| - In a nutshell: Huge portions of tasty American-Italian food. Delicious bread and dipping oil. Small dining room = long wait.
As a South Hills resident for most of my life, I've dine here many, many, many times. This is one of my go-to Italian restaurants in the South Hills and I think a lot of people have the same idea, as there is ALWAYS a wait here. Come here semi-hungry because by the time you get seated, you'll be hungry. One thing that keeps me coming back is the bread and dipping oil; you almost don't need an appetizer. In terms of entrees, there isn't much you can go wrong with. My favorites are anything followed by "Parmigiana," the veal, chicken, zucchini, eggplant - I've tried them all. Another favorite is the Alfredo. One thing about the alfredo, though, is you need to eat it there; if you take it home and reheat it, the butter and cream separate and it's just not good. But it is amazing when it's fresh! Shrimp scampi is also great: huge jumbo shrimp. They usually have a huge selection of desserts, but the tiramisu is my favorite: simple and classic. Come here when you're in the mood for simple, classic American-Italian.
