About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Romantic
  • Charming
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.

We started with calamari, which was cooked to perfection, so lightly fried. Delish! We had the burrata with prosciutto, roasted peppers and arugula pesto. The most superb bite of food! Such a great pairing. We split the veal Marsala, again delicious. Laura at the bar took great care of us - super friendly and accommodating without being intrusive. Katie welcomed us and made sure we got great seats at the bar. I highly recommend and will be going back soon! Julian runs a great show! Bravo!

We've eaten at Vallozzi's before and had a wonderful experience, but our dinner last night was phenomenal. We were seated promptly after arriving for our reservation. It was a Tuesday night, so there weren't many other groups there. We ordered a bottle of resiling, and we were treated to one glass each of celebratory prosecco, on the house! We also ordered the bread, served with ricotta cheese and oil to hold us over for the main courses. I ordered the Gnocchi and my fiancé ordered the Linguini Florentine. The gnocchi was cooked perfectly! The sauce was so flavorful, as well. It was almost stew-like with carrots, broccoli, peas, and cherry tomatoes in a delicious red sauce. My fiancé loved the lightness of the linguini, and the shrimp was cooked well. As travelers who have visited Italy, we can say with confidence that these dishes certainly match the deliciousness of authentic Italian meals. Though we refused dessert as we thoroughly enjoyed our main courses, our server brought over two tasty truffles. She said she didn't want us to leave without a bit of a birthday celebration. As proven, our server was wonderful and very attentive; she cracked jokes and treated us extremely well. If you're looking for a taste of Italy in Downtown Pittsburgh with attentive and generous waitstaff, don't skip Vallozzi's!
