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.

Lombardozzi's is a wonderful Italian restaurant in Pittsburgh's Little Italy, Bloomfield. It is conveniently located right across the street from West Penn Hospital. I eat here every time I come to Pittsburgh, and I am never disappointed with the service or the food. The menu is extensive and authentic Italian "just like Grandma used to make". Raviolis? Fresh. Sauce? Homemade. Meatballs? Melt in your mouth. The one problem that I have with Lombardozzi's is the parking situation in the neighborhood. It is impossible to get a parking space around here, even if they have their own parking lot. The best luck that I've had with parking is a block away in the lot next to Immaculate Conception Church. Other than the parking problem, I would highly recommend Lombardozzi's for an authentic, reasonably price Italian meal in Pittsburgh.

We ate here after my dad was released from West Penn Hospital for heart issues. So we celebrated with heart healthy olive oil based food haha. Lombardozzi's is not only fun to say but a good place to eat. Friendly good service. Little antipasto appetizers set out while you decide from the menu. Top notch place.

Best Italian comfort food buffet in Pittsburgh. The real deal. Looks like a location for a Martin Scorsese movie. They have regular menu-order items but I only go for lunch to have the buffet with its somewhat revolving dishes . The meat-balls are amazing. Chicken parm/marsala pure oral delight . Try it, if you haven't .

I moved to Bloomfield in April and being Italian and loving Italian food I thought that Little Italy would be a good fit, I was wrong... Until tonight. I have found that every Italian restaurant I've tried has left much to be desired; from Del's atrocious food to the over hyped Pleasure Bar, I had not found an Italian joint I liked. Lombardozzi, I have not clue why I had not tried you until tonight. I had tried their meatballs during Little Italy Days and really enjoyed them, but always forgot to head down the block to try a whole meal. We started with calamari and it was fried t to perfection, and no rubbery feel, which is a positive, because 99% of places outside the east coast can't to calamari to save their lives. I had the gnocchi with red sauce (only sauce option which kind of irks me, because gnocchi is great with a pesto) with meatballs. The gnocchi is homemade and to die for, and the sauce is pretty good too (I'm a sauce snob, nobody beats my mothers or grandmothers) and the meatballs were as good as I remembered. Great food experience, but the service was at best bad. The waitress took over five minutes to get our drink order, and just kind of seemed annoyed at the whole working thing. I will be back, because there is no Italian food in Bloomfield that even comes close to Lombardozzi.

I agree with Darren's review. We came here with one of his friends from high school who is from Bloomfield not long ago. My Ginger Salmon was ok and not a whole lot more. They grill it and serve it on top of a shrimp risotto. It sounds better than it was. They also overdress their salads, and the service is choppy but friendly. I liked the decor myself. Overall, it is a very average restaurant from my POV.

Meh, if I'm feeling generous I'd give it another 1/2 star for the Italian wedding soup but my gnocchi and veal marsala were only worthy of a review to keep the exuberant reviews from getting out of hand. I suppose I was expecting more out of Bloomfield, I would expect this service and quality outside of Little Italy. I'd eat there again but it doesn't make me want to go back without trying other restaurants in the area.

I have been here only for the lunch buffet, thus can speak only about it. I wish I had more opportunity to dine here and regret that it is offered only Mondays through Fridays. I love it! For the low price of $8.95, one has a choice of several delicious dishes, soup, and cake. There is a small salad bar which includes cole slaw, salad mix, a salad with small pieces of fresh broccoli and cauliflower, and sometimes potato salad. There is always fried zucchini (one of the best I have had), a pasta dish (most recently, it was thin pasta noodles in a garlic sauce with small pieces of fresh broccoli), meatballs, chicken picaata with fresh mushrooms, chicken drumsticks, and fish. I suppose the decor is dated, but it suits me just fine. The restaurant is attractive and comfortable. The service is generally excellent although there appears is a high staff turnover. I do not often have the same waitress twice. The owner is often present during lunch, which is the mark of a fine restaurant. The place is never crowded, and it is a shame because the lunch buffet is something wonderful!

No idea how this place is still in business. Dad and I came in on a Thursday night. Our waiter was the cook, bartender, and host. For two hours, this place was deserted except for us. A touch suspicious. I ordered a gnocchi dinner with lobster and crab in Alfredo sauce ($22.95). There was a plethora of seafood in this dish, although it was not the best gnocchi I have ever eaten. The Alfredo sauce was also a bit too garlicy because it lacked any other flavoring. The entree was not bad, but it wasn't the greatest Italian food either. The fresh bread was good. However, I was really unimpressed with the salad. The dressing was overly strong, and there was far too much of it. Just an ok meal. In the future, I will definitely go to the Pleasure Bar over Lombardozzi's. The food is cheaper and the quality of the Italian food is better.

Waited 20 minutes for two glasses of wine. When they came they were filthy to the point where they were covered in lipstick. I'll never try the food here.

Attended a party for my celebrating my cousin's college graduation. The private room is a wonderful place to celebrate and have fun with family and friends. The food, I always enjoy. Very tasty and filling, great service as well.

I came here awhile back, wanting to sample some of the Italian restaurants in Bloomfield. I came on a weeknight around 7pm, and it wasn't crowded at all. I ordered the gnocchi. It was okay, and not a bad meal, but it didn't wow me--it wasn't really anything out of the ordinary. On the plus side, my waitress was attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere was nice for a date. Overall, an okay option for Italian, but I doubt I'll be back anytime soon, since there's better to be had elsewhere in PGH.

Don't waste your time! Oh, where should I start..? My family and friends came here for a Sunday lunch. The prices are crazy high (for -cheap- pasta). The menu outside the building and website doesn't match what they show you at the table. One of our guest was the last one to receive his perfectly square cheese ravioli and the filling was still frozen! (You'd think that for a $16 ravioli plate you'd get home made). After they microwaved it it was barely fit to eat. Some had flavorless Chicken Piccata, Fish and Eggplant Parmigiana. The atmosphere didn't help. The only thing with an aroma in this place was the tomato sauce. I don't understand the big fuzz some make about this restaurant. What a joke!

Family friendly! While some reviewers may lament the outdated interiors, a feature that was not missed by me, I will merely say that Lombardozzi proved to be the best venue for our toddler that we have come upon in months. Our server did not know the difference between bolognese and meat sauce, but she brought soup and milk for our toddler faster than you can say pronto! She fawned over our daughter and made us feel comfortable. Additionally, the owner and chef both came to our table to talk to us. My husband and I felt like we were eating at a friend's house, and that warmth is a hell of a lot sexier than any atmosphere we've gotten in a swanky Shadyside lounge. We ordered simple pasta dishes: linguine and meat sauce, and spaghetti and meatballs. The pasta was fresh and al dente; the garnishes were tasteful and classic; the sauces were remarkable. I recommend this place for the food and congenial service. It would easily get 5 stars if we hadn't sat in the outdated bar.

Well, as stated in the previous review of their lunch buffet, we finally went for dinner, and were horribly disappointed to discover a night-and-day comparison between the lunch and dinner. I had gnocchi, she had Veal Imperial, and we ordered 'traditional style' which meant for an addition $4 it came with marinated mushrooms, Clams Casino, soup and salad. My friend left 1/3 of her veal dish on her plate and didn't want to take it home. I took a bite, and my tongue experienced absolutely no flavor, to the extent that I had to take a sip of my iced tea to see if I was getting a cold and losing my sense of taste. I could taste the tea. I could taste absolutely NOTHING from her veal. With the gnocchi, I ordered the sausage, which was again $3 extra, and when it arrived it was a flat sausage patty cut in half, that tasted like a dry sausage McMuffin patty. The salad was basic iceberg lettuce and a few other veggies. The wedding soup had two tiny meatballs and about 1/3 cup of celery. The meal in general was a total disaster, but we ordered dessert anyway, and the tiramisu was still partially frozen. Then the bill came to over $82. We could not believe that we'd enjoyed the lunch buffet so completely, which was only $7.95, and that this dinner, as overpriced as it already was, was so completely void of flavor and character. It's baffling to comprehend that an Italian restaurant that's been around as long as they have would still survive with these prices and total lack of quality for dinner. We had gone in with such high hopes. But honestly, for dinner, it was such a huge let-down, we'll never go back. We'll go to the lunch buffet, but never to dinner. It was truly, truly just plain sad.

I pulled into this unassuming restaurant for lunch. The place is old school. I feel as if I am in a Good Fella's movie. There aer 2 standup gambling syle video game machines (think space invaders but they are are called "Magical Odds and the other one is not named but has is a memory game. The place is very friendly. I ordered the wedding soup and the Spinach Gnocchi with a Crown and Diet Coke- I needed a drink after driving the hot wheels track known as Downtown Pittsburgh - I think my GPS needed a drink too ;-)... My wedding soup arrived and I felt it was a littel under seasoned but that is something I can definitely add - no dings here. The Gnocchi arrived and it was quite tasty. The pasta was done right - I had felt like I was eating spinach dumplings. I orignally was going to request a meat but this meal needed none of that nonsense. They have a lunchtime buffet that looked good but I wanted to try something made fresh for my first stop. Overall - I like this place Service - Great - super friendly Food - Very good - The Gnocch and their other homade pastas deserve a try Price - My meal (dinner menu) was $17. Check this place out - it will definitely take you back to the 70's :-)

Kay and I took a friend and Bloomfield native to Lombardozzi for dinner Friday evening. I specifically came to Lombardozzi since it was one of those restaurants that had been nagging me; I hadn't been to Lombardozzi since I joined Yelp 3.5 years ago, my last visit occurring sometime in 2002, I believe. Now, I found nothing "unappealing" about the interiors as another reviewer put it. It is classy and old-fashioned like many a neighborhood restaurant, which puts it in the same realm as nearby Del's. Traditional, modest, and eternal are words that come to mind regarding Lombardozzi. A jolly family banquet was afoot in the room next to us, and we didn't mind in the least as we caught up with one another, carrying on with our lively conversation as the clan behind us did. Thus, we found that the atmosphere was highly welcoming. Overall, Lombardozzi swayed wildly between a 3 and a 4 and stopped somewhere in between for me. For starters, service was somewhat spotty. We had 3 different servers ask us for our orders. Even the third and final server admitted that he was mildly annoyed with the lack of communication. Why I ordered Crabmeat Imperial, I can't tell you. I really didn't know what else I wanted and figured its high price ($25!) would lead me towards seafood euphoria, and it mostly did. Crabmeat and stuffing filled a trio of oyster shells with thick, sweet, meaty succulence, but damn it if the portion was stingy! It was so miserly, I was jealous of what my dining companions ordered for their entrees were not only cheaper, their rations were far more generous! The opening salad suffered from being overdressed with a vinaigrette that I would have liked had my greens not been swimming in it. My last course, on the other hand, was a winning chalice of Bananas Foster, which I only ordered since the restaurant was out of most of their other desserts for the evening. A rite of cinnamon, caramel, vanilla ice cream, whipped topping, and of course, bananas, I was reminded of why BF is the most ornate of all sundaes. Warmth dandled with cold. Salt and spice embraced sugar and cream. Chunks of hot, pappy starch mingled with everything. Elegance, simple, elegance. Did I merely order poorly? You tell me. I REALLY wanted to like Lombardozzi more than I did. Something's telling me that a return visit and a plate of meatball-studded gnocchi will yield better results.

Love this place!! The ambiance is nostalgic.. old-school, vintage Italian.. you think tony bennett is going to come walking in the door at any moment. They should not remodel because this place is a throwback to a time we all miss. The food is impeccable. I love the ginger salmon but my boyfriend's Ravioli was heavenly. You can tell the sauce is homemade. I will be back for sure.
