We came to Lydia's for the first time last week and it was superb. We both remarked to many of our friends that it was probably one of the best dining experiences that we've had. Our waiter, Cendo, was extremely attentive. The food was remarkable, and the wine was even better. Mark greeted us as w...

My friend and I went to Lidia's yesterday for the first time. I was really expecting much better quality food for the price and the name. We both ordered the pasta trio and were incredibly underwhelmed. For one thing, my friend ordered a garden salad (misti, I believe) and it had chunks of canned to...

Honestly, I really do like coming to Lidia's whenever I can to eat my fill of the pasta trio. However, the last time I came here with my family it was sorely apparent that something was very wrong with the wait staff. Starting from waiting almost 40 minutes between appetizer and entree, to then not ...

Stumbled upon Lidia's on a day trip to Pittsburgh. The food was delicious, the prices were reasonable and the portion sizes were perfect. The restaurant was very nice and the staff was incredible! I definitely will be returning!

Not kid friendly. They don't offer a huge variety of food. Its definetly Italian all the way though. Huge menu of wine and champagne. The waiter was not rude when I had no idea what to order. The menu doesn't have prices on it for a reason.

Ok its pricey, its sorta snooty. But the bone in strip is fantastic. Yeah its 28 bucks but I compared the same dish to another pub restaurant for 18 bucks and there is a difference all the way across the board. Treat your self sometimes.
They should do something about the outside dining. Like a scr...

We were really disappointed. At first they were out of beer. We ordered appetizers, 2 of which were mussels. The waiter came back and said they are out of it. Understandable. My son ordered octopus. They were our 8f it. He ordered fried calamari and got... fried vegetables. He had about 3 calamari...

This was our second time there. The first time was for our anniversary and the food was mediocre, we went again because it was familiar (and we are not from the area) and we have a daughter with an allergy. The service was fantastic...but the food is average. Our daughter has a severe peanut alle...

The restaurant itself looked very nice and spacious. It was a few steps from my hotel so it was an obvious choice. And the hotel recommends it as the place to go. I did and regret my order (see pictures). Soup with too much cheese so after I ate it I was almost full. Then came gnocchi. It looked ver...

You can't beat Lidia's for the quality of the food or the quality of the service. This isn't quite the place for me, though. Much of the food is fancier than my tastes and the prices are higher than I might normally choose to pay. The last 3 of my 4 times eating here have been for work dinners where...

This is a place I had wanted to like because I know folks that do like it and want to visit. The last time we stopped by we wanted to grab a quick bite at the bar so we sat down and waited, and waited. No one approached us. From out two prior visits I thought the food was very average. It's poss...

Service was poor. Waited for water. Waited for pasta cheese. Waited way to long for dinner. Items on salad bar need replenished. 1 item with pasta trio was missing the asparagus and pasta was bone dry. When server stop by to see if we wanted more that batch had shrimp, asparagus and oil with garlic....

Great service, wonderful view, and good food!
Very nice evening celebrating a 50th birthday. Sat on the first level away from the windows (a slight disappointment), and had a nice meal. Very attentive wait staff. Please see the attached photo - seared tuna (was cold; only issue with the meal) that...

I've been in this hotel for 3 days. Service was excellent! My room (1914) has a good view that include the PNC park stadium, with binoculars in the room. The room was very nice. 2 big and very comfortable beds, un business desk, mini bar, coffee table and the bathroom was outstanding. Truly recommen...

The dishes are overpriced for the quality. I got the stuffed quail ($24). It was overcooked and dry. The sauce was thick and sweet. The caesar salad was boring and tasteless. Not what I'd expect for an $8 salad. I frequently spend a lot of money on good food, so it's not the prices that are a shock,...

Fine a Italian food with a comprehensive wine selection. None of our party of 10 had a dud meal, on the contrary the food was of the highest quality. Those that chose the trio of pastas were treated to some well made fare. What's more they were treated to as much as they cared to indulge. The food w...

We went here while we were out for a convention. I love Lidia's program! I ordered a sampler for three pasta dishes which two of them I really enjoyed one of them not as much but they were willing to fill me up on the other ones to appease my appetite. My husband ordered the lobster salad dish which...

I used to have lunch here years ago when I worked in that area. I told my mom it was fantastic. I made reservations for her birthday Saturday, March 9 2019. We drove 40 minutes to get there. Service was slow. 20 minutes to get our iced tea and had to ask for water. I wasn't bothered by the wait. It ...

As others have said here, the food was mediocre, truly. And the service is rushed, a little chaotic, and not so personable. We had the pasta tasting menu for $35 a person. It included a generic small caesar salad. The pastas were a ziti with spicy sauce, no meat, no chunky tomatoes, etc. And about 6...

Went to Lidia's for brunch for the second time and I can't rave about it enough! The 3 courses are an amazing amount of food and the drinks are delicious. My husband devoured the pasta trio (twice!). One of my favorite parts of the meals are the selection of in-house-made butters. Attention to d...

The ambiance was amazing! Beautiful decore and very professional servers. The food was amazing! The pasta was made fresh in house. I ordered the pasta trio which is chef's choice of 3 pastas which change daily and unlimited portions. This is owned by the chef who cooked for Pope Francis 3 years ago...

Three pasta entree was chosen by each of us. The ravioli were outstanding. Fettuccine was a close second....

I used to really enjoy the food here. But the last 2 times I have not had good experiences.
The time before last evening, we had the worst service from our waiter. He took forever to initially come to our table, and it just got worse from there. I had ordered the pasta trio which I love but the bus...

Such a great place for pasta!! We would recommend the pasta trio! So amazing. The flavors were a great mixture. Each one was different and outstanding. We left so full and happy. The servers were so attentive and helpful to answer any questions we had.
