Love this little gem in lower Burrell . My aunt swears by this place so she took me and the kids to try it - so happy she did ! As soon as we walked through the door, the owner was cooking in the kitchen and made a point to come out and chat. TRUE ITALIANS here !! I started with a glass of Merlot which was served in an actual glass- just like in the old country . I don't know what there house wine is but it was smooth and absolutely perfect with my meal. We enjoyed the eggplant parm, chicken Romano and the kids pizza. The sauce is absolutely delicious and if you're a true foodie or Italian, you can tell it's not the "out of the can sauce". The dining room was casual with a beautiful vintage hint of Italy in every detail surrounding you. I'm so happy i tried this place and I promise you we will be back soon. Don't wait , make the trip to try this restaurant . read more

Boom! We came here for our Admin Christmas party. The place is old school, but very cozy with a friendly feel. Our server was so fast, efficient, and friendly. She did a great job. Our table got a mix of things, raspberry chicken, Romano, salads, and pastas. My wife had a steak salad, which she really liked. I had Veal Romano, (I would have gone Chicken Romano, but the server recommended the veal. Boy was she right, it was outstanding! The style is similar to my favorite South Hills Italian restaurant, Pasta Too, with a healthy side of pasta with your entree. read more

I've been dining here for years and I always enjoy the food and service. Last evening on a weeknight that was busy but not packed, we were seated, ordered, and got all three courses within five minutes of each other. There was no room left on our two-top because all the plates came almost at the same time. They had run out of butter for the bread, limes for the drinks, and apparently time for us to enjoy each course before it got cold. The food was delicious, but the timing of the service was very rushed (not our server's fault) and how does a restaurant/bar run out of butter and limes? We will of course return, but next time we'll order one course at a time. read more

Food was fantastic, pricing reasonable, casual family atmosphere, great service. If you're looking for Italian with a broad menu of freshly prepared and homemade dishes, this place can't be beat! A notch above Verona Village Inn (which is also great) and on par with Pasta Too as my favorite Pittsburgh area Italian restaurants. My wife copied my order of house Chianti, wedding soup, eggplant parm with spaghetti. Best eggplant parm I've ever had. Also shared side orders of meatballs and sausage. Cannolis for dessert. Our server Kim was enthusiastic and gave great guidance on the menu. Just a fantastic meal from start to finish! read more

This is a great little Italian spot close to Home and they make you feel at home. I was there this evening and I was happy to see so many people there and business going so well! I can see why because the quality has been able to withstand the many years I've been visiting. Highly recommend the raspberry chicken. It's really unique a sweet and savory experience! Also the chicken Francesca is light with an egg batter and delicious lemon sauce. I paired that with gluten free pasta which was also great. As for on the side the complementary warm rolls and flat bread is something I always look forward too. The owner is always so friendly and welcoming. He always seems grateful for your visit which I think is sweet to see! Highly recommended. Also!! Come hungry HUGE portions.. bag for your buck! read more

This is kind of a fail safe place for us. They have some of the best Italian in the area. It is authentic, from the old cou try and is reasonably priced. I personally enjoy their gnocchi and angel hair. Their Alfredo is also better the next day which is a fun fact because you will get multiple meals from your dinner. The ambience is typical Italian resturant. The chairs are ok, but not super comfortable. Service is usually personal and kind.

I got the raspberry chicken and a side of linguine with their pink sauce. Loved every bite of both. Their pink sauce (vodka sauce) is my favorite in the Pittsburgh area. It is to die for. As for the Raspberry Chicken, delish!!!! This was my first time getting it as I usually just a dish of pasta with the pink sauce but I am happy I tried something different! It was stuffed with their chefs own recipe of cheeses and spinach. It tasted so light and delicious. They also had these crispy straws Which went very went will every bite.

This place has been around for a long time, but it rarely comes to mind when going out to eat. We started with the appetizer sampler. We really liked the fried zucchini as the breading was light and crispy. The fried mushrooms were decent. The mozzarella sticks were fine. The onion rings were pretty good as well. I ordered a side salad which was pretty basic, and they offered a basket of garlic bread sticks that the table liked, but I also tried one of their rolls which I really enjoyed. They came out warm and had that crispy outside and soft inside that I really enjoy. My Mom ordered chicken Marsala for her main and they gave her a nice sized portion with a huge amount of chicken. She enjoyed the dish overall. My Wife ordered a meatball sub with fries and she really enjoyed her plate. The bread was toasted nicely and the fries had this coating that was light and tasty. I went with the Special Calzone. It has pepperoni, sausage, ricotta, mushrooms, onions, green peppers, and mozzarella. The outside shell was fantastic. It was similar to the rolls where it had that crispness outside and was slightly chewy inside. The ricotta really stood out to me and I thought it was really tasty. Lastly, the service was exceptional. Our server's name was Kim, and she was really personable and went well out of her way to make the meal as great as possible. We got there just before the restaurant got completely slammed, but Kim managed to juggle an awful lot of folks while making sure we had everything we wanted. I think my family absolutely plans on going back sometime in the near future. read more

If you want to have good wine with your meal do not bother coming here. We came armed with 3 bottles of amazing wine since everything on the web and past comments led us to believe byob was permitted. Well apparently they do not allow that any longer and will not give the option to charge corkage fee. Instead, they offer Sutter Home and one cheap Italian wine that costs 10 bucks in the store. I am sure there are people who are ok with no wine choices, but sadly the visit did not work out for us. read more

Because we wanted to support a small business in the community that we live in. My personal hope was that it would improve somewhere along the way .My family and I have had horrendous service especially the past three times so unfortunately we will not be going back. Maybe only to order takeout. I will tell you about the past two times. My husband and I walked in on a busy Saturday evening with no reservations (silly I know). Everybody that worked in the whole restaurant walked past multiple times without saying a word. I guess everyone else thought that someone else said greeted us or asked how many. No exaggeration, we stood there for 20 minutes before a bus boy even ask how many. He said he just had to clean a table. He sat us down eventually and I could see/hear a server yelling at the young teen demanding to know why he sat her. He came over to get our drink order and I asked if she was mad that he sat us. He kind of mumbled something and I said,"Well,, if she doesn't want our business then we can just leave." My husband left it up to me and we got up and walked out because at this point I already had a bad taste in my mouth .Having been a server for over 10 years myself I was very offended by this treatment. We are very easy to take care of and are good tippers so she missed out on probably $20 right there. Your staff could say Buddy "I'll be with you in a minute." That would even be better than outright ignoring your customers standing there waiting to give you their business... The very last time we went, I made reservations for my family of four at 6:45 on a Friday.We arrived at about 6:40. Again, every worker in the whole restaurant walked past without acknowledging us. After about 10 minutes a bus boy asked how many. I said four and that we had reservations for 6:45. He didn't say anything and walked away. I could see at least two empty and clean tables on both side sides of the restaurant. At 7:05 I asked the same bus boy what was going on. He said they were just waiting to clean a table, and as I previously stated there were already clean tables. A party came in behind us and another bus boy asked right away if that was the rest of our party. I pretty much said no and that our whole party was here waiting already and that it was just the four of us and we had a reservation for 6:45.He said something about this is why I should've asked you myself. He told us(at 7:10) to follow him and took us to one of the empty booths that had been open the whole time we were standing there. He apologized profusely and then got our drinks. The server that we had wasn't very friendly but took our order right away. The bus boy brought our soups and salad, got us refills, took our dirty plates,and got us boxes. I feel as though he should've gotten the tip seeing as how the server only took our order and dropped the check off. Your bus boys are wonderful and keep your restaurant running smoothly.

But we ate in the restaurant and the bottom of the bread was soggy. That didn't make the sandwhich inedible but wasn't ideal. Toppings made for a flavorful bite, not a ton of meat and cheese like you see in a deli but everything together hit the spot. Without the soggy bread, I'd give this place a 6/5. Wish I lived closer!

The portions were very big. We both had salads and I have to recommend the house made balsamic vinaigrette. It's really good! Try Ladles. You won't be disappointed.

This is a no fuss good food restaurant. My waitress was friendly and as attentive as she could be…read morewith it seeming like she was the only one in the upstairs area. The garlic cheese bread was on the special menu but I hope that's just for show because i need that all the time. It was just so good and the marinara was sweet like I like it. The fettuccine was pretty good tasted fresh but I wish it had more flavor, The chicken was definitely bland the sauce it self wasn't too bad. I enjoyed my wedding soup, not the best I've ever had but pretty good as well. I'd come back for an easy weekday dinner if I didn't feel like cooking. They can get busy though so call ahead.

I wish the girl would have paid attention a tiny bit more I asked if the Pot Roast was open face. She said it could be. I forgot to ask again. But I was also thinking it was just pot roast and mashed potatoes with gravy The fish is SHAREABLE!!! French Onion soup was fantastic! I enjoy chicken broth based. Devonshire could have used more cheese sauce it was a bit dry I will be back
