This place only gets 1 star. My girlfriend and I ordered dinner here a few nights ago and she wanted "Homeade" Gnocchi and I wanted the Alfredo that the waitress said was also homeade. Well that was a HUGE lie. When the waitress walked pass us after taking another tables order I again asked if it was REALLY homade pasta...and she finally told us NO! She said they come from a company called GFS. Anyway it tasted like factory made flash frozen pasta and was not good at all! We won't go back and will NOT recommend this place to anyone! Save a trip and go somewhere else to eat.

The stuffed shells here are amazing. They give such huge portions that you'll have enough for 2 meals. My husband had the bruschetta chicken and he also really enjoyed his meal. The half portions are the normal size for a dinner portion, so get that unless you're really hungry!

The decor is a bit strange and dated and the sad little strip mall is practically empty; the food however is another story, and the service is friendly. I especially enjoy the sauces used on the pastas. Not bad for Lower Burrell.

If you like Olive Garden, you'll like this place. The Italian cuisine is delicious. The bread is very fresh and the garlic butter dip is very tasty. The wedding soup is quite good and filling. The portion sizes are very large but I liked that the menu had a section specifying "for smaller meals" in case you're not that hungry. The appetizers were great. We got the platter to try a little bit of everything from the appetizer list. The atmosphere is very cute. A little fountain, some Christmas lights, a dim lit environment. It's a relaxing feeling.

The wedding soup was very good. Oil and garlic dipping sauce for Italian bread, not the best bread but pretty good. Baked cod and veal Parmesan both very good with great portions and pricing.

Love the food, the owners are as genuine as it gets and service to good! Only knock is really not the place itself...hard to make this place a destination - L Burrell needs to draw in some other attractions!

Italian home cooking at its best! This cozy little establishment is nestled in the Hillcrest Shopping center. Upon entering the restaurant, a cute little cafe area welcomes you boasting homemade Italian cookies and candies on display at the counter. Beyond the cafe area is dining area with a great fountain in the center of the room. Loved the fountain! BYOB, friendly and attentive staff. We ordered yummy bruschettas to start. Following that I had a bowl of wedding soup which was delicious. I really should have stopped with the soup. It was alot of food already. For my entree, I had shrimp scampi and requested angel hair for my pasta. I wasn't able to finish the large portions and brought home a little bit of everything. My husband ordered stuffed eggplant, and I have to say that it was one of the best items on the menu, as it was stuffed with cheese and spinach. No room for dessert!

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.
