| - I know, it just looks like a pizza joint from the outside, and their pizzas and hoagies are first-rate. But the real treasure is the quaint little Italian restaurant in back. When I want a good, home-cooked Italian dinner, there is no where else to go. Their menu has a nice variety from the basic spaghetti and meatballs (the meatballs are wonderful) to my favorite, Veal Romano. Fork tender breaded veal medallions in their signature marinara sauce, covered with eggplant with just the right amount of parmigiana cheese. Throw in a house salad, a bowl of wedding soup and the always present Mancini's bread and butter and I'm in heaven! The stuffed banana peppers or provolone saltimboco are also delicious appetizers. You have got to try the Steak Diavolo or the Fettuccine Carbonara (fair warning, the order is enough for two meals!)
Those of you who have lived in the North Hills for the last 30 years probably already know of this gem, but for those that don't, please give DiPietro's a try. The service is great, no rush. It's a great place to have a bottle of red wine, great food, and reeeeeelax.
