“I stopped into SIMPLE SUBS today. I CHOSE A CHEESESTEAK SUB. IT WAS DELICIOUS. IF YOU HAVE NEVER STOPPED IN YOU SHOULD TRY IT OUT CUZ IT'S GREAT.“

“I thought I was going to be disappointed by this random bar in a strip mall, but every time it has turned out to be so fun! Definitely go with a group of your own friends... There isn't a lot of mingling among the patrons, but the karaoke/DJ guy that is there a lot on the weekends will play pretty much ANY request, which makes everyone happy. The drink prices are fair and they have some decent specials. The bartenders aren't overly nice or attentive, but nothing to complain about either. PS Smoking is allowed inside here. There's a ton of space though, so it's usually not that much of an issue.“

“THANK YOU! I always get pizza delivered, but accidentally hit pick-up last week. I called wondering where my pizza was, only to find out my mistake. I asked if I could switch to delivery and they said yes, it would probably be about 30 minutes…no problem. It was at my door in less than 10 minutes! Great customer service even though I was the one that made a mistake.“

“We had the Sicilian with sausage and the white pizza with tomato and ricotta. Both of the pizza’s were delicious. The atmosphere was very nice & the staff was friendly and attentive making for an overall great experience!“

“We ordered dinner this evening. My husband had a whole meatball hoagie. He said it was really good and has enough left over for another meal. I had a crispy chicken salad bit had a good variety of veggies and plenty of chicken. I also had a few breadsticks on the side. Everything was delicious.“

“So glad reopened back up under new ownership from other locations. Sooo delicious always“

“A group of 5 of us visited Dish last night and the meals were amazing. Grilled Squid, the best I have ever had. Where else can you find it not breaded and fried? Add to that their amazing sardines so fresh and good. Pasta Funghi another high. Exquisite detail to taste in every dish. The owners go way out of their way to make you feel welcomed and happy and very satisfied. A must visit when you are lucky enough to get a reservation though other friends have happily sat at the bar for dinner just to be there!! Kudos to Dish!“

“Visited this morning for the first time. Got egg and cheese sandwiches, one croissant one ciabatta - both were amazing!! The lattes were delicious and rich. You can really taste the quality of the espresso. They were short staffed (1 employee who was grinding hard!) so I did wait about 25 minutes for two coffees and sandwiches. I didn’t mind that much and it was well worth the wait. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Everything is amazing The fresh baked Italian bread is to die for The soups, pizza, hoagie, ravioli all outstanding“

“I came here with my dad and got the chicken piccata, which was delicious! It was served with assorted vegetables which I actually liked versus the pasta. We will be back!“

“Alta Via is definitely a favorite place of mine now. Tonight was my third time coming, and our server Eddie was absolutely amazing. He saved our night! (We had a horrible experience at another resturaunt, so we left and came to Alta Via in Market Square!) He was so attentive to our needs and really went above and beyond! Food is always delicious, drinks are amazing and the focaccia bread they bring out is to die for. Highly recommend! And ask for Eddie at the Market Square location!“

“This cafe is great any time of day--everything is homemade and delicious and the menu changes a little every day. The pastries and espresso are great early in the day, and then the arancini, pizza, and pasta are wonderful at dinner. They have a nice selection of drinks, including sangria on-tap! We will definitely be back here regularly to enjoy more of the wonderful food and ambiance.“

“my boyfriend and i tried pelegrino’s after we got sent a menu from them in the mail. we each got a pizza, and the cost was INCREDIBLY lower than the other pizza places we’ve ordered from. they deliver as well, which is nice. what i also appreciate about pelegrino’s is the option for online ordering, which allows me to pay & tip so i don’t have to fumble whenever the delivery comes. it takes some time, but it’s always worth the wait; we’ve never been disappointed!! this is our go to pizza spot!!“

“We just received a shipment of the caramel, sea salt chocolate drenched biscotti. They are divinely delicious! Just as we remembered from a trip we took last summer to Pittsburgh and surrounding areas. I told my husband that from now on, we will never send people flowers. We will send them these biscotti instead, and you can bet they’ll be more appreciated.“

“Food and service were amazing! Hostess, Michelle is incredible! She kept circling the restaurant for available seats and keeping us updated on the wait time until we were seated! We were able to eat and get to our event on time! Great experience!“

“We have been going to Piccolo Forno for years. It is my favorite restaurant. The staff is outstanding. The food is creative and menu items are changed regularly to make use of seasonal ingredients. There are so many delicious choices on the menu that it is difficult to decide what to order. The food is reasonably priced and the corkage fee is less than most restaurants. This restaurant is a gem for anyone who loves delicious Italian food!“

“Absolutely LOVED this place! The owners and all the guys working there were amazing. We came from Tennessee to Pittsburgh for a wedding and decided to stop in here since it was right by our hotel. BEST decision ever. Best pizza we have had and our kids LOVED it. We have a son that is very picky and he ate three huge slices! Thank you so much for the hospitality and the next time we are in Pittsburgh we will be stopping by again!“

“My wife and I stopped in on a whim for dinner. Great decision! She had the rigatoni diablo and I had spaghetti and meatballs. Our dishes were delicious, and the portions were generous. The service was friendly and fast. The decor was not fancy but the restaurant was clean and neat. All in all a great place to go for a satisfying Italian meal!“

“Fantastic and would highly recommend. From the owner to the staff to the customers beside us. My mouth watered the entire time.“

“Our first visit. Very pleased. Nicely made cocktails. The loaf of fresh buckwheat focaccia with herbed olive oil was addicting. I had a tasty seafood linguine loaded with shellfish, calamari, shrimp, and fish in a mild white wine sauce. My wife enjoyed several small plates; the finocchiona and duck prosciutto followed by the shrimp. She liked all of them. Kate, our server, was friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable about the menu options. It's definitely a good choice for a really good meal.“

“Service impeccable….food is “ Always On”“

“Called ahead for a Saturday night reservation on a Saturday morning...got a reservation 15 minutes from requested time and was seated promptly.Read the recent reviews, therefore, did not order fried zucchini, or any appetizer, as thep portions were described as large, and they were!The wedding soup was served steaming hot with tender meatballs; could have used more pepper.Ordered two entrees;Alla pescatore, which contrary to recent reviews, was served with firm, not mushy linguine. Garlickly flavor aand could have been tastier with some red pepper flakes.Neptune, with veal, was one of the few entrees served without pasta. Good flavor and about twice a normal portion.We ate half of each entree, and shared a tiramasu for dessert...delicious!!B.Y.O.B.Classic Italian restaurant that is worth trying!Gigantic portion sizBYOBNeptune, veal,...tender and rich flavor“

“Excellent food, love the ambiance of the restaurant.“

“Very good restaurant that recommended to anyone who wants to have a fine dinner but sad they closing the doors so please try to support them before they close.“

“Delicious food, a wide variety of options, a great local place!“

“My first time at bar Marco and certainly will not be my last. This spot is unreal from drinks to dessert. Amazing atmosphere (very small-so reserve!) I got a bonus pasta added to my meal because I have a problem of needed two pastas, always! Worth it - and will be back sooner than later!“

“Such delicious food, great service & such a nice atmosphere. The salads, Vegetable Lasagna & Spaghetti and Meatballs are delicious. The Tarts & biscotti are really good. We will definitely be back again.“

“Given the mixed reviews, I had some hesitation, but wow, color me impressed, happy, and full!Went with a friend and we shared the mushroom flatbread, short rib pasta, and a canola. We were greeted by our weight staff promptly after I arrived a few minutes later than my friend with water and menus.After giving us a few mins to decide, we placed our order, they asked about cadence, and brought delicious focccaia and olive oil pesto to the table. Wowowowow sosososo good. The flatbread was also delicious. Nothing special, but good ingredients done right. Now the short rib pasta - sad it was its last day as they are changing out some things for the season. The sauce was so rich! The cherry chocolate cannoli was a sweet ending!All in all, for the price (ended up being $52 for the the two of us with tax and tip), the food and service were great! Any more expensive, I probably would have knocked it down a star, but if every visit was like this one, I will be excited to go backPlease note - it takes a bit for me to give something 5 stars for what it is and the location, it is without a doubt a 5 stars for me.“

“They make really good sandwiches. I had the Italian sub. The bread was soft and chewy and the fillings were tasty. I will probably go extra meat next time just because it tasted so good. My wife had the fish sandwich. This was no little fish sandwich! The filet of fish hung out a good 3 inches in each side of the bun. It's a plain sandwich with just the fish, but it was light and flakey (you can add cheese, tartar or ketchup. I would definitely recommend it.“

“Food and service was great! FYI…they add convenience charge if paying with card!“

“Papa Allen's generously contributed 30 extra-large pizzas to nourish all the participants at our fundraising event, Duquesne Dance Marathon, in support of the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. Despite reaching out to numerous other pizza establishments in the Pittsburgh area to share the donation load, only Papa Allen's showed willingness to support our cause. Not only did they provide the pizzas, but they also personally delivered them to our event, showcasing their dedication.Throughout the dinner, many attendees inquired about the source of the delicious pizzas, expressing how much they liked the pizza. The exceptional taste of the pizza was matched by the outstanding service provided by the staff. Papa Allen's commitment to excellence extends beyond just their food, making them the perfect pizza shop to receive your support in the Pittsburgh area!“
