    Went with my husband and our 2 teen daughters. We ordered a pizza margherita, which was good but we also ordered the chicken marsala, chicken picatta and a gnocchi with Alfredo sauce and a side of plain pasta with oil and garlic. Everything with the exception of the pizza has WAY TOO MUCH garlic. We couldn’t even eat the pasta, even though we sent it back to see if they could remove some of the garlic. Three of us has an upset stomach that night and we could feel the garlic in our bodies. Food was good overall, but they need to be careful with the garlic next time.

    This is one of my go-to restaurants in downtown Pittsburgh. It is consistently great. The food is awesome, the service is always good and it's a lively and fun place. I would highly recommend it if you are looking for great Italian food and good drinks.

    Be aware… parties of 8 more cannot split a check more than 4 equal ways. This is difficult when there are a mix of co-workers traveling (and can expense) and locals (who cannot expense). It’s an incredibly short-sighted policy in a downtown location hosting business traffic.
