  • I have eaten here on a few occasions and just found the entire experience to be very average, almost unmemorable. Considering Pittsburgh has a deep rooted Italian tradition, I expected more from a family-owned establishment advertising the recipes used are " my mothers authentic southern Italian" flavors. The atmosphere is rather dark and they do have frequent large parties dining so it can get loud. Service each time I have dined here has been courteous, not extremely welcoming, however, I have seen both times the wait staff being very friendly with certain tables, and from talking with others who have dined here, there are frequent regular customers here. The speed of service was on the slower side, although not slow enough to dock any stars for that aspect. My main complaint would be the food. Portions are large, they are fairly priced for the AMOUNT of food, however, I have found everything I have sampled to be bland. I have tried the Cod Romano (oily and bland), the chicken and peppers (some spice from the banana peppers but the chicken was overcooked and dry), the Chicken Mia (despite artichokes, spinach, and Roma tomatoes the dish had little flavor), the Chicken Marsala (this was my favorite dish I tried-the chicken was tender, mushrooms were plentiful, and Marsala was abundant....I'd recommend ordering this from my experience), and the Mediterranean pasta(very little feta, kalamata olives, roasted peppers. Lots of spinach but it was quite oily. A few tweaks with this dish and I think it could be tasty). Pasta marinara comes with the dinners as does a salad. The marinara sauce tastes like a less flavorful version of Ragu. And a $10 up charge to share items?! That's pretty cray-cray! I applaud this restaurant for opening in Avalon, which basically has zero in the way of dining options besides pizza, however I think if you are craving Italian, it's worth it to drive to Bloomfield for an authentic Italian dinner.
