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.

Their eggplant parm is some of the best I've ever had! Their service is always fast and their prices are so reasonable!

Have you ever wanted to step into the Godfather movie or Good Fellas? Wondering what it would be like to be treated like a part of a huge community and enjoy service like you were one of the family? This is the place. While we could dine on the raspberry chicken every time we visit, we had to explore the menu further. Nothing disappoints and is always generous. The ambiance is so lovely, the service is always with a smile and open heart. So please, watch your favorite mob movie, put on a nice outfit for fun, and follow it up with romantic dinner here. You will not be disappointed.

This is such a homey, family owed restaurant. The staff is very kind. I've had multiple dishes from here and have enjoyed all of them. I have also gotten takeout and the pasta was perfect. This is good Italian meal at reasonable prices. Highly recommend.

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!

Sometimes I write these reviews for myself so I remember. It might help others too. Note to self - next time order anything that has their cheese filling. Manicotti, stuffed shells, ravioli, etc. Their cheese filling is incredible! Also, I liked their ranch dressing over the blue cheese and house Italian. This place is good!

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!

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. The owners are typically who is there to greet you when you come in.

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.
