This was not the dining experience my family and I were expecting. The restaurant looks like a grandmother's house with all of the furniture removed, there doesn't appear to be any other renovations to make it feel more like a restaurant. There is a lingering smell of old cigarette smoke, and the lighting in there is harsh, so you may want to look elsewhere if you are looking for a nice Italian or homey aesthetic. Expect to wait! The service was very slow, we spent about 2 hours there for a family of 6. They seem to be short on staff, but the waiters friendly enough. The food was average to below average. The pastas had too much sauce, and my grandfather said his meatballs tasted odd. Everyone else seemed okay with their food. Overall, if you are looking for good Italian, there are a multitude of better options in Pittsburgh.
