It is great to have a place that serves upscale food but isn't stuffy and pretentious. Service is always friendly and efficient. I love that they have a rotating seasonal menu. It is on the higher end price wise, but you get what you pay for. And that means nice portions, quality ingredients and excellent taste. If you are looking for a place for a great date night or a special occasion, this is a perfect place.

Got a Pinot noir wine and waters Starter=soup of the day: tomato w/ chickpea and chorizo- bold tomato flavor and lots of arugula in it. Not so much chorio but flavor was very good, not overly salty. 10/10 After the soup we put our nit-picking goggles on as we knew this was a pretty sophisticated meal. Daily special- pan seared mahi mahi with asparagus fennel kohlabi and arugula salad citrus buerre Blanc. Light citrus flavor is found thru the mahi mahi, its sauce and the salad. Very congruent. Asparagus was a neutral addition. Not flowing with or against the mahi. Fish was cooked well. Just lots of raw red onion on the salad was a little overpowering. 7/10 Red wine braised short rib- didn't ask how well done, so seems chefs choice. We have a preference towards med rare. This was cooked well done making it a tad tough-stringy. Mashed potatoes with some larger pieces of potato, but very neutral plain flavor, great with the beef sauce. Carrots cooked well, just neutral, natural flavor. Overall a very classic flavor combo that works.7/10. Would stop by again to try more dishes. Ps- when paying we noticed final bill to sign was more than first bill at table. When we asked why the difference we were told it's the credit card fee of $3. This was really the first time I've seen this at a restaurant, yet alone at a decent place like one. Would have been best for them to tell us this upfront.

Great family owned Italian restaurant! A hidden gem located…read moreon Mosside Boulevard near Forbes Hospital across from Gateway High School campus. Great authentic Italian cuisine with fresh ingredients. Nice Italian style decor with a family friendly atmosphere. The service is always on point, fast and friendly servers. Our go to appetizers are usually the homemade meatballs with ricotta cheese and crab stuffed hot peppers, both are delicious! I haven't found something I don't like here. All the chicken dishes are great including the Parm and Marsala are my go to dishes. A nice selection of seafood and veal as well. I've had catering from here and the chicken and beef dishes were great. The meal included mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables. I especially love to support small family owned businesses. Highly recommended! The only problem I usually have here is what to order! Hahaha! Salute

We were greeted and seated quickly, then waited about 5 minutes before our server came. She was very professional and pleasant. After one bite of the Chicken Marsala I had ordered, I just couldn't bring myself to eat any more of it. The gravy was awful. There's just no way to describe it. Our server kindly suggested alternate meals. I chose Chicken Parmesan without cheese. It was delicious. That red sauce was scrumptious, though a tad on the sweet side. My husband ordered the Eggplant Parmesan and thought it was mediocre. (He judges restaurants by this meal.) Then he ordered the Chocolate Bavarian cake. He thought it was light and tasty. Not too sweet at all. Yummy. The Christmas music playing was wonderful to listen to but played too loudly. We prefer the music be in the background so we may have conversations. I had a headache until I left the restaurant. I absolutely loved how they decorated for Christmas throughout the whole restaurant! Their service is not fast, so this is not a place for a quick meal.

It's hard to get authentic Italian food anymore , and I'm telling you that you will find it here ! We will be back.

I will be the first to say we are Italian food snobs because of our very Italian heritage…read more However! I could not wait to write this review. My mom the matriarch, myself and my very Irish guy who loves Italian food too stopped at Shrodi's for an early dinner. Yes, I've been seeing the many posts and comments on social media. Yes, I know the very long family history and know the infamous shrodi from his restaurant back in the good ol' days. So that is my prelude to this dining experience today. We walked in and were greeted by Natalie who also lucky for us was our fabulous server. Italian. Authentic. Tradition History What is better than a quaint stone restaurant with a Basil garden thriving as you walk up? Well, a family tradition and staff who all welcome you as family .. yes, we know the family history of Shrodi. The menu was plentiful and the selections took much time to choose and with the outstanding help of Natalie we made our picks! What is cool is my mom is not a big eater anymore and chose off the senior menu which is very clever to have available and still had enough leftovers for lunch today. The stuffed banana peppers with Sunday sauce were amazing. Three served generously and one went home! Veal piccata was delish with a nice zest of lemon. Large portions! House salad with their house dressing to add according to our taste. Many kalamata Olives. Cherry tomatoes Fresh mushrooms. And freshest mixed greens Our Irishman picked his favorite penne with vodka sauce. It was the best he's ever had. And he's super picky. I have to agree! The added prosciutti and seasonings were truly mouth watering. The chef is masterful in the kitchen and believe me, every mouth watering taste was worth the wait! Natalie was fabulous and attentive to us from hello to see you again soon goodbye. Everyone waved goodbye as we left. Oh I forgot to mention they are making a bocce court out back to really add to its authentic Italian tradition and flair. It's a little bit of Heaven tucked away in Penn Hills! Do not pass it up!

The atmosphere was really nice, the restaurant felt clean, and the customer service was great. We also noticed that the waiters and waitresses wore gloves, which we appreciated. I had the birria tacos, and they were so good. Honestly, even the rice and beans stood out to me. I could have eaten a whole bowl of them by themselves. You can tell they put care into the food, even down to the sides. We also tried a few of the drinks. The Perla Tropical and Dulce Tentación were part of their specials, and my personal favorite was the Ay Mama because it was sweet and so good. The prices were reasonable for what you get, and the location is a plus too. It is right next to a plaza with an escape room, flower shop, and spa, which makes it easy to turn dinner into a full date night. Definitely recommend for a date night or a family dinner. We really enjoyed ourselves.

Expansive menu of flavors with options for everyone and outstanding service!…read more Monroeville has been waiting for new options and Plaza Azteca is definitely meeting and exceeding expectations. Renovating the old King's building and now packing out the parking lot almost every single night of the week. From the floral photo wall out front to the gorgeous modern interior.. it is amazing to see a business owner taking pride in their building and doing everything they can to invite the community! The menu adds to that. Tons of meats and every Mexican option possible. Plus a well done kids menu and à la carte options for the picky eaters too. We ordered meals for six people right at lunch on a weekend and the food was prepared in under 20 minutes. Everything was so well packed for to go with generous portions. Plus they added in chips and salsa made everyone happy!! Takeout is right at the hostess stand and the bags were already full ready for a quick and easy pickup. Only tip - they don't take a name or give you a number for your takeout pickup, so you just come in and start describing your order!!

The food was very good and reasonably priced. It always surprises me when servers are not trained as well as they should be. While our server was polite and gracious, he did little to offer suggestions for drinks, additional appetizers or desserts. Things that could have benefited the diner and the restaurant. He also was not as organized as he could have been. The other thing I hope the owner pays attention to are the extremely uncomfortable chairs. A little padding to the backs would help. These are minor issues when the food is good and made order.

No warning, no call ahead. They seated us in the bar at high tops -- with a 3-year-old. When we raised the issue, the response from staff was: "Sorry, we shouldn't have taken your reservation." That's not an apology. That's a confession. They knew they couldn't honor the reservation and took it anyway. We won't be back. The prices are absurd for eating in what amounts to a divey sports bar with slot machines too--26 bucks for chicken Marsala, and people pushing past your high top table to feed to video poker machine. EDIT: they also add 3% to your bill for using a credit card.

Our favorite dishes include, Veal, Chicken, or Eggplant Parm. Also the Chicken Anthony or Veal Anthony are house specialties.

The nostalgia of endless breadsticks and salad... is mostly just nostalgia now…read more Don't get me wrong - I loved Olive Garden when I was a kid. Stuff your face but in a more elegant non-buffet feeling. However, this location has lost most of that nostalgia at this point. The breadsticks are never as fresh. The salad is questionable. It is good that they provide such a large quantity, so when you remove the giant butts of inedible lettuce... you still have a normal amount. Olive Garden always has new items and I tried the new Steak & Shrimp Bucatini. Unfortunately... or maybe fortunately.. the steak lump was not cut into pieces, so I could see that it was a piece of roast and not a steak. The lack of sear on both proteins indicated that the cooking is most likely just sous vide.. boiled. My wife got the Fettuccine Alfredo. Nothing to write good or bad about. It was just average. PRO TIP: Always extra for extra sauce! They are just scooping from a large pot, so it doesn't cost any extra to get an extra cup. Takeout does have its perks. Olive Garden keeps you updated on the order readiness and provides parking spots for curbside. Just like Target, tell them you arrive and they bring it right out to you! Not many restaurants do this anymore! I bumped them to 3 stars just because of this fact.

Our service was horrendous, waited extremely long to even be greeted and get our drink order. But apparently time heals and the memory faded. We had a gift card to use so we gave it another try and had a pleasant experience this go around. Good daily lunch specials that include Never Ending Salad & Breadsticks. Our server was nice and attentive. The restaurant is clean with Italian decor and a cozy family friendly atmosphere. Love their homemade Alfredo sauce with any of the meats, especially the shrimp! Yum! The salad and breadsticks were fresh and very tasty. We will be back again soon when in the mood for some Italian food. Cheers!
