This is by far one of my favorite Italian Ristorante's of all time. EVERY TIME I am in Pittsburgh I eat here at least once. This is the kinda place where they remember your name, what you do, etc, etc. It's a real "Pittsburghy" kinda place. I usually sit at the bar and talk to the seasoned bartender Larry who is always up on the latest news and sports gossip and can carry a conversation with anyone who sits down. The owner is almost always posted up by the bar as well, engaging in conversation and making sure things run top notch. The food it excellent and you get a great portion. Many businessmen at the bar and lots of people enjoying a great meal and peaceful atmosphere. Not a place to take kids. All in all if you're looking for some great italian food at a good price with the best service in town - this is the spot.
