Fantastic meal! Very Italian American, but with much greater quality of the pasta, the sauce and the preparation than any other restaurant of its type I have visited in the Pittsburgh area. I am not one to complain about prices in restaurants give the state of the economy, but Pasta Forma is; very affordable. We had really good service. It was fun to eat at a BYOB place again and there was no corkage! Will definitely be back.

We decided to go for an early dinner while we were in the area. We were the only customers at 4:30. Our first time at this restaurant. Our dinners Chicken Parm and Chicken Saltimbocca were both excellent. The appetizer was prosciutto wrapped mozzarella. So good. Great restaurant we will return. Also has a very nice lounge area.

Pino and his team and Rachel do an incredible job of making you feel like you're in their home and incredibly welcome. Spectacular experience! from the incredible wine list to the special Cacho Pepe and cioppino. Nothing like it in Pittsburgh feels like I'm in Little Italy.

Mt. Lebanon

About the restaurant

Mount Lebanon is now home to the pizzeria that The New York Times declared one of the best in the entire city. At F&F, we serve seasonal pies and slices, along with delicious market-driven fare that’s meant to be passed around the table. With a convivial vibe and thoughtful selection of wines and cocktails, we want to become your favorite neighborhood restaurant.

Our style is inspired by the pizza founders Frank Falcinelli and Frank Castronovo ate as kids. We celebrate this iconic heritage while elevating the form with excellent ingredients and the skills we picked up working in acclaimed restaurants—including our own, the famed Frankies 457 Spuntino in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn.
