I absolutely loved this restaurant. My dad and I came in after a long day and was greeted by the owner at the door. The service was fantastic and had great hospitality. The food was delicious. Everything is homemade and you can really tell the difference. Highly recommended for a fantastic Italian dining experience.

As a Individual who has worked in the food industry for over 9 years now i have been to many restaurants and markets. I will say that the food served here is nothing like any other place in Pittsburgh. It truly is made with great passion. We started with Artichoke hearts with crispy Pancetta…. literally to die for mouth watering taste. My Veal Parmesan literally melted in my mouth. The presentation was immaculate. My fiances Alfredo was amazing the noodles are home made. We finished our meal with a Lemon tart that made me feel like i was eating something off the Foodnetwork. Would reccomend this place to absolutely anyone. The menu is very extensive and has anything your mind could imagine. (By the way i didnt need to use thd knife to cut the veal)

Wow. It is a complete surprise to us that this five-star Italian restaurant is tucked away in the one of the nooks and crannies of Pittsburgh. Nancetta’s Ristorante is a small, locally-owned restaurant that delivers the best of the best dishes in the form of spreads, appetizers, salads, soups, entrees, deserts and speciality drinks, all of which are freshly made within the realm of Italian cuisine. Our bartender and waiter, Jay, provided impeccable attention to our table. Jay genuinely provided above-and-beyond service to us that is professional, thoughtful, courteous, accommodating, caring, kind, considerate, respectful, attentive and passionate with sprinkles of delightful humor. The owners, husband and wife, equally provided such service to our table and seemingly to all other tables in the restaurant. This restaurant is indeed a rare, precious gem conveniently located close to the exit of Route 28. For those looking for a top notch, small, local restaurant that serves up freshly made, homemade Italian cuisine, this is it. Our sincere thanks and gratitude to Jay and the owners of Nancetta’s Ristorante . . . Bill and Sam.

Never again. We have been here a few times before and absolutely loved it. Thought it would be a simple under the radar place for Valentines Day. Boy were we wrong. 7:00 reservations turned into being seated at 7:30, we finally ordered at 7:50. An hour and a half into dinner we still hadn’t been served water or bread, meanwhile two people WITHOUT reservations had been seated at the bar, had drinks served and appetizers… but they also seemed to know the owners, as they took time to chat away with them, while not paying mind to all of the customers waiting over an hour for all of their food. We finally received our entrees, two hours after our reservation time and they were sub par at best. The worst part was, our waiter nor the owners ever apologized once for the delay. They were hurried and rushing us from the minute we sat down, not a moment to be cordial…like it was our fault we chose to dine on Valentines Day. Well we won’t be back again, for any major holidays, or all the other weeknights we are just in the mood for a good meal!

The wait is long because the food is freshly made and not just sitting around, it’s all made from scratch and is absolutely delicious, I HATE premade noodles now and I need their freshly made pasta. Literally the best chicken Alfredo I’ve ever had in my life!

We were not impressed with the appetizer, and like other reviewers, got restless as we waited for the main course. However once it arrived, the food was outstanding and well worth the wait. I took the advice of our very knowledgeable server and am glad that I did. She was spot on with her recommendation!

No doubt this place is 5/5 stars. Great, tasty, and authentic Italian food. It’s a scratch kitchen, and the chef came out and spoke to us for a bit. It’s a family owned spot and they’re so sweet, and the service was phenomenal. It’s not a very big dining area, but that allows it to be very quaint and romantic. great date spot.

Went as a group a few weeks ago. Great ambiance, attentive waiter. Had very high expectations. Appetizer came out quickly – the risotto balls were delicious! However, waited about 90 minutes for our entrees (albeit it was a group of 10, despite the wait though entrees didn’t come out simultaneously and were very staggered), pasta was under-cooked and crunchy on several of our entrees and over-cooked and mushy for others. Taste and texture of sauces were also off. Perhaps it was an off night, but I won’t be returning.

First time there. Food was good and worth going back for the service and the atmosphere, but would try new items next time
