    Wedding soup

    Decent food and good service. I'm partial to the Monte Cellos on Babcock (different owner), but this was almost as good.. service was good. Ambiance was "meh."

    Still a really good restaurant with friendly service and delicious food. The wedding soup hasn't changed. It's one of my favorites in the area. They got rid of my favorite meal on the menu (manicotti), but they have shells stuffed with cheese, which is very similar. Going there with someone in a walker is a bit difficult and I can't imagine dealing with a wheelchair there. There are stairs on one side of the entrance and a curb on the other. If they have a ramp anywhere, I've never seen it.

    First time here and this place is amazing. A little overwhelming with the large menu and being so busy but they got us right in on a Friday night. The pizza, stuffed banana peppers and fried zucchini were all great. Not much of an ambiance and The hustle and bustle was a bit much but we will be back.

    I agree with the current average of 3.5 stars. Monte Cello's is a local chain restaurant that serves mostly Italian foods. I had previously rated the location in Ross Township as 5 stars, so I felt excited to try this location in Cranberry Township. Upon my entering the restaurant, I saw a few employees standing near the door. The seating hostess walked my husband and me back to a booth. My seat had crumbs on it from a previous customer, and my husband and I both commented that our seats felt hard rather than comfortable. Our waitress soon arrived and gave us menus to look at. I felt disappointed that the menu for this location did not list some foods from the menu for Ross. For example, this menu did not have entrees such as shrimp scampi or sides such as breadsticks. The menu listed several entrees, but it included mostly simple pizzas, wings, salads, hoagies, calzones, strombolis, sandwiches, and pastas. Our waitress waited to put in our order for our entrees, so we waited a little while for those foods to come out. Later, we asked her for drink refills, and she brought them out. I rate our appetizer combo platter of fried zucchini, cauliflower, mushrooms, provolone sticks, onion rings, and jalapeno poppers as 3.5 stars. I rate my entree of stuffed shells as 4 stars. I rate my husband's chicken parmesan as 4 stars. Our total bill was $50 plus a tip.

    $5.95 Bowl of wedding soup, just opened the container. Unfortunately, no bites were taken yet, it was just broth to begin with.

    This place has always gotten 4 or 5 from me and my family. Tonight was disappointing. I'm very sick with the flu and was looking forward to their wedding soup as my only meal of the day. It was mostly broth and not a single piece of meat in either of the 2 bowls I ordered. It's $5.95. Also, the girls at the pickup counter are more concerned with gossiping with each other than handling customers appropriately.

    Understaffed on a Sunday night so service was slow. Their Chicago deep dish pizza is tasty!

    Usually pretty good just isn't as consistent as I would hope but the staff is friendly and you will always have a good time there.

    Knocking down to a 3 after trying the lasagna. Gross. The soup is okay but the bread is the weight and consistency of a hockey puck.

    I have visited the Mount Lebanon location of this business in the past and had a wonderful time…read morewith both the food and the staff. That being said I wouldn't say this is life-changingly good Italian food, although it is very good. I'm writing this review because I arrived here with a friend at 2 PM on a Sunday, and was immediately told they could only seat us if we promised to be done by 3:45 because they needed the table then. I understand tables have to be held if reserved, but looking around this very large restaurant was only about 1/3 full if that. I also don't feel it's appropriate to communicate scheduling issues to the customer and make them my responsibility. I've never been given a time limit to eat at any restaurant, and from then on the vibes were off. Our server seemed annoyed with us too (maybe because we offered to order everything all at once in order to streamline things because we were told they needed the table) but was perfectly adequate at performing their job. It was a very strange and unwelcoming experience, and I would definitely recommend visiting one of their other locations instead. The food was perfectly fine, but there are other restaurants in the Pittsburgh area with food of the same quality for much lower prices.

    Great service with excellent food. Varied menu, great wine list…read more The pasta is fresh made!!! You cannot go wrong here. Great food in a great atmosphere and very good value.

It is, without a doubt, my new favorite pizza spot! Between being perfectly cooked at a high heat in the wood fired oven, the homemade dough and sauce, and the super fresh and quality toppings, this pizza outshines the other local places ten-fold. My experience with the service was also really great! I used the online ordering system which was easy and convenient. It gave an estimated time for pickup and confirmation text message. I arrived about 5-10 minutes early and was pleasantly surprised that I received a text saying my order was already ready. The owners/staff are also so friendly and I was in and out in a Jif. The newly renovated shop is super clean and nice with very Italian vibes and also has what appears to be imported Italian goods for sale (I didn't stay long enough to check it out but will next time). We really LOVED the pizza! The sweet and spicy pepperoni was soo good! We also got a plain cheese for our pickier kiddos and are really excited to try some of the other flavor options next time. Definitely add Vitalia to your go-to takeout spots to try especially for a busy weeknight dinner or to enjoy on the weekend. It might also be important to note it is a small shop and appears to be meant just for takeout and not a dine-in spot. Hope you try and enjoy as much I did!
