I always liked Del's. I use to work in the area and would frequent this place for lunch. Their ravioli is really scrumptious. I think their prices were fair and their portions decent. Place could use a good cleaning, but it wasn't terrible. I'd go back again.

A Recommendation – I have not been to Del s for a couple of years so I had to give it a 2 star rating for the type of food and service I had at the time.It was definitely not the old Dels food I knew growing up!!Because i am an inner city Pittsburgh girl thru and thru I hate to see the ruination of any of our old establishments,so, after watching the food network show and reading all the other reviews I would like to make a recommendation to you Marianne-I think you could save the restaraunt by highlighting the positive thin... read more

Good Food-Love the atmosphere! – As a supporter of family owned establishments-I truly love this place! I love not being rushed. The owner Marianne makes me feel that she has known me all my life. And the large portions of food are great for late night leftovers. Of course if you eat mostly at chain restaurants, where the food is brought in frozen so it taste the same all over the country, your palate may not be fit for real people in the kitchen cooking your food. My friends and I go to Del's now at least twice a month. We ... read more

AN AWFUL NIGHT – The only reason I even gave it one star is the owner was trying so hard. The food was terrible. We were looking for a restaurant for my son's wedding rehearsal dinner. Had reservations, it didn't matter. From the appetizers to through the end of the entree the food was lukewarm. We were seated in the downstairs room, which has not been redone by Food Network, so atmosphere was dreary and we were seated by a juke box that kept playing randomly -- some might enjoy that, we didn't. A party of 8, no alcohol, or ... read more

NOT WORTH THE TRIP! – First of all, it's a hassle trying to park in an area with a very questionable establishment almost directly across the street. We walked in and it took several minutes before we were acknowledged and taken to our seats. It was quite some time before our waitress appeared and she had tears in her eyes. She apologized for the delay in getting to our table. She said that the owner, Maryanne DelPizzo, had just embarassed her in front of one of her tables. We were told that this lady treats her help this wa... read more

JUST DON'T – All the negitive reviews are so true about this place. They must be getting illegal inspections every year. the kitchens are filthy. There are critters everywhere, including the bread. The owners are just nasty. I haven't figured it out if they are over medicated or coming down off their high. Everything is micro-waved, except for the pasta, and if you saw how that was plated, you wouldn't eat it. Marianne is just an ill-tempered c#*t. Even when a guest gives her a compliment about the server she will find SOMET... read more

Save your money – Worst food I have had in Pittsburgh so far. Service was horrible, the waiter was very rude and could care less about his attitude. The food was just as bad. The chicken in the chicken diablo was totally tasteless and the pasta primo tasted like bad garlic. Do yourself a favor and go a few blocks down to Alexanders.

never again – I have been going to Del's for years. The food is decent, not the best Italian, but OK and you get lots of it. This last time I went, with a friend, both of our wine glasses were filthy! Not just a smudge here or there, but filthy--looked like they hadn't been cleaned at all from the last person using them. Our waitress, Kelly, was totally inattentive and we had to wait to get a different drink, wait to get our order in and she never came back to see if everything was OK or not--which it was OK, but not what we... read more

Former Employee: Telling The Truth – I worked at Del's for a little over two months. This was the third restaurant that I have worked in, and I started working at Del's because it was closer to my home. Anyway, initially, I liked the restaurant and the relaxed atmosphere. However, during my third day of training, one of the servers "jokingly" told me that the restaurant was full of pests. The server said it jokingly, so I didn't pay it any attention. After working at Del's for a week, I realized that the owner, Maryanne, was... read more
