    We had a wonderful evening celebrating our 36th anniversary at Alla Familglia. We were seated in a lovely dining room with only 3 tables, which was just perfect. Our server, Gabby was so personable and knowledgable about the food and wine. The generous servings of Casa salad and Cavatappi pasta were great accompaniments to our dinners. The veal chop and the Filet Mignon Tartufo were just incredible. High quality meats prepared to perfect temperatures. We enjoyed after dinner drinks at the beautiful bar to end the evening. Thank you!

    Great restaurant, great ambience, great service and fantastic food! Portions were large and almost felt bad not being able to finish. But that's the great thing about "to-go" boxes, isn't it? Definitely recommend!

    OH MY GOD!!! This was the best food my fiance and I have ever had in Pittsburgh! The portions were enormous and we're ecstatic to eat the leftovers. Our server, Gabby, was absolutely incredible as well!!! She was so attentive and fun to talk with. Everyone who we interacted with were so amazing too. We had the best anniversary dinner and can't wait to come back! We'll just have to make sure not to eat anything all day beforehand. 😂

    My wife had been asking to go here for several months and had heard great things. The food was good, I wouldn’t say great. The service was good and the wine list was expensive. Not sure we will be back but a good experience.

    Decided to come here to celebrate. Never have been here before, but saw online that it had amazing reviews, so we decided to give it a try. We saw the food was very expensive, but for that price, it should be worth it, right? Not necessarily the case... Our bread came out stale and cold. Re-ordered "fresh" bread, and it seemed like the bread tasted the same, but was just warmed. To this, the server responded, "Fresh bread gets stale almost immediately" We upgraded to a caesar salad, and I have to say it was one of the worst caesar salad's I've had. It had little to no taste, and it seemed like the entire salad had been in the fridge because it was way too cold. Due to a dairy allergy, I asked for pesto pasta (meal comes with vodka pasta). My husband's vodka pasta came out cold, and first. I insisted he eat it. I left to go to the bathroom, and when I came back my meal still wasn't there. 5 minutes later I asked the server if I was getting my pasta. She said "they forgot to read the ticket". So I waited, and my pasta came out, but it is only then that I was told they didn't have pesto pasta, just basil garlic pasta. (fine, whatevever.) We get our steaks, but only one steak knife. I start to eat, the steak was good. I assumed the server would be by soon so my husband could eat his. We couldn't get any server's attention for over 10 minutes. At this point, my husband was not happy with his celebratory meal. When our server came back, we relayed to her our displeasure. Chef came out and apologized. We felt awkward, but appreciated the gesture. You could tell he was very sorry for our experience, and tried to make it better. We won't be back. Neighborhood: Not safe at night. From the top floor window, could see some people exhibiting suspicious behavior. Ambiance: The old restaurant looked super cozy inside, but we were sat upstairs, next to a table with very poorly behaved children, tvs on, and windows to the outside were dirty and glared from the streetlight.

    This was our first visit and the place was quite busy unexpectedly for a week night. we had a relatively nice dinner but few things were unexpected. The atmosphere and decor felt genuine enough. The vibe was pleasant old country style. The service was attentive and prompt. The food was average and not imaginative, the portions huge. We ordered 3 apetizers and one entree for two people. We were stuffed after the apetizers and did not touch our entree. The prices are pretty expensive for average italian food. Hidden unexpected charges include a surcharge for credit card use and a "plate" fee which are very unusual for a restaurant that charges 55-90 dollars per entree and serves run of the mill food. we may try it another time but unlikely.

    I booked our Valentines reservation 6 weeks ahead requesting a tab in the bar in which they called to confirm the morning of . However, we were actually seated at the bar instead. Our meals were very good and prepared well. Although the side pasta was pretty bland. The bar tender was very hospitable. I do believe the desserts are overpriced.

    This unique venue specializes in fine Sicilian cuisine, particularity veal. Dishes are creative and flavorful and of large portion sizes. Salad and a pasta selection precede the entree. Nicely curated wine list offers a wide selection of varietals to match individual tastes or dishes. Staff is warm and knowledgeable willing to offer suggestions or recommendations.

    The food and service was great, however we were all extremely disappointed with the cocktails. We frequent many upscale restaurants in the city, who do not and would not serve a drink that is 1/2 to 3/4 full. By way of example, our 6oz cocktail glasses were maybe 4oz including ice. This left a visible gap of 2oz. Our martinis were maybe 1/2 full. This is not acceptable at a fine restaurant who charges top dollar.
