I've been going here for years. As an Italian I can say this place is authentic. The espresso is made right with a great machine. They even air Italian television. Be warned they do not have a public restroom. Located in the strip district it's the place to be seen by every Italian in Pittsburgh. Lots of Italians gather on Saturday morning for coffee and some even play cards together. I love how they serve espresso is a real ceramic cup no paper cups. Don't expect Starbucks. It's better and the real thing.
