The food is good overall and very classic Italian. The fact that the building doesn't have AC is a big turnoff unfortunately. Also the pasta is extremely expensive for what it is. Service was normal read more

We were so excited to try DiAnoia's because everyone raved about it so a group of friends met there for dinner. We had reservations for 8 and were planning to spend a nice night celebrating friendships. Well that sure didn't happen. They made sure to let us know that we only had the table until 8 pm when our reservation was for 6 pm. We thought that would be fine. Well when it took 20 minutes for a bread appetizer to come out and was 6:55 pm when our server took our order, we still thought we'd be ok. After getting our food 45 minutes later the experience got worse. We had to scarf down our dinners and were given boxes at 7:55 so forks were down. There was no ask for dessert or after-dinner drinks which we were all looking forward to both. Bill came promptly at 8 pm with no opportunity to get anything else. When the food takes close to an hour then you shouldn't be pushing people out the door. On top of it my shrimp scampi was all pasta and minimal sauce so further disappointment. The rest of the party enjoyed their dinners of bucatini and gnocchi so I must have made a poor choice. The other issue was that the place was so loud we couldn't even hear the conversation across the table. They really need to put some type of facilities in there to damper the sound. Unfortunately the night we were looking forward to was very disappointing and the chance of me going back is pretty slim. read more

DiAnoia's always hits the spot. From the food, drinks and atmosphere you're transported to Italy. The cocktails are fresh and most are made with Italian liqueurs. We had the bread with whipped ricotta. That is always a must for me. The seasonal heirloom tomato tripoline was divine. Super simple ingredients but amazing. Service was friendly and fast. Be sure to make a reservation well in advanced because it's hard to get it... but so worth it! read more

omg this big cutie took me on a date MWAH MWAH but this place was yummy. Gnocchi is very potatoy and thick, honestly should split with someone so its not so dense and overwhelming. Meatballs were yummy. Lowk the best was the tiramisu and the peppers for appetizer and also the free bread. Service was amazing, super nice waiter that kept up with us. the heirloom pasta is a bit watery but honestly the vibes are really cute and will come back on a date here with my wife. On the pricier end, if everytihng was like 5$ cheaper, this woudl be huge. read more

Sorry, have to give this place a 3. It's good, but it's very expensive and we can have similar quality outside the city for half the price. Heat Wave. Was very busy. Lots of odd A/C gadgets that reminded you of Robbie the Robot, stuck between tables. Smelled good. Lots of wine. Upstairs area only had 1 minisplit operating, and some oddball fans that were also turned off. Watched one of the customers turn it on. Was hot. The rest of the restaurant is very loud and that sound was pouring through the cracks in a "barn-style rolling door" in the one corner. My biggest complaints: 1) Bread not really served with the meal. How un-Italian. Yeah they give you some very "moist" spongy tuscan pieces, and a nice olive oil. (4 tiny pieces for 2 people) .. but its just a greasy treat. 2) Their "Sausage" is boring. "Add Sausage" is not like "Add Meatball", we thought we'd get a sausage-in-casing on the side, instead it was slathered onto the pasta. Tasted like sausage I could buy at Wholeys or Giant Eagle. Snore. 3) I doubt they make all of their pastas in house? Maybe I'm wrong but that was basically store-bought rigatoni. For $29 that's laughable. 4) Why the hell would I want to add a bread bowl to anything as the primary gimmick. 5) Got the Negroni. It was better at another place over in Sewickley. They had two rigatoni dishes. I got the one with "red and green grapes" and felt like I was transported to an Olive Garden. I asked for a sausage, not realizing they would crumble pizza sausage all over, turning the dish into a soupy greasy flavorless meal. This cost $38. Girl tried to warn us about that. I forgot I had been here for a corporate event a few years back. Yeah sure the pasta is fine. I didn't pay for it, tasted great. Had I paid $40 for a plate of spaghetti. Meh. Not worth it. Bonus points keeping it from 2 stars: Nice Amaro Menu, unique to the area read more

Came back for dinner after enjoying lunch here previously, and it didn't disappoint! I liked that they had several different mocktail options - I went with the orange spritz, which was refreshing and yummy! For food, we started with the fried artichokes, which were tasty and not too heavy. For my main, I went with the pasta primavera, which was flavorful with amazing (obviously homemade) pasta, though the dish as a whole was a bit on the heavier side (I was glad I chose one of my looser pairs of jeans for this dinner!) The space itself is bright and inviting, with a cheerful, upbeat atmosphere and friendly, attentive servers. It's definitely worth checking out if you're in the mood for some fresh pasta! read more

Visited for lunch on a recommendation before the Heinz museum, which was perfect for a quick choice with counter service. The menu had a great selection, as did the bakery cases near the cashier. We were so impressed with how delicious and authentic all of the dishes, sandwiches, and desserts were. The pork sugo was definitely my favorite!

Delicious and authentic Italian food in Pittsburgh. But of course! Pittsburgh has a great Italian population, so I'd expect nothing short of a meal that tasted like it came straight from a nanas kitchen. We when we first arrived, we were greeted right away. The vibe is more casual than I thought it'd be. The bar was centrally situated so it made for a great sound as cocktails were being shaken. I had a mocktail bc I wasn't feeling great. The service was great. We had crispy Brussels, short rib ragu, cassccere al funghi, some desserrs... all of it was yummy. I definitely want to go back to try more dishes. The menu has so much to offer and other tables seemed to pick additional items worthy of trying. Already looking forward to my next visit. read more

Kelly and I spilt a spaghetti and meatballs and a cacio e pepe. Meatballs were moist and flavorful and the red sauce is a simple San Marzano that allows the meatballs and pasta be the stars. The cacio e pepe sauce was rich and the black pepper cut through the creaminess allowing you to actually taste the fresh pasta. Every bite hit my tastebuds in the same order, creamy, pepper, pasta. An amazing dish! I prefer table service but here you order at the counter and they bring out to you when ready. The ordering and bar area are open to view the kitchen and it has a Tuscan motif. The dining area was a simple setup and you bus your own table when finished. Food is excellent, a little pricey, fitting for a more formal dining experience. read more

One day before grocery shopping in the Strip me and my gal friend stumbled in here without a reservation. We wanted great drinks and great pasta as we heard this place was delish. I went with the Cavolo Nero which was Spaghetti with Kale, Pesto, Roasted Garlic Chili Flakes, Burrata, and Pine Nuts. The pine nuts make this dish perfect because I love the crunch, Also the spicy rainbow carrots were everything! The people were friendly and the service was quick. It's not a place that I'll go often as it got a little pricy quickly but it was a nice treat. read more

The crust was very hard to cut though so we just ate from inside it (maybe that's the normal way?). Lots of pastries options! For breakfast you order at the counter then sit yourself which I actually liked. Pretty place inside. I'll be back for dinner one day! read more

We aren't huge Italian food lovers but we had a gift card and knew this was a popping place haha. We ordered the fresh bread (which was kinda like a pizza crust- prob from their pizza shop next door). It came w olive oil and salt. Their dipping option was ricotta which we don't love and we would have liked to see a garlic oil dipping option. I ordered the cacio e Pepe which I had theirs at a wedding but this was INCREDIBLE. Perfectly buttery and cheesy- truly delicious. My husband got the steak which took a while to cook bc it's a lot of meat and he really enjoyed it. It was cooked perfectly. We tried their chocolate chip cookies bc we don't like the classic Italian desserts and they were eeh- cold and pretty bland so I would definitely skip those. They could also use more salt. But I will be craving the cacio e Pepe and be back soon! Definitely bundle also bc they keep the doors open and only close when everyone around you agrees- and it was cold haha read more

Not much to add beyond all the great reviews.....other than I prefer lunch over dinner. Possibly the best all around sandwich place in the 'Burgh. Breakfast sandwich(I use to be able to get with Lebanon bologna) is one of the best in town. All other sandwiches kill...just pick your favorite. Know that you order up front and then grab a seat.....they are focused on making you awesome food! Even with that the service is friendly and great....they are Italian. read more

Got lucky tonight with no reservation! They said 45 minute wait for 2 spots at the bar, then they had a cancellation so we were sat almost immediately. We both ordered the stuffed shells, but unfortunately they were nearly cold. We did send them back and the staff was very understanding. They sent us free house salads and our new dish was delish, no complaints! Fast service as well! read more

Wow! If you're familiar with the Pittsburgh food scene, you know DiAnoia's is pretty hyped. This was my first time going and it did not disappoint! I got the Heirloom Tomato pasta and added burrata per our waiter's recommendation - it was one of the best pasta dishes I have had in Pittsburgh! We also got the ricotta and bread as an app - absolute must-try. And, we finished off with the tiramisu which was phenomenal. My only complaint is that we dined upstairs and it had a bit of an odd smell - but it wasn't too terrible or anything. Next time I would try and get a reservation on the main level! read more

I'm not super versed in the Pittsburgh area, but I would absolutely recommend DiAnoia's to anyone visiting! The space feels very artsy, maybe even a little hipster but more modern and approachable. I was obsessed with the art on the wall that appeared to be for sale, love that. One caveat to the awesome environment is the main dining area can get pretty loud. The acoustics just carry throughout. Staff were all really great. I arrived a little before the rest of my party but they had no problem seating me. And our waitress gave great recommendations. We started with the whipped ricotta and bread. Super simple, but so delicious. The bread was topped with Parmesan. I decided to pick an after-dinner drink because they had limoncello and I couldn't pass up on it. It was a smaller drink, but it was strong so that was the perfect portion for me. For my entree I had the Shrimp Al Limone which was a huge portion with large shrimp and angel hair. And I couldn't pass up on dessert so I ordered the Panna Cotta which was the perfect end to my meal. read more

The food just wasn't very good compared to other Pittsburgh dining options. The exception was the Sacher Torta. The table service was fine however. Perhaps even more displeasing was the lack of decor. It was like eating in an extended diner along with the noise that comes along with lack of soundproofing.

DiAnoia's is one of those places I keep coming back to. The people are friendly and the dining experience is always seamless. They are a busy place but somehow always manage to fit in an extra table for the night when I am craving a place to eat out or am meeting with friends last minute. The restaurant is cozy and a good family and friends place. Food wise, DiAnoia's is great for those craving classic Italian dishes and comfort food. They also have a nice wine selection. Their menu changes often so there's always new dishes to try. It's nothing too original or extraordinary, but they never disappoint. It really hits the spot when I am looking for Italian food.

Italian food in Pittsburgh that really lives up to the hype! We had a reservation on Saturday night and got sat early which was wonderful. The service was excellent! We started with the fresh bread which came out warm and covered in oil and Parmesan cheese. I would consider the gnocchi and meatballs to be perfect. It was exactly what I expected it to be; the tomato sauce was sweet yet tangy and the gnocchi were soft pillows of joy. I don't typically go for meatballs but these were so good. The rainbow cookie was good, but these tiramisu was some of the most delicious I've ever had! read more

I think I am the last person I know who hasn't been to DiAnoia's so we chose to go to celebrate our anniversary! Good service, though it was almost 10 minutes before anyone came to our server came to our table. We had lovely cocktails - the Godfather and the Rose Spritz. The Rose spritz was like if you combined an amaretto sour with rose, which was sooo good. We had the meatballs and house bread. The meatballs were excellent, as we had been told. For our entrees, we had the veal bolognese and the spicy eggplant rigatoni. Both were good! The spicy eggplant is not that spicy, IMO, and it needed more salt, again IMO. Dessert stole the show. The tiramisu and peach and almond torta were excellent. We don't always do dessert out but it was well worth it. I'm always a little taken aback by prices at some of these Pittsburgh staple places but I do realize everything is in house. The vibe is clean, bistro, much less "fancy" than I was expecting, which I like! I'd like to go back and try their lunch and breakfast offerings. read more

So this location was only about a 10 minute walk from our hotel and we are so glad that we checked…read moreit out. It is a very cozy Italian restaurant that's serving homemade Italian food like your Nonna would make for you. We showed up on a Tuesday night and it was packed. It was around six or 6:30 in the evening and when we first got there, we were told it would be about a 20 minute wait before a two top was available. But the host came back and asked if we didn't mind sitting by the kitchen they could see us right away. We chose to sit by the kitchen, which honestly was probably the best option because it was actually a little bit quieter because there was a very large party that was celebrating a birthday and they had live music going on so it was hard to hear when you were in the main dining space but back by the kitchen it's a little bit quieter and we could actually hear ourselves talk. My husband got the penne with meatballs and the penny was nicely cooked with a beautiful tomato Bass sauce and the meatballs or some of the best Italian meatball he's ever had. His only complaint was that there were only two in the order and he wished there would've been three. I got the spinach and ricotta, stuffed ravioli, and by far one of the best raviolis I've ever had. The ravioli are large so there's only about five in a dish but they're packed fully and the flavoring and seasoning is absolutely spectacular. It's got a beautiful sauce like accompanies it and the chew you can definitely tell it is handmade pasta/ravioli. Our server, Emma was absolutely spectacular and was so kind. We truly enjoyed our experience here and would highly recommend anybody to check it out if you're in the area. But we also do recommend make your reservations ahead of time. This place gets packed quickly.

The waitresses are friendly and have great recommendations. I got to try their linguine rustica (essentially the clam pasta dish), a cappuccino, some cherry soda, and soup of the day, as well as complimentary bread. They got that bread out very quickly! Very soft, and served with quite high quality olive oil. The bottle has both olive oil and balsamic! The soup of the day was quite good as well. It was some sort of beef broth, I think may a beef and bean soup. Chickpeas in there as well. Next time, I might try the salad. The salad they have as a side is so good, an amazing portion and seems so fresh and tasty. The mains were excellent. Very good pasta with clam sauce. Lots of clam meat and a flavorful oil based sauce. My friend had some red penne with chicken and enjoyed that as well. Great portions, pretty fair prices. Finally, great drinks as well. Very memorable cherry cola that I believe the company is owned by the owner's son. Real cane sugar, very good. The cappuccino was great as well. Definitely come here!

Getting a spot in a class is very hard since they are limited to 6-8 people, but if you get the chance I absolutely recommend it. The classes are 2 hours long each and are extremely intimate. Bryan and Justin will meet you at the door and will introduce you to their workshop. There is a spread of antipasto to snack on which was curated very well. Each person gets to make 4 (four!!) dozen raviolis each. The class is extremely informative and fun. I personally haven't ordered any of their ravioli drops before, but from eating the batch I personally made, I know I will in the future.

They are also BYOB, but offer a QR code for a neighboring wine shop who will deliver any bottle you select and pay for via the QR code at your table - This is great because they don't charge a corking fee when you do this, but if you do bring your own, they charge a modest corking fee, I think $8. Their menu is excellent... it's filled with so many appetizing options! We started with their stuffed peppers - OMG, EXCELLENT!! Any time I'm in the Pittsburgh area I need to try a few things, this being one of them. These were probably some of the best I've ever had! The sauce was finely ground and really flavorful. The peppers were perfectly cooked to keep their beauty and texture and they were spicy too! We also requested a large order of their table bread and asked for a side of EVOO with it. I sprinkled grated pecorino and freshly ground red chili flakes into the EVOO to make an incredible dipping sauce which worked perfectly with that bread! For my entrée I enjoyed their amazing Spinach Tagliatelle which came perfectly presented and tasted amazing! The spinach was perfectly cooked to the proper texture and the sauce was so good I didn't mind it having eggplant in it (which I hate). Save room for dessert, their panna cotta was great!

Seated via OpenTable Reservations…read more Food & Drink: - Mixed Drink(s): 5 / 5 Sip of Sunshine Old Fashioned - My server recommended it and I couldn't understand why he called it SOS until I had it. Spoiler: it's not the name. Clean, clear, smells like any other bourbon until that first sip reveals just how perfectly blended it is. The kind of drink you savor while watching the sun set on the horizon. Crème Brûlée Espresso Martini - As my heart rate settled from the first drink I needed something to kick it back up. One sip and I could've read the dictionary cover to cover without blinking. Close your eyes and the aroma takes you straight to that first cup of coffee fresh out of the pot. Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Martini - Beautiful presentation but flatter in flavor than the previous two. However for a final cocktail that was exactly the point -- the perfect calm down after a rich and spicy meal. - Food: 4.25 / 5 Bread, Oil & Dip: A great palate cleanser that quickly taught me the chef loves his spices. The dip was described as "Italian Hummus" and if this is the standard I completely understand the hype. Appetizer - Ceviche Peruviano: Think of that forgotten appetizer thrown together last minute for a dinner party, a hodgepodge of raw fish and vegetables. But every bite delivers an explosion of complementary flavors, and that sneaky hint of spice hiding in the raw fish bites will wake you up immediately. Pre-pasta - Tuscan Kale Salad: Needed something to cleanse my palate after the spicy ceviche and frankly I am tired of Caesar salad. Not a kale fan normally because it tastes like dirt, but the lemon vinaigrette adds just enough flavor to make that dirt genuinely enjoyable. Pasta - Cacio E Pepe: Easily the highlight. My buddy describes it perfectly as fancy fettuccine. I have never liked fettuccine until now. My server, who prepared it himself, recommended adding house chili oil for a slight kick. I went one click past recommended and even then it was still divine. I would order it again without hesitation. Entrée - Veal Chop, Lobster Tail & Vegetables (Chef's preference): After riding Cloud 9 all evening I felt like Icarus flying too close to the sun. One word: bland. The veal was overcooked with all the flavor locked into the fat, and the lobster tail tasted like a convenience store impulse buy. The best use of those bones would be soup stock. I had no desire to finish it. Dessert - Tuxedo Crème Brûlée: As much as I wanted the house raspberry tiramisu I left the choice to my server after some back and forth. He recommended this for its balance of sweetness and berry bitterness and he was right. The perfect final note to tap out on. Service: 10 / 5 Even now, I still don't think I tipped my server enough. Dining alone, he made the evening feel like I had a companion at the table. Great conversation, personalized attention, and a level of service that few will ever experience. It was a pleasure to talk to someone who knows and appreciates food as much as I do. If you want an exceptional dining experience, request AJ as your server. I promise you won't be disappointed. Vibe: 5 / 5 Presentation, presentation, presentation. That is the theme every dish and the environment itself conveys the moment you walk through the doors at Alla Famiglia. This is a place for those who want to feel bourgeois for the night. Overall 4.25 / 5: My goal in life is to become a regular somewhere. There is something special about finding a place you love so much that every visit still feels like a new experience. Alla Famiglia is exactly that type of place. During my visit I was introduced to new items and dishes not listed on the menu, which only adds to that sense of discovery. It may be a while before I return since this place isn't cheap and my restaurant bucket list is long, but I will be back. Hopefully AJ is still there when I do, because that is exactly the kind of server you want in your corner as a regular. Recommend? Absolutely

DiAnoia's was so good that I had to go back for lunch the next day. I split a pizza and two sandwiches with some friends. We sat at the bar. First let me start with the sandwiches. Made on home made bread, who does that??? What a great idea. The veal parm with prosciutto was really good. The veal cutlet breading was like a home made cutlet, not what you typically get on a sandwich. Very good. The prosciutto sounds odd on a parm hero but gives the hero a nice saltiness. We also had the pork with broccoli rabe and hot peppers. If you have ever made the trip to the famous Dinics Pork in Philly, this sandwich is just like that. Really, really good. Now for the pizza. I am from NY and I have been to all the famous pizza places you hear about. Now Im the type that hasn't really come across a pizza I didn't like, but the pizza at DiAnoia's was good. Like really good. I could not believe that this NY style pizza came from an oven in Pittsburgh. The crust was super crispy, well done, with charring all around-just the way it should be! Also, the service was great. It was well paced and we were not rushed at all. We had great real conversations with both very friendly bartenders. They both impressed us with some very nice mixed drinks. My favorite was the iced espresso Based drink I think it was called the Merda. read more

My friend and I recently dined at Dianoia's and embarked on a delightful culinary adventure. We kicked off our meal with two appetizers: the escarole, beans, and sausage, and the nduja cheese & pesto aioli. While the escarole, beans, and sausage dish was bursting with flavor, it leaned slightly towards the salty side for my taste. Conversely, the nduja cheese & pesto aioli was a true delight, boasting a perfect balance of crispness and spices. Moving on to our entrees, we savored the gnocchi bread bowl and the chicken alla bosciolla. While the gnocchi bread bowl made a stunning presentation, its flavor profile leaned towards the standard side. However, the chicken alla bosciolla stole the show with its tender meat and decadent, savory sauce. Overall, our experience at Dianoia's left us with positive impressions. With its inviting ambiance and attentive service, Dianoia's stands out as a top choice for Italian cuisine in Pittsburgh. read more

Realllly great place! I didn't even know this place existed but it was recommended to me twice in one week so I knew we had to check it out. We went with another couple who had previously eaten here and had wonderful things to say about it (and they know food). We started with the Escarole, beans & sausage. Delicious! Just the right amount of flavors and heat. Would definitely order again. We also ordered the cauliflower, ricotta, pine nuts & pesto. Ridiculous. That, along with the fresh bread with oil and parmigiano reggiano, splendid. The bread is made in-house and comes out piping hot and delicious. You cannot go to DiAnoia's and not get the bread. You just can't. And one of the best cacao e pepe I've had. Really, this place is solid. A great place to go for a date or the whole family. It really suits anyone and everyone. If you like food (good food), go eat here. read more

The inside of the restaurant was super cool and I love how it had a deli and coffee bar located inside, as well. I made reservations 2 or 3 weeks in advance for a table. I had to get the Sorrento style gnocchi bread bowl. This was a huge meal that I ate for about 2 days straight. I wish there was an option to get the Sorrento style gnocchi without the bread bowl. I also ordered the Zepoles, which were made fresh and worth waiting for them to come out! However, when my mom recently called to make reservations a for a few months later, the lady on the phone was extremely rude. She made it seem like our business was not worth it and that reservations mean nothing to them because they get so busy as it is. This has deterred me from going there again because it shows that the employees don't care about the customers they are serving. read more

Finally made my way to the strip to check out this authentic Italian gem. A small group of four of us made a reservation on a weeknight and were sat almost immediately upon arriving. We started with some waters and bread while we looked over the menu, a bit overwhelmed by just the wine options alone. Our server suggested choosing our meals before drinks so that he could make suggestions that would compliment well. Everything he suggested was spot on. All four of us ordered something different and received a perfect drink pairing. The food was by far some of the best Italian in the city. I absolutely need the recipe for the gnocchi and meatballs because nothing else will ever compare now. Highly, highly recommend checking this place out. Just beware of the check at the end of the night if you have a nut allergy. read more
