About this restaurant

Charming
Great for fine wines
Good for special occasions

Vallozzi's started over 50 years ago when Helen Vallozzi was selling homemade pastas out of her home. Helen opened a take out restaurant in Latrobe, PA a few years later where her popularity exploded. In 1977, Ernie Vallozzi moved his mothers location to Greensburg where it is still open and operating today. In 2012 Ernie's son Julian expanded the tradition in to downtown Pittsburgh. Vallozzi's Pittsburgh has recently joined a mere 1,200 restaurants worldwide as a recipient of the Wine Spectator Magazine's Best of Award of Excellence and is the only Italian restaurant in Pittsburgh to receive such an honor. We can host your intimate date, family dinner, business meetings, or larger parties in our banquet room. Or come enjoy a specially made cocktail in our bar area and a small bite.

Our dinner at Vallozzi's was excellent! We had some time constraints due to theatre tickets, but our waiter, David, saw to it that we were out the door on time! Our thanks to him. He was attentive in bringing bread and drinks and dinner spot on. our meals were all delicious. My husband's Osso bucco was "one of the best. The rest of us had pasta dishes, which can always be relied up at Vallozzi's to be just right. Thanks for a lovely meal. We will be back.
