Was visiting the area for a business trip and came across this place and when I got there, this place was packed. They offered me to sit at the bar and took the chance cause the food looked really good and it really was! But I'll say this that the wait time was very long but worth the wait but I let it slide cause the World Cup was going on at the moment. Initially I wanted to sit outside on the patio but that was full as well but the atmosphere was genuine. Props to the workers because I got to see the bartenders do a lot more than just serve drinks. It's been 2 months since then and I've been thinking of making the 8 hour trip (one way) just to go back and had whatever pasta and pastries I had that day. Thanks from East TN read more

How disappointing. When I arrived at the restaurant, it was dark and closed. I wish there had been a website, but I didn't see one. The owner apologized but still, it would have been nice to try this restaurant. She said it was closed for the weekend. It has a cute little patio in the front, with lots of nice plants. read more

As soon as I walked in the doors it felt like I was transported back to Italy. This family run business is a Pittsburgh gem and the owners are as sweet as their pastries. Hands down some of the best desserts in the city by a long shot. The pizza is also very good and service was quick during lunch time. It is a very intimate interior and would be great for a date night. Will be back to try some homemade pasta! read more

Food is always good but ever since John left, the seating arrangements and greetings by Kelly are saucy. She clearly has her favorite patrons yet lets tables go without seating for 90 minutes or more. Frustrating for patrons much less for the staff who don't make as much money and now barely show any personality when she is around (service is still great mind you). We're regulars and it's been a fun, vivacious place for years until the past six or so weeks. Maybe we start a search mission to bring John back! read more

We had the best date night at Severina! It was truly some of the best italian i've had in a long time. I started my meal with an aperol spritz. We also loved the bread and salad that came with our entrees! I enjoyed the red pepper pasta as my meal and the sauce was one of the best I ever had. I also had to bring some tiramisu home (i think i'll be eating it for the next few days because the serving is huge!!)! Overall great experience, service, and food! read more

The food was amazing and the dessert counter divine. Wait staff very attentive 10/10

A nice small place with a good vibe...but u better not be in a hurry. Our party of 4 had a rez for 5pm so we could head downtown for a 7p show. At 6:50, we gout our entrees. Everyone sitting outside was unhappy about how long it was taking to get foo that had been ordered. The chicken parm was delicious...the stuffed banana peppers were great too....but they need to get quicker. Maybe the kitchen is small ‍ read more

I've waited a year to get here. It's quite a drive from the south hills but omg was it worth it! We will definitely be back! One thing I was slightly disappointed with was the pasta is not homemade as I thought. It is 'high quality' premade pasta. It was still an amazing birthday dinner for me it is small inside so be sure to make reservations! read more

My wife and I went out to diner the other night. I was in the mood for Italian so we decided to try somewhere different. We decided on Severina as it was close and had good reviews. I like to eat early and we got there just after it opened and it was already crowded. They asked if we had a reservation unfortunately we did not even think to do so. The server said we could sit at the bar which was fine. The waitress and service overall was fantastic. I ordered chicken parm and it came with spaghetti. They also served a salad and rice balls and bread. The rice balls where very good as well as the salad. The chicken opera was just ok nothing special at all. I would recommend this place as the service was excellent. I am not sure I would go again, But maybe. I would highly recommend you make a reservation if you intend to go as we got lucky there where seats at the bar. read more

We went there for the first time only because we happened to be in the area. We will be back regardless of the distance. The food is made from scratch, with a daily menu featuring about eight entrée choices along with appetizers. I had the pasta with sausage, banana peppers, and Peppadew peppers. The sauce was magnificent. My wife had the chicken Marsala. Both meals were perfect. read more

This was my first time visiting this little Italian restaurant, and it felt like stepping right into Grandma's kitchen while she cooks an authentic Italian meal for everyone. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and full of that homemade charm you just can't fake. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu--every dish we saw and tried tasted fresh, comforting, and made with love. And don't skip dessert! They have some truly delicious options that make the perfect ending to the meal. One tip: arrive early. Seating is limited, and this cozy spot fills up quickly. But it's absolutely worth the wait. A hidden gem for anyone craving genuine Italian comfort food! read more

Absolutely amazing! Make sure to make reservations! We came as a walk-in about 20 minutes after opening and had to wait a half hour for some seats to open up. Small, cozy, welcoming.. You can feel that it's family owned. Everything here is made with love and passion for food and entertaining. We ordered the arancini, penne with sausage and peppers, and chicken parm. The entrees come with fresh bread and a small salad with mixed greens, cucumber, onion, cherry tomato, and a very delicate and sweet balsamic dressing. The arancini were super crispy on the outside with very creamy risotto on the inside. The marinara is bright and pairs perfectly. The pasta dishes were incredible! The sausage and peppers penne had a little kick to it that was balanced by the acidity and sweetness from the tomato marinara sauce. This was the dish we both enjoyed the most. The chicken parmesan was very juicy and came with a perfectly cooked spaghetti. Make sure you visit the dessert counter on your way out to take something home. There is a raspberry chocolate ricotta cake that you will be craving forever! read more

Genuinely the best Italian I've had in a looonnngg time (if not, ever!!!). If you want to eat here, make sure you make a reservation! Everyone is so kind and attentive and takes such great care of you. We got the scallops, sausage and pepper pasta, and the chicken sugo. For dessert, we had the maritozzi and crème brûlée. read more

Wow, what a nice little quaint restaurant on Center Avenue just outside West View. Quality food. When there is limited selections on the menu you know they serve some of the best food. We had an enjoyable meal and the people are exceptionally personable. Do not leave empty handed, the pastries are absolutely exquisite. We'll stop by more ofter. Popular place with reservation required I believe. You will not be disappointed. read more

I've been driving by this place for a couple years now driving to and from a friend's house and finally got to check it out this Saturday. First off, I am SO glad we made a reservation. I knew this place always looked crowded when I drove by, but I had no idea. There was barely any room for us to walk up to the counter to tell them we were here for our reservation. The place is tiny and everyone wants to be there. The whole vibe reminded me of being in Italy. Don't go there if you're in a rush though! The food was so good! We ordered arancini for an appetizer and it may have been the best arancini we've ever had. Their red sauce is perfect, the crisp on the fry, the cheese - chef's kiss! So good. For meals, we ordered chicken parm and bolognese. We were both so happy with our meals! The meals also come with a side salad that comes out beforehand and even the dressing was delicious. They also give you bread and butter when you sit down. We had some drinks while we were there too. We both got a cocktail and the house montepulciano - all was very good. As far as service - everyone was BUSY! Our food did take a pretty long time to come out, so I repeat - don't go if you're in a rush. Overall though, there was always staff walking by that you could flag down if you needed anything. Our water was always full, our cocktails were fairly quick (considering the crowd), and the wine was at our table almost immediately. It was really just waiting on the kitchen, so maybe they need another person back there, idk. We will 100% be back again. read more

My friends and I were excited to go having heard about this place for a while. Unfortunately, it was a major disappointment. After two hours, I was asking about our food and being told that they would check on it. The food came half an hour later and was OK. Even exceptional food isn't worth the 2 1/2 hour wait but this was average Italian food. We watched people who came after us come and go before we even got our salads. Management made no apologies or accommodations on our bill. read more

This place was recommended to us and what a great recommendation it was. It's in a neighborhood and you don't think you're going to a restaurant until you find it has a great patio and room for probably 40 people inside. The food is fabulous. We had their sangria first off and it was very tasty. I had the chicken Parm, which sounds boring, but it was delicious the sauce on the spaghetti that accompanied the chicken was the best sauce tomato chunks I've ever tasted my girl ordered the halibut and it was fresh and cooked perfectly and the risotto was to die for then we had two of their nice desserts great place must be on your list if you're a foodie for Italian read more

The place is absolutely cute The food looked appealing. So I came to order the white pizza. The customer experienced sucked. Absolutely horrible. Im not sure if I experienced this because I am of ethnic culture. It exuded pure racism, to be honest. I was so uncomfortable, I grabbed a buffalo slice and left. Needless to say, the pizza was really good. But, I wouldn't come here or bring any one of color to this establishment. read more

We tried to order takeout for dinner but was told they only do take out for lunch so instead we just got some desserts to go. The man behind the counter making coffee and "helping" us was generally unpleasant. Seemed annoyed that we were even there asking questions, didn't smile, and the other employees didn't acknowledge us at all. We got 3 different slices of desserts from the case and it's was $28. I will say we enjoyed the desserts but with that price and the negative interaction, probably won't be back. read more

What a wonderful hidden gem! I had no idea this place was even here. It was a busy bustling night on a Tuesday. Service was great, food all Homemade and delicious and the DESSERTS!!! I can't wait to go back and try everything on the menu. read more

Stopped by with a reservation for two towards the end of dinner service on a busy Friday evening. We were seated quickly. Servers were still busy wrapping up service to other tables which is fine. The menu was a little shorter than I expected, but we both found something that interested us. I had the classic chicken parm which was very tasty. My daughter ordered the pesto pasta with chicken added and was pleased with her choice. Dinner includes bread and butter and a small side salad. The ambiance inside is noisy when crowded as the dining room is one space with the bar in a back corner. Lots of hard surfaces reverberate sound. Outside seating is seasonal and looked enchanting on a nice early fall evening with lights and umbrella tables. Overall we enjoyed the experience. Pricing is a bit high perhaps. Oh - do not leave without trying a dessert either at your table or to go. They are delicious too. read more

The service was absolutely horrendous. Seated 20 minutes after our reservation, took over an hour for our dishes to come out, they forgot our appetizers, coffee took 20 minutes to bring out. Food is good. Def take out, don't sit there. Overpriced as well. PS: After leaving a review about the service being terrible. The one owner Jonathan Bagnato proceeded to message me making fun of my outfit and appearance. Very professional response read more

Excellent genuine Italian restaurant. We dropped in on a Friday and were quickly seated. The dinning area is small, a little cramped. There is outdoor seating for the summer time, which, had it been in season we would have most likely elected to sit outside. Mid January, the dinning area was chilly and I am usually one to not wear a jacket coat. We both just settled on domestic beers to drink. From the time we arrived until food was on the table was roughly one hour. Food was excellent. We ordered a pizza, half pepperoni and half sausage, a Mushroom and black truffle pasta, and a caesar salad with chicken. The pizza had the perfect crust and did not disappoint. The pasta was done very nicely. We got 4 desserts to go. I definitely recommend the cheesecake! Overall we were happy with our visit and plan to return once the patio opens back up. read more

Great family owned restaurant, with a small footprint, making a lot of good things happen. The food is just amazing. I had the scallops and they were cooked perfectly, with a perfect side of risotto. Others had pasta, and it looked just beautiful. We also had apps including stuffed peppers, arancini balls, and a cheese and prosciutto platter. Those did not disappoint either. The desserts were equally delicious. Had some of the cheesecake and this incredible cappuccino tort. I still have daydreams about both of them. So why only four stars? well, the service is just really slow. Like if I wasn't surrounded by great friends, I'm pretty sure this would would have *really* bothered me. Don't get me wrong, everyone there was working their butts off, but everything was a 10 to 15 minute wait. From just getting menus and water, to our wine and drink orders, to getting apps and food. I'd say the meal took ~ 2.5 hours. That all said, it was a Friday night. The place was packed. And through it all, the staff was so polite and upbeat. So will I go back? Yes, definitely. But maybe not in a Friday night. Oh and side note, street parking was plentiful for those wondering. read more

My new favorite restaurant. Amazing food and well done drinks. We went right before the holidays so it was quite busy but had a great time because of the authentic feel and great atmosphere. read more

What a little gem. While we didn't try any, the pastries looked delicious. The white pizza was garlicky and delicious. Crust was crisp on the outside and nice and fluffy but not too big. Italian panini was flavorful and the pesto was a perfect touch. Hubby enjoyed the cafe latte and I had the chai tea latte (it was a bit sweet for my taste but the species were great). Looking forward to returning and trying their other offerings read more

Phenomenal. This place was PACKED (for good reason) on the Saturday night my family went, but they were able to fit us. My dad, who is the most picky Italian food eater alive, said the sausage & pepper pasta he had was the best he's eaten since his Nani's -- that's huge praise. The chef clearly knows what he's doing. I had a roasted red pepper pasta with chicken that was delicious as well, and my mom loved her bolognese. Make sure to get dessert too! They make all of the desserts in-house and you can tell. The cannoli was fresh, just the right level of sweet and flaky. We also had some of their homemade gelato that melted in your mouth. Cannot recommend more. read more

Felt like I was back in France - Great food. Place to go to linger over great food. No rush. Not a place to go if you're in a rush. Definitely recommend reservations - even on a weekday evening there was a line by 30 minutes after opening. read more

One of my favorite Italian restaurants in the city! Every time I go to Severina's I'm impressed with how delicious everything is. From the fresh bread to start, to apps like mussels, arancini, and the creamy whipped ricotta, and entrees and pizzas that are out this world. All amazing! I recommend making a reservation but there has always been seats available when I've gone. The space is always buzzing with people drinking wine and outstanding spritzes (so perfect for summer). And the dessert case is always jam packed with authentic and innovative Italian favorites (sfogietelle, cannoli, blood orange tiramisu, oh my) and freshly made gelato. So don't forget to get some to go! Sometimes the food can take a little bit of time but imagine you're in a cafe in Italy, have a glass of Prosecco, and enjoy. Mangia mangia! read more

Moved to the area and noticed this place on the side of the road. Saw their red umbrellas and thought it looked super cute so we made plans to go one day. We got there right at opening and entered on the pastry counter side. The waiter asked if we had reservations and seemed to give us a weird look at the fact we did not. However, their demeanor changed after we were sat and began ordering. The seating inside is small and can get fairly loud, I'd recommend sitting outside. The table was given bread and oil and we ordered seasonal scallop dish, seasonal steak dish, one pasta dish and one pizza. The food was amazing. I had the scallops which was oddly topped with apple but paired so well. My friend had the pizza and said it was amazing. We skipped on desserts but those looks amazing too. Great little place but definitely make reservations. read more
