Vallozzi's started over 50 years ago when Helen Vallozzi was selling homemade pastas out of her home. Helen opened a take out restaurant in Latrobe, PA a few years later where her popularity exploded. In 1977, Ernie Vallozzi moved his mothers location to Greensburg where it is still open and operating today. In 2012 Ernie's son Julian expanded the tradition in to downtown Pittsburgh. Vallozzi's Pittsburgh has recently joined a mere 1,200 restaurants worldwide as a recipient of the Wine Spectator Magazine's Best of Award of Excellence and is the only Italian restaurant in Pittsburgh to receive such an honor. We can host your intimate date, family dinner, business meetings, or larger parties in our banquet room. Or come enjoy a specially made cocktail in our bar area and a small bite.

For an appetizer we got the meatballs and they were amazing. We both got the rigatoni alla vodka. I liked mine with the Italian sausage. Our server was Anthony and we loved him! Would recommend this place for a more relaxed date night.

Upon arrival, there was a note posted on the door indicating the Lounge / Bar was closed due to a private event. I had not been contacted by the restaurant regarding this change to our reservation. Upon entering the restaurant, we noted the Lounge area was empty and inquired at what time the private event was scheduled for. which turned out to be one hour from our arrival time. That being the case and our first time there, I asked if we could enjoy a quick cocktail in the Lounge prior to our meal, which was declined. At that point we were offered a table, and we asked to have a look at the seating arrangements as we had not been before. We looked at a couple of tables we didn't quite like the location of and finally found one off to the side. I left my seated wife for a couple of minutes to have a look at the bar, and upon my return she indicated one of the servers had abruptly approached her while reading the menu and caught her off guard. My wife then heard the server indicating to someone that she had responded rudely, which was not the case. We ordered appetizers of meatballs (ok) and Arancini (very good) along with a meal of crab cakes (good) and gnocchi (good). The experience felt rushed and was not to our liking, unfortunately we will not return.

Ran out of free bread when we got there. Limited menu for Valentines. Wouldn’t recommend on a holiday. Usually very good, don’t know what happened here.

                                                                            Is this helpful?
