   The food authentic and very good. The place was intimate low noise level The staff was amazing personable very knowledgeable on the menu. The owner/chef came out and talked to us explaining how he makes the food and why it is so unique:) highly recommend trying it out. I am returning to try the pear ravioli

   We’ve been to Nancetta’s several times and it’s always a wonderful experience. The food is carefully made and the entree/side combinations are spot on. This is not a place to go if you’re in a hurry. The emphasis is on quality and that takes time. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly and attentive but not overly so…I personally don’t care for frequent table visits, but that’s me. For a small place the noise level is quite fine; we didn’t have any difficulty hearing each other. Delicious food, delicious drinks and appealing decor. It will be in our regular rotation.

   Nancetta's RistoranteResponded on January 17, 2023Thank you Carol for your review. We appreciate your kind comments and the 5 stars. Look forward to your return. Nancettas

   As a repeating customer, we invited friends, who were never at Nancetta’s Ristorante, to join us as a party of four for our Holiday dining. This five-star Italian restaurant, locally-owned, is tucked away in the one of the nooks and crannies of Pittsburgh and consistently delivered the best of the best dishes in the form of spreads, appetizers, salads, soups, entrees, deserts and speciality drinks, all of which are freshly made within the realm of Italian cuisine. Our bartender and waiter, Jay, continued to provide impeccable attention to our table. Jay genuinely provided above-and-beyond service to our party that is professional, thoughtful, courteous, accommodating, caring, kind, considerate, respectful, attentive and passionate with sprinkles of delightful humor. The owners, husband and wife, equally provide such service to our table and noticeably to all other tables in the restaurant. This restaurant is indeed a rare, precious gem conveniently located close to the exit of Route 28. For those looking for a top notch small, reliable local restaurant that serves up freshly made, homemade Italian cuisine, this is it. Our sincere thanks and gratitude to Jay and the owners of Nancetta’s Ristorante. Our party of four expect to be repeating customers who also purchased gift cards for their family to dine at this exceptional restaurant.

   Disappointing dining experience! This was my first time dining at Nancetta's. My girlfriend and I met there for dinner and we immediately commented on the coziness of the small dining room which had lovely Christmas trees throughout, but, the room did have a chill. Our server was polite and friendly and attentive. The menu included a very nice variety of specials. I chose Virginia Spot (romano style) The portion was ample but very greasy, saturated and unappetizing! The only side vegetable offered was roasted red pepper which was bland and disappointing as well. I had two flutes of Prosecco but certainly not worth $14 each for LaMarca (average brand at best) Quite bold and rude!! I wasn't offered a wine list to review the selections and prices. My mistake! The coziness deteriorated when we could hear the entire conversations of the few surrounding customers. And our server mingled with them and shared stories of his private life. Very unprofessional! A man overheard me mention another restaurant and approached our table unannounced to comment. Of course my reaction was "excuse me?" We didn't know at that time that he was the owner. On a positive note, we did meet the co-owner and chef who was very warm and friendly! In closing: I have been to excellent Italian restaurants in Pittsburgh and surrounding areas that are far better choices. Joe Tambellini's remains #1 !!!

   This was our first time eating at Nancetta’s. It is a very small place with an eating area and kitchen. After our food was ordered we heard crashing of things, loud voices arguing and swearing and the server coming out and putting on his jacket. He was also swearing and quite upset. He eventually came back, our food was served but no apologies were given. The owner and his wife came out but still no apologies. We were a little afraid but it seemed like it was a common occurrence. Not what we had in mind after a week of work.

   Nancetta's RistoranteResponded on December 5, 2022We apology for anything you were subjected to during your visit to Nancettas in November. Your assumption that this happens regularly "It Does Not." Our entire computer system for the Point of Sales crashed the day before you dined and was not operating when you were there. Everyone was stressed. Unfortunately, you heard the argument in the kitchen. we apologize. Please come back and ask for Paul or Nancy.

    Nancetta's RistoranteResponded on August 15, 2022What is your definition of terrible service in an Authentic Italian restaurant. Evidently you don't understand fine dining. With all due respect you should go to Olive Garden. We had 2 waitstaff and 3 in the kitchen.

    The veal Romano was very good. Very small portion. My husband’s veal piccata was also very small. The service was very slow but the waiter was very nice.

    Nancetta's RistoranteResponded on August 10, 2022Thank you for your review. We serve 4 ounces of veal. This is restaurant industry standard. If you want a larger serving, we will gladly accommodate you and price it according. Fast food isn't good and good food is fast. We appreciate your input and look forward to your return. Nancettas

    I’ll start out by saying the service was great! We had Jay and a young lady who seemed to be a trainee and they were both awesome. I went here for a date with my boyfriend and the best part about the evening was my martini and the ambience. The food wasn’t great.. I work in fine dining, and I’m sorry but this food was not fine dining. I had the scallop special which were supposed to be U10’s and they were the size of my fingernail. Then to top it off I found a tiny hair in my food… my boyfriend was disappointed by his Alfredo with salmon.. The food needs a MAJOR overhaul…

    Nancetta's RistoranteResponded on June 20, 2022Kate: The scallops were 10-20 Dry pack. We are unable to get U10 Dry pack at times. You received 4 instead of 3 Scallops. Quality and flavor are what matters most. You ate the entire dish then announced you found a hair? We examined the dish and found a piece of corn silk from shucking ears of corn. Regardless you fail to mention that we comped the dish. Boyfriend had Gnocchi, Lemon Caper Smoked Salmon not the Alfredo. We will be happy to explain if you join us again. Nancettas
