Lenzi's Restaurant — Restaurant in Monongahela

Over all Did not meet the expectations. We ordered gnocchi and cheese ravioli. With the meal one of us got a salad, the other soup. We both got garlic bread. The red sauce on the pasta was very bland and there was copious amounts of it. The salad was wilted iceberg lettuce with one cherry tomato, two slices of red onion, a single black olive, and a single cucumber slice. The garlic bread was 4 slices of Italian bread with garlic, butter, and parsley. The wedding soup was so boiled to death the acini de pepe was softer than jello..it was just soggy slush in my mouth. The broth was good and flavorful though. It was honestly the only thing in the either meal that had quality flavor. Prices do not reflect the quality of food. For nearly $45 for just two pasta dishes as they come, an ice water, and a lipton tea and with the reviews on here we had higher expectations and were pretty disappointed. $2-3 (depending on lunch or dinner increase for any sauces that aren't their bland marinara.

The aesthetic is pseudo nice, though small. It was neat/tidy. Also, for some reason the restaurant was playing Disney and lullaby music the whole time...

The gnocchi itself was a nice doughy texture and the ravioli was okayish, though lacking in flavor, overcooked, and swimming in a sea of flavorless sauce.

I wouldn't risk wasting this sum of money here again on pasta. Maybe their burgers or nonpasta meals are...

Don't pay attention to the 3 people that were obviously with the same party, anytime we've gone here and they are busy they give you a buzzer and ask you to wait outside because there is nowhere to wait inside due to space. It is not a huge restaurant where they have a front lobby for people to wait. It is a cozy little mom and pop restaurant where the food is amazing and the service is fantastic. They do have a policy about not seating a party until everyone is there so they do not have a table held up for longer than necessary and there are signs advising people of this policy on the door and inside. They do try their very best to accommodate large partys, however being a small restaurant people need to understand if you have a party larger than 4 you might need some patience while they get the tables available and move them around to accommodate. Even large restaurants sometimes have that issue with large partys when they are busy. As a large party you may see partys of up to 4 getting sat right away because they only require one table. If they are busy and you have some patience you will still get great service and great food. You can't go to any good restaurant during dinner time and expect to be sat right away and be in and out, especially with a party taking up more...

I'm a Chef, not easily impressed... This food is Off The Chain!! Huge portions and so fresh and delicious!!

I got the 2 for $19. You pick your pasta and type of sauce. My gnocchi were pillows floating in my tomato cream sauce.

My veal Parmigiano was perfectly cooked and melted in my mouth. The house red sauce is perfect. Tip- get light sauce on your Parmigianos, they're generous with the sauce. Don't want to lose the crunchy breading!

This meal came with choice of soup or salad.I had the pasta fagioli, it was hot and perfectly seasoned. The meatballs were delicious. Obviously, hand rolled!!

They offer free bread... either fresh or garlic bread. They butter the fresh bread For You!!

I had a ton of leftovers and it made for several more meals!!

They had a meatloaf sandwich special that day and it was one of the biggest sandwiches I've ever seen. The menu has sandwiches, salad and Italian dishes.

The dining area is small, 10 4 top tables. This is not a romantic date spot but a Eat spot or take home. It's busy, every day. So you know that it's...
