    Chef salad
    Jill H.

    All this girl wanted was a chef salad. Do you know how hard it is to find a chef salad in the south hills?? That's what landed me at The Other Place. We pulled up and placed our order and waited in the car--no place to have a seat and wait here--so ordering ahead would have been better. (But we had been engaged in the married "what do you want to eat?" discussion in the ride home in the car, so our planning was not awesome.) The wait was short (shorter than estimated) and the guys inside were friendly. Husband's hoagie was good, but skimpier than my very meaty/cheesy chef salad. Salad was A+, loaded with "stuff" and the dressing was fresh and nice and cold. (Seemed like a T. Marzetti type bleu cheese.) Salad was huge and definitely big enough for two meals, and it was a mix of fresh, crispy greens (not just iceberg), with no surprise rotten pieces under the unhealthier parts of the salad. If I'm having another salad craving, this would be a good place to return.

    Pizza
    Arlene M.

    This place is great!! The other place has no sit down dining but rather carry out or delivery. We had ordered pizza from them for our church's VBS. Not only was the delivery on time but they came in foldable insulated bags with oven style racks inside to keep the pizza nice and hot. You definitely don't want to serve cold pizza to a bunch of kids. They had given us so much that there was enough left over for the volunteers. The pizza was the traditional cheese but came in a box of 12 slices. I had one and boy oh boy this was the best pizza I had in a long time!! It was still piping hot from being in the insulated bags. Since we had extra I brought some home to my husband and he truly enjoyed it. This place is great for not only large groups but for catering to individual needs. Complete with appetizers, calzones, hoagies, lasagna, salad, desserts and more there is something for everyone on your list. I plan to utilize their services again in the near future. The Other place is located on Swallow Hill Road across the intersection leading to the Original Pancake house. Do yourself a favor and try it sometime!

    Italian hoagie
    Ashley D.

    Good spot if you're looking for something quick & delicious. No inside seating. Pickup & delivery only. I would recommend 10/10. The Hoagie's are seriously huge, I also really liked the dressing. Everything was very good.

    Muffaletta
    Adam D.

    I just got the Muffaletta sandwich. It was huge def worth the $11 the ham cuts are nice and thick too. Not heavily cheesed Do wish there was more olive spread. Even liked the Cesar dressing added it was subtle not drenched. Definitely coming back to try something else. Enjoyed this very much.

    For some reason, I had a feeling that something was amiss regarding this dining experience. I made…read morethe reservation on RESY and we were set. We got to the restaurant, approached the podium, I expressed the reservation and was told that they did not have one for me. We were asked to sit in the penalty box until they were able to find a table. We were fortunate and were seated. Our server was great. Very personable, helpful with the menu, made recommendations, etc. We ordered cocktails, which were very good. We then placed our order for dinner. My spouse had the beans and greens which were found to be quite good. I had the house salad which was also very good. For an entree, Bo ordered CACIO E PEPE and I ordered, BUCATINI all'AMATRICIANA. This is where we started to descend into food limbo. The cacio e pepe was flavorless with as little pepper as possible. So few, in fact that you could accurately count them. The pasta was overcooked and mushy. My entree was another disappointment. In the description, it states: "Bucatini Pasta, Guanciale, San Marzano Tomatoes, Pecorino Romano" Now, can any of you, off the top of your heads, tell me what Guanciale is? Guanciale just happens to be, an Italian cured meat made from pork jowl or cheek. Its name comes from guancia, the Italian word for cheek. It is rubbed with salt, black pepper, and spices, then aged for several weeks, creating a rich meat with a high fat content that is prized for flavoring classic pasta sauces. In my entree they were small cubes, meat-like, and one side of each cube was burnt to a crips, solid black and real crunchy. It gave the whole dish a burnt taste. Not the best. For dessert, Bo ordered the Banana Sundae Cheesecake. I bet you thought it tasted like bananas. Nope. It tasted like cheesecake. I passed on dessert. My choice was determined by the quality of my entry. Atmosphere. There are some restaurants, these days, where you have to raise your voice to talk to one another. Here we had to literally scream but still not be able to hear one another. It's all too common now to forego a suspended tile ceiling and carpet on the floor, which absorbs the sound. This was absolutely the loudest dining establishment I was ever in. Looking around, it seemed that most people have bought into the notion that this is as good as it gets when it comes to dining ambiance. Look, I'm old school and this just didn't cut it for us. There certainly are a lot who love the restaurant and grade it accordingly. I'm just not one of them. Bon appetit!

It is a very cozy Italian restaurant that's serving homemade Italian food like your Nonna would make for you. We showed up on a Tuesday night and it was packed. It was around six or 6:30 in the evening and when we first got there, we were told it would be about a 20 minute wait before a two top was available. But the host came back and asked if we didn't mind sitting by the kitchen they could see us right away. We chose to sit by the kitchen, which honestly was probably the best option because it was actually a little bit quieter because there was a very large party that was celebrating a birthday and they had live music going on so it was hard to hear when you were in the main dining space but back by the kitchen it's a little bit quieter and we could actually hear ourselves talk. My husband got the penne with meatballs and the penny was nicely cooked with a beautiful tomato Bass sauce and the meatballs or some of the best Italian meatball he's ever had. His only complaint was that there were only two in the order and he wished there would've been three. I got the spinach and ricotta, stuffed ravioli, and by far one of the best raviolis I've ever had. The ravioli are large so there's only about five in a dish but they're packed fully and the flavoring and seasoning is absolutely spectacular. It's got a beautiful sauce like accompanies it and the chew you can definitely tell it is handmade pasta/ravioli. Our server, Emma was absolutely spectacular and was so kind. We truly enjoyed our experience here and would highly recommend anybody to check it out if you're in the area. But we also do recommend make your reservations ahead of time.

The waitresses are friendly and have great recommendations. I got to try their linguine rustica (essentially the clam pasta dish), a cappuccino, some cherry soda, and soup of the day, as well as complimentary bread. They got that bread out very quickly! Very soft, and served with quite high quality olive oil. The bottle has both olive oil and balsamic! The soup of the day was quite good as well. It was some sort of beef broth, I think may a beef and bean soup. Chickpeas in there as well. Next time, I might try the salad. The salad they have as a side is so good, an amazing portion and seems so fresh and tasty. The mains were excellent. Very good pasta with clam sauce. Lots of clam meat and a flavorful oil based sauce. My friend had some red penne with chicken and enjoyed that as well. Great portions, pretty fair prices. Finally, great drinks as well. Very memorable cherry cola that I believe the company is owned by the owner's son. Real cane sugar, very good. The cappuccino was great as well. Definitely come here!

I've ordered gnocchi many times and never once had this experience at a restaurant. I DID have a similar experience when I tried making it at home, hence why I like to instead order it out and expect it to be cooked correctly. The "house made marinara" was okay, but a little bland and watery so it wasn't enough to save the dish for me. Perhaps it was just an off night or off dish, so given the other high ratings I wouldn't necessarily write this place off, but I was certainly expecting more for a place like this. Maybe skip the gnocchi if you go here.

Piada recently added small 'pockets' to their menu, which I've enjoyed. The pockets are about the size of my palm and come in a few varieties (meatball, sausage/pepper, spinach/artichoke, and pepperoni). At $3-5 each they are a good sidecar to lunch or just a savory snack. The closest analogy I can think of is a single slice of pizza, but these pockets are more dense. One final tip: Don't show up between 12-12:30 on weekdays during the school year or else you will wait in a very long line of students.

For appetizers we ordered the peach bruschetta (special), the pistachio and pesto pizza without the pork, and the insalata salad. My favorite was the brussel sprouts and carrotts app. We also ordered the lasagna which was different. It had cinnamon and nutmeg. I was expecting classic lasagna. The seafood spaghetti also was not what I expected. The spice was nice, but I didn't like the texture of the pasta and the seafood was very fishy. The pesto pasta was good but needed salt. For dessert the boomba was the best! Tiramisu was mid. Again, cinnamon and a fresh flavor that didn't provide the traditional flavors I anticipated. The wine from the package store near by can be ordered and brought to your table. Paid for separately and via an app.
