Meloni's Restaurant

I've been coming to Meloni's for years. We prefer sitting in the bar area, but no matter where you decide to sit, services is always excellentOn Thursday, Friday and Saturday they do a prime rib that is the best in Southwest PA. They've been making the same sauce for years and never disappoints.They also have the best blue cheese dressing for your saladsOne of the few local spots, where your drinks are always perfect . If you haven't been here, you need to go.

Old school Italian joint.Prices were very reasonable, food was good, service on point and ambience was definitely old school. Spaghetti and sandwich were decent. Caution, chili has some spice to it.

Food is ALWAYS GOOD. Service is good and friendly from local workers. Usually a Special each night like Chicken or Veal Parm. Portions are more than adequate and prices are fair and competitive. A good value for your dinner or lunch.

Had a surprise birthday dinner there, it was amazing. Fast service, great food, friendly staff, reasonable pricing. Go here for authentic Italian fare!

Great food family friendly best Italian restaurant with the best family meals to go !fast service and excellent service

Yelp reviews are good, and here I am, enjoying a delicious meal at a neighborhood restaurant, run by locals. My favorite kind of restaurant.Parking is easy in a lot next to the building, or on street. An old neon sign over the sidewalk lights the way. An awning covered staircase leads to a small vestibule: the restaurant is on your right.A sign instructs to 'seat yourself'. There are two rooms here. On the left is a dimly lit bar area with booths along the wall. This area was full. On the right is a sunny dining area full of red and white checkered table cloth covered tables. The floor tiles are a bit old, but everything is clean, and the decor includes photos of Italian cities and mural. This side was about half full. So even on a week day lunch, this is a popular spot.Our entrees came with a choice of sides. We both opted for the side salad which is an iceberg mix, tomato, cucumber, chopped beet, black olive and crouton with choice of dressing. The bluecheese dressing is rich and flavorful with lots of cheese chunks. Slices of Italian bread and butter were placed on the table as well. We both ordered soft drinks (coke products), but as mentioned, there is a full bar if you want to add a glass of wine or other adult beverage to your meal. My eggplant parm was delicious. Thick slices of eggplant, cooked medium so they still had a nice texture, deep fried so they have a crispy coating, melted cheese on top and then smothered in a delicious red sauce. The sauce was not too light or heavy, plenty of spices, without being over done. A very tasty sauce.My side was fettuccini with white sauce. This has to be house made, with bits of fresh garlic in there. I was already full, but tried to eat as much of this as I could. Bathrooms are clean. Our waitress (Stephanie) was very good and everyone on staff seems friendly. Very happy we tried Meloni's and would definitely return if we find ourselves nearby again.

I will start this by saying the rating for food-taste and service alone should be higher than a 3 star rating. I'd put that at a 5! However, I can't rate it higher--let me explain.I have now been here 3 times as of writing this review, all visits being in the past few months. Pre-Covid, my brother and sister-in-law raved about this place. As they knew how much I loved Italian food, they told me I needed to go. They raved about the food quality, the portion sizes, and the service.After my last 3 visits, I will say the food quality and the service has been top notch. The food itself has quickly became one of my families favorites, as far as "taste" goes.Unfortunately, I have to ask--what the heck is up with the portions we have been getting? My brother and SIL, who prompted us going in the first place, went with us on each of our visits. Even they said, "WTH is up with these portions?". Is it a coming-out-of-covid thing, or what? For example, we ordered full size spaghetti dinners, stuffed shell dinner, chicken parm dinner, alfredo, and one of the pasta specials. Our "large" pasta sizes were pretty much the same size as the kids dinners that they got! I truly don't understand how or why this has been going on, but for the price tag--I will not be going out of my way for these portion sizes. My chicken parm, for example--all 3 times I got a tiny, small piece of chicken, and a side of spaghetti that was gone in 2-3 "twirls". For $18? If it weren't for the bread, we would have literally walked away still hungry.It's super sad, though. It's some of the best tasting food I've had. Based on taste alone, I would give this place 5 stars! We've not had anything we didn't like. Love the salads, and the spaghetti sauce is delicious. Service was also phenomenal. I don't get it. The food taste definitely lived up to the hype my family provided, but even they realize something is going on here. And, it wasn't just an isolated thing....

Worst restaurant meal I had in my 50 years of life! Basically the salad I got was a pile of iceburg lettuce with sandwich meat and fake cheese sliced and put on top, one large olive cut in half, two cherry tomatoes and one boiled egg cut in half with a bunch of croutons. The picture is after I tried to eat it and what I left behind. Our waitress obvoiusly knew the food was bad because she never asked us how it was or asked if I wanted a to-go box. This is obviously a local dive where people come to bs rather than enjoy good food. The next day the made-to-order salad I got from the 24/7/365 gas station was 100x better than this one.

This is an amazing restaurant. I can't say enough. I love the breaded veal cutlet it is so delicious.
