    Green & beans

    Went on a Saturday dinner night. The Greens and Beans with Italian sausage appetizer is delicious. For the main course, the stuffed salmon with crab meat was perfect. The hand made ravioli with meat sauce was expertly flavored. For dessert the pecan roll ice cream with warm butterscotch and chocolate fudge was decadent, and the cinnamon cheesecake was the perfect ending for this Italian meal. This was our first visit but it will Definitely not be our last!

    Caprese Salad

    Still a favorite! Every time I dine here, it is always delicious ! Special this time was a filet, Oscar style .... cooked to perfection! Of course, I also had to have the bow tie pasta with salmon, can't get enough!

    Side salad

    Wow.. how have I lived in the area so long and never been here? I can't remember the last time I went to a restaurant and couldn't decide on what to order because everything looked SO GREAT. in addition to the super fresh food- the wine was a large portion, and was super cold (yelp 5 star). The waitstaff was kind, and on top of everything. Prices are low compared to other similar restaurants in the area, portions are much larger.. and entrees come with a side and soup/salad. You get your money's worth! We sat outside on the patio and it was great. I would highly recommend this restaurant!!!!

    Greens and beans
    Denise W.

    The service was excellent and I really enjoyed the beans and greens. The stuffed banana peppers are really spicy.

    Meat and cheese ravioli with meat sauce.

    High quality Italian food with great service at reasonable prices. It's a great combination! Well made Caesar salad, homemade pasta dishes. Excellent dessert specials. Tonight's was a lovely seasonal pumpkin cheesecake that was tasty and not too heavy. Always an excellent experience here!

    I love Franco's. I'm sad they aren't open on Saturday Daytime. I love their meatballs and steak.

    Still no apologies from Franco restaurant. I guess they don't need my business. I ate at Bella restaurant and it was great.

    Let's eat together & celebrate my MIL's birthday…read more A little slice of Italy in McMurray South Hills of Pittsburgh. Craft cocktails (OMG...the SPRITZ options) & artisan wines meet an ever-changing Italian menu, all served in an effortlessly upscale setting. Perfect for date night, birthdays, or any special occasion. Pro tip: If you're celebrating, let them know!!! They'll add the guest of honor's name to the menu and the chalkboard above the kitchen. It is such a thoughtful, personal touch. Wine pick: a bottle of Zenato Valpolicella Ripassa (a must if you love red) What I ordered: smoked provolone, casa salad, cacio e pepe, chicken piccata Finished with a birthday chocolate cake...absolutely delicious Save this spot for your next celebration! Enjoy

    3.5 stars. Long, detailed review... Arlecchino Ristorante is a casual-elegant Italian restaurant…read morethat is uniquely inside a one-room schoolhouse that was built in 1907. This restaurant is open for dinner and catering for dining in and takeout. It has many of the same menu items as its excellent sister restaurant Alla Famiglia. Each meal includes bread and oil, optional appetizers (e.g., meatball and mussels diavolo), a first course of salad and pasta, the chosen main course (e.g., chicken marsala, cacciatore, veal chop, and filet mignon), and then if desired dessert. Alcoholic beverages (e.g., cocktails, wines, and beers) are also available. For my husband's and my wedding anniversary, I made a reservation for Arlecchino through OpenTable. We arrived shortly after they opened for the day. Our first impressions: Valet was required for our vehicle. We felt interested in seeing the exterior and remodeled interior of the schoolhouse. Most of the restaurant was empty then, but the seating hostess took us to the worst table--the smallest table inches from the front door. I requested a different table, and she then gave us a much better one. OpenTable had said that the dress code was business casual, but other customers wore casual clothes, and a hostess wore shorts and a baggy sweatshirt hoodie. Our names were written on a chalkboard above the kitchen and on my menu but not my husband's menu. Our waiter provided timely service and spoke courteously with us. (If you are wondering how to pronounce the restaurant's name, he told me something like are-lee-kee-no or our-lee-key-no.) Here are my ratings for what my husband and I ate: Autumn Spritz - 4 stars - This spritz contained apple cider, Marie Brizard Apry, prosecco, and soda, and I liked its flavors. Smoked Provolone - 2 stars - Smoked provolone was topped with black truffles and arugula. Neither my husband nor I liked this appetizer. I took two bites, and he tried to eat half. Casa Salad - 4.5 stars - This salad consisted of mixed greens, roasted peppers, raisins, walnuts, olives, gorgonzola, and slightly too much vinaigrette. Caesar Salad - 4.5 stars - My husband ate this salad, and he said that it was his favorite food in the entire meal. Cavatappi Alla Vodka - 4 stars - My husband ate this pasta, and I took one bite, and I thought that it tasted good. Cacio E Pepe - 4 stars - Months ago at Alla Famiglia, we loved the locatelli romano cheese wheel at the tableside, so we felt excited to try it at Arlecchino. The waiter definitely mixed the linguini, cream, oil, and pepper in the cheese wheel. This cacio e pepe tasted good but not as great as what we remember from Alla Famiglia. Halibut - 3.5 stars - My main course was this special menu item. The halibut tasted bland but was served with black-tiger shrimp, carrots, tomatoes, zucchini, cauliflower, and butternut squash that added some nice flavors. I did not know the price for this fish until I saw the bill, and it was $72. Veal monzu - 4 stars - The veal was nicely breaded and fried and topped with mozzarella, jumbo lump blue crab, pine nuts, and lemon butter. My husband ate it, and my one taste-test bite indicated that it was flavorful. My husband was not interested in trying dessert, so we skipped it. Our total bill was $178 plus tax, tip, and a credit-card surcharge. Comparatively, I think that Alla Famiglia has significantly better food, but Arlecchino is worth a try.
