We visited after the restaurant reopened under new ownership. I enjoyed my caesar salad and gnocchi. My husband ordered the Margherita pizza and it came with powdered cheese all over instead of the traditional style. The menu didn't indicate this. Also when we visited there were no vegetable sides which seemed odd. read more

Excellent service! Red sauce was awesome-chicken parm comes with penne - by my own fault being used to Woodys in Versailles where they serve chicken parmigiana with spaghetti I didn't read the menu. penne is a bit heavy for me-they were very kind and brought me regular spaghetti. Chicken Romano comes with spaghetti rather than potatoes. Our soups were excellent both the wedding and French onion. read more

Wife and I last minute couldn't find reservations on Valentines Eve and Woody's took us in like an orphan child, so for that we thank you for allowing us to have a somewhat romantic evening. I want to shout out to the waiting staff for managing an event and somehow managed to fit us in. Given Covid restrictions you did the best you could. Appetizers on a romantic dinner date is a must, and we went with the very publicly advertised cheese wheel which was a solid eat. Cheese is naturally meant to be chewy, and I didn't mind working for it, but you go into it knowing it's a GIANT CHEESE STICK! 7.1/10 The bread isn't horrible, but it is banquet bread which means it's warm, and it fulfills the standard for bread, but I felt like I was eating empty calories. 6/10 The chicken Ramano we had was slightly underwhelming because I was really expecting more texture in the fried chicken and a more creamy savory flavor; provided in what was in the description of the menu. Banquets often don't appreciate angel hair past; but it should be an absolute requirement when preparing a Ramano dish. The penni pasta discredited the efforts of the chicken and given the sauce wasn't packing a lot of flavor and missed the mark...TWICE . 6.5/10 The white peach sangria was a game changer, and I often do not drink but it was Valentines Day! My wife and I had over $30 in drinks and it was because they were absolutely amazing! My favorite event of the evening; and it elevated the entire experience! 8.2/10 All in all I would love to go again, and although the menu item we ate didn't stack up against Olives and Peppers, certainly had its winning moments! I really hope to come back soon! read more

Still great! Enjoyed a perfect Friday on the patio. Joey was our most gracious wait staff person. Hailey called to confirm our table and then let us pick a great table. Social distancing measures in place. Great happy hour pricing, and my husband and son enjoyed their meatball and zucchini parm dinners. Generous portions, more than enough for 3 and we took leftovers home. read more

Love this place! My sister lives right next to it and we've gotten it a few times. They have great pasta and appetizers. I had the eggplant Parmesan with the vodka sauce which was amazing. We also had the mozzarella wheel and spinach and artichoke dip which were also amazing!! read more

Let me just say we just had a baby shower for my son and his gf today. The atmosphere was AMAZING. Our servers were Brenden and Tony, and we couldn't have asked for better service. Our bartender ( sorry I didn't catch her name) went above and beyond. Our food was yummy and honestly I would give 5 stars except for one thing. It's been bothering me all day!! When I paid the owner this morning and he gave me my receipt , I asked about the 20% gratuity. Let me say before I go any further I have no problem paying it. But when I asked if the gratuity covered the servers, he responded that " he" ( one server was training) would get $35. I paid $ 196.92 in gratuity alone and you give the server only $35.00. I'm sorry but that doesn't sit well with me. I would not mind paying more for the food if you were taking better care of the servers. Maybe this is something you can change in the future. PS a I tipped the servers separately as I thought it was unfair to only get $35.00. read more

I've been a frequent patron of the cozy original Woody's restaurant in McKeesport since I moved to the area. When the Woody's Piazza Ristorante at the Antonelli Event Center opened, I was excited to try it out. I've had the pleasure of attending some gorgeously planned weddings as a guest, but the restaurant and bar offers a more elevated menu than the original. There are some hints of the familiar menu, but with posh changes that distinctly provides the two restaurants with separate identities. Woody's Piazza brought in Executive Chef Kirk Kolish who brings with him bold flavors and experience. The bar offers live entertainment with a DJ and Karaoke. It's starting to offer more drink and appetizer specials as well as some very fun game nights. With the addition of the new and innovative Beverage and Entertainment Director, Joe Prizner, there's a real personal touch. His passion for his job certainly shines through. I recommend the Entree Salad with Honey Balsalmic dressing, Sauteed Sea Scallops, and Horseradish Crusted Beef Short Rib appetizers. For vegetarians, the dinner menu has an amazing Roasted Portabella Stack. You can't go wrong with their pizza and add your own toppings. Any of their fish dinners are delicious and cooked perfectly. Woody's signature stuffed banana peppers are just as yummy here. By the time you get to dessert, you'll be full but ready to order the Chocolate Truffle Cake or Bananas Foster Bread Pudding. The staff is friendly, servers and bartenders are attentive, and the overall dining experience has a laid back feel without the stuffiness of the high end restaurants. I'll definitely return often to see what new events are available! read more

We went for a Sunday lunch, looking for a place we haven't tried before. Upon entering, we were greeted by the hostess who led us upstairs to a table. There was a private party occurring in one section of the dining room, and it was quite loud. Hard to converse at the table, and there were only a handful of people there besides the party group. Perhaps private groups such as that could be hosted in a different area, with something more than just a curtain as a divider. I ordered the Mediterranean pasta, which came with a cup of wedding soup. The soup was good, and the pasta itself was quite tasty. However, the chicken breast that came with the pasta was way overdone and dry. Our server was attentive and pleasant, and service overall was quick. All in all, an okay experience. read more

me and my wife Kellie ate their first time Ever !! Sunday 7/12/202 We were there about 6pm great experience from entering the Door the staff and pizza and provolone wheel !!! Great thank you for the great service !!!!!! read more

The place was packed, only two seats at the bar, we grabbed them and ordered drinks. Buddy of mine had his usual Rum & Cola, I got Jim Bean honey, lemon twist, double shot for 8 bucks, not bad for a double shot! Eclectic crowd, date night twenty somethings, older couples dressed to the nines, sipping martinis, sharing an appetizer, middle aged married couple, she on her phone, he was enthralled in the Penguin's game on one of six TVs at the bar. Church groups, 3 guys wearing camo, beards and all, and a gay couple rounded out the crowd. Nice Italian menu, pastas, steak, burgers, lasagna, wraps, sandwiches & Pizza. We decided to split a 12 inch white pizza. As I said the place was packed so we waited a good half hour for dinner to come out. Pizza arrived looking like it was a store bought pizza shell, it wasn't, it just looked like it was. A touch too greasy for my tastes. Heavy with butter and olive oil, lots of cheese and chopped tomatoes, didn't taste much garlic as promised by the menu description. Needed lots of parm cheese and red pepper to help soak up the grease. The place got loud once the DJ started playing around 9. We stayed until the end of the Pens game. Entertaining night of people watching out in Irwin. Lots of free parking. I'll come back and try one of the pasta dishes, and to try the artichoke appetizer. The classic Pittsburgh app of fried zucchini is front and center on the menu, done differently here, served with creamy horseradish dip. Not a bad restaurant, about 40 mins from downtown Pittsburgh out RT 30. read more

My new favorite in this area: outstanding menu, service atmosphere and pricing. Would HIGHLY recommend dining here, truly a hidden gem off the beaten path. You won't be disappointed!! read more

Stopped in for Happy Hour on a Thursday with friends. Ordered a few drinks and appetizers off the Happy Hour menu. Appetizers came out quickly and hot. All were excellent and drinks were great as well. We would highly recommend and will dine again in the future. read more

Awesome place! Great atmosphere and fantastic food. The staff was wonderful. I ordered the manicotti special and it was delicious. They were very accommodating for our 2 year old and the kids meal was great. Highly recommended. read more

Another mediocre to OK restaurant in the burbs. Cold soup, not fresh bread, and an underwhelming portion size of raviolis, though they were good. Nice bar set up, but that's about the only reason I would come back. Stick with drinks only here. read more

Wow! Great EVERYTHING! I was worried I might be underdressed based on photos I saw online, and based on the atmosphere. No need to worry. The dress was very casual "come as you are." The staff was AMAZING (and friendly and fun), and the food was perfect. Until I find another, this is my new "go to" for casual fine dining. read more

I had recently ordered fried fish to go. The breading was soggy and falling off of the fish.They put the french fries under the fish in the to go container and they were soggy. And last but not least they forgot the cole slaw. What a disappointment. read more

Food was good, waitress was very nice. The meal took almost 90min to get. When we questioned why to the manager on duty she would not acknowledge nor come back to the table when we inquired again with the waitress. We watched three couples come in and out with similar meals while we waited. read more

Went to Woody's for dinner Wednesday evening for our girls night out. It was fantastic. I ordered the portobello stack. It had some pretty interested flavors and was very good. Everyone loved their food. My portion size was normal in that i was able to eat it all there.The other 6 people at our table had huge portions. They only ate half and took the other half home. The bread is very unique as is the sun dried tomato butter. Very tasty! The atmosphere is nice. The event center area looks beautiful. Our waitress was very attentive. I recommend this place. read more

Was disappointed when I had dinner here. Looks like a big warehouse with no windows so it's hard to talk because of the size. Live music sounded nice but was too loud. Service was not that great and neither was the food. Really no reason to recommend this place. read more

Amazing bar, amazing happy hour, out of this world filet! The staff was great! Will definitely be a regular!

Terrible service.. YOU can do much better in the area.. MY husband and i where there just this evening.. there were not many people there.. our server could not remember much of our order.. forgot refills on beer. forgot to bring bread until we reminded her.. and the baked sweet potatoe that came withour meal came out rock solid hard.. there was no comesation offered us for the messup with the meal.. only to take it away for 20 minutes and bring it back.. my Husband was livid.. DO NOT BOTHER Try Atrias you may pay a bit ore.. but you will actually have a server who pays attention to detail and you wont be left waiting and waiting and waiting.. complete.. miss.. low class.. read more

We started going here a,few months ago and felt like we had fined a real gem. Excellent food, large portions (always took home leftovers), good service, nice atmosphere. We were totally disappointed with our dinner experience there last evening. My boyfriend ordered lasagna, half the portion we were use to, the edge was so dry and burnt he could not even cut it with a knife! My dinner came with a ceaser salad with no croutons (?) And my chicken breast dinner that was suppose to have 2 chicken breasts came with 2 pounded thin 2x2 inch pieces of chicken! We were shocked to say the least. Would have liked to mention this to our bartender who was busy and never stopped to check on us but walked past us a few time saying " everything ok?# She never noticed, she never gave us silverware, or the salad came without croutons, or she forgot forgot to offer us bread. Doubt we will go back, they just changed their menu and now are closed Mon/Tues. Such a shame because the food and service was excellent. read more

The food was very good but took way too long to receive it. We had the provolone wheel and fried zucchini as appetizers both were very good and then had two pizzas along with chicken fingers and fries - all of which very good but on a night that it wasn't crowded the entire meal too over 90 minutes. Atmosphere was nice and we will eat there again. read more
