the night. Overall 4.25 / 5: My goal in life is to become a regular somewhere. There is something special about finding a place you love so much that every visit still feels like a new experience. Alla Famiglia is exactly that type of place. During my visit I was introduced to new items and dishes not listed on the menu, which only adds to that sense of discovery. It may be a while before I return since this place isn't cheap and my restaurant bucket list is long, but I will be back. Hopefully AJ is still there when I do, because that is exactly the kind of server you want in your corner as a regular. Recommend? Absolutely
