Reviews for DeNunzio's Italian Trattoria in Monroeville, PA

Let me start off by saying the food was wonderful and delicious. I have zero complaints about the amazing eggplant parmesan and... the Cesar salad with my meal. The rest of my group of 4 also seemed very satisfied. With that out of the way the rest of myexperience was far from optimal. For this review I took multiple pictures of the atmosphere, on my way out I attempted to take aphoto of the bar and the entrance when an employee accidentally walked into my shot. I immediately apologized and said "sorry Ididn't mean to get you in the picture" I waited for him to step to the side and I took another picture of the bar and entrance.The employee then followed me to my vehicle and confronted me about the picture. He said "I know what you're trying to do, don'tyou take a picture of me in my place of work" at this point I became extremely irate. I proceeded to explain it was an accidentand that it was for my review and he would not accept that and continued to yell at me. I asked the individual to please goaway and that it was an accident and I'd delete the picture. This was not good enough for this individual so he would not goaway and physically blocked the rest of my group from getting into the vehicle. I cannot believe this employee acted soaggressively over this incident I'm blown away. I've decided due to his extreme lack of professionalism I'd add the picture tothis review so hopefully the management staff can handle this staff member appropriately. I'm extremely disappointed in thisincident and denunzios and I do not plan to visit this location again. My anger did present some profanity on my end, but Ibelieve it was justified. Restaurant management please feel free to reach out to me, the camera equipped to my vehicle recordedthe entire altercation. Read more

Quaint Italian restaurant. Has some nice atmosphere with real table cloths, and cut umbrella ? decorations. A little dark for a... "romantic" vibe ???? Not a lot of vegan options but we tried ???? All desserts appear to be chocolate or cream based so weweren't sure if any were vegan. A nice piece of apple pie would have hit the spot ???? ???? ???????? Read more

Food was good. The waitress needs to let the customer know when they cannot substitute. I asked for cheese ravioli. I do not... eat ground meat. She never told me they would not substitute. I would have changed my selection. I had the ravioli, spaghettiand gnocchi. Read more

Loved it. The only thing I've gotten from denunzio's that I didn't like was Philly cheese steak. And with the amount of food... that they have on their menus I'm sure there's something else on there I might not like. But the food is so good it's going tobe fun as hell trying to find out what that is. Read more

I had never been to this location and met friends for dinner. We were seated promptly and our drink order was taken. Our... waitress was wonderful and although she was busy we had good service. Wish I had taken pictures of our food, which wasfantastic. We also ordered a picture of sangria and were not disappointed. Read more

Rudest Waitress Ever. We had a family dinner at Denunzio’s to celebrate a new baby being born into our family. There were 7 of... us in total (6 adults and 1 child). When I made the reservation, I was not informed of a mandatory 20% gratuity for largeparties. We ate our dinners, which were above average but not excellent. The service was okay, but not excellent. When the checkarrived, we added a 15% gratuity which we felt was appropriate given the service. A few minutes later, our waitress came back tothe table and said that “normally” there is a 20% gratuity for large parties. I asked her what they considered to be a largeparty and she said “‘more than seven.” I thought this was odd since we only had 7 people, but I explained that I was notaware of this, and that normally when restaurants have a minimum gratuity they simply add it onto the check to avoid anyconfusion. Then she said “Well, we don’t do that. We leave it up to you.” Then she said, “Was there a problem with theservice?” Before I could answer, my father in law handed her a $20 bill and that seemed to surprise her. She started to objectto the extra $20 (because this would have put the gratuity well over 20%) and my father in law told her to keep it. I have neverexperienced this kind of treatment from a server, and I was just completely in shock. Denunzio’s, if you have a minimumgratuity, then do everyone a favor and just add it to the check. If it really is up to the customer, then your wait staff shouldnot be confronting guests about whatever gratuity they choose to add. What a horribly awkward and uncomfortable end to whatshould have been a memorable occasion for our family. I will never go back there again. Read more

Great food, I had the eggplant and words cannot describe the flavor. Sorry Mom this was better. Sam our server was very nice an... attended to our needs. Will return to try other dishes. Love this place. Read more

This is a nice comfortable restaurant. 3 of us met for lunch and 2 of us had pasta dishes and salads and one had a fish... sandwich with fries. We had soft drinks/ice tea which our waitress refilled regularly. The food was good and the service wasexcellent. Read more
