    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.

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

    $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.

    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.

    Normally, we stop at McKnight Road Bravo but it has been closed since they had a fire a few months…read moreago. We got a gift card for the holidays and wanted to use it on a Saturday night so we ordered online and went to pick it up. One thing I will say that made me a little uncomfortable during this Pandemic is how many people they let in to stand at the hostess area where you also pick up TO GO food. It was getting really crowded and making me very nervous. The lovely lady handling takeout orders handed me our bag and then wanted to double check that everything was just right that we ordered - she noticed they put onions on the chopped salad and ran back to the kitchen to get one without so I was left standing there feeling vulnerable, in a sea of patrons trying to get seated. Ugh ... no bueno. That said (and hopefully in a way that will allow them to improve that process), the food was really good. We got the double pork chop and the NY Strip steak. Both of them were cooked perfectly. They came with mashed potatoes and either asparagus or green beans. The only sort of bummer was that the steak flavor got all over the asparagus which I did not care for. Otherwise, totally delicious. We also got an order of the Bravo Pasta and a Wedding Soup with a Margarita Flatbread for the next night's dinner. The pasta was very good and had just enough chicken with it and a nice roasted red pepper sauce. We loved the Flat Bread that we reheated in the oven. It was super crispy and brown on the edges and had nice flavor with the basil and tomatoes. The wedding soup was a little skimpy for $5 but tasted very good. Overall, we enjoyed our meals and appreciated the attention to details in making sure the order was correct.

    Service was pretty good, our waitress was very kind and walked us through the menu. We came here…read morefor Father's Day. I got the chicken parm. The chicken was pretty dry and rubbery in sections. There must have been a teaspoon of red sauce, very disappointing. It was mostly butter and oil pooled at the bottom of the dish. The cost of this meal is something that should be considered to what you actually get. The feel is good but the restaurant needs to be updated, floor is peeling up and walls look beat. The food is important and I feel it needs much improvement. Our parents ordered chicken marsala which came with mashed potatoes, but were told later that they ran out of mashed potatoes. They substituted with french fries which is not a great substitution for that meal, especially in an Italian restaurant. Who runs out of mashed potatoes? $200 check for 4 people with no desert. On a good note, they do have some good wine options.

Everyone was satisfied about the meal. It was quite pricey, which was expected when we walked in because of the ambiance. So why only 3 stars? I live in Las Vegas and my guy lives in this area (long distance). Well, we were with friends that my guy hadn't spent time with in a while, and this was my first time meeting them. Nice double date! 3 out of 4 of us got multiple drinks and we were enjoying our dinner. We got dessert too. The manager checked on us once. We probably stayed about 20ish minutes after desert while talking and finishing drinks. We got up and used the restroom, and saw the mgr in there. We heard her say that our table "finally decided to leave." Very unprofessional when you are sharing the same restroom as customers to then be talking about them. I'd say the same thing had she not been talking about us but another table. I have 20+ years in the hospitality industry and that rubbed me the wrong way. Food wasn't good enough to come back, so this is a place that relies on ambience and service, which we'd come back for if the service were great...be hospitable. The server was knowledgeable and kind; it's too bad the manager couldn't keep her thoughts about well paying, well tipping customers to an area where customers couldn't overhear.
