This is a good place to have a meal when visiting your student at Pitt. A welcome break from dining hall food that will make your student happy without breaking the bank. Traditional Italian menu, friendly service, moderate prices.
On a recent visit, my husband accidentally left his credit card at the restaurant, and was halfway across the state before he realized it. I called the restaurant and they were very nice about mailing the credit card back to us.
I would recommend Joe Mama's and plan to return next time we are in the 'burgh.
