Stumbled on this place while walking around Downtown. Parking is a challenge but there is plenty of parking garages around. Noticed that the bar was empty so decided to sit there. Tuesday's as I learned is Lasagna day so I had to try it. I'm always a lover of meat.... The Meatballs were amazingly good. The right amount of spice and the tomato sauce had good flavor. I'm taking with the bartenders, learned that someone from Hawaii just moved here. Who would have thought someone would move from Hawaii to Pittsburgh? They have a great selection of wines and all the pasta is hand made. Definitely a place to check out if in the City read more

I stayed at a hotel walking distance from Talia. I walked by a few times during my trip so I felt like I should give it a try. I dined in on a Friday evening about an hour before closing. The bartender greeted us right away and went to get the host so that we can be seated. Our waiter Rodrigo was very nice and knowledgeable of the menu items. I went with his recommendation (rigatoni) and I'm glad I did! Everything is made to order so moderations are easy. I do not eat pork so instead of sausage in the rigatoni I had chicken. Super delicious and flavorful. I also highly recommend the focaccia and burrata so good! I also had a salad. Overall the food was pretty good and satisfying. The service was excellent with friendly waiters/staff. Definitely give this place a try if you're in the area. read more

Service was terrible. Hard to believe this place receives anything above 3 stars. Our party of two was ignored practically our entire dining period. We had a reservation at 7:15 pm and were promptly seated, and everything from a service and attention perspective went downhill from there. Failure on every front - from our server, to the general manager, to the timeliness of the bar service. I will say, the food was outstanding. However, the abject lack of finely attention and basic service (15 minutes after being seated and served menus until we were asked to order drinks, and over 15 minutes after we were done waiting for our bill) doesn't even lift this review up by one star. Sad - when you spend over $130 for two before tax and tip, you expect at a minimum basic service. read more

Great spot in downtown for food and drinks. They had a $10 spritz special which you cannot turn down. Their pasta is really good, but I was not a huge fan of the pizza and the cheese they used on it. Overall I do love this spot and one of my favorites in downtown read more

I had avoided this spot for years, thinking it just another Italian restaurant, but I was wrong. Inside it's dark and energetic, but outside in their "wine garden" it was quieter, with excellent people watching and music drifting over from Mellon Square. They have a fairly standard menu with enough options that you'll probably see multiple dishes you want to try. It was warm, so I went with the summery flavors of the seafood risotto and the white negroni, and my hubby chose the 4-cheese ravioli special, which was a modest portion perfect after his late lunch. We want to come back for a bowl of the Italian wedding soup when it's cooler out. Staff were awesome. Just know that the sex-segregated restrooms are inside, down the hallway along the windows. Paid parking across the street in the Mellon Garage. read more

We were looking for a restaurant within walking distance of our hotel. Talia was close and we decided to give it a try. The decor has a modern casual vibe. The staff were very welcoming and attentive. To start we had the focaccia bread with the cauliflower dip. Both were excellent. The focaccia is made from scratch (warm and soft) and I could have made that my meal. My wife ordered the cheese Ravioli - she said it was really good and the flavor of the sauce is what made the dish so special . I had the braised short rib over mashed potatoes with vegetables. The rib was nice and tender. The meat, gravy and potatoes made this a very comforting dish. It was a lot of food so you need a hearty appetite to be able to complete this meal. For desert we had the tiramisu- it was a nice way to end our meal. If you are in downtown Pittsburgh you would not go wrong by eating at Talia's. read more

I went with a friend for dinner. We decided to share everything we ordered because we both hadn't been before. I always like to ask the waiter/waitress what their favorite thing on menu is. We were recommended the rigatoni and porchetta. For apps we got the meats and broccolini. Personally I would skip the broccolini it was kinda cold when it came out and I did not like the goat cheese with it. I would also recommend the rigatoni is was good!! The porchetta on the other hand was recommended and sounded like it was going to be so flavorful from description. It was so bland. The potatoes had 0 flavor. So the porchetta would be a big skip for me! read more

Great pasta omgoodness! The service was excellent. I would love to try more as they had so many appealing options but I got too full too fast. The space was warm and comfortable. I'm sure their wine was also amazing. Alas I was on my way to the airport and ran out of time! read more

Stopped back here a few times recently and have had great experiences. They have definitely made some changes over the years and the menu and food is really good now. Most recently I had the meatballs and calamari appetizers. I had then pappardelle as my main meal. Everything was delicious. So much flavor in the pasta especially. This is also a really good spot for if you have a big group. We have had office get together, lunches, and dinners in their different rooms. They have always been very accommodating and provided great service. read more

Stayed in the area and came here a few times. I sat at the bar both times and service was nice and friendly. The place is easily accessible from many hotels in the downtown area. The decor is artsy and fun. I did take out and the items were as expected and tasted great. I saw lots of food orders at the bar that looked great. read more

The food was amazing, and I loved the big portion size. If I were to point anything out, it would be the waiter.. wasn't really a fan of his service/attitude, but it was a busy night. However, if I'm paying that much, I should at least get some good service. Would highly highly recommend for the focaccia bread (with the chili oil) and pasta, just be prepared for a subpar service. read more

I have been to Talia a number of times, probably once every couple months and mostly for lunch. First, here are the pros - the food is usually pretty solid and good quality, staff is *usually* pleasant, and it's a cozy space. That said, my recent experience was not great. We were a group of 6 and went for happy hour to get a drink or two plus apps. The place was empty because dinner service starts at 5pm. With that as the backdrop, everything and I mean everything we asked for, the answer was no delivered in a pretty snarky manner by the server (female). The bartender (male) was nice enough but for whatever reason he deferred to her. Can we sit outside? No it's for dinner clientele. Can we order a bunch of apps and have them placed on the table in the standing area by the bar so we can share? No we don't really do that. And then inexplicably we were allowed to have the food as we asked. It was 4pm and the restaurant only opens for dinner at 5pm. Again, we were the ONLY ones there for the duration of our time. There were more instances but this review is already too long. I'm not sure what was the obstacle but it was crazy bad service. I don't expect the red carpet but it's not too much to have some professional courtesy. read more

SO happy that we stopped here. We dropped in to three restaurants to have appetizers, and drinks.. this was our last stop. Needless to say we ended up ordering entrees because everything looked so good. The wine selection was amazing, food and drinks were affordable for downtown. We sat at the bar and service was excellent. For a weeknight, reservations were still required.. so a heads up on that. Location is lovely, I loved the corner building with glass windows.. prime people watching. Will Return! read more

Really nice Italian restaurant in Downtown Pittsburgh. The staff was super friendly and when we arrived without a reservation, they put us at the Chef's counter where we were able to watch dishes being served by their talented cooking crew. I had the lasagna dinner, their weekly Tuesday night special while my wife had the seafood fettuccine dish. We both enjoyed our dinners, a nice bottle of Sicilian wine and our really personable servers. It fit the bill perfectly for our dinner plans on a special night to start our trip to the mid Atlantic states. read more

Another delicious Italian restaurant! I love when a place is delicious from the first bite. Chic, cozy interior on a busy night. We started with meatballs, focaccia, and burrata. The focaccia was airy and had a nice touch of rosemary. Meatballs were excellent, and the sauce was fantastic. I love when you can taste certain flavors, and both were packed with goodness. Meatballs had a nice sausage flavor to them. My chicken had a Calabrian chili sauce, and it was the exact right amount of heat. Cooked to perfection, as the whole chicken was so tender. The cornbread mash the so delicious. It soaked up the sauce and offered a nice sweetness to the meal. This dish was fantastic!! My wife loved her pasta, and the few bites I had definitely didn't disappoint. We will be back! read more

We made reservations for a Friday night and were seated right away, while most tables were filled when we arrived. The server came over immediately and continued to check on us through out the meal. You have to start with the focaccia; it's amazing! We got it with the oil and balsamic dipping oils. For the main course, I had the rigatoni, which was served piping hot. I enjoyed the vodka sauce, but it had a bit of spiciness to it. We were celebrating my birthday, and they surprised us with a complimentary tiramisu (with a cannoli on top). This was my favorite part of the meal... it was so good! read more

Came here with a group of friends & had a really nice time. Very cute inside, good wine, and good service. I didn't love the gnocchi dish I ordered, but it was something different and was good just I've had more impressive pasta in Pittsburgh. However, the cauliflower dip with the focaccia??? Incredible. Focaccia is light and the pieces are big but the basket only comes with 4 so we ended up getting a second basket. Cauliflower dip was so delicious and I would come back just for that! read more

Great food and a friendly staff. Would recommend the lasagna of they have any, goes quick.

Ordered carry-out before a long drive home. Friendly server. Unfortunately, I had asked for olives (black & green) on top of my chopped salad. No problem. And... they weren't there. Instead, there was a bunch of lettuce, some peas, a few halved cherry tomatoes, a few slices of zucchini, and not much more. It was a pretty pricey and paltry bowl for the road... read more

I hope it was just an off day. The bread was ok, the sweet potato gnocchi was ok, the Casarecce was delicious but there was a lot of fat on the beef and my mom had to throw half of it to the side. So kind of disappointing. Our server Danny was nice and funny. And just for a heads up, It is loud in there so not good for a quiet date night. read more

Excellent atmosphere, bar, dining, food and service. The bartenders are very engaging. The bar was lively and friendly. Loved the menu but wanted something lighter. I ordered a bowl of the mushroom soup and traditional focaccia. Well, it wasn't light but it was very good. The soup was very rich and filling. The bread was excellent and a huge portion for a single $4 order. I would recommend you stop here if you're looking for dinner or just a drink. Good spot for business dinner. read more

Talia - Dinner at the bar - Italian Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Talia has such a spot in my heart. I have so many good memories starting from when I only ever went for after-work drinks. I think I went to Talia at least once a week for six months straight without ever having food haha (I was totally missing out). They are located right across the street from Hotel Monaco downtown. Parking is easy in the Mellon Square Garage right across 6th Street. They have amazing cocktails but my all time favorite is their prosecco on tap - I think about it all of the time lol. My partner loves their White Negroni and a friend has commented that they make the best Old Fashioned of all time. The food is simply amazing. It's always consistent and always so good. I've had dishes from soup and salad, to lunch sandwiches, to pasta and more. Just last night, I tried the crab cakes for the first time and they were some of the best I've had in the city. I'll ALWAYS recommend their house baked focaccia with the burrata. The bread is so light, airy and flavorful. Burrata is, well, it's burrata, how could it ever be bad?! The ricotta gnocchi is pillowy soft and fluffy. Their pizzas are also amazing, especially the duck. The wait staff, bartending staff and management are always so friendly and accomodating. In fact, we love Talia so much that my partner and I are having our wedding dinner there in 2024. We went for dinner last night because it was one year out from the wedding and the GM must've noticed my name on the reservation list and brought us over Prosecco! So sweet and I can't even believe she recognized my name on the list - especially since the wedding isn't for another year! Love love love Talia!! read more

The food was delicious! The drinks were great! The service was a little...meh. I don't know if they were just really busy, but it was very hard to get their attention (at the bar) throughout our meal. I really enjoyed my bro-groni - bourbon, meletti, and Campari. It was a bit tart, a bit sweet, and very refreshing. We had the house made focaccia and burrata, which was just fantastic. My salad - bacon, beets, and goat cheese - was adequate but not terribly exciting. I kind of wish that I had gotten the wedge. It looked pretty awesome. For my main, I got the pappardelle with veal cheek ragu. The tomato sauce was really fresh and the pasta had the perfect bite/chew. So good. My friend didn't love her main course, and they very kindly took it off our bill. read more

Out of our several day trip to Pittsburgh, this was the best place we dined at. Service as top notch. Recommended wine was unknown to us but was exactly what my wife was lookin for. The tagliatelle was the best I've ever had. It had more pork than any other preparation I've tasted. The fettuccine and gnocchi were hits too. read more

Great dinner with friends. Our server Sindujha was awesome providing exemplary service, very pleasant and helpful with choices for food and drink. Great vibe, cool atmosphere and superior Italian food and wine. Love the location in the city providing a great vibe with a perfect location to many other things to do before and or after dinner. Simple suggestion would be to find a way to provide more heat in the restaurant itself. Although extremely cold outside for the time of year, it was simply cold. Great choice, look forward to going back and thanks to our server Sindujha for a terrific evening with friends. read more

Talia has easily become one of my favorite places in the city. From the first visit & every one since then, I've been treated so special. I appreciate the service just as much as the great food.

See you soon! read more

Fantastic food. Best four cheese ravioli I've ever had. Came with a creamy lemon garlic sauce that was done perfectly. Focaccia and meatballs for appetizers.

3 Stars based on overall guest experience. Zero (none) for the Hostess on Tuesday (3/22/22) and she can seriously drop the attitude. We interacted with her a few times as our team arrived at different times. Unprofessional, rude, and uninviting. Maybe it was just not a good day. Overall, the server was good and food was delicious. That and the conversation amongst friends saved the evening. We stopped in here for dinner on a Tuesday night. There were 10 of us by the end of the meal and 3 sat at the bar with the rest of us at two tables. It was a convenient location close to the Omni where we were staying. Two people in our party whose flights were delayed arrived late and we had to rearrange the seating but the way the hostess addressed our friend and her general attitude was grotesque and her passive aggressive comments toward reservations and accommodating our group was unsettling. As mentioned the server was good and was working hard with the dinning room. A little slow and missed out on an opportunity for higher beverage sales. It took forever to get drinks and that wine should have started flowing when we sat down. That aside, now that I have vented, on to the food. For the table apps we had the House Baked Focaccia which was absolutely amazing. For dipping we did the Traditional Oil and Balsamic ($3), the Burrata garlic oil & sea Salt ($5). We also had the Roasted Red Pepper Fonduta garlic oil & seas salt ($7) which was great, and my favorite the Honey Herb Butter ($5). I had the Gnocchi for my dish. It was perfect with short rib, onions, mushrooms, sage and a horseradish aioli ($24). Food was good and was not disappointing as the rest of the experience. I personally will not return, but if you are in the area check it out, if nothing else for the food. read more

We came here on a whim and I have to be honest I was surprised. I had heard something's about it in passing and wasn't sure how the meal would go. I have to tell you the burrata was the perfect way to start the meal with the home made focaccia bread. If you don't get that you are missing out! The duck pizza I would also 100% get again the flavors were amazing! The only thing i was not a fan of on the menu was the pasta, the sauce wasn't as good as what I would have expected for homemade. read more
