    Garden Salad (meh) w/ house Italian (meh)
    Trish T.

    Easily some of the best pizza we've had yet in Pittsburgh. I'm not a big meat eater, but we just had to try the meatball pizza. It was EXCELLENT. Thin-ish, crispy crust with torn up pieces of meatball scattered generously over the pie which was dotted (with a piping bag??) beautifully with lots of ricotta. Their provolone mozz mix is perfect. Wow. Truly good. Our grand kids got a cheese pie and the 5-year old smacked his lips and announced (which never happens), "This is good pizza!" Our only meh was the garden salad. Iceberg lettuce ‍- 'nuff said. Eesh. The service is excellent - promptly answering the phone with such a friendly manner - even though they are hoppin busy. The takeout-only (or delivery) place isn't much to look at inside - but who cares! It's all about a big kitchen slinging out fantastic pizza. Can't wait to go back.

    They're actually part of Mama's meatball pizzeria, but has a whole separate wing dedicated to ice cream. I appreciate that they took their time to put together my sundae for me. I got the strawberry shortcake sundae, and it was quite yummy. They had a layer of white cake on the bottom. It was a bit spongy for my taste, but everything else tasted so good! You can tell people that come here are regulars. There were a few tables outside. The staff even checked on us while we ate to make sure everything was satisfactory. My friend got the hot fudge brownie sundae but substituted the hot fudge with peanut butter drizzle. It looked really good! I will definitely come back and try that next time.

    This pizza shop is close and we hadn't had their pizza in a long time. We like Sicilian pizza. I wasn't impressed with theirs, we tried the meat lovers, we should have started off simply. I do recommend this for those that like meat lover the meat was plentiful. I really like the cheese steak with extra meat I do highly recommend that item !!!

    Talk about an amazing Mom and Pop find!! My daughter is up here for school and we wanted a no nonsense place. Found it! From our fried Zucchini to the Mamas Meatball pizza; we ordered 2 fresh made desserts that will have to come home with us! Cause wow! I am so happy I found this amazing gem!!

    The food was really tasty and the portions were quite large. Good size menu with quality options. The food is a little on the expensive side, though, especially when compared to other local options. I tried their plain cheese calzone and chocolate mousse cake. One thing I really appreciate is that they allow you to add on dessert (which changes from day to day) to a delivery order over the phone. The process was pretty smooth and the employees were quite friendly. My calzone was almost $17. This is more than most other places I visit, and a significant amount more than Shelly Pie (you can get a massive Shellzone and a dessert for the price of just a calzone at Mama Meatball's). Other than that, it was a great calzone. There was plenty of cheese, both ricotta and provolone (not sure if they used mozzarella). There wasn't any sauce served on the side or on the inside (I'd have liked a $17 calzone to at least come with sauce, which Shelly's comes with a whole cup full of delicious sauce). The dessert was pretty decent. Again, on the pricier end, but it was homemade and tasty. The chocolate cake was moist and the mousse was flavorful. I just didn't find it amazing. They also have ice cream and brownies. All in all, the food is tasty. But, ultimately (and even though portions are large) the price is just a bit too high. Shelly's makes similar food at much cheaper prices, and probably bigger portions. Still good calzone and dessert, though.

    We order pizza nearly every Friday and to change things up, I love a good cheeseburger pizza. Mama meatball didn't disappoint. I ordered a thin crust mama jo cheeseburger pizza. The base is thousand island. It was loaded with cheese, beef, pickles, lettuce and tomato. We also tried their steak and cheese hoagie. It was quite tasty and served with fresh lettuce, tomato and onion.

    This hidden gem must be kept a secret! My parents recommended this restaurant after someone took…read morethem here for dinner. The restaurant is located in their old warehouse where they originally just made the noodles. Now they do everything here! So the industrial chic vibes are off the charts. The food is even better. WARNING: you will not finish everything. And that's okay, it's meant to be like this. Be prepared to take leftovers and enjoy them the next day. I highly recommend getting a charcuterie board, burrata, burrino, or really any appetizer especially the cheesy bread. My main entree: Tagliolini had jumbo lump crab meat. It tasted even better the next day! The wine was divine. We'd probably eat here more often if it wasn't so far away.

Simply fantastic, with house-made pasta and real traditional dishes. I had the ricotta gnocchi with short rib ragu off the regular menu, and it's changed my life. Sooooo good... My wife had one of the nightly specials - shrimp and crab ravioli in a gruyère cheese cream sauce. She loved it. Finally, my mother-in-law had the bruco...perfect. You simply can't beat the food here, and you get a ton of it. Do not fill up on the bread before your entree arrives, because the portion sizes are HUGE. I got another full meal out of mine the next day, and it was just like raiding an Italian grandma's fridge. My wife got a two leftover meals from hers. I'm sure the apps and deserts are equally as good, but I can't see ordering one knowing that a giant plate of hot pasta is on the way. The wine list is very basic, and I honestly don't know what brand of red blend they brought me, but it was very good anyway. It's kind of quaint in the face of so many other places flexing huge lists while their food is boring. They also have a full bar and several specialty cocktails. My wife enjoyed her watermelon something-or-other. At the end of the meal they serve complimentary limoncello and the tiniest little almond cookies. Very nice. Okay, so why am I giving them a 4? Two reasons- location and service. If you don't already know where Cenacolo is located, good luck finding it. It's tucked away in the middle of a residential area in what looks like a mostly vacant mixed office and light industrial complex, and they share a long approach with a postal sorting facility. It's pretty well hidden, and GPS will have trouble getting you there. Once you do find it, the interior is very dated and well worn. It feels like a basement and could use a refresh. The second issue we had was slow service. We were seated quickly and our waitress took our drink order, but after that we spent a lot of time waiting for things and trying to get her attention. She also looked like she had just worked a double shift in the kitchen, with her all black outfit covered with stains and flour. It was a bit off-putting. Regardless, I'll be back again soon and often. This place is great, and the food far outweighs any negatives.

The interior has an overall modern feel and tables are well spaced out so you don't feel overcrowded. Portions are generally really large (which is great, because food is pretty pricey). I've been able to make two or three meals out of one entree here. Overall, service is pretty good but can be hit or miss. There was one day that I think they must have been having an off night because everyone seemed crazy stressed and very short with us when questions were asked. I was pleasantly surprised at how nice the side salad was. It was a great balance/mix of ingredients with delicious dressing. My main entree (Strozzapretti) was tasty but a bit seemed like there was a bit too much grease/oil or something that made the dish seem heavier than it needed to be. In general, a tasty place but could improve if service was more consistent.
