⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Paige B.
This place was so cute and quaint. It's a little spot but everyone is so nice. We decided fo try this place on a whim and was just really craving good Italian..... they usually require a reservation, but they were nice and was able to fit us in. The portion sizes were huge and the food was just as good! The chicken was so flavorful and the ingredients I could tell were fresh. They also provide bread and rolls and my son loved them. The waitstaff was very friendly and attentive and I will be back!
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — Sakina Huzefa
We had an enjoyable dinner here. They have a massive seating area which was packed on a Saturday night. Reservations recommended. Service was good even though the place was packed. The fried zuchinni was excellent - thinly sliced, light coating and crispy. I got the chicken parm - which was just as good. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the breading was not overwhelming or soggy. I really enjoyed it. Overall a good experience

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Tricia Pro
Literally the best Italian food you will ever eat! This quaint little restaurant is a hidden gem in Greentree offering some of the best pasta dishes in all of Pittsburgh. Our server, James, made the whole dining experience even more pleasant with his excellent service, attentiveness and suggestions. We started with wine to kick off the night & it was perfect! The salad came next & was so fresh & simple with a delicious house dressing - we even loved the assortment of rolls he brought out. If you love fried zucchini- Scoglio’s are the best, so thin & crispy & served with the best horseradish dip. My main course was Angel hair pasta with fresh marinara sauce- that was out of this world delicious! The portion was huge so I took most of it home & it was just the as good the next day. All in all, one of the best birthday dinners I’ve ever had, the atmosphere, food and service were next level.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Stephanie Stewart
This is a great place to meet for dinner. The food is amazing and the staff is always nice. I have never had a bad meal here. I have also been to several showers at this restaurant and the quality never suffered. There is a bar to the right of the dinning room that has comfortable seating and you eat on that side too.
