| - Una sera in DeLallo's
DeLallo's is a classy, homestyle Italian restaurant with white shirted, black bottom waiters and a roomy interior. An evening at this fine restaurant begins by entering the doors and you will see the hostess to the left and see a wide expanse of restaurant. You go to the right and you enter the bar. You go straight down the bar, hang a right and that's where we sat on Saturday with quite a few other tables. My dad and I were in Pittsburgh for the weekend, and my uncle made us reservations for DeLallo's. I was excited to visit after reading the menu in the car ride up.
Th evening continues with your water glass being promply filled and will remain filled throughout your meal. The waitress comes to take orders, and the evenly paced meal begins with the ordering of our appetizers and meals. The menu is varied, but thorough and I had the impression that they would do a good job with anything you order.
We ordered the stuffed mushrooms and the greens and beans for appetizers. The mushrooms were cooked well and stuffed with crab meat and sat in a light lemon butter sauce. The beans in the greens and beans were perfectly cooked and were dressed in a garlic slightly buttery sauce that is also good for dipping bread in. The bread came slightly after and it was fine. It was soft and thick, but it was like a thick sandwich bread (I wasn't too impressed with that).
I ordered their ravioli for my entree and I could choose a salad or soup to go with it. I choose the Italian Wedding Soup and it was quite tasty. The pasta and vegetables were cooked well and sat in a flavorful broth with tiny meatballs. I possibly could have had a big bowl of soup as my meal! It was delicious. I ordered the cheese ravioli with meat sauce. The ravioli were cooked well, the cheese had a good texture and the meat sauce had a good flavor of spices; extra red pepper never hurt anyone though! Overall, a delightful way to spend a Saturday night.
The Evening Breakdown,
The Food: Very good. I felt a lot of care went into the food and the soup was really good. Honestly, everything was really good.
The Experience: Very good. The waitstaff was attentive, the atmosphere was nice, the bathrooms were clean.
The Value: Well, my ravioli was $13 if I recall, the appetizers vary in price depending on what you get. For the classy type of restaurant DeLallo's wants to be, I think the prices are fair and just.
Would I return?: If I was in Pittsburgh and my uncle wanted to go again then sure!
5 stars?: I can't think of any reason to give them 4 stars. DeLallo's does a good job and if you are thinking about giving them a try after a visit to South Hills Village, I think you'd be glad you did. Grazie!
