Great food and customer service. Seemed to have a large take out business. But we enjoyed everything.

The food is always so good and the staff is so friendly. We love the restaurant so much.

Always excellent service. Food is top notch as well. Acoustics can be a bit of a challenge. Highly recommend!

First off please bring CASH. No cards are accepted so that gives you an idea how old school Italian this magnificent joint is. From hand rolled gnocchi to spaghetti & a meatball or veal/chicken parm. Or get a sampler plate. Please start with a insalata cheese salad with house Italian dressing. Man I love eating here when I can. read more

Godly Gnocchis I will say please try this you wont regret makes me want to sing in a choir with angels

We found La Eda's to be a small Italian restaurant with a nice menu, wonderful food, and a great staff. The stained glass windows and chandelier's were marvelous. The prices were very reasonable, but you will need cash, no credit cards. Well worth a small bit of extra effort to find them. Mangia! read more

Had a pretty decent first experience here when we went. Really enjoyed the appetizers of the pepperoni rolls and fried zucchini. For dinners, we tried the Veal Parm and a Tuna Salad Croissant with fries. The veal parm was pretty good. It was a little thick, and needed to be pounded down a bit, but it was good. The Tuna salad was generous on the croissant. The fries were a normal frozen crinkle cut. Our kids tried a Fried Fish sandwich (adult portion), and regular pasta dishes. There was nothing left of the fish sandwich, as my daughter loved it. The pasta dishes were also a hit. Service was okay. Our waitress was very, very nice, but a bit forgetful. We had to ask for a few things a few times (like the bread and butter, my soup, the fries for the sandwich...), but she was very nice. They were a bit busy, so we'd give her a little lee way. We would go back and try something new. read more

My family had a post-funeral lunch at La Eda's on a Friday around 11:30. We had a majority of the dining room filled, but other customers were still able to eat. They offered a mini menu for us to order from. My boyfriend and I both ordered ravioli, mine cheese and his meat, and salads. My niece ordered the Italian Wedding Soup. Our salads had their house dressing and wasn't too bad, but I am typically a ranch girl. I wasn't too fond of my ravioli, but Andrew loved his. I saw the chicken Parmesan plates were massive! Dessert was keystone cake that we had provided ourselves! Overall, we had a nice experience and it was nice to find a place to host my large (25+) family. read more

Best perogi for an Italian restaurant ever... all food good, but perogies are the best... just like Ba-Ba used to make!

I have always loved LaEda's since I was young. I have gotten takeout from there for many years. Their quality has gone down hill. One of the last times I ordered take out, my pasta had little to no sauce. I called to complain, and the response I got was, "You should have ordered extra sauce." My ravioli was dry, and it was not as it should have been. Fast forward to today. All I wanted was a small salad to go. I ordered cheese, beets and onions. When she told me the price, $9.31, I was baffled. They charged me $1.00 for those said items. I questioned the price, and she said everything went up. Now, everyone that had eaten at LaEda's knows their salad is so die for, so I paid for it, and walked away. Almost $10 for a small salad? You all know how small that salad is... read more

This place has the best ravioli's! I also love their house dressing. It is an oil and vinegar blend that is tasty. The appetizers are huge! The prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you get and the quality of the homemade dishes. It is cash only though! I travel about an hour to come here sometimes and it is well worth it. read more

This place is, hands down, one of the best places to eat in the MonValley. You can dine in the bar area, or the dining room. Both of which are always clean, with nice lighting. The food alone merits a 5 star rating. They make everything homemade. Picture a bunch of Italian grandmas tearing it up in the kitchen. They serve a sweeter sauce, that you can taste hints of garlic in the first bite. It's seasoned to perfection. I get the gnocchi/cheese rav half and half. Even the cheese mixture in the ravioli stands out. And don't you forget a salad with house dressing to prep you for your Italian feast, whatever you choose. This place is always packed for dinner, so if you come around that time, be patient. I promise it's worth the wait. My daughter and I snagged the last little table by the bar. I think it's actually where they keep the takeout orders, but they let us sit there and cleaned it real quick. Service was superb. Even though it was a full house, the food was still piping hot and came out in a timely fashion. We love La Eda's!! And highly recommend it! read more

I had the lasagna tonight. It was a generous portion and really good. I had the cheese sticks as an appetizer. The waitress was really nice. I'll be going here again. read more

Excellent Pizza. It has a great crust and is a little on the thick side with a hint of garlic. Pro Tip: Order the pizza before you get to the restaurant. The pizza takes a long time to cook (45 - 60 mins). We usually order the delicious dinners and then take the pizza home for later. Cash Only. read more

Did nothing for me. Small portions snd overpriced just ok in my book. Was wuietbinside but

I loveeee La Eda's. Their pizza is so good! Their salads are good. I never been disappointed in their food. Absolutely amazing. The employees are so nice! Love the atmosphere of the place. Nice vibes all around. Their pizza sauce or sauce in general is really good definitely a must try and definitely an all time favorite read more

Probably my favorite little Italian spot in the valley. As hard as I try, I rarely order anything other then the meat ravioli. I've had the gnocchi and pizza before, both are excellent as well. I love the salad with house dressing and cheese. I think I could live on that alone. The place is family owned and run. Old fashioned, nostalgic decor runs throughout the building. Cash only, hit up the ATM before dining. You'll love the food and ambiance! read more

Bread was good and food was typical. Service was very good. People were very friendly.

I just love their salad. It is so simple and so good! However, the rest of the menu leaves a lot to be desired for. The lasagna is just a step above the grocery store frozen variety, only due to the incorporation of the La Eda's tomato sauce. It tasted like a frozen lasagna from Sysco that was reheated and topped with good tomato sauce and a lot of cheese. The pizza was terrible. It tasted like a frozen crust that was dethawed and had crappy toppings added to it. Not good. Huge portions, cheap prices. Shitty food read more

Fair prices. Really good Italian comfort food with all the classics. It definitely has the local bar/restaurant vibes. Very relaxed and a comfortable place to eat tasty food and watch the game. The staff is always friendly. But fair warning they only accept cash or check. read more

An Italian restaurant that blows most out of the water. Even the house salad is pure perfection with the proper amount of cheese topping it. The wedding soup is some of the best I've ever had. Homemade pasta and deliciously sweet red sauce. The gnocchi are actually homemade and not gross and frozen like some places. Gnocchi are my all time fave pasta dish and I expect nothing short of amazing when ordering out. Here they exceed amazing. read more

Great food and a good value. The ambience is quaint and somewhat art deco. Peers to be something from the 1940s or 50s. Very cool. Service is great but they can get a little behind and they don't mind if you stand up and go fill your own coffee:-) love this place. read more

We had a large party on Mother's Day. Despite being very busy, the service was fantastic and the food was delicious.

The consensus in Monessen is that you either love La Eda's or you hate it, mainly because they have a very sweet sauce. I happen to love sweet sauce so this place is one of my absolute favorites for Italian. It's just difficult making the 50 minute drive from Pittsburgh. If you're in the Mon Valley area and love a sweet pasta sauce, you've got to stop in La Eda's. The food is simple, but sometimes, that's all you need. My favorite is the meat raviolis, which are made in-house. Accompany it with their house salad and house dressing. Their salad is simple with light toppings, but they top it with a mountain of mozzarella. The pricing is so affordable too. I would give La Eda's 4.5 stars, mainly for the cash only factor, and the service can be inconsistent. Otherwise, the food is 5 stars. read more

Both me and my wife arrived and waited several minutes to finally see a hostess/waitress seat us. Upon her grabbing two menus, leading us to our table, dropping the menus to the table (with her back turned and walking away), we weren't sure how to think about the experience. After waiting for someone to bring bread, water, or to take out drink orders we both felt it was best to leave. We aren't going to beg someone to take our money - which needs to be cash because they don't take cards. TLDR: Poor service by slow/unfriendly people - go elsewhere. read more

Extremely disappointed! I heard fantastic things about this restaurant from coworkers. We all decided to order lunch from there today and was told it would be ready by noon. When I got there, it wasn't ready and I had to wait an extra 20 minutes. The man behind the bar was not happy that we placed a take-out order and when he brought me out my order, they had forgotten my dish. It said on the menu that bread and butter would be provided upon request, but it wasn't. When I got back to work to eat, I noticed how oily the sauce was. The dish was completely unappetizing and I didn't even eat a quarter of it. The rest went in the trash. All in all, I wouldn't go back. Waste of money. read more

A timeless classic. We make it a point to go here whenever we visit home. I had the pleasure of doing so this past weekend and it was just as I had always remembered. The salad (with cheese) and beef ravioli are second to none. read more

My husband and I had dinner here last night, to say it wasn't good would be an understatement. We started off with fried mushrooms and calamari. They were both burnt and hard. The portion size was small. For $9.00 I was expecting more than about 15 pieces of burnt, chewy calamari. As for the main course, if you order a dinner it doesn't come with salad that has to be purchased separately. Also it only comes with lettuce, tomatoes and olives. All other vegetables or cheese has to be bought separately $1.00 a piece. My husband and I both ordered the chicken parm for $17.00. When it arrived it was 2 frozen chicken patties and over cooked pasta. I ate 2 bites of pasta and one bite of chicken. My husband didn't eat much more than that. Both dinners were taken home and fed to the dogs. Lesson learned, $70. Paid for dog food. They only got 1 star because I couldn't post without giving them at least that. read more

Great bar and good Italian food. Reasonable pricing and quick. Will definitely return.

I've been coming to La Eda's all my life. I left the area for 30+ years and recently returned. It hasn't changed a bit -- in a good way! It still is hands down the BEST Italian food I've ever had!!! And that's saying something because I've had Italian food in South Philadelphia, Little Italy in New York City, Little Italy in Baltimore, the Italian Club in Las Vegas, and hundreds of other Italian restaurants around the country. Portion sizes here are amazing and the prices are fair for what you get. The Gnocchi and Cheese Ravioli "half and half" is to die for! The service is excellent, including some servers who were there 30 years ago. I've never had a bad meal here. It's always the same, perfect! Do yourself a favor, experience La Eda's now because you never know in the run down Mon Valley...it could become the next great place that is here today and gone tomorrow like so many other great businesses from previously here. read more

What amazing find thanks to Yelp! As soon as I saw a picture of their ravioli, I knew this place would be great. My wife is from New Castle, PA and their Italian food is amazing. We live in Canonsburg and have always had a hard time finding good Italian food nearby (other than Pasta Too in Bethel Park, which is excellent). La Eda's is that place. Authentic. Everything is homemade and their sauce is really good. It's a sweet sauce and that's what we like. Their ravioli's are made onsite by Italian grandmothers and it tastes like it. My wife got the gnocchi and loved that, too. Be sure to get a meatball with your order, they are excellent. The zucchini appetizer was REALLY good, too! Washed everything down with a glass of Lambrusco, what more could you ask for? Service was super friendly, we were so happy that we found this place and will be back soon. This is an amazing Italian restaurant! Only thing I didn't like was cash only, but that's fine. Just plan ahead. Our meal with a glass of wine each and an appetizer was like 50 bucks, excluding tip. read more
