| - Despite the very seldom few bad reviews on here about this place & the owner,it is purely a gem, amazing, wonderful, and well worth dining experience. Unfortunately, if the owner was rude to customers in the past, he most likely did not loose very much money because my first time dining here on a gloomy Friday night the place was packed. It is always busy, because the food is to die for and when you have excellent food, people may over look an incident that happened mind you on one of the busiest dining days of the year for most restaurants(being I worked in one since age 16, & put myself thru college at Pitt working in one.)
I went here for my birthday with my boyfriend. Our waitress was good, but the girl who seated us and whom I believe is partial owner was amazing to us. I am a very healthy person, and in order to avoid over eating foods such as creamy heavy pasta, I sometimes ask my boyfriend to share dishes with me. The waitress thought we were being cheap? But we left her over 20% and working in a restaurant I did not really appreciate that , but at this time the salad came it did not even matter. I did have to flag the bus boy to grab our waitress a few times which also bugged me, like she did not intentionally come over because she figured what was the point? Well $25 on an $80 check cash did not seem like a bad deal to me for her, and hoping we do not get her next time as our waitress.
It did not even matter, and I WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK FOR MORE, hopefully with a different waitress, may be the host who seated us and cared to come over and ask us how everything was will next time. The girl who seated us was welcoming, inviting, refreshing, and made us feel very comfortable.
Also there is a section of the restaurant where all the pasta is made FRESH, along with a glass case of Italian deli meats, cheeses, sauces, etc. you could purchase. My boyfriend who is obsessed with Italian foods and culture was like a little kid in a candy shop.
I ordered the Bruco pasta with Sangria for a drink and it was by the far the best pasta dish in Westmoreland county I have ever had, and the best Sangria as well for the wine drinkers.
My boyfriend ordered a red sauce seafood linguini pasta which was also to die for, he claimed it was to die for( did not try due to a shell fish allergy).
We had cheese cake for dessert which was also to die for. This place is doing it the right way, great vibe, beautiful layout formerly an industrial park and converted their space to a restaurant . Purely amazing. Definitely a gem, and definitely for people who have class, and can appreciate true Italian food. If you are a fan of Olive Garden, this place is not for you. Sorry.
Its byob one bottle of wine per table, plus corking fee. People should not complain about the price, good food is well worth paying for, and I am happy to support a local small business blowing all the corporate bs restaurant chains out the water any day.
