Since this was our first visit, we decided on the stuffed pepper and their six piece pizza for the appetizers. While “only” three peppers came to an order, they were very large and we were happy to share them amongst the four of us. The pizza is a think-crust that they call Roman style, and I’ve seen referred to as Sicilian elsewhere. It’s also baked on a rectangular tray and is cut in squares. The six pieces were large! We could have stopped here and been full!
Of course we did not. We tried their Chicken Parmesan and it was one of the best we’ve had in the Southwest Pittsburgh area. The chicken was perfectly cooked and served crispy while the sauce was very flavorful and the cheese was delightfully melted over it. The same went for he Chicken Marsala which featured a wonderfully deeply flavored sauce and many quartered mushrooms which had been marinating in that sauce for a while, so they absorbed the flavors. The Funghi pasta was excellent as well and the mussels were good! Two of the entrees came with a side of Penne in their marinara sauce which is great, but as noted, way too much food. Oh yeah, there was also garlic bread! Definitely we took food home with us!
Nonetheless, we decided to try their Tiramisu and Cannoli. We went this way when the waitress told us they filled the Cannoli to order – a mark of people who know what they’re doing. We were not disappointed and both desserts were excellent!
They do offer beer and wine, but allow you to bring your own with a $5 corkage fee which is very reasonable.
Our waitress was excellent and about the only thing we saw that was not top notch was that all the food we ordered came out of the kitchen at almost the same time: Yep, appetizers and entrees all came trooping out at one time. Well, almost, the pizza – which we ordered as an appetizer – came out about five minutes after the rest of the food. We asked the waitress about this when she swung by and she just shook her head and apologized. It did not matter, we were already digging in to the deliciousness and this protocol infraction was quickly overlooked!
This pizza absolutely surprised me with how good it is! It’s super crispy on the bottom in the best way yet has a very soft chew. The sauce and cheese are on point, but the surprise bonus for me was the fresh basil in the sauce. Such a refreshing addition! When we got half with sausage I expected a few chunks of sausage but they really loaded it up. Worth the extra $3. I can’t say enough good about it. I also got a side salad which was good, but the ranch was excellent.
Can’t wait to go back!
For the prices, the pizza was a bit smaller than we expected, but still plenty of food for three people with one 12 cut pizza (& a little left over).
The pizza was delicious and service was good. For a place with pizza in the name, I expected more specialty pizza options (there were none other than the special, which we got) & a larger list of toppings, but there’s something to be said for doing what you do well.
The women at the next table got pasta and that also looked delicious.
There was no cell phone service for us and the WiFi was locked, so I couldn’t check in there on Yelp or any other app.
There were TV’s on the walls showing the football games. Not all in the best places for viewing at the table we chose, but we didn’t really care about any of the games on at the time.
The parking lot had arrows about going only one way, but no other clear signage, so most cars seemed to not pay attention to the arrows. Not a big deal when it’s pretty empty, but I’d think it could be a bit dangerous if crowded.
We’ll surely go back to try the pasta.
