    We were about ten minutes late due to some storms, but they were very accommodating (we let them know in advance). Once we were seated, the waiter greeted us relatively promptly, read us almost the entire menu, then disappeared for 13 minutes. That is a pretty long time. But here is the weird part: Their entrees come with pasta and salad, except for one pasta entree that only comes with salad. My husband ordered this, and I ordered only the pasta and salad (which they allow since they do not offer any vegetarian entrees) and no main course. About 10 minutes after we had our salads, the waiter brought my pasta. I politely waited for my husband’s meal. Probably five or ten minutes later, the waiter came to ask how I was enjoying my pasta course. I guess he thought I wanted to eat pasta alone, and my husband wanted to eat his entree alone? I told him I was waiting so that we could eat together, and about five minutes later he brought my husband’s entree. Just not the level of service you would expect when entrees cost $50 - $110. Food was decent. The house salad is basically trail mix dressed in sugar and oil with some lettuce and radicchio. It was full of raisins and walnuts and the sweetest salad dressing I have ever had. I found it strangely good, but I have a sweet tooth. And I would have preferred a bright, acidic dressing without sugar. Same thing on the house vodka pasta - the sauce was overly sweet. The pasta was also overcooked. I did like the hot oil they bring to drizzle over the pasta. They bring bread to start - for free - accompanied by “holy oil”, which is hot peppers in oil, and a white bean dip. The holy oil and white bean dip were really good. The bread seemed like it would have been good but was very dry. Decent wine list with lots of by the glass options. I was skeptical because they misspelled Veneto, but my Nebbiolo was good.

    Great meal, great service from Tony and Deja, great time. We took my mother in law for her birthday for her first time at Alla Famiglia and she loved it. Nothing bad to say at all, everything was cooked to perfection and the service was spot on.

    It was our anniversary and the service at Alla Famiglia was terrific. The entire experience was beyond our expectations. I believe this is one of the best restaurants in Western PA. The food the wine the service was amazing.

    We had chicken parmigiana. It was unbelievably moist and tender, with a beautiful crisp around the edges. Generous portion, we both couldn’t finish it and had the leftovers for dinner the next evening - still mist and tender after a light microwaving. Delicious. The house salad was wonderful. Both the cacio e pepe and pasta with vodka sauce were delicious. Service was friendly, attentive, unobtrusive, and quick, anticipating our needs. Quietly elegant. Relaxing and pleasant. Not stuffy. Looking forward to returning with a bigger appetite to try some more adventurous entrees.

    We had heard this was the best Italian restaurant in pgh/western pa. Our expectations going in were high based on what friends family and random folks said. The place/food/service exceeded those expectations. 6 of us went for a family dinner and all 6 of us had a great time and loved everything about it. Highly recommend. Thanks

    One of the very best restaurants in Pittsburgh. Love coming here...Food is usually top notch! The food was excellent and server was extremely nice but she was a bit overwhelmed with responsibility/tables which does happen here sometimes when they have events here and are bit overextended. Service was so slow (3.5 hours) and drinks not followed up on, water or cocktails that we quit ordering drinks and even coffee toward the end since we did not want to wait 1/2 hour to get things at that point...Will still return as this was not usual for them.

    Don't miss out on this gem of an Italian restaurant, which provides a very special dining experience! Such includes some tableside final dish prep., just like occurs in Italy! The food is phenomenal, and portions are truly generous, authentic, Italian, and everyone on the team works together to create a seamless and extremely pleasurable meal experience. Can't wait to return!
