| - Pittsburgh doesn't have many true local businesses, and I can't believe how many hateful reviews Bellisario's has. Bellisario's is SO CHEAP. Guys, what are we all doing complaining about CHEAP decent food? Is it the second coming? Not at all. But they have good lunch prices and the food is consistent. And the waitresses are super friendly and will recognize your face. Some of them lack a little class, but they're fast, efficient, and friendly.
I consider myself a pro on the menu. I've tried quite a few good things here, and I'm never disappointed. Off the top of my head, here are some ideas:
Most meals come with the side of soup, salad, potato, or veggie, etc:
-Cheese Ravioli (Lunch: $5.85/ Dinner: $8.80): Homemade ravioli is always good, and at these prices, what's not to love? The portions are large. They use large square raviolis, and the sauce is yummy as well.
-Crab Cake Parmesan and Pasta (Lunch: $6.75/ Dinner: $9.50): Ok. This is a weird one. The crab cakes are good. There isn't a ton of crab, but for the price the amount is way more than you would expect. The sauce and parmesan doesn't add anything for me. But it's pretty good.
-Breaded Crab Cakes and French Fries (Lunch: $6.25): This is the way I like my crab cakes. They have a light deep fried breading, and there are a few good pieces of crab in each one. The filler is pretty good. Def one of my favorite lunches.
-Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato on Toast (Lunch: $3.45): Uh. See this price? What more could you want? Just like mom used to make.
-Turkey Club with Bacon and Cheese (Lunch: $6.10): I got this one day when I was sick. Definitely nothing special. I'd skip this one.
-Large 16x16 Sicilian Pizza ($11.90): SUCH A GOOD DEAL. My parents order this all of the time. 16 slice of pizza for $12?!?!?! WHAT IS THIS? So cheap and filling. They claim the sauce is spicy... It's not. I think it's actually pretty bland. But it reheats well, and it's a great, cheap, lazy night option.
-Gnocchi (Dinner: $11.05): It's not easy finding homemade gnocchi in Pittsburgh. This isn't the best, but it's some of the best Pittsburgh has to offer.
-Baked Ziti (Dinner: $8.05): Nothing to explain. Simple and good.
-Bread Sticks ($5.95): Ok. Compared to everything else on the menu, these seem over priced. But they're so good! Nice and cheesy! And the pair up with the pizza nicely.
My parents like the cannolis and tiramisu as well.
There is also a full bar attached to the restaurant, and it gets a pretty good crowd during sporting events. And then you can get any alcoholic beveridge you can dream up in the restaraunt as well. It's pretty cool. I don't really know how the prices are, but it's a nice option.
Overall, this is a local spot geared at people that want somewhere cheap to eat and be full. It has a bit of a diner feel to it, but is slightly classier looking. Give it a try on your way past!
