Legends Eatery

My recent experience at Legends was nothing short of disappointing due to the unwelcoming and discriminatory behavior of the staff. From the moment we arrived, we felt as if our presence was somehow a bother. Despite not having a reservation , we were told there were no available tables. We looked around and couldn't help but notice that more than eight tables were visibly empty.It was hard not to feel that our appearance and race influenced the treatment we received. Rather than a friendly greeting, we were met with cold stares, and when we inquired politely about the open tables, we were dismissed without an explanation.We were genuinely looking forward to dining at this establishment, but the cold and unfriendly reception made us feel incredibly unwelcome. Dining out should be about enjoying food and atmosphere--not facing subtle, yet unmistakable, discrimination. I hope this restaurant can reflect on its approach and work towards creating a truly inclusive and welcoming environment for all its patrons.PS. What ever cake is on the menu it's from Walmart I saw it as I walked by the open kitchen door

When I visited Pittsburgh recently, I gave it a try again and the food went down hill. You can tell the servers were not happy to be there. Salad was still good though so that's the only positive.

We had a wonderful dinner at Legends on a supposed to be eventful night. We had reservations for a Wednesday before a concert, but the concert was canceled. We decided to keep our reservations, and I am so glad we did! We had arancini and a pizza for an appetizer. The bread along with the arancini was so tasty! The pizza was good not great...try something else at this amazing establishment. My husband and I shared two dinners. We shared the penne vodka and the shrimp pasta...both were delicious! We can not wait to go back and try something other dishes

We made a reservation for Saturday with Dan the owner/chef. He was very friendly over the phone. We wanted dinner before going to the play at the Benedum. We arrived early for our 5.30 reservarion and they were able to seat us straightaway.The menu has good options and the place is BYOB, we saw many tables with wine or beer. Our server was great and attentive cosidering how many tables she had.The place is small and it gets wuite loud in there. But the service is efficient, we got bread and oil with our drinks. The entrees come with a soup or salad, both were good options.We got the arancini was great, you get 4 pieces with blue cheese on a bed of spinach.For entrees we got the chicken Romano, Chicken Parmigiana, the special scallops and shrimp and a GF rice linguine was tasty.Overall for being on the Northside this is a great Italian spot. The size does make it loud in there, but the tables are spaced comfortably so that you do not feel cramped. The coconut cream pie was the hit of the evening and so big it fed 3 of us.

Legends is always a great choice! It's BYOB with a cozy atmosphere, delicious food, and great service. We went on a Wednesday night and had one of the best gnocchi dishes I've had in a long time--they make them by hand! The bolognese sauce was perfect, and we started with a tasty pastini soup (daily special). Ideal spot for a date night! Only thing I'd note is that they gave us water cups for the wine instead of wine glasses, which threw me off a bit (I'm particular about my stemware!).

Legends Eatery opened in 2002 and serves old-school Italian-American cuisine in a casual atmosphere. Its menu lists appetizers such as mussels and meatballs, entrees such as veal parmigiano and fettuccini alfredo, and desserts such as fried cannolis and chocolate cake. The restaurant serves beverages such as sodas, coffees, and teas but is BYOB for alcohol. The restaurant's website recommends making a weekend reservation at least two weeks in advance, so I instead ordered food through their website for pickup. After 24 minutes, the restaurant emailed me that my food was ready.The restaurant is located near Allegheny General Hospital and appears to have limited parking, so my husband dropped me off and drove around the neighborhood while I went inside the restaurant to pick up the food. An employee immediately and kindly greeted me, handed over my bag of food, asked if I needed any utensils, and thanked me.Here are my reviews for my foods:Penne blackened shrimp ~ $21 - 4.5 stars - The penne pasta was cooked well, and it was topped with delicious shrimp, cherry tomatoes, portobello mushrooms, oil, and garlic. On the side were a small salad with my choice of balsamic dressing and an add-on of a few small slices of focaccia bread. Caesar salad ~ $18 - 3.5 stars - The mixed greens, olives, red peppers, and cheese were very fresh. I had not ordered chicken, but the restaurant included chicken. Caesar dressing was in separate containers.Meatball parm sandwich ~ $17 - 3 stars - My husband ordered this hoagie, and he ate only half of it. The hoagie roll was from Breadworks, and it contained large meatballs, cheese, and sauce. On the side was a small salad with mixed greens, carrots, onions, cucumbers, cheese, and my husband's choice of ranch dressing.Mozzarella ~ $10 - 3 stars - Large triangular chunks of mozzarella cheese were fried, and my husband ate most of them. On the side was marinara sauce.I also had ordered a 6.75-ounce bottle of Perrier for ~ $6, but I did not have a bottle opener to open it, so I saved it for later.

Family owned delicious Italian foods & dessert restaurant located in the North Side. This restaurant is BYOB, highly recommend reservation if you're going on the weekend- they have a very small bar area that's open seating. The most fresh and incredible pasta! Their coconut cream pie is to die for!!!

Great food. BYOB. And I have to type more so I'm doing that Vic numb. Long joining going Huch

One of the best Italian restaurants in Pittsburgh! They have a great selection of food. They are also BYOB

I have been wanting to try Legend's for a long time, several years now. And, I finally did it. I tried a pretty solid range of items: the penne vodka, apple pie, house made focaccia bread, and side salad.Let's start with the main course, the penne vodka. I've actually never had this dish before, but I thought it was very well made! The portion was definitely adequate, and it was clearly high quality. It's quite creamy, and doesn't taste like vodka at all. A tad bit of sweetness to it too. There's not much prosciutto, and it was all just kind of one clump in the bottom of the pasta, but it was still good.The side salad served complimentary with it was actually surprisingly good. Not just lettuce and cucumbers like in many other places. They had carrots, onions, spinach, blue cheese, and a very tasty ranch. The ranch, while very good, had a sort of grainy-ness to it, in texture. Other than that, fresh and very good!The little pieces of bread were also a lovely complimentary treat. I believe they are made in house, and I loved them. They'd be even better with a little oil (and I think they do have that option as an appetizer).Finally, the caramel apple pie. It was good, but a bit of a let down. The crust was kind of flavorless, and there wasn't really a strong caramel flavor to it. It was still good, and a great serving (although also pretty expensive), but not the best I've had.All in all, a very good, quantity, little Italian spot on the North side. Great spot for celebrations and high quality food. I would recommend!
