Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

I went to Village Inn on a Wednesday night around 5:30 and was immediately seated. However that certainly won't be the case if you go on a Friday or Saturday (make a reservation). My mother and I shared the Breaded Zucchini as an appetizer and the serving size was huge and surely could have been shared with at least three others, and for under $6 it can't be beat. For my meal I ordered the Stuffed Eggplant Rotellini which came with soup, salad, and garlic bread. The stuffed eggplant was another example of a huge, inexpensive, yet delicious selection. As far as drinks go they have a decent variety of domestic and import bottles but no craft selections. But Sam Adams on draft is only $2.75 and Coors is $2.25. Overall Village Inn is a great locally owned restaurant that deserves your business and puts Italian chains (Olive Garden) to shame.

I came here because it was basically the highest rated restaurant in the area... without being too expensive (only rated $$) or too far away. I'm in Pittsburgh doing training for a couple of days--I live in Seattle. This is my first visit to the area. The location was more provincial that I was expecting. Very much like small family restaurants on the outskirts of Vienna. Unique, rustic, a bit shabby in places. I ordered the Stuffed Sole (on special for the evening) with pasta, the Wedding Soup, salad with Ranch (on the side), and garlic bread. Everything was included in the price of the Sole ($13.99). I had a Coors light--one of two beers on-tap, for $2.25. Great price, right? Except it was in about an 8oz mug. The Wedding Soup was really good. Fresh. Meatballs with tiny pasta balls in a chicken broth with...Kale? Maybe, maybe not. Something dark green. The salad was a typical side salad. Nothing special. Iceberg lettuce, red onions, grape tomatoes, shredded carrots. The garlic bread was saturated in garlic butter. I liked it. Soft on the inside, crusty on the outside. Italian white bread. Good. The Sole was soft and flaky. The stuffing was a decent crab stuffing. It all sat in a cream sauce that was bland. My sole had some small bones, but nothing too complain about. The pasta was spaghetti with marinara sauce. The spaghetti seemed a bit overcooked, and the sauce was fairly bland. It reminded me of spaghetti-Os. Overall the meal was a decent meal... not terrible for $21 with tip, but not what I expected with so many stars. Maybe the out-of-the-way location made the reviews seem better? Maybe there isn't much Italian competition? Maybe the family atmosphere wins people over? The waitresses were older and had obviously been there a long time, so it seems stable and a good place to work. Nice to try, but fairly 'meh.'

Very quality classic Italian food here.. Quaint, small, tacky, and classically outdated Italian restaurant. With very good zuchinni, with three different great sauces for the pasta. I thought the wedding soup was terrific along with the service, although it was pretty dead in there. I would recommend to try.
(4)Chris F.
I can't imagine how anyone can give this place a bad review. Yes it's small,outdated and is always busy but who cares about any of that. The food is great and you will not leave hungry. Homemade soup and salad with every meal! Appetizers are great.
(5)Big E.
Absolutely the best Italian food around. Give it a shot if you're in the area. You will need a reservation as the place is smaller and always packed. If you somehow find room for desert, I suggest you try the tiramisu.
(5)Lindsay B.
Tasty if not outstanding food. Great vibe; cozy and homey. Felt like what used to be common in suburban communities in Western PA in the 90's. Steak and chicken salads were mostly iceberg but the portions and seasonings were enormous. Very good yet not great wedding soup. Insanely pleasant, friendly staff. Always a wait, FYI.
(4)Shannon A.
We had the scrod and the alla pescatore while it was fresh, it lacked seasoning. The bread did not make me think "homemade". The red sauce could have used seasoning as well. The gnocchi was a little doughy and needed a better sauce. Spumani was very good as well as the chocolate loving spoon cake. The price was exceptional. The wait staff was very good.
(3)John M.
One of our favorite places to eat. The pasta dishes are fantastic. The garlic bread! The wedding soup! I highly recommend giving this long time family owned business a try!
(5)Sally M.
Adorable mom & pop, local joint with real people and a family flair. Our clients took us for lunch here, raving about its value - it was phenomenally affordable ($8.99 lunch specials!!!) with great food, and exceptional service. * Drenched, soft Garlic Bread * Yummy Chicken Parmigiana * Perfectly cooked broccoli * Delicious Wedding soup Local vibe, nestled into a hill. Loved it. (was also cute to see so many neighborhood-looking customers, patrons, couples, families, and a wide age range. it felt warm & welcoming.)
(4)Adam H.
This place is amazing. We went here on a whim while in town for a hockey game. I had gotten the chicken parmesan sandwich. This thing was huge it had two chicken breasts where most place only have one. The taste was like something my grandmother would make.
(5)Roswell Einstein M.
Is it a "great" Italian restaurant...no. But, it is hard to beat the value vs quantity vs. quality. It is worth trying if looking for another Italian option.
(4)D Y.
Awesome! 4.5! Succulent and just oh so right tanginess to the village inn tomato sauce. Hubby and I have eaten here twice so far and we can agree that the dishes we've tried are outstanding! Very busy restaurant so I would recommend reservations, even in the middle of the week.
(4)Tina D.
Went here today for a late bday lunch. It is one of my favorite places & it did not disappoint. I have a tendency to always get the same thing because it is my favorite pasta & that is gnocchi veronese with wedding soup & a side salad with house dressing!
(5)Judith D.
We just had lunch today and it was delicious! Everything is homemade from fresh ingredients. And they give you a hearty portion. I never go there that I don't bring enough food home for lunch the next day. I am almost afraid to write this for fear I won't have a table the next time I go.
(5)Geo C.
Food tastes great and portion sizes are just right. Would be 5 stars except the wine tasted like flavored water. So skip the wine!
(4)Tammy F.
This place is amazing !!! The food is very legit and home made. The service is great. Drinks and dessert are awesome!! The only thing that sucks is the limited parking.
(5)Nivatrope C.
Cute mom n pop place in an almost residential neighborhood. There are plastic plants and the waitresses call you" honey" ..the food has some surprisingly homemade feel, with good wedding soup and sauces That aren't too heavy.
(4)Mike G.
Best Mom and Pop old Italian restaurant in the area. I've been here a few times and never been disappointed. This isn't just American Italian food but some authentic dishes as well. I highly recommend this place. Fairly priced as well.
(5)Chris C.
Impressive selection. The in-laws favorite place. Fast. Fresh. Homey atmosphere. I was not disappointed and did not leave hungry!
(4)Mary Lou B.
A nice little Mom And Pop place with good old school Italian food. Stop in some time!
(4)Justin K.
You have to make reservations to guarantee getting in because its always packed. Thats probably because it is the best home cooked italian in pittsburgh. You will not leave there hungry and will most likely have a box or two to go home with. Very family friendly and great service. I will definitely be back!
(5)Em L.
Delicious. Friendly. Delicious. Great specials, the prices are amazing for all of the food you get! Delicious.

Went here last night for the first time. Didn't have trouble finding a parking spot but I can see how it could be tough to park at times. Menu has a great selection of Italian entrees and sandwiches. I got the meat lasagna dinner, which comes with a huge portion of lasagna (I took half home), soup (wedding soup was delicious), garlic bread and a house salad. Food was good, hearty and filling. House shiraz was good and house wines at less than $5 a glass is a big bonus. Desserts looked good but we were way too full to consider. It was a little crowded and the dining room was a little warm but otherwise a good dining experience.
(4)Matt K.
The Village Inn is a pleasant surprise. My wife recommended we go there and I've been there twice now and had a great meal both times. They have a large italian menu and the prices are very reasonable. As other reviewers have said, you get a salid or soup included in the price of the meal. They also give you some great garlic bread. Don't be put off by the looks of the place; it's great inside.
(4)Cassandra M.
Our go to place when we don't feel like cooking! Great food, huge portions, low prices! You really can't beat it!
(5)Bobby N.
The place is always packed. People love the food. My opinion is the food is good, not great and its not the nicest place you can go. The prices are cheap and portions are nice.

This place is definitely old school Pittsburgh. A little outdated, a little worn, and a lot of rustic charm. We went based on a recent recommendation from one of my husband's coworkers, who proclaimed that it was the best Italian in the Burgh. It was PACKED, and on a random Wednesday night no less. It was only a 15 minute wait, which wasn't bad. I had never heard of this place until we went, but apparently it's a pretty big deal in Verona. The lobby was consistently full the entire evening. Their typical clientele definitely seem to be more on the oldster side of things. Other than the employees, I think my hubby and I were among the youngest people there by a couple of decades (and we're not exactly spring chickens!) Everyone -- from the hostess to the waitress to the lady ringing up the checks -- was sweet as pie. Sweeter than pie even. The atmosphere there was like being wrapped in a warm, comforting Pittsburgh hug. The food, however, gets mixed reviews. We started with the fried provolone, which were delicious -- crispy and ooey-gooey without being too heavy or greasy. However, the tomato sauce it was served with was bland. Beyond bland in fact. There were no chunks of tomato. No acidity. No sweetness. Just kind of....nothing. Tomato sauce at an Italian restaurant is kind of important to get right, so this was a big miss. For my meal, I ordered the chicken parm -- a dish that relies on tomato sauce as its linchpin. After having the provolone, I didn't have high hopes for my tomato sauce-laden dinner. Unfortunately, as I'd feared, my chicken parm was bland. The chicken itself seemed to be well-prepared -- it was coated in panko breadcrumbs and was crispy and juicy. However, it was covered in the bland sauce that really just didn't do anything for it. It needed a lot more seasoning to give it some flavor...unfortunately trusty Mr. Salt Shaker didn't do the trick. The pasta it was served with was kind of mushy, and again it was covered in the sauce that was flavorless. I will say, however, that the portion size was VERY generous -- enough for me to take a sizable amount home for lunch the next day (plus it also came with soup, salad and bread before the meal). My hubby fared a little better, having ordered a meatball hoagie and fries. His hoagie was ginormous, with meatballs the size of small baseballs! He thought his meal was pretty tasty, so maybe I just ordered the wrong thing (although his also had tomato sauce, so I dunno). The alcohol prices were a treat -- $2.75 for a Sam Adams is really reasonable! In fact, in general I'd say that the prices were pretty reasonable overall for the amount of food that you get. My hubby's meal was particularly well-priced ($7.25 for his hoagie and fries). Mine was pricier at $15, but it did come with the soup, salad and bread. Considering we each got two meals out of it, I'd say the value here is good. Overall, the value, the friendly service, and the decent food earn this place a solid 3.5 stars. I'm not dying to race back here for another meal, but I'd definitely be willing to try it again and maybe get something else on the menu that doesn't have tomato sauce. PS - The parking lot around here is small, so be prepared to be patient and/or be creative to find a spot.

Great Italian food. It is always packed for dinner, so if you order out, make sure you arrive late to pick up your order because they are also running late. The food is good at this restaurant but the service is slow and the atmosphere is lackluster. Take out is the best option.
(4)Kim S.
The food here is excellent and they have a great wine list! It's a treat to stop here whenever we are in Pittsburgh!
(5)Kate M.
Authentic great italian food! Not a fancy italian place and the seating is tight but you cannot beat the food or portions. Chicken parmesan is my favorite followed by the blackened chicken Alfredo and the sausage and meatballs with a side of penne. Best red sauce in town! The wine selection is simple but when your there just focus on the food, consistently great service, and great value and you'll leave happy!
(5)Karen W.
The Village Inn by far is the Italian Restaurant in Pittsburgh. I don't care about ambiance, it the food that matters. Many slick place have a huge price and the food is here horrible. The wait staff are deft and friendly. Try the veal Romano its huge and delicious. A salad, soup and their delicious bread accompany your meal. Many restaurants cut that out completely are now considered ala carte. Pasta with a huge amount of porabellas on top is another favorite of mine. Make reservations for the weekends or evenings as it is a very long wait. bona Petit!!!!
(5)Amanda B.
Hands down one of my favorite Italian restaurants. This place isn't much of a looker, but the food is outstanding! We came here on a Sunday with a small group. There was a bit of a wait, but we had reservations, so were seated immediately. One of the people in our party is a regular and he said that the lobby is consistently full and he wasn't kidding. Even at 3pm! We all ordered and sure weren't disappointed! It seemed that all meals come with a soup, salad, garlic bread, and a side. Wedding soup is one of my favorite soups and it was truly the best I have ever had. For my meal, I got the shrimp con aglio e olio and it was delicious. Large portion and shrimp were a decent size. I also tried the chicken Marsala and chicken Romano and they were the best I've ever had - the wine sauce for the Marsala was something I have never tasted before. It was amazing. We will definitely be coming back many times. The menu is large and there are ao many dishes to try! The prices cannot be best for all of the food you receive.
(5)Curt C.
I've driven past this place forever without stopping until seeing good Yelp reviews so we tried it. We will be back as the food is authentic Italian and lots of it. Make reservations as the place was packed on Tuesday night.

For the record, I would give the Verona Village Inn a 3.5 if the option was available. It's a shame because, in reality, the food is amazing. This place serves great traditional Italian food; I recommend the veal parmigiana. The Verona Village Inn is fairly known around Pittsburgh. Unfortunately, this draws in huge crowds in the evening and you can barley move around in the small building. This is not a place for claustrophobic people or else their could be a major problem. The restaurant was not made for huge mobs of people to be pushing each other to get inside. Finally, my last critique is that the food is quite expensive. I took a brief glance at the tab and was surprised! Over $100 for my family and I to eat a small dinner! Jeez. However, like I said before the food wonderful. I had a bowl pasta with Alfredo sauce that was so very good. To sum up, when you want some delicious Italian cuisine and you can take tight quarters and a big tab, the Verona Village Inn is a good option for you.
(4)Ryan T.
There's a ton of pizza/hoagie joints in Pittsburgh, but not much in the way of actual italian cuisine. This place hits the spot each and every time. The wedding soup, salad/bleu cheese, bread, stuffed peppers, and fettuccine alfredo are all fantastic. Its so good infact that i drive here from the south hills when im craving real italian dishes. Good value as well. I always leave here with half my meal.
(5)Rochelle H.
Mamma Mia! I think that I'm still full from a week ago. If you have ever seen the movie "Moonstruck" and wondered where you could go to capture the same mood, then this is the place. Everyone knows everyone else who enters and even if you're not a regular, the staff makes you feel like you are. (Regulars get the wait staff that they're used to) My daughter attends school not far from the restaurant and she recently had a half day of school. I decided to treat her to lunch there and boy were we surprised. My daughter is a chicken parm fiend, so she ordered the Chicken Parmigiana meal from the children's menu. Talk about a huge portion! Fred Flintsone would have been proud to attempt to take down this portion! My kid can really eat, but she slipped into a food coma midway through eating lunch and we had to take the remainder home. (She ate two additional meals from the leftovers!) I had the baked scrod with a side of linguini, salad and garlic bread. For $7.99, what's not to like? Pasta was al dente, fish and garlic bread were tasty and the service was friendly. I also had enough left over for an additional meal. Additionally, I felt like I had nonna waiting on me. Don't go there expecting this fabulous trendy tuscan or sicilian meal with an open kitchen and wood fired oven. This is not that place! However, if you just want to sit down and eat something that someone's Italian grandmother serves on a nightly basis at a reasonable price, this i your place!
(4)Doug S.
The bruschetta was good. I tried the Chicken Neptune and it was delicious. The linguini was cooked perfect. Took 1/2 the dish home with an extra side of linguine since there was so much chicken, shrimp and mushrooms left.
(4)Rob A.
This is an all time favorite that we used to come to when we lived in the area back in the 90's. Always a place we try and get back to when visiting family. Love this place, if I could pick it up and move it to NC where I live I would. Just good Italian food and other items. My faves are Stuffed Hot Peppers and Wedding Soup.
(4)Alex C.
I had an hour for lunch and the trip took me twenty minutes - and I still made it back in time. Verona is a small place with friendly staff and some real solid Italian food. I ordered the Bruschetta to start with, expecting a few pieces - I was surprised with about a dozen pieces of bread that were toasted on the outside yet moist and chewy on the inside, just as Bruschetta should. The pesto was flavorful and the peppers had just the right amount of oil to really bring it together. I liked the fact that they let you choose how much tomato or pepper to place on your bread as well. I also ordered the lunch Sampler, which was excellent. The chicken parmesan was a bit less crisp than I'm used to, but it was well breaded and had a good texture. The Alfredo sauce was cheesy and just the right thickness for a cheese sauce. The pasta was great, and the sauce was a little textbook but still good. I paid around 15$ for the whole meal - with service and prices like you get here, I don't know why you'd even consider going to any chain Italian restaurants!
(4)Jean G.
This is a tough review to write, because the Verona Village Inn is a really big deal in Verona. My late father-in-law's wedding was catered by them as a favor- the families were close back in the day. Every "big news" dinner in the family is done at this restaurant. It's a friendly place where everyone calls you "honey" and the waitresses remember you. In that respect, the place is great. The decor is a bit out-dated. The right seating section is pretty cramped. And the food... well it's good, don't get me wrong, but it doesn't feel restaurant quality. The presentation isn't great, and the alfredo sauce is a little more bland than I'd like. Last time I went, my fork was still dirty, and the time before that there were used napkins at my feed under the table. Their saving grace by far is their wedding soup- it is amazing. I think it's a decent place, and I've gone on weekends exclusively, so maybe it's a timing thing. I was definitely a little disappointed each time I've been there, but I'll be back, I'm sure.
