I've been wanting to try this place and finally got the opportunity today. The restaurant is very quaint and has that hometown feel. We were greeted and seated as soon as we arrived. I ordered the special which was a hot roast beef sandwich with mashed potatoes. The portions were huge! I couldn't resist getting a piece of their turtle cheesecake to go. Everything was delicious! read more

We average a visit to Lenzi's about once a week. Food is always great. Service is outstanding. Not just the delivery., bit its the little things they do. Like suggesting we split an order as we aren't big eaters. Also, a week ago (they know we love their homemade Mushroom soup, were driving along & get a phone call herring us know they have mushroom soup today. We immedeatly turned around &;headed to Lenzis. I also found my new favorite dish. Meat & spinach ravioli. Best restaurant around. read more

Quaint italian restaurant with large portions of comfort classics. The dining room was full service and the lunch crowd turned out the day I was there. I ordered the chicken parmesan with penne for lunch $14 came with side soup or salad and bread. It was more than enough for two lunches for me. The leftovers the next day tasted great! My friends ordered dessert to-go, they could not pass up trying the tiramisu and the strawberry pretzel cake. I don't know how I resisted. Really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Hope to stop by again soon. read more

Travel from Mount Pleasant to Monongahela once a week for dinner at this Restaurant. Waitresses are fantastic. Very professional and attentive. The food is exceptional not only in portion size but quality and taste. Would definitely recommend. read more

Absolutely love this restaurant. A shining star for the area. Truly homemade Italian food with great quality, fair prices and enormous portion sizes. It is very, very small inside, so you need to plan out when you go. The wait times to get a seat, however, don't take too long. While everything is fresh, they are very quick with their food and do a good job at being prepped and prepared, so the tables turn over rather quickly. Highly recommend anything they have. You won't be disappointed. My usual go-to's here are any of their soups, their Chicken Marsala, Rigatoni with meat sauce, and their newer steak specials. Ridiculously good steaks--to the extent that you would find in an upper, upper-end steak place. Desserts are phenomenal. Homemade cakes, pies, and now, cannoli's. Would recommend them to anyone! read more

Great food. Pasta and sauce is wonderful! Friendly waitresses. Friendly atmosphere.

Been back in area lately and stopped in. Place has been updated and looks nice. Still not enough seating and counter now gone so even less seating so there's usually a wait. But food still good. Prices have gone way up and would be kinda ridiculous if the portions weren't so fair but some entree's are skimpy and definitely overpriced especially for a diner. Appetizers are overpriced. And some of their sides have been cut in half since the last time I was there but the price has gone up. The menu in general hasn't changed at all. Overall the food is good it's just hard-to-swallow dumping close to $100 for lunch for 2 with appetizers and soup in a diner. Especially when the waitress was downright rude and mean and acted like she was doing you some big favor by waiting on you. Hey I'll walk up and get my own food and take it back to my table if I can keep your tip. Self-service. read more

Excellent Italian food! The staff is attentive, quick, and very friendly. We had the tiramisu for dessert during our last visit and it was absolutely incredible! I've never had a bad experience here. The seating is limited but be patient, it is worth the wait! read more

The best food around! Everything on the menu is terrific! Have never been disappointed. The burgers are the best I've ever had. The mushroom/provolone is my absolute favorite. to be able to cook a burger completely, and for it to still be juicy, is an art in itself! The strawberry pretzel dessert pie Also love the meat/spinach ravioli! Love the fact you can get pickled beets. (A rarity) Service is always terrific here! All around! read more

This is a combination of two reviews as I did not enjoy our meal; my wife did. The restaurant has the atmosphere of a diner. It has about five booths and a few tables. We were seated in a comfortable booth. The napkins are paper. There are no frills here. I had a salad, zucchini planks, veal parmesan, spaghetti, and garlic bread. Soup should have been available as the menu states "soup or salad" comes with entrees, but there was no soup. I found my food to be bland and the spaghetti overcooked. The sauce was ordinary. The zucchini was nothing special. It reminded me of what I have received at some other mediocre restaurants. My wife had a salad, zucchini, three-dish sampler consisting of veal parmesan, cheese-stuffed tortellini, and cheese-stuffed ravioli. She enjoyed everything she had. Three individuals were responsible for serving us at various points. They all did a good job. Our main server was particularly attentive, friendly, and ensured that everything was satisfactory. Our meal came to $55+ without gratuity. It is not a place where I would elect to spend that amount of money, but we may return. read more

This place is the Bomb!!!! Food is excellent and the owner is so welcoming. We love the pasta. The food comes out piping hot and the platter is filled from end to end. The servings are huge. You have to take the leftovers home. The place is clean and well decorated. Great place with great food. read more

OMG! They are awesome. The taste, quality and quantity of food is delicious. The bake goods are out of this world. Cannot wait to sit back inside the restaurant. Dana V read more

So this is an old school Italian diner, and that is cool. It's tiny, dingy, and the door constantly opens and closes with a loud noise resonating throughout the customer dining area because the spring hasn't been reset in quite some time. In that respect, it's quite nostalgic. But then there's the food - not nostalgic in the least. The chicken Parmesan was clearly a freezer to fryer version of the lowest quality. The inside of the "chicken" was clearly a preformed mystery protein mix akin to the chicken McNugget. It smelled bad, it tasted greasy in the wrong way, and I regretted eating it. The sauce was great though - apparently they haven't gone Sysco on that yet. Huge portions, cheap prices, gross food. Just another Mon Valley "gem"! read more

They have really good wedding soup and Italian food. The cakes are so pretty and delicious. We need to order some soup soon. Haven't had it in quite awhile. read more

Can't believe I haven't stopped here before. I stopped for takeout. We had three kinds of ravioli, a couple nice salads, soup and garlic bread. Excellent quality food. I am thoroughly impressed. The food was excellent, staff was polite, and there's a lot of food for a very reasonable price. I will be back. read more

Awesome family restaurant where service is number one and the food is delicious. The serving sizes are beyond compare and prices reasonable for the service and amount of food. Cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough, you will not be disappointed. read more

This restaurant is located behind a main road in the town of Monongahela. We were in the area for a funeral. Lenzis has been in the same location since the 1940's and in the same family. Very cool we thought. The restaurant is small (about ten booths /tables total). Staff are friendly as they tell you to wait outside or in your car until a table is open. There are many people coming in for take out. Our meals were prompt and satisfactory. I would not drive here for this restaurant since besides the desserts- which are dramatically layered and large- the food was not special. We sampled fried zucchini, salads, homemade soup, pasta, meatballs and a chocolate and peanut butter pie. Their sauce is chunky. One of our group had leftovers and chose to thin the sauce with water. There are typically about ten desserts on offer. I thought for the quality and amount the prices were high. We certainly wish them well and if in the area will sample a fish sandwich (which looked good)... read more

Large Lunch portions, food is fabulous! Friendly service.. We will be back to try more things on the menu.. Bring your appetite! read more

The local winery raved about this place. I finally had to try it out. It was disappointing that it was just ok. I expected a hidden gem near my house. :( It was ok. read more

Great place. Enjoy diner all the time there! Would highly reccomend trying! Just watch timing!

Soooooooo good!! But closed Sunday and Monday :( You get either unlimited buttered bread or garlic bread with every meal. Definitely get the garlic bread!!!!! The pastas are perfectly cooked and the sauce is amazing. I got the duo of lobster ravioli and gnocchi. My boyfriend got the 16oz cheeseburger to which I exclaimed "holy ****" when it arrived lol it looked like something you'd see as a "challenge" to finish at some restaurants. I love living minutes from here :) read more

Food was excellent, unfortunately the service was amiss. Although the dining room is small and as soon as I stepped in the door I was literally standing above seated guest, I didn't expect to be greeted by staff yelling "what you want!" from the kitchen area. I'm use to a more sophisticated environment. Short and skinny we are left with one of those situations were rude behavior "trumps" great food. read more

Amazing food and friendly service. Too full to finish our dinners so we packed them up and got desserts to go. Will most definitely be back for another family dinner. read more

Anyone that goes to this restaurant better have a big appetite! Their portions are huge! Everything is so very fresh, their meatballs are big and are the best I've ever tasted.., so much so that they make a meal that you can order from them! Only drawbacks is that their staff i gather is family and they are not too friendly. So maybe order takeout. They also have the biggest hamburgers ever! I just can't not order the great tasting pasta to get a hamburger, so maybe I will order one to go! Parking is very, very, limited, so get their early! Remember, friendliness equals a good tip wait staff if you are reading this. The customers are the reason you are there. read more

Double standard We had a party of 4 - they wouldn't seat us until we were all there- so two waited at the counter until the other came within minutes - in the meantime two individuals came in and they sat them at a table - then being ignored at the counter we decided to leave - when I called to complain they stated that the reason the she was seated is because she ordered for her party. We were not given that option and she was not ordering until we were leaving Haven't been there for awhile - certainly will be a while before I would consider going back - I'm sure they don't care but if they keep treating people meanly it will catch up to them read more

This is a little treasure in the Mon Valley region. Everything here is homemade! My favorite is the gnocchi. Make sure you come early because it goes fast! It's a family-owned business and well-known in the community. If you're looking to support a 5 generation family business then come here and get a plate of food made with tradition and love. Also, get a slice of homemade pie! Any kind you wont be disappointed! read more

I had a great dinner. I had the veal with spaghetti and a meatball and varlic bread. They give you 2 nicely breaded veal patties and a nice pile of spaghetti. The garlic bread isn't overly garlicky. Everything is made in house. You won't leave hungry. The place is family run and everyone is very friendly. read more

I love this place. Make sure you leave room for dessert. Ordering a dinner gets you a few meals - big portions.

This family owned gem is definitely a must stop if you're nearby. Take out or dine in the food is consistent. When you enter this small but very charming restaurant you will be greeted by one of the family members that run the place. All of the people working are beyond friendly and have that small town charm you can't find anywhere anymore. I usually order a salad with either chicken or shrimp that always has fries on it, you're in Pittsburgh how can't you have fries?!? All of the food however is solid from the Italian dishes to the sandwiches to the burgers. It never disappoints!!! The prices are reasonable and the portions are generous. If you have room for desert or just need to order a cake for an occasion; the cakes are out of this worlds. Classic looking but full of flavor!! Overall it's a staple in monongahela and one of the best places around in my book. read more

I agree with folks who say this is a hidden gem in the Monongahela Valley. My wife and her family have been going here for years, but I only visited myself just recently. The portions are beyond generous. You'll take a doggy bag home with and have enough for a meal the next day. The pastas are very good, particularly the gnocchi, which seems to be famous. I think they serve the best meatballs I've ever eaten anywhere. The desserts are all homemade and equally enormous. They seem to have a takeout business every bit as large as the sit-down dining business. That's good, because they only have about a dozen tables in the place. read more
