“ Some of the best pizza in Pittsburgh. Never had a bad meal here. Just about everything is home recipes. The desserts are to die for. I couldn't recommend this place enough! ”

“ Tried Severinas tonight and oh my word - this place is a GEM! We had a reservation but ended up sitting at the bar. For drinks I got a Hugo Spritz and an Italian style mojito- both were incredibly refreshing and light. We started with the Arancini which was so so good. And they give you free bread and salad before your meal- simple but delicious. The menu changes daily - we got pasta bolognese and the short rib; both were great! We were stuffed but wanted to get some dessert to go - they had sfogliatelle which we had always wanted to try and they did not disappoint. We will definitely be coming back here!!! ”

“ What a little gem. While we didn't try any, the pastries looked delicious. The white pizza was garlicky and delicious. Crust was crisp on the outside and nice and fluffy but not too big. Italian panini was flavorful and the pesto was a perfect touch. Hubby enjoyed the cafe latte and I had the chai tea latte (it was a bit sweet for my taste but the species were great). Looking forward to returning and trying their other offerings ”

“ Phenomenal. This place was PACKED (for good reason) on the Saturday night my family went, but they were able to fit us. My dad, who is the most picky Italian food eater alive, said the sausage & pepper pasta he had was the best he's eaten since his Nani's -- that's huge praise. The chef clearly knows what he's doing. I had a roasted red pepper pasta with chicken that was delicious as well, and my mom loved her bolognese. Make sure to get dessert too! They make all of the desserts in-house and you can tell. The cannoli was fresh, just the right level of sweet and flaky. We also had some of their homemade gelato that melted in your mouth. Cannot recommend more. ”

“ Moved to the area and noticed this place on the side of the road. Saw their red umbrellas and thought it looked super cute so we made plans to go one day. We got there right at opening and entered on the pastry counter side. The waiter asked if we had reservations and seemed to give us a weird look at the fact we did not. However, their demeanor changed after we were sat and began ordering. The seating inside is small and can get fairly loud, I'd recommend sitting outside. The table was given bread and oil and we ordered seasonal scallop dish, seasonal steak dish, one pasta dish and one pizza. The food was amazing. I had the scallops which was oddly topped with apple but paired so well. My friend had the pizza and said it was amazing. We skipped on desserts but those looks amazing too. Great little place but definitely make reservations. ”

“ One of my favorite Italian restaurants in the city! Every time I go to Severina's I'm impressed with how delicious everything is. From the fresh bread to start, to apps like mussels, arancini, and the creamy whipped ricotta, and entrees and pizzas that are out this world. All amazing! I recommend making a reservation but there has always been seats available when I've gone. The space is always buzzing with people drinking wine and outstanding spritzes (so perfect for summer). And the dessert case is always jam packed with authentic and innovative Italian favorites (sfogietelle, cannoli, blood orange tiramisu, oh my) and freshly made gelato. So don't forget to get some to go! Sometimes the food can take a little bit of time but imagine you're in a cafe in Italy, have a glass of Prosecco, and enjoy. Mangia mangia! ”

“ What a wonderful hidden gem! I had no idea this place was even here. It was a busy bustling night on a Tuesday. Service was great, food all Homemade and delicious and the DESSERTS!!! I can't wait to go back and try everything on the menu. ”

“ Excellent genuine Italian restaurant. We dropped in on a Friday and were quickly seated. The dinning area is small, a little cramped. There is outdoor seating for the summer time, which, had it been in season we would have most likely elected to sit outside. Mid January, the dinning area was chilly and I am usually one to not wear a jacket coat. We both just settled on domestic beers to drink. From the time we arrived until food was on the table was roughly one hour. Food was excellent. We ordered a pizza, half pepperoni and half sausage, a Mushroom and black truffle pasta, and a caesar salad with chicken. The pizza had the perfect crust and did not disappoint. The pasta was done very nicely. We got 4 desserts to go. I definitely recommend the cheesecake! Overall we were happy with our visit and plan to return once the patio opens back up. ”
