Piccolo Forno is the BEST Italian food you can ever ask for and find in Lawrenceville!!! My husband and I had our first date here back in 2019, so we thought it would only be fitting to have our wedding reception here as well. We recently rented their private event space and couldn’t have been happier with the outcome! From the very beginning, the communication with Nealey (the restaurant’s manager) was very thorough and she was always willing to answer any and all questions I had. She was able to accommodate our guests different dietary restrictions in addition to my husband’s celiac disease. Our waiters were Bri and Addison for the night and they were incredibly polite and professional. We were so stunned by how beautifully all of the food and our decorations were displayed! All of our guests (and us!) were more than content and enjoyed ourselves throughout the entire night. Thank you Nealy and Piccolo Forno staff for being a part of our special day and being so welcoming with our son! It’s not often you can find amazing food, wonderful service, and a kid friendly atmosphere at restaurants anymore.. but Piccolo Forno is where you can find all three! :) (photos by Carmen May Photography)

Senti is a little Pittsburgh gemstone! The cuisine is fine Italian food like you'd get on a cobblestone street outside of Milan. The atmosphere is peaceful, the service is excellent, and the prices are good. I love the white table cloths, the food made with fresh authentic ingredients, and am especially grateful for the gluten free pasta. I had the most peppery, savory, cheese mouth watering penne and ate every bite: Pasta Cacio e Pepe. You can tell when food is made with passion.

I am gluten-sensitive, but realized I can have sourdough, so my boyfriend and I tried this place out for Valentine's Day! It was delicious!! We got a round pizza and a pepperoni roll as well as some beers, and it was all delicious! The staff was also great and the atmosphere was cosy!

I am so happy to finally have a go-to place for bagels and coffee (among other treats) in Pittsburgh! The staff is fantastic; so helpful, welcoming and accommodating. Their selection of bagels and HOMEMADE cream cheese is outstanding and their menu is also inclusive for those who might be gluten free with their “bowl” options. Their products are incredibly fresh and they brew local La Prima coffee in addition to having other local baked goods available for purchase. Can’t say enough good about Brooklyn Bagel at Arsenal - such a truly special place to have in Pittsburgh!!

Amazing juices and great grab and go options! I love their spring rolls. Their kitchen is 100% gluten free which makes me a happy celiac!

So good. Leo was super friendly and provided great service. He explained that the arepas are made fresh every day. And bonus for us, gluten free without any modifications. We are planning on coming back very soon to try more of the menu.
