| - If compared to restaurants in Downtown, the Strip, and up-and-coming Lawrenceville, it wouldn't fare well.
But this family friendly comfortable staple of the South Hills has been here for a long time, and has a decent following. It's busy most of the time, and driving by on a weekend night, the parking lot is usually packed.
We usually opt for take-out service, and our order is usually spot on. Consistent, Reliable service.
The food ranges from somewhat flat and boring to generally pretty decent. The chicken parm is good, and the kids seem to like the ravioli and meatballs.
The Pizza is better than average, but there's so much nearby competition now: Harry's, Fiori's, Anthony's Coal Fired, and so on.
The prices are very reasonable, and the number of families that fill the place testify to the affordability.
The bar on the other side of the building has good separation, and is definitely both dimly lit and maybe even somewhat divey.
While I'm usually a drink-with-dinner-only type of guy, there's many more upscale places to go if you want to impress someone, want a more modern atmosphere, and generally want to overpay for drinks.
If you're looking for a decent place to relax, and grab a few beers in a low-key environment, then I could suggest it.
My out-of-town Brother-in-law and I snuck in here once during an avoid-kid-responsibilities outing when the wives had the reins, threw down a couple, ordered some basic bar food, and had a good time.
I'd rate this 3.5 stars if I could but can't in good faith give it a four.
With this being said, I WOULD recommend it, and you might be surprised to find that you can have a tasty, inexpensive meal, in a staple mom and pop in the area.
