The Village Inn by far is the Italian Restaurant in Pittsburgh. I don't care about ambiance, it the food that matters. Many slick place have a huge price and the food is here horrible. The wait staff are deft and friendly. Try the veal Romano its huge and delicious. A salad, soup and their delicious bread accompany your meal. Many restaurants cut that out completely are now considered ala carte. Pasta with a huge amount of porabellas on top is another favorite of mine. Make reservations for the weekends or evenings as it is a very long wait. bona Petit!!!!
