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.

Food was very good as was our waiter. It took a long time to get our food and for that reason they offered us a free dessert, which also took a long time. Overall I would recommend this restaurant

My Steak, mushrooms, sauce and sweet potatoes were cold. Overpriced and cooked too much. Other dishes served to family were good. Waitress was very friendly.

Totally worth it and fabulous! We had a family celebration there and it exceeded our expectations. Ten dollars for the valet service was a nice option and thankfully we had some cash on us.

We enjoyed a good visit to this popular spot that is close to Heinz Hall. Service was pleasant and efficient. Food was very good. Both of us had Caesar salad then a Sicilian pizza and chicken parm. Both very tasty. This visit was far better than our last one when we had extremely long waits and had to take our entrees to go.
