Cafe Notte - Menu

5/5 stars Stopped in late and had an amazing dinner! Cute aesthetic, astrological/constellation theme, with stars on the ceiling (in a cute way not cheesy Super friendly staff, and I got the French dip special sandwich, which was unbelievable. My husband got the vodka pasta sauce, which is also very good :

We called to reserve an outdoor table on a Thursday and when we got there just due to the position of the sun setting, we elected to dine indoors, which the staff was very courteous and happy to relocate us. Also, outside they had a live performer setting up, but they said we could still listen from inside. Upon entry, we made a right to the bar and dinning area. The ceiling is high and had very nice lighting. Our waiter was very attentive. Drinks came out perfect and strong. I played it safe and went with the chicken parm, which was delicious. Kids ordered the pizza which was a pretty big serving size for them, they weren't fond of the crust or sauce. Definitely a place we would have no iss...

Food was good. Signature pasta dish had too much sauce not enough pasta. It was like pasta tomato soup. Their marinara is not too sweet, which we liked. Chicken parmesan was overcooked but well beaten. Negronis were nice. Bar does not have Mezcal, so he couldn 't embellish the Draco with it, but was going to revamp his recipes he said. Menu was fairly simple, which was refreshing. Many italian places have a bajillion offerings (like Falsetti 's) but not quality. This place was quality. Will try it again sometime with family (and reservations). Very busy. Had to sit at bar. She was fully booked otherwise. At 6:30pm on a Saturday night the bar was empty, but the bar area was full.

An okay spot on Ohio River Blvd near Emsworth. I have driven past this place a hundred times and finally had dinner here last weekend. We were seated in the bar area, it has cool starry ceiling but otherwise the decor is a bit dated. Our table was too small for a party of 4. Our waitress was very nice but service was not great. It wasn't even that busy and it took forever for drinks, clearing plates, etc. I started with the Summer Salad which was very good. Entrees come with bread but they served ours at the time our entrees came out, I thought that was a little weird. I had the shrimp scampi which was fine. The pasta was good quality but the dish was so oily/greasy and a pet peeve of mine i...

Our first time dining at Cafe Notte and it was a great experience. All of the staff were so nice and welcoming and the place was very charming. It was my husband's birthday and we had our 2 kids (9 and 11) so I needed to find a place to meet that criteria. He was craving a good chicken Parmesan. I usually use open table to find/book reservations but we had no luck so I googled best Italian restaurants in Pittsburgh. I'm glad we found this spot and bonus that they offered a kids menu. Our older son ordered the focaccia oven cheese pizza and he loved it! Our youngest stuck with the kids menu pizza and raved about it and the super long cheese pull. I ordered the lobster/crab Alfredo with their...

Save yourself from this place. The chef is one of the owners and served a black burnt pork chop and when I asked for a new one came out to the table to tell our entire table we are wrong and that is the only way to cook a pork chop. Everyone else at the table has a dried out broke pasta that clearly sat under heat lamps for more than 15 minutes. Then when they staff tried to apologize and help us with the check since 3 people physically could not eat their dinners they still charged us full price for everything. And the icing on the cake ...4 and a half hours it took us to eat dinner from the time we sat down to the time we finally got a check. How this place makes it into restaurant week ev... View menu

Charming little restaurant for sure. Finally got to give it a try before a ball game. Service was friendly and tentative. We ordered the mussels which were good not great. Some were very strong. I guess i should start by giving my reason for my rating. My hubby was not a fan at all and really didn't enjoy what he ordered. Which was veal and pepper over pasta with aïoli sauce. He said it had no flavor and drowned it with salt and pepper. He also didn't care for their offering of bread. He has a tendency to be sensitive to particular seasonings. I one the other hand throughly enjoyed mine. I had the rigatoni vodka sauce with chicken and it was delicious. I also enjoyed the bread with the balsa...

We tried this place for restaurant week and it was delicious! The waitress was super friendly but they seemed a little short staffed. We had to wait a bit before we could get a second glass of wine and we didn't see the waitress often after she took our order. Also the bread came out with the salad (second course) which we would have preferred it come out with our appetizers first since we wanted to dip the bread in the sauce that came arancini. For the first course we got mini crab cakes and arancini. Both were delicious and had two of each. Second came the Caesar salad and the fresh bread. I got the salmon and my friend got the short ribs with home made pasta. My salmon was cooked perfect...

This place has been on my list for awhile. After seeing them featured on Pittsburgh Today Live, we finally made a reservation. We went a few weeks ago on a snowy Friday night. When we got there, we requested to sit in the bar area. It was so cozy with a fireplace going. We started with the homemade bread, which is complimentary and came with a delicious dipping oil. We also had the fired zucchini and the beans and greens. They were both tasty but the greens and beans were out of this world delicious they had a lemony flavor, so different but so good. I had the shrimp scampi. The shrimp were cooked to perfection and the pasta was so good. My husband had the eggplant parm and requested it with... View menu
