Jack Purdy: Best lasagna I've ever had. The wait was long, but it's a small place with awesome food, that's to be expected. Service was great.
Mollie Gannon: Ravioli with spinach & corn was outstanding! Service and atmosphere make for a wonderful dinner experience. BYOB, so come prepared. Grab a drink across the street if you have a wait.
Ruthie G: The pappardelle with rabbit was good but I think the ravioli with beef and lamb was excellent. Also BYOB so come prepared!

Jacqui McMenamin: Highly recommend the Mac n cheese,, Moscow mule was divine, and the salmon was excellent!
Michael Jones: Bone Marrow, Government Mac n Cheese, Pork Chop, and pub burger are all quite excellent! Highly recommend the Sgt. Pepper's Old Fashioned cocktail, too!

Graham Kukucka: The Gnocci was amazing, and the Escarole is great too. Very good cocktails, awesome staff, got us a table even though we didn't make a reservation- and they were busy
Chev Trout: Gnocchi plate fire Palemo drink bomb
Mollie Gannon: Love this place!! Outstanding service. Best gnocchi I’ve ever tasted, unbelievable meatballs. Olive oil bread and beans/sausage/escarole are amazing.
Pennsylvania Macaroni Company: Try our homemade Penn Mac sauces, all of which are perfect for pasta and pizza dinners. Each contains healthy ingredients like extra virgin olive oil, garlic, fresh vegetables and great herbs.
Aaron Cruz: Great place for a Pittsburgh foodie. Great selections of cheeses, meats, spices, pasta and more.
Pennsylvania Macaroni Company: Our gift baskets make for a wonderful present like the Cheese & Meat Party Box or the Small Pasta Dinner Basket.

Alex Tufano: Try the pumpkin ravioli when its in season, delicious!!
Debbie Schrecongost-Kupas: Excellent pasta fagiole ! All three of our entrees were outstanding. One pasta , one fish and one chicken. I don't think you can make a wrong choice. Very Good experience
Shane B: The spaghetti w/ corn, mozzarella & tomatoes is incredible. The flavor combination is good, but the dish is extremely garlicky. You'll be exhaling garlic for hours after eating it. But it's worth it.

Omer Zach: Mac 'n' cheese and cocktails were insane. Awesome interior. Bathrooms are pretty awkward though.
Colleen Berny: The Mac N Cheese and Rosemary Focaccia were absolutely amazing! The Dirty Pasta was satisfying but it is more of a small plate versus a large.
Michael Jones: Great spot for a date, fun ambiance and decor. We loved the focaccia bread, pig candy, the pappardelle, and wagyu flank steak. Highly recommend the old man winter cocktail if you like Rye Whiskey.
