This place was sooo good! I’m from Chicago so I’m a big foodie and DiAnoia’s is really a gem in Pittsburgh. The cacio e pepe was amazing, and so was the focaccia. Mocktails were also great! I can see why this place has such a long waitlist for reservations :)
This was one of the best Italian meals I have had outside of Italy. The atmosphere was classy mixed with casual. The bread with whipped ricotta was unbelievable. I got the gnocci and they exceeded my expectations. There is a reason that reservations are booked out weeks in advance!
Amazing . Probably the best Italian food I’ve ever had! Definitely the BEST meatball sub I’ve ever had. Packed with loud delicious cheeses . The atmosphere is clean, bright and inviting, as is the staff. Had the Italian Stallion and donuts for breakfast... so VERY VERY good . Located in the strip district.
We really got lucky to get a table on mother's day as a walkin. Service was awesome. The food was excellent. A must visit if you are craving good Italian food.
One of the best Italian restaurants in Pittsburgh. The food is AMAZING and the atmosphere is very nice. We sat near the garage doors so having windows near us was very nice with the natural light. Cannot recommend this place enough. The side salad is definitely shareable and the bread and olive oil is amazing. I did not get a picture of the brussel sprouts but they were also very good. Every single dish does not disappoint. Please try this place!!
Delicious! We started with the meatballs & whipped ricotta. Then followed splitting the cauliflower appetizer. My friend had the chicken for her entree and it was huge!! Good environment and servers were really nice. They even split our salad for us that we were sharing which was such a nice touch!!
I wish we lived closer! We tried this wonderful restaurant while on a recent trip to Pittsburgh and so glad we did! They acommodated our party of 3 last minute on a busy night at the bar. Food is top notch and we had a good view of the amazing staff in and out of the kitchen. Pasta Primavera with Shrimp, Rapini, Gnocchi and Meatballs and the Bolognese Bianco every bite was so delicious. And yummy Tiramisu for dessert.
Wonderful place to get really good Italian food, a great atmosphere, although it was loud at times, The service and the food are top notch. Highly recommend going there for dinner, the bread is unique and inviting, and the pasta, especially the gnocchi is like pillows of pasta. The specialty cocktails are phenomenal. Definitely try them.
