    We stopped by tonight to try the new addition to the neighborhood - a place which should have amazing brick oven pizza, right? We were excited. The place looks great, I'm sure a lot of money was spent on interior decoration. The bathrooms leave a bit to be desired after being in the dining room, but that's OK. We started off with the fried zucchini straws ($7) with horseradish sauce and the bibb salad ($6). The food came out quickly which was a big plus. The zucchini straws weren't crunchy - they were actually soft/mushy and tasted like old frying oil with a hint of seafood. Tasted frozen. A wedge of lemon would have been great to refresh the palate and cut the fat but none was given. Overall, highly disappointed. Would rather go to Fridays and get their breaded string beans. The bibb salad came out next and this was quite literally a large piece of lettuce with a lot of oil and small pieces of garlic. No acid or salt /pepper. There were walnuts as promised but we really couldn't taste any grana padano as was advertised. Nor was there a hint of truffle in the vinaigrette. This was an awful oily mess. After letting the server know we were done with the apps since the plates were both full, we received our margherita pizza ($12)! YES! WAIT. No. It's only 10"? Oh gosh, the grinch stole any hope of the restaurant redeeming itself. Where was the sauce? The charred crust? If you Google "margherita pizza" you'll see what we all crave, why we come to a place like this. Delicious but simple tomato sauce, bubbling fresh buffalo mozzarella and a light fluffy charred crust. We received a pizza with chopped raw tomatoes and polly-o mozzarella cheese. That's right. No sauce. The basil chiffonade was a nice touch. But the crust. The crust. It was whiter than Casper the friendly ghost. It tasted like someone had pulled out some pillsbury frozen dough and used it as the crust. It had no flavor other than some sort of strange frozen tinge. Dare I say we should have gone to giant eagle and picked up better frozen pizza? Overall I'd say give this restaurant a miss and go to any of the wonderful pizza parlors in Pittsburgh. I'm sure Toscana has an oven and it's made out of bricks, but if you want thin crust neapolitan please keep looking. You'll be happy you did. One star for the excellent service and decor. Minus four for the lack of basics when it comes to food quality and flavor, and for making my party feel sick from the oil and bad flavors. The proprietor seems to understand hospitality and presentation, but is in dire need of understanding the basics of quality food.

    New restaurant in Southpointe that will be a big hit. The fresh made pasta was fantastic. The server Maria was very good. Tricolore appetizer was also fabulous. The owner was there and is a very sharp, friendly guy who has another hit on his hands.

    Great experience with their early happy hour specials. Try the bruschetta or calamari appetizers.

    My first visit to this chain may possibly be my last. Although the fare was good, the venue was intolerable as this is the noisiest restaurant I have ever been in. I couldn't hear myself think! Nothing but hard surfaces and a clientele which competed to see who could talk loudest. Thumbs down. One star for the pasta.

    Always seem to have a great experience here. Nice relaxed atmosphere with patio seating. Waitstaff has been extremely friendly and helpful. Love their Gorgonzola Pizza. Appetizers are good and decent wine selection to accompany any meal. Thumbs up

    I enjoyed this restaurant on a Friday after work. Good food, decent beer and wine menu, and food that while nothing overly special certainly was very tasty. We started with bruschetta, served warm with mozzarella, tomatoes, onion, garlic and balsamic over three pieces of crusty buttered bread. I liked this a lot, and could have kept eating. But dinner was coming. My wife had the bolognese, which was very good. A nice tomato and meat sauce over extra wide noodles. I had chicken Marsala with herbed pasta. Tasty, and a very good size (I didn't finish it all). I would have preferred a more potent kick of Marsala flavor. The noodles were buttery and had a lot of garlic. Nothing wrong there. Staff was very attentive. Outdoor seating looked wonderful with fountains and sunny views. Inside, the modern decor and high ceiling meant it was a bit on the loud side, but it was happy hour and I didn't mind. Next time (yes, I'll be back) I need to try the pizza!

    My wife and I went here for her birthday. We had the best home made pasta. The meat sauce was delicious, and meat balls were the best. We had the best dinner and service possible. Then we shared the Bread Pudding, with Carmel Sauce, and Pecans, topped with Cinnamon Ice cream....the most amazing desert we have ever had !!!

    Geez, great! Another brick oven restaurant. That is a good thing for all of those of us who love pizza. Nice new space with a long bar, a few draft beers, bottled beer, and of course some wine and drinks. The pizza are neapolitan thin curst. The lunch menu includes fresh pasta with homemade sauces, antipasta, salad, sandwiches that somehow use homemade dough to make the bread or wrap. Had the Diavolo pizza that has sausage, capers, mozzarella, red pepper flakes. The crust was crispy and thin. The sausage was not my favorite; was expecting a spicier sausage and it had a distinct taste that was not spicy and not one I am a fan of. Service was OK. The room was crowded and a little noisy.

    I don't write many 'bad' reviews. But, my experience wasn't very good. The staff was unfamiliar with what a vegan diet is. When I explained they continue to offer options that were not vegan. I settled on a simple salad. Which was just ok. I love eating at Italian restaurants and usually find a lot of options and that they are willing to work with me. Unfortunately, my list doesn't include this place. In the end they also charged me for items I didn't get, so double check your bill if you eat here.

    One star for being able to dine outside. The wine by the glass price is outrageous for barely a 4oz. pour. I'd like 6oz in my glass of overpriced wine thank you. On the menu description for the Caesar salad it reads: romaine, olives, anchovy, parmesan, homemade croutons. When I asked the server if there were actual anchovies on the salad she said NO, only a hint of anchovy in the dressing, but if you want extra anchovy on top we'll charge you extra. I asked: Doesn't the description say it already comes with anchovy? The server had no response. I ordered the Rustica salad instead: field greens, roasted beets, grilled asparagus, roasted red peppers, hearts of palm, goat cheese and balsamic vinaigrette. When it came there was one tiny cube of roasted beet, no red pepper, one julienne'd piece of asparagus, one hearts of palm( obviously from a can ) that was inedible, and no sign of goat cheese. The $15 gorgonzola pizza was tasty but also miniscule amounts of each item were present: gorgonzola, caramelized onions, mozzarella, olive oil, pine nuts, aged balsamic. The brick oven needs to be cleaned, and temp lowered, my fingers were covered black from the burnt crusts which I couldn't eat.

    Tucked into a hard to find spot in growing Southpointe, I was excited to try Toscana based on family recommendations. And while the food was ok, it was nothing extraordinary. Their house made fresh pastas were very overlooked leading to hard edges on lasagna and noodles breaking in the carbonara. The greens and beans were excellent and a Pittsburgh staple, but their tough, chewy veal pieces were a crime. Service was amiable but with poor acoustics for conversation, just an okay marinara sauce, and nothing specifically memorable, we will be exploring other opportunities before returning here anytime soon.

    My family and I were pleasantly surprised! We're Italian and hard to impress, but we all agreed the pizzas were pretty good. I can't vouch for the pasta, though, as we were all in a pizza mood. The place had a nice atmosphere, but was pretty empty for a Tuesday night dinner; I'm assuming the word hasn't gotten out yet. Our only qualm was that the pizzas were pretty tiny for $12-16. They're 10" cut into 8 slices, which isn't enough for even 2 people. Overall, a positive review!

    Zucchini straw and stuffed hot banana pepper appetizers very good. Entree linguini with shrimp spinach,tomatoes w/garlic olive oil a little on the dry side. Linguini with bolognese very good. Service was pleasant. Ate at the bar. Matt and Rick bartender/servers were great. Would definitely come back again to try the pizzas

Pizza

Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.

Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.

Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.

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.
