Reviews for Piazza Talarico and Papa Joe’s Wine Cellar in Pittsburgh, PA

I just love this place. The food is amazing. Those zeppolis (sp?) just melt in your mouth. And I could drink the Barbera all... day. Read more

One of the best Italian restaurants in the city. ???????? Definitely evokes the old vibes of what was once Bloomfield's Little... Italy. Eating at Piazza Talarico feels like you're eating at your grandmother's house. ???? You can't go wrong with anything onthe menu. It is all delicious, especially Grandma's Sauce. And Papa Joe's wine is out of the world. ???? Tannat is my favoriteand the twisted red and white wine slushie is so fun. I love this place. It's family owned and operated by great people too.

My husband and I are so happy we came across this little slice of heaven. We stopped in for lunch, we were looking for outdoor... seating, the day was beautiful! I had a glass of wine (love a cab and they helped me with one I might like and let me sample1st) it was so delicious. Had the cantaloupe/prosciutto appetizer, we were pleasantly surprised!! Yum we love both and togetherwas perfect. I had the meatballs and my husband the meatball sandwich it was really good. LOVED the outdoor seating. It wasshady and the birds were chirping. This place is a hidden gem and I would recommend it for sure! Read more

We were looking for a family owned Italian restaurant with outdoor seating and got the jackpot with Piazza Talarico. This... wonderful family made us feel instantly at home offering us samples of their homemade wine and chatting about our time visitingthe city. Dinner was perfection. Simple ingredients prepared beautifully. It was exactly what we needed after a busy weekend andrushed meals. I can't say for certain that we will return to Pittsburgh but we hope to and Piazza Talarico and Papa Joe's winewill definitely be on our list Read more

This place was incredible!! The bread came first. Fresh with a Zesty marinara and adults dipping sauce (Idipped all of the oil... and ordered more to take home). The pastas were incredible to say the least. Very simple, but so delicious. The owner helped uspick the wine that would best fit, and it all came together beautifully. It is a cozy place, maybe 20 people at best. You candrive right past it easily. By the way their meatballs are to die for Read more

This has hands down become my favorite Italian spot in Pittsburgh. I?ve driven past it a million times and am so regretful I... didn?t go sooner! The marinara sauce is the best I?ve ever had (you?ll get it with the bread?it?s fantastic), the wine is anamazing price, and the entrees are wonderful (also the best meatballs I?ve ever had). I love their outdoor patio. On top of allthat, they?re a family-run business that pays their staff extremely well, while also keeping prices extremely fair! I can?t sayenough good things about this place. Give them your business!! Read more

Amazing food! Three of us shared two pizzas and a pasta and went home stuffed. Along with a caraf of wine and dessert, this... place has everything! Great service and homey atmosphere. We'll be back! Read more

Friendly service and really good food. Not your average $8.50 hoagie. Very tasty. I really enjoyed the patio out back. Quiet and... pleasant. Tasted some of their house-made wine. I think I will get that next time instead of the beer. Read more
