Great service, great food, semi-kid friendly. The food was really good. Definitely some of the best Italian in the area. Just recently heard about this place but I guess they have been around for a while. Ended up getting the vodka pasta that was on special, great flavor on the sauce. Got the saltimbocca as well which was phenomenal. They had highchairs for the kids but it appeared that there was not a kids menu. But the portions were pretty big so plenty to share. My only negative comment is that we went on an extremely hot day and their AC was not working very good so it made it difficult to enjoy the food while we were sweating. Still rating a 5 overall because that is temporary and something that has already probably been rectified. read more

Love this place more and more every time we go. Our birthday Group picked storms, party of 10, went this evening. Impeccable service by Bri M. We ordered several appetizers, the zucchini, saltimboca, arancini, and zucchini frite, which you cannot find anywhere else in Pittsburgh these days. Entrées ranged from seafood medley with Virginia spots, shrimp, and scallops to a house, special of chicken and eggplant Parmesan, to ravioli to chicken piccata. No complaints from anyone, basically everyone raved about the food. The house salad with white French and the wedding soup competed with each other for best starter. BYOB! Two people took dessert home, and we all had bags of leftovers. Outstanding! read more

Food is fresh and served HOT! Servers are very knowledgeable and attentive. The place is BYOB and does not charge a corkage fee.

My family visited this establishment the other day to celebrate Christmas, there were 20 of us. The owner was super accommodating and was also our server. The restaurant is small but very cozy. I suggest you make a reservation. We ordered from a prefixed menu and multiple appetizers and we also ordered desserts. This place is a must visit! The food was absolutely fantastic. The zucchini was battered and was so light and crispy without being greasy. The saltimbocca was off the charts. The steak! Omg the steaks were huge. Let's not forget about the chicken Romano which was the best I have ever had. So light and crispy and the lemon cream sauce, oh my goodness! We cannot wait to return! Do not forget to order desserts! We had tiramisu, chocolate cream pie and cannolis. read more

We recently had a luncheon with a large group of women at Storms. Everyone commented on how good their food was. The service was outstanding and our server was very attentive. A couple of the fan favorites were the fried zucchini strips, which was bought for the table and the family style vodka sauce pasta, which we all shared. read more

Delicious Italian at really reasonable prices. This place is packed for good reason! The salt sticks in the bread basket put this place over the top. read more

Busy, reasonably priced Italian restaurant. The dining room is full and the servers are quick and friendly. If you're looking for delicious Italian food at a reasonable price and byob with no corkage fee, this is your spot. Make a reservation as it was full. We had scampi mussels, apple walnut salad, wedding soup, eggplant parm and veal parm, penne with a vodka-esque sauce with bread pudding for dessert all for well under $100. We had leftovers enough for a second meal. read more

I've been a fan of Storms since it was located in the basement of a downtown office building. Now it's just a few minutes from home for me in a strip mall complex on Curry Rd. In Baldwin which is great luck. The food is the same as I remember. I've dined in a few times and the space is surprisingly large from what it looks like outside. Usually though, because they get busy, I get takeout for a cozy night in. My go-to here is anything with their wonderful plum tomato, basil and cream sauce, like penne or cheese ravioli. They have a solid side salad and the dinner rolls are fantastic. I've also had the eggplant parm which is excellent and can recommend the zucchini app which is thin, crispy and delicious. But seriously, get that sauce. You can't miss. read more

Got to get a reservation! Place is very cozy and quaint, very good staff and they have some of the best Italian food in the area! Highly recommended read more

Went on a recommendation from a coworker. Was told to make a reservation and I'm glad I did! Small place maybe two dozen tables and I watched people without reservations be told that they'd have to wait 45 minutes and that was on a Thursday night! Started with the muscles scampi style served with a nice crusty bread and they were delicious, the best I've ever had to be honest. Wife and friend got the Chicken Romano and I the angel hair with prawns. Both were excellent! Our other friend got the veal and meatball special and I wish I had too! If you remember the chicken sandwich KFC put out that used two chicken breast as the bun? This meal was a bit like that except that it use two beautifully breaded pieces of veal with two of their delicious meatballs sandwiched betwixt them covered in their simple and delicious tomato sauce! WOW. I haven't written a review in a bit and this place absolutely made one necessary! Don't miss this one! read more

It's all good.. try the seafood dishes excellent.. I highly recommend it.. it's byb so bring your own wine..

I was disapppointed to be seated in the entrance hall. People waiting for their table standing less than a foot away from me with their back was disgusting.. I'm extremely disappointed. The food was delicious, but we left early because of the lack of ambience. read more

Server was awesome, went back to school to become nurse. Food was amazing, egg plant parm was awesome!

My wife and I went for dinner. As usual the food was great and the servers were friendly.

If you're in the mood for some truly delicious Italian food, then you need to head to Storms Restaurant. The pasta is homemade and the sauce is to die for. The chicken parmesan is also a must-try. It's so tender and juicy, and the breading is perfectly crispy. The service is wonderful and the staff is very friendly. They make you feel right at home. And the best part is that the prices are very reasonable. So if you're looking for a great Italian dining experience, be sure to check out Storms Restaurant. You won't be disappointed!l read more

Service and food excellent - served fresh and piping hot and tasty. You could carry in a conversation. Would be nice to be able to order drinks. read more

I have eaten there several times now. I get the muscles as an appetizer because they are pretty much the best I have ever had. The chicken Parm is off the charts and you get a very large amount of food. Not to mention even the side salad is pretty big as well. The wait staff is always attentive and friendly. The restaurant is small but I love it anyway. read more

Just picked up carryout from here to try it. The stuffed banana peppers are amazing. So is the meatball appetizer, and the Scalo pasta is so great. I can't wait to eat here again! read more

Like that Storms is BYOB and did not charge us for opening our wine bottle. Arrived a couple of minutes before our reservation and the hostess stand was a bit of a confused mess. Asked by three different hostess our names and we did communicate that someone had already taken our name and they all talked and got confused. Anyway, we were finally seated. The dining room is rather noisy. Our waitress also was at the hostess stand. She did not tell us about the specials that were on the board when we noticed then came in but we asked for them again just to remember what they were. She appeared a few times but seemed to be rushed. She noticed our wine bottle and said she would be right back to open it. She opened it without taking the foil off the top and there was torn foil sticking up so you really could not pour it and was afraid the we might get some torn foil in our drink. The wine glasses that were delivered were still warm from the dishwasher; would prefer not having warm wine glasses. We started with the fried Brussel Sprouts that were nicely cooked and glazed with balsamic, maybe a tad too much balsamic. For our meals we had the seafood diavlo and the diavlo pasta with sausage. Both were good and you do get a large portion. The seafood diavlo had scallops and shrimp. Scallops were god and cooked perfectly but the shrimp were tough and overcooked. Skipped dessert since we had so much to eat. read more

Excellent food snd service. BYOB but that's ok. Parking is easy but restaurant small definitely need reservations

The most fresh, light & delicious Italian meal I've had in Pittsburgh. Our party of four ordered an appetizer & four entrees. Every dish & side dish was perfectly fresh ingredients & the marinara & wedding soup were outstanding. Plenty of leftovers too! read more

I decided that I needed a little pick-me-up lunch around the holiday time so I treated myself to a lunch at Storms Restaurant. I'm old enough to remember when this same space was the Three Lions Restaurant back in the 1980's. Whew! The Three Lions Restaurant was memorable because it was one of my first exposures to a "white tablecloth" restaurant and I thought that I was ballin' and shot callin" by going there. Fast forward and I have been to a few restaurants since then and I know what "true" white tablecloth restaurants are now, Storms ain't that, but it is a comfortable "My house is your house" restaurant. You know that type of place where the waitress calls you "Hon" and you don't mind because that's the way they roll... I decided not to eat in one of my employer's cafeterias one day and decided to go to Storms for lunch. Chicken Marsala, pasta side with olive oil and garlic, side salad and Italian bread. Nothing fancy, just solid "ole school" Italian mom and pop food. Everything was served promptly, hot and without much ado. I appreciated that and the food cost less than a comparable meal at my cafeteria. I actually enjoyed my meal without pretenses. Some times, that's just all that you need. read more

Excellent food! We've been going to Storm's for about 7 years now. They were in the downtown location before they moved to the current location. We discovered the restaurant originally from Groupon and have gone ever since. We've always loved the food but this time seemed extra good! We were the only ones seated (most likely due to the covid scare). The waitress was very prompt and everything was cooked to order. We had the mozzarella wheel as an appetizer. We usually get the fried Zucchini but decided to try something new. It was an upgraded cheese stick that melted in your mouth and was extra crispy. Next was the homemade wedding soup. I'm a little picky when it comes to wedding but it was on point with flavor and substance. The main course was the chicken Romano. I was shocked with the portion of three full sized pieces of chicken! Not to mention a large side of pasta. The flavor of the chicken mixed with the pasta was incredible. I usually don't get the ingredients or quality from other restaurants. My husband ordered the seared steak that was on special. I also tasted it and was delicious. The potatoes were amazing. Crisp on the outside yet soft on the inside bursting with different spices. Overall, this is one of our favorite restaurants for more of a special occasion but will be coming here more often read more

I can't say enough good things about Storms! The food is delicious. It's a must try! If you are eating in I recommend reservations but even the take out was great. read more

Amazing service leads to superb cuisine. I spend several special occasions here and every time is better than the last.

Very over priced for portion. I do not mind paying for quality food but this was not that good. If you want to try good Italian food try Tillies Restaurant in McKeesport. I don't like McKeesport but Tillies food is far better and worth the drive. Strorms marinara sauce too thin, ranch too thin and while we were eating dinner you could hear the staff in the kitchen drop the F bomb. Lol.... didn't really mind that. Just a little too noisy. read more

Hands down probably one of the best restaurants in the South Hills. Its small, but popular. You have to make a reservation to even get a table on a Friday or Saturday. The night we went, we had a table of 16 adults. Service was spectacular and all of the food came out at the same time. Which if you have worked in the service industry, this can be very challenging! I ordered the Eggplant Parmesan. It came with your choice of a soup or salad and a side of pasta. It was absolutely delicious and a huge portion. My favorite part was the spicy tomato sauce and chunks of portabella mushrooms. Also the fact they are byob with no corking fee. read more

With everything going on in the world right now, I'm am super appreciative that Storms decided to close their regular operation and moved to Taye out and delivery. We ordered lunch from there today. The portions were great, especially for lunch and the food was well packaged. I had the Chicken Piccata and my husband had the Chicken Parmesan. Both were DELICIOUS! We can't wait for them to fully reopen but until they do, we will definitely get more takeout orders. I saw that they deliver locally as well. read more
