Italian Cuisine
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.

Let me start by saying I love the emerging and constantly evolving Pittsburgh food scene. The options are ever changing and pushing the limits. I also love Edison bulbs reclaimed wood and that industrial ambience that every single recent location has. That being said from the moment you walk in Senti you realize it is different. It's bright. It's authentic. It has a warm Italian welcome of the sincere and genuine owner. The menu is legit and is a true taste of Italy with fresh ingredients and home made pastas. The wine list is superb. The service and setting is great. Try the burrata appetizer, the lasagna and the tiramisu. This is a perfect location for a romantic night out or a celebration with friends. Yes I will still be interested in that brand new restaurant down the street with a new take on pork and chalk board painted walls but today Give me Senti!!

Although I bookmarked Senti MONTHS ago, I didn't have the opportunity to dine there until recently. Reservations were made for 4 people at 7:15 on a recent Saturday. When I walked into the restaurant, I was immediately surprised by the decor- floor to ceiling windows, white furnishings, exposed duct work. The appearance of the restaurant is very clean and modern. After looking over the extensive wine list (wow!), I went with a wine I was familiar with while hubs asked the waitress for her opinion. We were both very pleased with our selections. Our waitress was knowledgable about the menu and was able to answer questions regarding my current dietary restrictions. I started my meal with the mixed salad. Great start, good size tasty dressing. The accompanying bread was also delicious. For my main course, I decided on the pork medallions which were accompanied by grilled radicchio, white beans and sausage. The pork and the sausage were both cooked perfectly and very flavorful. The beans were a miss for me as I would have preferred a pasta (gnocchi). Service did seem to be backed up most likely due to a large party that was receiving their food before we received ours. Overall, I enjoyed my meal and will certainly be back.

So, we thought we would be here for a drink or two and dinner, and it ended up being an EVENT. I don't even know where to begin. The sommelier was so extremely helpful in navigating us to the correct wines for our taste and mood, and when we hadn't yet hit "the mark" on the wine of the evening, she continued to put forth excellent choices. At one point, the manager assisted us with even more insight. As for food, we were welcomed with marinated olives and decided upon two dishes for appetizers: the scallops and the mushrooms, both of which were exquisite, particularly the scallops which were perfectly seared. Our entrees were the steak and pork tenderloin. Here's where we had a bit of a complaint. The steak was AMAZING. Medium rare to a T! Beautifully seasoned and a texture that melted in my mouth, then pair the wine with it and BAM! WOW! The pork was another story. In fact, we questioned if it was the same chef who cooked the steak. Pork tenderloin medallions over a bed of white beans and chorizo and pearl onions. The tenderloin was overdone and dry, and there were supposed to be figs in the bed. There were three slices of figs. This dish wasn't even in the same ballpark as the steak. I would comment on the dessert, but we opted for bubbles. Quite a lovely selection of prosecco and brut, we landed on a brut rose that closed out our evening. My goodness, what an evening. It was an absolute pleasure to chat with the sommelier and the owner, and I sincerely look forward to dining here again.

Senti: A good, but forgettable meal. A friend had been wanting to try this place and I am always down for something new so was excited to check it out. Most reviews are correct in that the place does feel a bit like a hotel lobby, but to its defense it does feel like a swanky NYC sushi restaurant, which I was totally comfortable with. The menu looked interesting, but it was the specials that sung to us during our visit. Ordering the Bronzino and the salmon, we also wanted to try a mix side dishes: the bread pudding and fried polenta. We were both pleasantly surprised by both but were quickly distracted with dessert. The best part of our meal was absolutely the tiramisu. It's honestly the only part I remember because I remember thinking it was the perfect balance of having a coffee flavor with chocolate. I probably won't go back, except for maybe a glass of wine and more tiramisu!

Senti is a refreshing experience with authenticity and soul. The immediate impact of the ambiance is open, bright and welcoming. The owner adds to the experience with his genuine warmth. The wine selection is fantastic and you should arrive early to take advantage of their fun wine machine. This machine allows you to taste small pours of potentially higher priced wines. Just enjoy it, it is fun! The food is authentic Italian with fresh pastas and seasonal ingredients. We loved the tiramisu and definitely have the amaro if you enjoy after dinner drinks. The perfect spot for a celebratory experience with friends!

I stopped by here this past Friday night for dinner with my wife and another couple. We had reservations for 7:15 and arrived around that time to be immediately seated. The inside of Sentis is quite interesting and modern. They have a nice lounge type area with a bar and then a number of tables behind that. There is also another room that it looked like they were using for a rehearsal dinner the night that we were there and so we didn't really get to see it. My wife and I decided to start off our meal by splitting the fritto misto. It consisted of fried carrots, zucchini, peppers, calamari and shrimp and was quite good. The breading on it was rather light yet crispy and everything was seasoned perfectly. I was especially impressed that the calamari was tender as most places tend to over cook it and make it rubbery. Then for my dinner entree I went with one of the specials for the evening which was lamb t-bones. It consisted of 3 lamb medallions over top of some gnocchi, peas and mushrooms and had some dollops of puréed carrots and a smearing of black garlic on the plate. The lamb was cooked perfectly and tasted pretty good. Senti let the flavor of the lamb come through and didn't try to hide it. The gnocchi was also decent although I think that they were a little denser than i would have liked. I did enjoy the flavor produced by dragging them through the black garlic though. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Everything that we had was pretty tasty and I enjoyed the atmosphere.

Dined here last night solo at the bar. Interier kind of feels like a swanky hotel rather than a restaurant. I didnt order an appitizer or drink since I was dining alone. For my entree I got the salmon entree and let me tell you, I judge a restaurant by how well their cooked salmon entree is and Senti knocked it out of the park. It was served with sun dried tomato risotto and mixed veggies. It was amazing. Bravo! Then I treated myself to a piece of tiramisu. It was obviously homemade in house and delicious. I enjoyed my dinner completely and will be returning to see what else the menu has in store! Great job Senti.

Had been wanting to try Senti for a while after reading an article in the Trib. We went on a Saturday night with four other couples and had a great meal. The decor was nice - clean and modern. My wife and I both had the scallops special which was awesome. A good portion and very filling. Others in the group had the roast pork, linguine, and probably something else that I am forgetting. Everyone was very happy with the food - both quantity and quality. We skipped dessert but regretted it after seeing what others in the group ordered. Luckily they offered us a bite... Amazing. We were a little concerned about service because most of the servers we saw looked pretty young but service turned out to be excellent. I would give Senti a very high rating all around and would definitely recommend it. We'll be back for sure.

Very good new restaurant! The bread is homemade as well as the pasta dishes. I had the gnocchi, and my husband had the lasagna. The wine was very good as well. The highlight of the dinner was the desserts! We had tiramisu, pana cotta, apple tart, and a flour less chocolate cake. Each was better than the last! The restaurant is very modern and trendy. Franco was the manager at Lidias and decided to open his own restaurant. Much luck to him and the team!

A new restaurant I'm always going to give leeway on. They've got to have some time to work out the kinks and get into a good rhythm. I totally understand that. That being said, my experience at Senti was totally fine. While I was not blown away, I do see potential. It's a beautiful space, they've really made it a swanky restaurant. It's pretty big too. there's a decent size bar/lounge area and dining room. It's all decked out in white colors, you kinda feel like you're in Miami, except now it's the dead of winter and anything but. We had very friendly and attentive service. Our bread basket came promptly, as did all our drinks and food. While my negroni was good, I felt it was a little heavy on the compari and not enough gin. My main dish was the swordfish and gnocchi. It was plated beautifully. I'd say my fish was very good and I loved the crispy skin, the gnocchi and sauce fell a little flat. I feel as if there could have been a little more flavor to the dish. I was very impressed with the tiramisu. It looks liked it had been freshly made and then sliced from a big pan (a generous slice at that) and it was very good. I like tiramisu when it's more cakey, and that's what this was. I'm interested in coming back and checking out there wine selection and seeing how they progress and time goes by!

Dinner was fine, but as another reviewer wrote, a forgettable meal. I don't see any reason to have a return visit. We ordered all the specials: beef carpaccio and goat cheese tart for apps, and the lamb and scallops for mains. The beef carpaccio was on the tasteless side and the goat cheese tart was unremarkable. The lamb and the scallops were cooked perfectly, but again the dish was just fine, nothing memorable about it. The descriptions for all of the dishes sounded much more impressive than the actual meal. The one thing I did like quite a lot was the dessert. We got the tiramisu and the nutella mousse. Both were delicious! So if you go, definitely leave room for dessert. We ate inside, but the outdoor patio looks quite nice. And they seem to have a happy hour deal during the week that a drink comes with a free antipasta. The space is large, and actually felt very un-pittsburgh to me, but I couldn't place why.

We really loved our meal at Senti. Our waitress Kody was awesome. The salmon was fabulous! The food presentation was beautiful!. Franco was very accommodating. He really takes pride in his establishment! I loved the vibe. The decor was contemporary but very comfortable. I highly recommend. What a great night.

After reading countless mixed reviews from Yelp, my party decided to check it out. I read a review that described the atmosphere and interior of the restaurant as being "hotel like" which could not have been more spot on. Being with a large party I had the opportunity to survey several issues with our meals for the evening. Meal one was lasagna that was served luke warm, and honestly resembled that of a frozen lasagna. Second meal was the one I ordered along with two others which was the Branzino Sea Bass special, which was also lukewarm and pretty underwhelming. We overheard the table next to us saying that it resembled and tasted like catfish, and after a moment of laughter I thought to myself "It does in a way taste like catfish." The third meal was the NY Strip. It was a $30 piece or meat but something that you would expect from an Applebees. It was bland and overpriced. But the last and final meal was the pork tenderloin. Two people in our party ordered this and BOTH were undercooked. The manager took both of these off of the bill. The sight of the uncooked pork literally made me cringe. Nothing about these meals seemed fresh, with the plethora of resources in the area and the price we paid for our entrees I would expect that these meals would be nothing less than excellent. The service and our drinks were excellent and we had no qualms about that aspect of the evening. But if you are looking to have a nice dinner for roughly $30 and entree, I would definitely suggest going elsewhere.

This is a wonderful new restaurant! I was pleasantly surprised. Everything was so delicious, service was prompt and attentive, free wifi, comfy hang out area by the bar, amazing artwork and very inexpensive for the quality of food served. There is parking across the street. The desserts are just evil. They are so scrumptious you will want to try everything! The coffee Budino is to die for! I really like the wine dispenser too, you can buy a reload able card and serve yourself! Franco has some excellent wines to try. I will definitely return!

Second time around... So I love the decor. So nice, clean and modern. The owner was walking around and helping out and was really nice and professional. Kudos to him. The server was young and nice but didn't explain the specials well. Every time he came over it was just awkward. Pricing is weird. Salads are almost the same price as the pasta. And the meals are double the pasta. Lasagna was way way overlooked and mushie. But had a nice béchamel. Skipped deserts for the night.

Even if the food wasn't good..but it is...even if the atmosphere was bland. but.it is not..even if all the staff weren't just simply a joy to deal with...but they are..this place would deserve attention because it's an asset to a community that's striving to make itself better..and that's a plus for Pittsburgh...btw don't forget the free parking in a secure lot across the street,,,you can dine AND watch your vehicle..Lawrenceville I see has now instituted pay parking on the street so dine at SENTI and save!...now as an aside..my Martini was a bit small, and they definitely don't over pour the wine..two fingers more for the price would have been perfect..and perhaps an Amuse Bouche would be a nice touch...but hey this is a classy place with classy people and if that vibe is in your Wheelhouse..you're going to love SENTI.

We will be back! Lawrenceville needed a place like this. From appetizer to entree....bravo! Delicious wines and cocktails. Bright, hip, urban atmosphere sets it apart from other restaurants in The area.

Really unfortunate experience here. Came for the concept of the wine tasting options but the wine was probably old - definitely not a good representation of quality italian wine. The food was very mixed. The bread and the prosciutto appetizer were good, but anything that actually needed to be cooked or prepared was disappointing. The ribeye steak special was thin and very overlooked (medium rare = mostly gray throughout, and tough). The fettuccini was overlooked and chewy. Paired with the wine it all made sense together as a disappointment. For the price, this place is a huge letdown. If this were a $30 meal for two I would've been impressed but for $200, money would be better spent elsewhere.

Senti is still new. But I can't grade on a curve. The food was just average. Nothing extraordinary . Fine but not worth the 60 minutes it took to plate after the salads were removed. By the time the entrees arrived, hardly warm, we had consumed several bottles of expensive and unique to Pittsburgh Italian wines. Perhaps that was the motivation. The manager seemed unaware as to the pacing and only bothered to say hello once the cheque had been presented.

I very rarely have time for lunch. So I was excited to meet my wife out for a rare mid day date. Senti was the place, contemporary, bright and cheerful. My server was delightful and attentive. It was a Friday during lent so I was pleased to find fish on the menu. My wife had the salmon salad and I had the salmon entree. The fish was cooked perfectly and seasoned in a way that astonished me. Probably the best piece of salmon I ever had. Bravo, and Keep up the great work. I cant wait to see what the chef will come up with in the future.

I live in the building above Senti and wanted to give it a try. My girlfriend and I figured we could walk in this past Saturday night around 7pm but they were booked solid. We were offered the lounge area but fortunately there was a cancellation and we were shown to a table. The service was friendly and prompt. The first thing to come out was some bread. It was a salted focaccia with rosemary and it was amazing. Some of the best bread I've ever had. We both had wines which were good to start off the meal. From there we went straight into entrees. She had the salmon which was breaded, and she said it was excellent. I don't even eat seafood, and the bite I tried was very tasty. I went with the ribeye which was a special that night. It was a pan cooked steak but it was excellent as well. Had a great flavor and was cooked right. The side with the steak was a salad which was just OK, but overall I was very satisfied with both my wine and steak. The atmosphere in Senti was also very nice and modern. The crowd was on the older side but the place had a good vibe. Senti is definitely a great asset to the neighborhood and I'm sure I'll be back again.
