Cafe Notte Restaurant Bar & Private Parties - Italian restaurant in Pittsburgh - 8070 Ohio River Blvd, USA

I was introduced to Cafe Notte by a friend a few weeks ago, and I'm thrilled that I was. The ambiance is reminiscent of a charming little dark bar with a captivating mafia vibe. The food is outstanding, the atmosphere is awesome, and the fact that it's family-owned adds a special touch. What more could you ask for? I highly recommend stopping by for dinner and indulging in a few cocktails or planning a romantic date night. It's a solid 10/10 for me.

Great little spot! We went here with a large party, and loved almost all the food and the atmosphere. The food particularly was thoughtful, fresh, and delicious. They make all their pasta and bread from scratch! The only downsides were: slower service than I'm accustomed to, and a louder space. Perhaps these were because it was a large party, or because it was busy. We also had one entree that we didn't like, enough that we didn't eat it, though everything else was delicious. Would recommend, would go back! (Perhaps on a slower night I'd give it a five star.)

Lovely and intimate atmosphere! Ceiling has a captivating "starry" effect. Great staff and delicious food! Absolutely loved the Calamari, Duck Wings & Branzino 🤤 A bit of a dead zone unless maybe if you try using their guest wifi, and there are the occasional flies, but besides that still highly recommended 👌

I went to Cafe Notte to celebrate a friend's birthday during Restaurant Week. We hadn't heard of it before, but the menu looked delicious. We were completely happy with all of the food, but especially the crab cakes, salmon, risotto, broccolini, and short ribs. The service was phenomenal! We'll definitely come back to enjoy this special restaurant.

Have been wanting to try this place for awhile. The only thing that was worth it was the atmosphere and vibe. The bar side was very cozy with a fireplace. Other than that, there was nothing else we enjoyed. The wait staff was not friendly. We went in at 5:30 and they didn’t want to seat us because of the number of people who were coming in at 6. They rushed us in and out within 40 minutes, not allowing us to enjoy our night out together. The pasta aglio was as flavorless as can be. The meatballs were also not good and came out cold. The vodka pasta was alright. We both also had the soup of the day which was decent, but they brought it out before the bread. The tables felt sticky. We heard the hostess seating another table and mentioned to them how the tables look dirty but they actually aren’t. We also overheard the hostess talking about how she didn’t want to seat us. Italian is my favorite food, and we will definitely not be returning.

We had a family Christmas dinner here. It was about 15 people including 5 small children. The experience was wonderful. Food was great, they very quickly got the food out for the children. Adult food came out much later, but that was our choice. Since the children were done, they started to get wild. The staff here brought out coloring books and crayons. This was a huge help. At the end of the night, they made themselves available to take family photos. Each year, we swap who picks where we eat and this was our first time going to Cafe Notte and everyone loved it.

Amazing dinner!! Great food and atmosphere for a night out. Bread pudding was amazing!!

It's a nice restaurant and our experience was generally good. The reason I'm not able to give them 5 stars is because the prices were higher than I would expect for the experience. Some of the food was great! Some of it was quite mediocre. The pizza was way below par and the ravioli was "meh", at best. That said, other's in my group said their meals were great! The salmon looked very good (but I unfortunately had the ravioli). The server was nice but was a bit slow to respond to our needs. The atmosphere was elegant, but they sat us at a table near a bar area that wasn't being used and the lights were off, making it feel a bit dank. Overall, it was an experience that would have been more on par at half the price.
