Cenacolo Restaurant

This hidden gem must be kept a secret! My parents recommended this restaurant after someone took them here for dinner. The restaurant is located in their old warehouse where they originally just made the noodles. Now they do everything here! So the industrial chic vibes are off the charts. The food is even better. WARNING: you will not finish everything. And that's okay, it's meant to be like this. Be prepared to take leftovers and enjoy them the next day.I highly recommend getting a charcuterie board, burrata, burrino, or really any appetizer especially the cheesy bread. My main entree: Tagliolini had jumbo lump crab meat. It tasted even better the next day! The wine was divine. We'd probably eat here more often if it wasn't so far away.

We went here for lunch and were very disappointed. We were having a day out and decided to get someItalian, and Cenacolo was a real let down mostly because of the service. It was us and one other table at the time, they did say there was a party coming in, however, that should not have impacted our service our server couldn't pronounce the specials, didn't know anything about drinks offered, and frankly it didn't feel like she remembered we were there most of the visit. It took 45 minutes for our "cheese and bread" appetizer, which really was just toasted bread with melted cheese on it, so not sure why it took 45 minutes. Anytime we asked our server about something we had previously ordered/asked for we were told "it's coming" we lost all faith that we'd ever receive anything. When we received our entrees we asked about bread service and we were told yet again @its coming" in a restaurant that offered bread service, we probably should have received it prior to entrees, and should NOT have had to ask for it. Now the entrees were good. The pasta tasted fresh and we were all extremely pleased with our food. The portion was extremely generous, we couldn't believe we received half portions, because they were huge! So the food was good, but the service was 0 stars, and for a lunch, it should not have taken 2 hours. Thankfully we were not on a lunch break and had the day off because this is definitely not the place to go for lunch in a work day.

We don't get out this way very often but am so glad we remembered this amazing restaurant. We thoroughly enjoyed everything we ate. The meal started off with the burratino which was, as my mom said, like the best grilled cheese you could ever eat. The bread was buttery, cheesy goodness. The salads were so fresh and delish. Loved the balsamic vinegar, tomato and grated cheese. Mmmmm. The gnocchi had a huge amount of the most tender short rib and the gnocchis were so tender. My husband had the daily special with beef, pork and lamb. He absolutely loved it and thought it was so super tender and flavorful. My mom loved her Cretino. The pasta was huge, the meatballs were tender, the pancetta was crispy and everything was flavorful. You got huge portions which make the price tag easier to take. Loved the limoncello and amaretti cookies at the end! What a great surprise!The hostess, waitress and rest of the staff were all very nice, accommodating and knew how to treat their customers. You must have this delicious food when out this way. You will love it and won't be sorry.

Everything (service, food, and ambiance) was absolutely perfect! Highly recommend for any occassion!!!

I first tried the braised short rib gnocchi from here at a catered event, and it was maybe the best thing I ever tasted. My boyfriend and I recently went to the restaurant for dinner and it did not disappoint! For an appetizer, we ordered meatballs. They were very soft and flavorful! We also had to get the braised short rib gnocchi again, and we got a seafood pasta that was a special containing crab, tomato, and lemon. Both dinners were amazing, huge portions as well! I thought the service was great and enjoyed the olives and lemon cookies provided at the start and end of the meal! They offer a lot of cooking classes here as well which seems really fun!

Cenacolo is our choice for any special occasion! They never disappoint and always make the occasion so special! Their pasta is all handmade and delicious! We love going for Restaurant Week to try all of their one-off pasts. The greens and beans are a MUST! Come hungry. My favorite Italian restaurant in or around pittsburgh!!

Really nice ambiance , perfect for a dinner party or date night,Pasta is incredible-always take the bait and order something out of your food comfort zone. You will be pleasantly surprised! Servers have always been top notch . Bonus points for delicious salad and honey butter.

Still great! Amazing pasta, appetizers, wine and desserts. We enjoyed our wedding anniversary with friends and had a wonderful time. Service by Casey was warm, friendly, while giving us plenty of time to enjoy conversation along with a beautiful meal. Special thanks to Steve and Jen for making our day so special!

Coming from an Italian family, grandparents came from. Italy, this was a nice surprise! The home made pasta is as good as my grandmother's! Not over cooked and limpy just right. A bit expensive considering the location but once you smell Italy as you walk in the door, you forget about the location. This brought me back home. I just wish all my family could enjoy it with us!

Botched event... Read a Facebook ad for a "fun night out" including pizza ovens, wine, bands. The ad said to call Cenacolo for reservation's, so I did. The ad NEVER mentioned this was a pop-up pizza event, separate from the restaurant. Upon arrival, we were sat in the main restaurant, away from the event. When I asked if there was availability in the event room, which I thought I originally booked, I was passed around to multiple, clueless hostesses who were unable to accommodate my family of 4. Since the children were looking forward to pizza and would not have access to that on the restaurant side, we left. This whole situation was handled horribly by the business, who refused to admit fault in their misleading ad. I've been to this place many times before with no issues, but this situation will be hard to recover from, especially with the unnecessary attitude from ownership.
