If you’re wanting Italian food at any time of day, Di Anoia’s Eatery is the place to go, whether it’s breakfast, lunch or dinner. Serving up their Italian-spin on classic American dishes, you can grab a porchetta eggs benedict (which’ll make you never want to have the American version ever again), or reach for a more classic dish like their steak florentine.

Don’t miss out on their pasta, which is made fresh in-house! Take a bite of their gnocchi sorrentina bread bowl or their capellini e vongole (pasta with clams and a white wine sauce). With options to sit outside and inside, Di Anoia’s is a perfect place to go to fill that Italian craving.

Looking for a fresh Italian slice? Head down to Bella Notte, who offer some of the best pies in the Burgh’! From a classic Margherita to a fruity Hawaiian pizza, Bella Notte has all of your favorite pies, with deals on each weekday offering a discount on select specialty pies. Don’t just stop for pizza though, grab one of their delicious pepperoni rolls or a huge calzone that’ll leave you with leftovers for days!

Feeling like having a Sicilian slice? Hit up Colangleo’s on 21st and get some of their fluffy yet crunchy and so-so addicting pizza. Also offering fresh pastas, italian sandwiches, and other baked goods, Colangleo’s is sure to leave you wanting more. 

With a huge drink, food, and dessert menu, you better bring you and your empty stomach down to Papa J’s, a classic Italian joint right here in The Strip. The best part about it? The pasta is completely customizable with options to choose your fresh pasta shape along with a long list of different sauces. Cozy up in Papa J’s rustic dining room/ bar and grab a glass of wine from their extensive wine menu or a specialty cocktail made with fresh gelato or sorbet!
