Why the $$? I would put this as a very reasonably priced place. I grew up across the river and remain friends with two of my classmates from way too many years later. They were getting together for lunch and when I saw the menu, I made the 186 miles one way trip. I ordered the chicken parm sandwich at the recommendation of the waitress. Husband got grilled hot sausage. One friend got spaghetti and meatball, the other friend stuffed shells. Husband and I shared our sandwiches with each other. Yum. And I was salivating over my friends' choices. We were reminiscing and enjoying ourselves and time got away. It was after 2 and they close at 2 and open up again later for dinner. But they gave no indication that we should leave and we felt bad when we saw it was 2:17. This is a wonderful find. Huge portions and worth every penny. My friends had spumoni for dessert and ice cream aficionados that they are declared it the "good stuff". Husband and I split a cannoli. I will gladly drive into the Burgh for another meal here. You lucky Pittsburghers. If I lived here, I will be here on a regular basis.
