    Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Both my husband and I selected this restaurant for the last night of our stay in the Pittsburgh area, and we left thinking we had chosen well. Highly recommend.

    All the food was amazing. The pasta with the tomato basil sauce was fantastic. We loved all the appetizers, the meatball, the zucchini and the crab balls were out of this world.

    The food was delicious but the appetizer came out and was not hot. While they appeared to have plenty of staff, our waitress had to go behind the bar for our second glass of wine. The bartender should have been able to fill our glasses in a timely manner. This is definitely a special occasion kind of place as the prices have gone up significantly since our last visit.
