Service is very uneven. Waited an hour and 45 mins to get our entrees. Staff is very lackadaisical about time between drinks, appetizers, and entrees. The idea is to get all of that done in two hours and then pay your bill and move in. That is not what happens here. read more

First time here, came with our neighbors. Food and service (Scott)was terrific. I had the angel hair scoglio, wife had the salmon. Everything was delicious. This definitely could be our new go-to Italian restaurant. read more

Went to Bella's tonight for the first time and totally fell in love! We went on a Saturday night and they had prime rib as a special. It was DELICIOUS!!! We also ordered meat ravioli and that was also delicious! The wedding soup was one of the best I've had in Pittsburgh. Will be coming back regularly...be sure to make reservations in advance! read more

Superb meals. Very friendly servers and staff. Consistent high quality both eat in and take out.

I thought that the food and service was fine Chicken Marsala Pasta with clam sauce Salads and soup Good value read more

Service and food quality dropped considerably on a busy night. I had the same dish as last time. The sauce was extremely reduced and it was obvious that it had been plated in steps. Not what I expected from a usually reliable fine dining refuge. The setting, the dining room, the canyon location are wonderful. I'll go back but not on a busy evening again. They were out of their depth and in the weeds. (retired award winning fine dining professional). read more

Decided to try this local spot for a late lunch while in town. Surprisingly for a late lunch at 2 pm, the place was crowded. I chose the meatball sandwich and a side of the crab & corn chowder. The sandwich was piping hot when it came out, and our waiter graciously gave me a small bowl of the marinara sauce to dip my sandwich into. It was the perfect comfort food! The chowder was a tad salty, but I still enjoyed it because I was starving. Other dishes that my family ordered were the chicken salad sandwich, eggplant parmesan (super cheesy), and the spots (most popular fish dish). I'd recommend stopping by this place if you're looking for a locally homemade, soul-warming meal! read more

Flavor and amount of food is acceptable. Each got a chicken dish and could NOT cut the boneless breast's with a knife. Had to pull apart along the grain. Just not good quality chicken. Otherwise not too bad. read more

Just a little on the pricy side and seems to be better for like date night than going alone. But the food is great and the service has always been good too. read more

The service was "okay" but not great. There were 7 of us, so maybe that's why. But we were definitely made to feel like we were invisible. We always had to ask for the simple things....drink refills, appetizer plates, etc. But the biggest disappointment was the food. Three of us had chicken Marsala and it was very tough and chewy. The other meals weren't great either. This is the 3rd time this year that we had a bad experience. The charm and great food is no longer there. It will be a long time before we go back. read more

Stopped here for the first time with my family today, and I have to say their food is really good, and I would come back again to try some of their dinner entrees. I ordered the Italian club today for lunch, and it was tasty. The bread was light and crunchy, and the fries were so crunchy and pillowy on the inside. I judge a restaurant by how good their ranch is, and theirs is homemade for sure. I ordered it for my fries and sandwich--it made the whole meal. Prices are really reasonable here also. The only negative I have to say is they could use some more natural light in the dining room, especially at lunch time. You can't really do much about that at a place like this because there are basically no windows, but just be aware the inside isn't the most appealing. Thankfully their food is really good, so if I'm ever out this way, I'll pick up a something to go for sure! read more

Amazing food and service. Small and quant little place.We had the chicken Alfredo and Marsala. The chicken Marsala was a little on the sweet side but still good. read more

Always great food. Great service. One of the most consistent restaurants ! Go early if you can or make a reservation, especially on the weekend. read more

We stopped in this restaurant tonight for the first time. The host was very welcoming on arrival. Although we didn't have reservations (highly recommend) he was able to seat us due to a cancellation. Lauren was absolutely fantastic! She was always available without being overbearing. A true professional. We were underdressed (I was wearing a sweatshirt and he was wearing flip flops) and never felt judged. Beverages were great, food was fantastic, service was amazing! I had the seafood ravioli, my boyfriend had angel hair scoglio following some scrumptious bruschetta, Italian wedding soup, and seafood chowder. For dessert we had the creme brûlée (and also took home some tiramisu). Absolutely delicious! The decor was very homey and the food, drinks, and service are spot on! We will absolutely be back. Thank you DeLallo's staff for a great dinner. read more

Good food, great staff, and a nice break from chain restaurants! The restaurant is nice on the inside- has a cozy vibe. Their wedding soup is delicious!!! read more

Food is consistently good and servings are generous. We typically have take home bags. The Virginia Spots with crab are simply fabulous and are hard not to order every visit, but the Chicken DeLallo in Madeira Sauce with goat cheese is a worthy choice when not in the mood for fish. Mussels were tasty, but a bit too salty for our liking. Desserts are amazing, but the old traditional Pecan Ball with hot fudge, caramel or both is a tough choice too. In this case, why choose? Be like me and get both! You will thank me. Our server, Mike, was extremely friendly and efficient. He made our meal a very pleasant dining experience. Although the restaurant may be a bit dated, it is a well run establishment and appears very clean. Older clientele mostly, but carries it's linen tablecloth old school Italian kinda charm throughout the generations that choose to visit. Mangia tutti! read more

Planned on having dinner there tonight, hours say open 11-9 arrived at 5:30. Not a single car on the parking lot. Not quite sure what is going on. Proper posting of hours would have saved us out of townera some Trouble read more

Yum! DeLallo's is great! So glad my husband's coworker recommended this place. We got the fried provolone app and it was delicious! They make everything in house! Nothing worse than getting those frozen cheese sticks from a box at a restaurant! I had the special, sword fish steak over sweet potato hash. The fish was great, but the sweet potatoes were just blahhhh. They weren't cooked all the way through and weren't seasoned enough. My husband got the spaghetti and meatballs and really enjoyed his meal. We split the peanut butter pie (again made in house) and both loved it. I would love to try the tiramisu next time! I should also mention the service was wonderful! We had a really great time at DeLallo's and will certainly be back! read more

Four old high school friends got together for dinner here. The service was great,as was the food. Two of us had the veal Marsala which was tender and nicely sauced. Another person has the shrimp topped with crab meat. The shrimp were cooked just right and the crabmeat topping was generous and nicely seasoned The fourth member had the classic spaghetti Bolognese and declared it to be delicious. The martinis had a generous amount of gin in them. A fun evening for all of us read more

I just came home from having dinner at Bella's. I had a desire for Italian and found Bella's on Google and was impressed by the posted pictures of some of their food items. I live nearby so decided to go and try it out on this cold, dreary winter evening. Upon arrival I was seated immediately in an almost empty dining room. The décor was quite impressive with subdued but adequate lighting. I was very impressed with the attire of the wait staff. It was indicative of an establishment that wanted to impress!. I thought that the menu was quite extensive and provided enough varied selections for anyone's palate. My order was immediately taken by my server Mike and I was treated with the same respect as though I was the patriarch of a ten member family. As a lone octogenarian diner, I have been disrespected at numerous establishments. Usually the first question is "Would you like a seat at the bar?"! Tonight it was "Would you like a table or a booth?". The service was top rate and the food was very well presented and tasted great. I was very impressed with the ambience and with the very quiet tone in the conversations of the patrons. I enjoy a quiet meal without having to hear the cacophony of numerous diners over-talking each other in their outside voices. Towards the end of my meal the dining room was filling up but the noise level was softly maintained. All in all I had a great experience and would recommend Bella's to friends. 5 * read more

Service was good. Food was excellent. Atmosphere was cozy and not too loud. Definitely will return.

Not sure why everyone thinks this place is so special. Either that, or we went on a bad day. We went for my sister's 70th birthday. Something special - not. While the ambience is nice, and wait staff (Meghan) was very nice and cheerful, we never received a bread basket. At the beginning or during the meal. The salad was not fresh. Looked like it had been chopped earlier in the day, as the ends of the lettuce were brown. I ordered the Chicken Maremanna. The fontina cheese was not thoroughly melted, and the spinach was not trimmed. The chicken was thick and not easy to cut. Either should have been pounded or served with a steak knife. My aunt said her chicken Marsala was good, but hard to cut. My sister said her veal Parmesan was "Ok". Nothing special. The vegetables were frozen, microwaved veggies. The carrots were like rubber and there was no flavor in them at all. The wait staff came by 4 times to ask me if I was done with my salad. Each time I said "no". I think I disappointed them. Maybe they need more to do? The bench seats in the booth were rock hard. No padding left. When we asked the waitress at the end of the meal if we were supposed to get bread, she said "oh, you didn't get bread? Do you want me to give you some to go?" Missed the point. This is no place special. I'm from out of town and expected more. Would not return there, even if I did live in the area. read more

First time and we loved it. Food was old school Italian, which is harder to find each year it seems. I had the seafood ravioli and she had the broiled spots with crab. Both were amazing and reasonably priced. I ate more than I should have and still had leftovers for the kids. If you're looking for a contemporary setting updated with the latest trends, most exotic food and pretentious cocktails, this place probably isn't what you're looking for. If you want great seafood and Italian, friendly service and a crowd with lots of regulars, this place is it. One small criticism, her martini was almost room temperature. It didn't burn her lips, so no big deal. We'll definitely be back. read more

Classic Italian food with hearty portions and a friendly staff, Bella's is our local choice for Italian. Prices are reasonable, though a good idea to book ahead (especially in Friday's and weekends) as it is popular local eatery with much repeat business. read more

Chicken Marsala is the best that I have ever had. Get it with extra sauce and dip with the bread& butter....MMMMM GOOD.... Now I'm craving it but their closed tomorrow( Monday,) Get dinner portion for lunch. read more

Quick overview: The food here ROCKS! Reservationist & Hostess rock! The server, at least the one we had, does not, unfortunately. (But you still gotta go there for the food!) Our party of 5 dined on a Tuesday night & absolutely loved the food! Appetizers: The red sauce we chose for the Mussels appetizer was deliciously addictive and we actually ate our bread this way, with the sauce, rather than slathered with butter. We did have one Salt Stick in our bread basket, which, if you don't know, those are like Pittsburgh bread basket gold! We might have asked for one or two more salt sticks, but all agreed that it could make us too satiated to enjoy the dinner entrees. Annndddd bc... we also had shared hand-breaded Fried Provolone, and the awesome Crab-stuffed Mushrooms as appetizers! Definitely recommend all 3 of these starter plates. Next, the Wedding soup was very good, and the salads were fresh. For our dinners- The Virginia Spots (either with or without crabmeat) were fresh, lightly crusted, perfectly cooked--amazing. The crabmeat was snow white, delicious and adequately portioned. The Fisherman's Platter was an excellent way to get the "best of all worlds" in seafood--with excellent scallops btw! The Veal Piccata was good, the medallions were a little thick, could've been a bit more tender, but still good. One of our guests had the Chicken Alfredo, it looked good, I'm including a pic, but I didn't get to ask how it was. Our Server- I've now seen other reviews regarding the server's attitude, maybe we all had the same server? Annoyed, impatient. She just acted imposed upon and gave a vibe like she couldn't wait for us to leave--from the beginning. One person in our party commented after dinner that she did smile a little when dropping the $260 check. And that's crazy bc someone else wrote that too in a review! We still left a $60 cash gratuity--mainly because we all have worked in restaurants before. But the experience could have 100x better. Anyway... ALL IN ALL- this restaurant is a MUST TRY! DO NOT MISS! read more

Food was not good. Ordered medium rare steaks that came out well done, house salad looked like salad out of a bag tossed on a plate and Italian wedding soup had no meatballs. Service was mediocre.... We will not be back. read more

I recently had lunch here with a business colleague that loves Italian cuisine. We both had the veal parm with a side of pasta. The food and service were both very good and the atmosphere is old school Italian. I recommend Bella's.. read more

Pretty solid American style italian food in the south hills area. We ordered take out and tried three dishes: the chicken maremana, penne farlanese, and the gnocchi with short rib. Each dish came with a soup or salad side, and the portions were pretty substantial. The service was quick, and our food was ready before the time given. The chicken dish was average, if a little salty, the gnocchi was alright, personally I felt the dish was too mushroom heavy when the star should have been the short rib. However the absolute best item was for sure the penne, the tomato basil cream sauce was creamy and delicious. I would try again for that pasta alone. Overall, a pretty satisfying meal, would give 3.5 if I could. read more

We went here to celebrate my husband getting a new job after 31 years! We were NOT disappointed! The food was amazing! The service was as just as good! Our sever Scott was out of this world! He said as on top of everything! All of the food came out in just the right amount of time and was fresh and hot! The young boys walking around filling up water and taking dirty plates were even great! We were very happy over all with everything! We will definitely go back! read more

The food was very good at Bella's on Fort Couch last summer. Here is the problem: it was approximately 20 minutes before a server came to take our order. She did not apologize or even acknowledge the delay. The prices were also excessive in my opinion. I doubt that I will return. read more

So delicious and our server was amazing! Love the Wedding Soup & Seafood Chowders/Bisques Pick some quarts up on your way out!

Love it!!! Good zucchini, spots with crab is the best!! Tried the prime rib, could be in my top 3 best I ever had! Ask for bar table more upbeat and they offer a bar menu as well. Good wine selection. Awesome pecan ball and homemade hot fudge and caramel. read more

This is a great place if you're craving pasta or American Italian. I've been here a couple times and have enjoyed everything I've tried. My favorite, though, is the Broiled Spots. Maybe I haven't been to enough Italian restaurants, but I've never seen spots on the menu at any other place. It's a delicate white fish that is served in a buttery sauce and topped with crispy panko bread crumbs. So so good. Another tasty dish is the Pasta Farlenese, which has a tomato cream sauce. We've also tried the homemade ravioli and while they were ok, probably not the best I've tried. The dough seemed a little tough, but maybe it was just my batch? But their sauce served with it was pretty good. I definitely recommend DeLallo's if you're in the area and looking for simple Italian. read more

Went to DeLallo's for dinner with my family for a celebration dinner and had an amazing experience! We made reservations and although they were busy they said they would squeeze us in at the time we requested. Once arriving we were seated right away and greeted by a very nice waitress. She took our drink orders and brought out bread. She gave us a run down of the menu and the best dishes! We ordered and she quickly brought out our soups and salads. Our food did not take too much longer and it was delicious!! I had the scallops and veggies and was very satisfied. My family also really enjoyed their meals as well. The restaurant was clean and had a pleasant atmosphere!! Our meals were wonderful and we were stuffed! I will definitely be back soon! read more

DeLallo's Fort Couch Cafe had the best reviews for a restaurant near our hotel so we decided to stop in for lunch. Walking in, the restaurant is very outdated and old looking so we weren't impressed with the decor. Luckily though, the host and waiter were very nice and gave us excellent service. Scott was our waiter and was very accommodating. We tried their eggplant parmesan, chicken salad sandwich, meatball sandwich, and their broiled spots. The broiled spots was definitely the favorite as it was crispy from the panko crust, well seasoned, covered in lemon butter sauce, and served with tasty green beans & mushrooms. We also opted for their soups as appetizers, and enjoyed their Italian wedding soup and corn and crab bisque. Overall DeLallo's is a solid place for lunch, and I recommend stopping by if you're in the area. read more
