Crema's Take

This intimate Italian gem on Carson Street puts you right in the action with an open kitchen where you can watch the chef craft each dish with care. The young couple running the spot creates a cozy, modern atmosphere that feels special without pretension, and their creativity shines through both in inventive seasonal plates and beautifully presented classics. It's the kind of place that justifies a reservation and a reason to celebrate—whether it's a birthday or just a Friday night craving for something made with real passion.

WOW! Pittsburgh has a new modern style Italian restaurant and it is excellent! The young couple running this restaurant are delightful! The chef is exquisite in recipe creation, presentation and execution, it was a very enjoyable evening. We had bruschetta, chicken parmesan and chicken marsala. ALL were served in a new way you just have to see to believe! Absolutely delicious. As time goes on and more people experience this new restaurant, watch out for bigger and better. Alla Famiglia, eat your heart out, you've got competition.

Absolutely fantastic restaurant on Carson street with a great, cozy atmosphere. Small setting right next to the open kitchen and you can see all of the delicious dishes come out. The bruschetta was awesome. Wish I took some to go. The peppered fettuccine was as good as any fettuccine I’ve had in years. The veal was amazing as well, one of the best pieces I’ve had in Pittsburgh. Spaghetti was also done perfectly and the cheesecake was delicious. Bonus points for the Mexican coke and sprite bottles. Bottom line, this place rocks. 10/10. I cannot wait to go back again. Chef/owner was pleasant to talk to and he did mention that the menu switches up every few months. I’ll be back for that veal chop and ravioli for sure!

Came here for my 27th birthday, it’s a beautiful spot the server was amazing, I wish there were more vegetarian options, so I’m being a bit picky! To add to that beans sand greens would be a great option, but if sausage could be an add on that would be great! Again coming from a vegetarian so this is biased!

Saw that a new Italian restaurant had opened in Southside and was eager to try! We came here for dinner on a Friday and had a 7pm reservation. The dining room is smaller so I would definitely recommend making a reservation if possible. Also it is BYOB, which we did not realize so bring your own wine. They start you with fresh bread and delicious dipping oil. We shared the citrus and fennel salad which was fresh and had a lovely flavor from the roasted fennel vinaigrette. For entrees, we shared the ricotta gnocchi, which were on special, and the Branzino al Cartoccio. The gnocchi were a 12/10, perfectly pillowy with a luscious cream sauce and a drizzle of basil oil with fresh peas and shoots. Could’ve licked the bowl. The fish was well prepared, but I would’ve much preferred with the skin and the couscous could’ve used some seasoning. However, the fish itself was delicious. For dessert we shared the cannoli and I haven’t had authentic cannoli filling like that in some time, super tasty. Everything was delicious and prepared in an open kitchen. A husband/wife run the whole show themselves and led quite impressive. I definitely recommend giving them a try.

I enjoyed a night out with friends at Capozoli’s during their first week open. The dining room is small and intimate, allowing you to peak into the kitchen to watch the chef prepare your meal. Our table split many of the appetizers and were pleased with the flavors, presentation and size of all of them. Highly recommend the Parmesan Beignets! My main meal selection was the Veal Milanese and it will be hard for me to pick a different dish next time because it was so good! The veal had the crispiest breading and the lemon arugula on top added a really nice freshness and crunch! Capozoli's is BYOB which is amazing so you can enjoy your favorite wines with their signature dishes. Connor and Irina (owners) really made us feel welcome and we enjoyed a conversation with them at the end of our meal. 10/10 would recommend and will be returning soon!
