SIENNA MERCATO REVIEWS

My mother is visiting from out of state and found this place while searching the map for Italian dinner spots. We came here on a whim and had one of the loveliest dinners we can remember as a mother/daughter duo. Our server, Jacob, was fantastic. He provided warm, friendly, charismatic service and was eager to answer all of our questions about the menu and plates. Not only was Jacob our server, but also the bartender and the cocktails were fab-u-us!! You can NOT go wrong with the charcuterie board which has rotating selections daily, the entrees are very fairly priced for quality and quantity. I ordered cannolis on a whim (there’s a whole family lore behind why I don’t eat cannolis) and you know what… I think after 30 years, I love cannolis again. To the entire staff- thank you for a fantastic evening! We loved it, and went home stuffed and happy.

A Meatball Joint in Pittsburgh is an absolute gem for anyone craving comfort food with a twist! The menu offers a creative and customizable dining experience centered around their signature meatballs, which are hands down great! Addison, our server and General Manager, was professional and courteous! Great restaurant!.

Rooftop bar is a vibe, servers are friendly, great happy hour specials. Food good as well. Would recommend limongria, and the happy hour special lemoncello martini I ordered the Parmesan herb fries, would recommend those. I got a meatball slider which was good, but the crack sauce is just chipotle ranch, so I wouldn’t recommend ordering with the slider.

DIANOIA'S EATERY REVIEWS

I wish we lived closer! We tried this wonderful restaurant while on a recent trip to Pittsburgh and so glad we did! They acommodated our party of 3 last minute on a busy night at the bar. Food is top notch and we had a good view of the amazing staff in and out of the kitchen. Pasta Primavera with Shrimp, Rapini, Gnocchi and Meatballs and the Bolognese Bianco every bite was so delicious. And yummy Tiramisu for dessert.

One of the best Italian restaurants in Pittsburgh. The food is AMAZING and the atmosphere is very nice. We sat near the garage doors so having windows near us was very nice with the natural light. Cannot recommend this place enough. The side salad is definitely shareable and the bread and olive oil is amazing. I did not get a picture of the brussel sprouts but they were also very good. Every single dish does not disappoint. Please try this place!!.

Wonderful place to get really good Italian food, a great atmosphere, although it was loud at times, The service and the food are top notch. Highly recommend going there for dinner, the bread is unique and inviting, and the pasta, especially the gnocchi is like pillows of pasta. The specialty cocktails are phenomenal. Definitely try them.

ALLA FAMIGLIA REVIEWS

We were here for a work event in the upper dining area. This place was incredible. From the minute you step in the door. The atmosphere incredible. The food unbelievable. This was my first time here, but it won’t be the last. From the meatball app, to the pasta, the olive oil dipping with hot peppers crazy good, to the salad, to the main course and of course dessert. I had the chilin sea bass. Wow incredible. Plus our server Caitlin was incredible. Knowledgeable, caring and understanding. She hit it out of the ball park. Was it expensive sure. Ever good thing in life is not cheap.

The food was very good. We were sat near the kitchen line, which was a new experience and resulted in an interesting “show” from one of the servers. Thankfully, our server was great in handling it. The portion sizes were quite large, and resulted in plenty of leftovers!.

An amazing restaurant. The meatball appetizer is amazing, the Cacio e Pepe pasta is prepared table side and is a must try! Loved the Caesar Salad, the white anchovies made it special.
