Seated in the Emperor room. Alla Famiglia is more expensive than many restaurants we’ve tried in the Pittsburgh area. However, the quantity and quality of the food make it an outstanding value. This was our first and certainly won’t be our last dinner here!

This place is fantastic! Everything from the small plates (risotto), to main courses (mushroom pasta & rack of lamb) were excellent. The server steered us in just the right direction for wines that paired perfectly with our dinners. I also noticed that every meal that came out of the kitchen was closely inspected but the manager to make sure they were on the mark (and they were). This was an anniversary dinner for my wife and me, and we could not have chosen better! Highly recommend it!

Service was excellent and the food was outstanding. They had a gluten free pasta for one of us and my pasta was delicious. Our other diner really liked the chicken parm.
