Vallozzi's Pittsburgh

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free

My husband and I mourned the loss of our favorite restaurant, The Carlton , when it closed during the pandemic . What restaurant would match the attention to detail in food quality, aesthetically pleasing food, service, and decorum? The answer is Vallozi's. I was served by Katie, who understood what wine would match my veal piccatta and my husband's veal strip. The food was cooked to perfection and was very aesthetically pleasing. We followed up our meal with a gluten-free chocolate cake and a glass of chambord liquor before going to The Pittsburgh Symphony. We found our new favorite restaurant. Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free options

Atmosphere: three. Nothing exciting. The entrance is nice and the bar area with large window is decent. Larger part of restaurant is just an open room with tables. Outdated mural on one wall. Service Three: they were busy but our service wasn’t great. I don’t think they had enough waiters for the amount of folks there. Is what it is. Food Two (and this means it was edible but that’s about it): This is where they get the least amount of stars. This is the second time I’ve been here, the first was years ago and we forgot we had come here before. Found the place as available last minute reservation on OpenTable so booked it. When we walked in and recognized where we were…both of us looked at each other and sighed. Food sucked last time, but hey maybe it will be better? No. No it wasn’t. Focaccia was not great. Talia Cucina’s foccacia is amazing compared to this. Clams as app: Disgusting, loaded with weird seasoning and tasted way too fishy. Swordfish, presentation was laughable, looked like it was microwaved on a pile of sh*t. Lemon chicken! This was the server’s recommendation! It was two pieces of over cooked chicken thighs that had no lemon flavoring. It came with one lemon that was chargrilled but there was no actual lemon flavor. It tasted like fried chicken from a corner store. Never again.

What an excellent experience. Katie our server was top notch, food was delicious and the place was very nice.

Absolutely gorgeous place The food was pretty good. The service was great. My only complaint is that the pork in the ravioli was a bit too salty for me and there was sardine slivers on my Caesar salad which I might have missed on them menu description, if it was on there.

Food was average. Brought out the wrong side with my steak. Steak was very chewy and had sauce on it. If a steak needs sauce, it's probably not that good. Tarimusu was awful. Bill was over $200 for two people. Will never be going back. Do not recommend.

Went on a whim.....will definitely go back again. Everything we tried was delicious

We had our annual company Christmas party here... I didn't hear one complaint! Everything from setting up the party with Johanna to valet, waiters, food, drinks & atmosphere was great! Would highly recommend!
