    Truly the best spot in Downtown Pittsburgh for a rooftop happy hour!! Great vibes and incredible drinks. I have been multiple times and it never disappoints.

    Fig and Arugula Pizza
    Cameron

    Nice atmosphere and solid Italian food, I really liked the ambiance with the lights, holiday decorations, and lighting. The drinks were really fun, especially their seasonal ones! The pizza and pasta were also fairly good, you can definitely feed two per pizza, and the fig drizzle was delicious! It's a very floppy pizza crust, which isn't my preference, but it was a good thin style. The other flavor combinations also looked good, especially the hot honey. The only thing is that the food and drinks took forever to arrive, even when the restaurant was only half full. But, our server was very nice and took great care of us, so overall, would still recommend as a solid spot downtown!

    Pumpkin Waffles - delicious
    Carla L.

    It has been a few years since I was in this establishment, but nostalgia kicked in as soon as I got seated by the window. This is one of the few places in downtown that survived the pandemic and offers a rooftop bar. Very nice! There are 3 floors and different ambiences. We were welcomed with a dazzling mimosa tasting that sparked joy and bubbles. The pumpkin waffle was absolutely amazing! Thank you for your hospitality.

    French Toast...not great, lots of ham and somewhat burnt.

    Came with some friends for brunch. We had reservations which was good because it was packed. Food took a while to come out but the staff was friendly and helped us navigate the drink ordering. Loved the fireworks when the drinks are delivered. Now for the bad. Food took a long time to come out. I ordered the quiche and the waitress brought me French toast instead. That was really disappointing but I didn't want to wait another 30 minutes for my meal so I accepted the French toast. It was pretty bad ; burnt on the edges and just smothered in jam. When I got my bill I expected some compensation for the wrong food, but they didn't even apologize again. Not impressed.

    creme brulee

    The service was good and they were kind about the issues that we had. Someone in my group ordered the chicken parm, the chicken was raw, and needed to be taken back. They comped the chicken so if that was the only issue it would've been completely fine. Then for dessert we ordered crème brûlée and it came out with completely burnt sugar and gritty texture. They comped the crème brûlée as well because it was not edible. Our server was incredibly kind and understanding. Otherwise our meal was very good, the gnocchi, spaghetti carbonara, and the salmon was great.

    Hot honey pizza, salmon, and chicken marsala were delicious and nicely presented. We enjoyed our wine flights, and the service was terrific. Looking forward to trying the rooftop bar next summer!

    Loaded Baked Potato Bowl!
    Kate M.

    This is such a fun concept of a restaurant located in Pittsburgh's Cultural District. It is a three-story building and each floor is a different menu. 1st Floor - Emporio: A Meatball Joint 2nd Floor - Mezzo 3rd Floor - Il Tetto Rooftop Beer Garden We picked to eat at Emporio, which is located on the first floor. I got the Loaded Baked Potato Bowl which was SO good. I will be dreaming about this meal for a while. It included so many of my favorite things. The base was white cheddar mashed potatoes and it was topped with tator tots, cheese, bacon, scallions, and two classic beef meatballs. They had a few bowls that they have already built, like the one I ordered, or you can build your own bowl. They have so many great ingredients and toppings to choose from. This is such a fun and unique location and I can't wait to check out one of the other floors on our next trip to Pittsburgh!

    Went with some friends on a weekday night so it was pretty empty. I got a pasta to which I cannot remember the name of it but it had chicken on it, and unfortunately it was very bland. The drinks were good though. However, I probably wouldn't come back.

    What an interesting restaurant concept. I can honestly say I've never seen a "balls" themed restaurant lol From beef meatballs to chicken garlic balls to vegetarian balls to falafel - there's a ball for everyone. Liked the look & feel of the place, exposed red brick and cool artwork. Very friendly service and food came out quickly. Bar looked like a busy, fun area. I had the falafel wrap with no slaw - MMMMM. Tzatziki on point. French fries were decent and their homemade ranch was fire. My hubby had the beef meatball sub, he gave it a high (3.8/5) - good flavor but a little dry. Crack sauce on top was helpful. Bloody Mary mix was basic. The Mac & Cheese looked like "school cafeteria macaroni" but was surprisingly delicious. Not sure if we'd dine here again since there's so many places to try in Pittsburgh, but good meal!

    Ask the Community - Sienna Mercato

    Is it currently open for dine-in?

    Yes. All three venues are open. Check the website at www.siennamercato.com to check out the latest hours.

    Can you order food on the roof top?

    Yes you can! We have a variety of delicious food including Buffalo Fried Chicken Balls, Fried Provolone, Chicken Wings, Cheesy Bread, Fried Zucchini, Buffalo Chicken Dip, Bar Olives, and Garlic Bread.

    Can you bring friends that are not 21?

    Yes you can! Guests that are not 21 are allowed to come to the Il Tetto but we ask that they leave the rooftop and head down to the first or second floor by 10pm. Thank you!

    What's the music selection or minimal music?

    I don't particularly remember the music, but the noise level isn't quiet and romantic. Its definitely more casual and talky, if you know what I mean.

    I have a large group (fluctuating number for a conference) for Saturday night dinner. How busy will the roof top area be since they don't accept reservations?

    I agree with Monica. If it's a nice night that place can get packed and they have rules about how many people can be on the roof at once... So depending on their timing some of your party may not even make it up to the roof all at the same time.

We stopped by while walking around the Strip District looking for a quick lunch. During lunch service, you order at the kiosk, find a seat, and clean up after yourself, which makes for a casual and easy experience. Food: The tomato sauce here is probably some of the best red sauce I've had in a long time. We ordered the Caprese Panzanella, meatballs, crispy potatoes, and spaghetti with red sauce. Everything was delicious, but the salad completely stole the show for me. It was packed with fresh ingredients, bright flavors, and so many different textures that worked perfectly together. Every dish tasted fresh, simple, and executed well. Service: For lunch, you're mostly taking care of yourself, but the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming whenever we interacted with them. This is one of those places that doesn't need a long review because you really just need to try it for yourself. I'd absolutely recommend stopping by if you're visiting Pittsburgh for either lunch or dinner. Fresh ingredients, great flavors, and a fun atmosphere. My only regret is losing my phone and all the photos I took here!

It is a very cozy Italian restaurant that's serving homemade Italian food like your Nonna would make for you. We showed up on a Tuesday night and it was packed. It was around six or 6:30 in the evening and when we first got there, we were told it would be about a 20 minute wait before a two top was available. But the host came back and asked if we didn't mind sitting by the kitchen they could see us right away. We chose to sit by the kitchen, which honestly was probably the best option because it was actually a little bit quieter because there was a very large party that was celebrating a birthday and they had live music going on so it was hard to hear when you were in the main dining space but back by the kitchen it's a little bit quieter and we could actually hear ourselves talk. My husband got the penne with meatballs and the penny was nicely cooked with a beautiful tomato Bass sauce and the meatballs or some of the best Italian meatball he's ever had. His only complaint was that there were only two in the order and he wished there would've been three. I got the spinach and ricotta, stuffed ravioli, and by far one of the best raviolis I've ever had. The ravioli are large so there's only about five in a dish but they're packed fully and the flavoring and seasoning is absolutely spectacular. It's got a beautiful sauce like accompanies it and the chew you can definitely tell it is handmade pasta/ravioli. Our server, Emma was absolutely spectacular and was so kind. We truly enjoyed our experience here and would highly recommend anybody to check it out if you're in the area. But we also do recommend make your reservations ahead of time. This place gets packed quickly.

The waitresses are friendly and have great recommendations. I got to try their linguine rustica (essentially the clam pasta dish), a cappuccino, some cherry soda, and soup of the day, as well as complimentary bread. They got that bread out very quickly! Very soft, and served with quite high quality olive oil. The bottle has both olive oil and balsamic! The soup of the day was quite good as well. It was some sort of beef broth, I think may a beef and bean soup. Chickpeas in there as well. Next time, I might try the salad. The salad they have as a side is so good, an amazing portion and seems so fresh and tasty. The mains were excellent. Very good pasta with clam sauce. Lots of clam meat and a flavorful oil based sauce. My friend had some red penne with chicken and enjoyed that as well. Great portions, pretty fair prices. Finally, great drinks as well. Very memorable cherry cola that I believe the company is owned by the owner's son. Real cane sugar, very good. The cappuccino was great as well. Definitely come here!

Getting a spot in a class is very hard since they are limited to 6-8 people, but if you get the chance I absolutely recommend it. The classes are 2 hours long each and are extremely intimate. Bryan and Justin will meet you at the door and will introduce you to their workshop. There is a spread of antipasto to snack on which was curated very well. Each person gets to make 4 (four!!) dozen raviolis each. The class is extremely informative and fun.

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!

    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

I also wish they were crunchier. We saw a man order the Stromboli and it was ginormous but looked delicious. He was a big guy and only ate about 25% of it. Got my mom a corned beef sandwich and she said it one of the best she had ever had. We're Irish and she loves them. There are lots of great things on the menu and will be back to try other things.
