- LLauraPittsburgh •12 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoFour of us went to this restaurant for the first time before a Christmas show. My husband has ALS and is in a wheelchair and they quickly noticed and placed us at an accessible table and removed a chair for his comfort. ADA issues do not exist here - they were prepared and very accommodating. We started out with meatballs and focaccia with squash dip for appetizers. Drink list is extensive - it had interesting holiday options - but we just had Chianti and helltowne beer. We got chopped and arugula salads to share - I don’t even typically enjoy arugula but the salad looked interesting and we devoured them. They were absolutely delicious. Our entrees were tagliatelle, ricotta gnocchi, sausage and pepper pizza, and rigatoni vodka sauce. Everything was amazing. All four of us immensely enjoyed our meals. Gelato for dessert. Server was polite and attentive. It was one of the best experiences and amazing food that we’ve had in a restaurant downtown in ages. This place is a gem. We will be back 100%.More infoTalia Cucina RosticceriaPrice: Moderate• Italian• Downtown•4.7

So we shared 3 pizzas and a bottle of Nero Davala wine. Mercurio's in Fox Chapel is our favorite pizza place and we love the staff who are so energetic and pleasant.
