Ordered the 4 layer lasagne. totally dry, it was layer upon layer of noodle and ricotta, with no sauce in between! The meat sauce was minimally ladled over the top was amazing, but needed added to the construction of the lasagne. Save yourself the trouble and ignore the award notification, and order the stuffed shells or similar pasta stuffed with ricotta, to avoid the total dryness of the lasagne.(which was a huge disappointment after seeing friends reviews of this place, and the award winning lasagne). Sad to say, but stouffers lasagne its better(they understand to put sauce(which is way worse) between layers, but they know how to construct it! From what little sauce I received, it was excellent. But, overall, for the price, you can get a good steak at mortons!

Being from out of town I wanted a taste of Pittsburgh Italy. We heard good things about Di Pietro's and decided to eat there for lunch today. The service was friendly and the food was good to great and the restaurant itself clean with many windows to let that Pittsburgh sunshine in. I ordered the fried zucchini as a appetizer. It was a tad over crunchy and the zucchini was on the thin side. The marinara served with it was amazing. If this same sauce is used with their pasta, it's already a winner! I also ordered the half steak hoagie. It comes with onion, lettuce, tomato and mayo. I ordered it without the mayo and the waitress asked if I wanted ketchup (we are in Heinz country!) or Italian dressing. It was nice to be presented with options. The hoagie was the best that I've had in awhile. The bread was lightly toasted but fresh. The steak was tender and had great flavor. I will definitely visit Di Pietro's again on my next visit to Pittsburgh.

If you like original Italian, then you have to try this place. Their dishes are simple and packed with flavor. You have to try the sausage rolls as an appetizer and the manicotti is always superb! The lamb meatball kicker with the manicotti is amazing.

One of our favorite mom and pop Italian restaurants. We especially love the carbonara and the Diavolo. Also, their wedding soup, house made Italian dressing, and fried cheese is excellent. Now I have to go there tomorrow just thinking about it :-)

Has always been a favorite for my entire family. Their pizza is the best in town. We come here a decent amount for dinner as well and I've never really been disappointed. Pretty standard Italian fare, exceptional balsamic dressing for their salads, but I do feel it's a bit overpriced.

This is my go to place and a hidden jewel in Westview. It may not seem like much on arrival but the food is dome of the best Italian to be found. They are consistent as well. After coming here countless times I have yet to experience a bad meal, or anything I would consider close to sub par. The menu is priced fairly and the portions are on the larger side but not too much. The wait staff are always pleasant and the owner is usually walking around. I highly recommend.

Many people complain about the food here, but I've had nothing but good experiences. Their pizza is okay: good sauce, but nothing special. However, their wedding soup is OUT OF THIS WORLD! It's simple, brothy, with perfect meatballs. Not too many restaurants seem to serve wedding soup, and if they do it's often over salted. Dipietros makes the best wedding soup I've ever had. I dream about it on cold rainy days in Boston. Additionally, their fried zucchini is pretty great. Add a little lemon juice to it, and you'll never regret ordering it. I will say, I've never ordered anything besides those three items. But when they are so perfect, why try anything else?

It is what it is. An old family style pizza shop with some added Italian menu options. The pizza is good but not great. We like the Sicilian style pizza but it isn't consistent - sometimes good, sometimes so-so.

Warning! I got food poisoning after eating at this place the last time I went. I called the restaurant to tell them so they would know to keep a closer eye on their cooks and they were very rude and denied that it could have been their food even after I clarified that I wasn't calling to give them trouble about it (i.e. I wasn't going to sue them and I didn't want anything from them). My boyfriend's parents love this place even though he and I have no idea why. The food is underwhelming, the prices are ridiculous considering the quality, and the ambiance is definitely lacking. Fake dusty flowers and old cranky waitresses. We only ever go to this place when his parents take the family out. After being sick all last night after eating their food, I don't think I'll go next time the family eats there. Oh, and they have another Yelp page with a couple more reviews. You can go read those too. There are so many great restaurants in Pittsburgh (ones with better food and better prices). Don't waste your time with this one. At best, it's forgettable.

Delicious!! We had lunch here this past week. The wedding soup was the best I have ever tasted. I had an Italian hoagie and as I'm typing this I'm craving it so bad. It was made with Mancini twist bread so it was so yummy!! For dessert, I had the turtle cheesecake which was amazing!!! They had somebody bring that in but they made their own tiramisu which was also the best I've ever tasted. Very light. I'm home now and I'm so sad that I can't eat here now!!

The reality is 5 service with 1 food ....sad really. I still tipped the waitress as she did her job, that being said we paid $60 to leave with the question of why? All done with local family restaurants.

I was surprised when reading the negative reviews on this site- although I don't think they're the best restaurant ever, I had a very good meal there on 1/4/15, and the service was excellent. I had Chicken Marsala- not cheap, but it was perfectly cooked with light/flavorful sauce and plenty of mushrooms. Portion was large and I took leftovers home. Can't complain at all!! The salad could have had more ingredients but was very fresh. I think the servers are knowledgeable so would recommend asking their advice when ordering. Hoping others have good experiences too! I'll be back.

This place reminds me of my mom's cooking. Until I had real chili, I thought my mom's was the best. And then I had the real thing and I knew from then on she wasn't much of a cook. Sorry mom. And I guess its about the same with DiPietro's....if you've never had good Italian, you might think theirs is pretty good. Nope. Specifics. I had chicken parm. The chicken was dry and chewy. The side salad was one of those glass plates with a few pieces of iceberg, a leaf or two of spring greens - just enough to keep it from being ALL iceberg, the requisite cherry tomato, rings of red onion - does everyone just move those off to the side of the plate? And the house Italian dressing? I swear it was Good Seasons from the shaker bottle. Housemade dressing doesn't have those tiny specks of red and black and God knows what else floating around in it. The price for this 2 small pieces of nearly inedible chicken in a smear of sauce and a sprinkle of mozz, a wholly inadequate salad and a small pile of watery veggies? $18. Really. If you want Italian, this isn't it. You'd be better off with Olive Garden.

DiPietro's has been a North Hills staple for many decades. They tried opening a second location in Wexford but it never really took off. There's something so comforting about the cozy dining room with tables adorned in white linens and the waitresses that don't mind if you linger over the half carafe of wine. It's a family place, mostly, although one night we were surprised when Bishop Zubik stepped out of a door we never noticed that leads to a secret voting chamber. Nah, not really; it leads to a banquet hall we never knew existed. Like most places, DiPietro's has a few really good dishes and some that aren't anything to write Yelp about. Stars include $20 Zuppa Di Mare brimming with seafood and clam sauce with marinara. The lasagna I've had was delicate and appropriately sauced with marinara so fresh that I swear the chef just finished simmering it from that morning. The linguine with clam sauce is phenomenal and you can order a side bowl of marinara to dip your locally baked Mancini's bread into. Their pizza is very good too - dough that is salted just right and crispy crusts that border the slightly sweet sauce and cheese. I appreciate the fact that they prepare their food in house and don't add a ton of preservatives like the Italian chains. We love this place and dine here several times a year.

I are here last night with a dining companion for dinner. Our meal started out with what I think was some Mancini bread and salads. The salads were decent with lettuce, a tomato, two olives and 2 pieces of onion on each and came with a small side of balsamic dressing. For my entree I decided on having the Penne DiPietro which was sausage, chicken and Gorgonzola cheese in a tomato cream sauce while my dining companion had the Chicken Romano. I was impressed with the sauce on mine, especially whenever it was infused with a bit of Gorgonzola, and the sausage was decent enough but the chicken had a very firm taste, almost like it was dry after had been left out for a very long time. It was definitely not cooked freshly. My dining companions chicken was moist and tasted much better with the cheese and eggplant that was on top of it tasting decent as well. However she did not enjoy the pasta that came with it. The bottom line for me is that I will not be coming back here anytime in the near future. The food was decent at best and with the $45 with tip that it cost us to eat here, sans appetizer, dessert and a drink other than water, I can easily find numerous better restaurants in the Pittsburgh area.

So I don't even want to write a review on this place because I want to keep it my little secret. My husband and I went here one day on a whim and now it is one of our staples. This might be my favorite restaurant in the North Hills. It doesn't look like much on the outside and certainly doesn't offer fine dining inside. The entrance is the take out order place and then you go into the cozy restaurant to be seated. The waitresses offer friendly service. Always ask for the bread and oil at the beginning of the meal. They only bring it to regulars or those that ask. We always order the Penne DiPietro which is a vodka sauce penne with sausage and chicken. My mouth is watering as I sit and think about it. We usually always get canolli's (spelling?) for desert which comes with 2 of them for sharing. I will say that the service is impecable but the meals are usually long. The waitresses are well trained not to bring all your food at once and don't rush you out of there. They make it an eating event which we love. I should also say that they take the entertainment and enjoy cards and never punch them. They do this on purpose so you can use them over and over again. This in itself causes me to purchase the entertainment card every year. I totally reccomend this place to everyone.

My husband and I went to DiPietro's for his birthday yesterday. His favorite food is Italian, so we're always looking for the best homemade Italian food. The entrance to DiPietro's is for ordering pizza and subs - the restaurant is in the rear and is cozy and quaint. We were promptly seated and our waitress was spot-on and quick. My husband ordered the Chicken Parmesan - which he does at every Italian restaurant - and got 2 large pieces of chicken with a side of penne. I ordered the ricotta stuffed shells. The sauce is smooth with a hint of sweetness. It's not overly cooked, so you can still taste the freshness of the tomatoes and basil. The shells were stuffed with a combination of ricotta and mozzarella cheeses and the filling was slightly creamy and not too dry. It bugs me when cheese filling is dry and grainy. The prices seemed a bit on the high end for pasta in a small neighborhood. The chicken parm was $18 and my stuffed shells were $16...although, soup or salad is included. I'd say that DiPietro's is a place that we'd visit again.

Went to DiPietro's with My boyfriend & his friend from out of town. Wonderful greeter, sat us at a booth right away, Fabulous waitress ! A must try appetizer is the Provolone Saltimbocca , Yum ! The bread there is fabulous (mancini) ! Dinner we all agreed was delicious ! Definetly a pittsburgh hidden treasure :) A+++++

I ordered a small (8 cut) pizza for delivery on Saturday night. The service was kind and prompt, the pizza arrived sufficiently hot, and the end product was pretty tasty. I like that their pizza is a little saucier than most places. My only complaint is that they went too heavy on the cheese, but that's my personal preference.

What used to be a tiny hoagie and pizza shop across from old West View Amusement Park is now tiny hoagie and pizza shop with a fine Italian restaurant in the back. This is the original and one of those "undiscovered" local gems you can't get enough of. The small pizza and hoagie shop has a few booths to grab a quick bite or to get your order to go, and also serves as the waiting area for the fine dining expansion towards the back. Expect decent if not large portions of true italian cuisine. My favorite dishes are the Chicken Veronelle (sauteed chicken breast & jumbo shrimp served with a white wine and lemon butter sauce) and the Fettuccine Carbonara. Their homemade hot sausage will surely make your brow sweat and your mouth happy. Their prices are reasonable for a fine dining establishment, yet somehow when I have the same entree's delivered to the house and dine in my PJ's while watching TV I find myself thinking the bill seems high. *sigh* If only they could deliver their ambiance too.

The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
Pizza
Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.
