Mediocre food and tacky decor would be the most generous way of describing this place. Convenience to Pitt may be the only thing this place has going for it, and perhaps they're hoping that your average student isn't discerning enough to notice that everything else is lacking.
My chicken parmesan was dry and bland, and it came with a side of heavily salted boiled or steamed vegetables (summer squash and zucchini.) So heavily salted that I'm retching a little thinking about them. The waitress seated us under the air conditioner, and when we asked to move because were so cold, she commented on the fact that we weren't the first party she had to move as a result. Why she couldn't have seated us elsewhere in the mostly empty restaurant is beyond me. This place was a poor welcome to Italian food in Pittsburgh, and I can only hope my next experience is better.
