My Favorite Italian Restaurant in Pittsburgh — Worth the Drive Every Time!
This is by far — and always has been — my favorite Italian restaurant in the city. Ron, the owner, goes above and beyond for his customers and is truly one of the hardest-working people in the business. His food is the most authentic Italian you’ll find anywhere — every dish feels like it came straight from Italy.
We were in the other day and Emily was our server — she was fantastic. The service is always friendly, attentive, and makes the entire dining experience even better.
In the spring and summer, the outdoor patio is absolutely beautiful — the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal. In the winter, the cozy wine bar in the back, complete with a fireplace, makes for such a romantic and inviting atmosphere.
I live all the way out in Murrysville, but I gladly make the 45-minute drive just to eat here. Thank you, Ron, for always going above and beyond for your customers — your hard work shows in every bite.

Always fire. I wanted to come here more to collect vibe / product pics before review but I’m done waiting to post this. The whole setting is A1. I head to the bar in the back and enjoy the fire place, tentative service, and overwhelming quality. The dishes are always fast and plated beautifully; and if I gotta wait a few extra min or need to speak to the service about a potential issue, they are with their quality assurance (not that I’ve needed it ;)) everyone knows about this place but it certainly is a honey hole I keep close to my heart

We ordered pizza and a calzone for takeout and paid $57. When we arrived, we paid and waited for the order. After waiting much longer than expected, I asked if it was ready. The workers asked the kitchen where the order was, and it turned out it had been just sitting there the whole time.
The workers were laughing and handed the food with no apology at all.
Also, the quality was very disappointing. I attached photos so you can see for yourself. We ordered a prosciutto pizza. What we expected versus what we actually received are two very different things. The pizza we got looked poorly made and nothing like how it should look or how it’s advertised.
For the price, I expected much better service and food quality. Unfortunately, this experience was very unprofessional, and I won’t be coming back.

First I had the chicken parm and omg it was so good. The chicken is super delicious , I couldn’t stop thinking about the food, so then I came back 3 days later to try another pasta. Just wow ! New favorite place, I can’t stop thinking about it!

May provided great customer service. She helped us whenever we had questions regarding wine selection. She went out of the way to provide service with a smile. Overall, she made the experience feel like we were at home. The dining experience broke the scale! 1000/10.

The good: the food. The pasta dishes are authentic and were delicious and prepared well. The portions are generous. The pizza is also terrific if you love wood fired oven baked Neapolitan style. I would opt for a pasta dish next time.
The not so great: wait staff was average. The restaurant is very loud and scanty decorated.
So if you’re in for great food, this is a great place to eat!

4.5 Stars would be my rating if I could! Food, service, atmosphere were excellent. Place was surprisingly big. We sat inside (would love to sit at wine bar or patio sometime). We had 2 bottles of red wine, the cheese arancini appetizer, and 5 entrees. One person got pizza and the rest pasta. It was so good I cleaned my plate! Only complaint was the pasta for the chicken parm was *very* Al dente. They also give you bread and dipping oil which is a nice touch! Would definitely go back! Pictures- pasta fierno, can’t remember type of pizza, 2 people had lasagna, and chicken parm.

First, the PROS
the service was incredible! Our server Bryce was fantastic and so incredibly patient with us.Rebecca the host was also super helpful and considerate. They both made sure everything was taken care and that our first time there was memorable.
I had the La Mela salad so so good! Fresh and tasty.
For dessert we had the Tiramisu! Oh my goodness one of the best I have had and I have had several.
They gave us a sample of the house made Limoncello!! it was really nice!
Cons:
I had some issues with my meatballs for the appetizer and my meatballs in my wedding soup being somewhat undercooked. I presented concerns to Rebecca the host and she immediately took care of it and made sure that we didn’t have to pay for either of these. Bryce took time out his very busy night to make sure I found something that I would love to eat!
Another downside was it was very noisy in the restaurant. The way the space is set up made the for an echoing effect that made it very difficult to hear my friend speaking to me across the table.
The food overall was good with the exception of the somewhat undercooked meatballs.

We thought this was just a random small pizza joint but boy were we wrong! We found them because we wanted brick oven pizza but were so surprised to see how big this place was! It was luckily a warm day so we ate outside in the most romantic corner. We ordered the pizza bread to start and then got the NY pizza. I also had a Bellini and I can’t remember the name of it but the lemon dessert is phenomenal. Everything was so delicious and the staff are super friendly and helpful as well. I definitely want to go back and check out the one bar and eat outside again!

You should go here
We had drinks and supper and really enjoyed it. We enjoyed a Barbara and Negroni to start and chose the octopus as our appetizer. The octopus was good, but a little tough. We chose a Margarita pizza as our main dish, and it was excellent. The wood fired oven makes all the difference. We were full at this point so I have to report about dessert next time.
