“ A Taste of Italy in Plum – Shrodi’s is a Must-Try! Shrodi’s - Cucina di Maria delivers an authentic Italian dining experience that’s right up there with the Pittsburgh elite. Now, let’s talk about the food—absolutely incredible! The spaghetti and meatballs in Sunday sauce is a delicious classic. The pasta is perfectly cooked, the meatballs are tender and full of flavor, and the Sunday sauce? Rich, slow-cooked perfection with just the right balance of sweetness and tang (and delicious sausage). Every bite transports you to an old-school Italian kitchen where tradition and love go into every dish. Then there’s the chicken parmesan—hands down one of the best in Pittsburgh. The chicken is lightly breaded, crispy on the outside, yet juicy and tender on the inside.

“ What is better than a quaint stone building restaurant with a Basil garden thriving as you walk up? Well, a family tradition and staff who all welcome you as family .. yes, we know the family history of Shrodi. The menu was plentiful and very reasonable. The selections took much time to choose and with the outstanding help of Natalie, we made our picks! What is cool is my mom is not a big eater anymore and chose the veal piccata with a side of pasta and salad off the senior menu which is very clever to have available and still had enough leftovers for lunch today. The stuffed banana peppers with Sunday sauce were amazing. Three served generously and one went home! Veal piccata was delish with a nice zest of lemon. Large portions! Also a side of spaghetti with the sauce of your choice, which after tasting the Sunday sauce I wanted more! House salad with their house dressing to add according to our taste. Many kalamata Olives. Cherry tomatoes Fresh mushrooms. And the freshest mixed greens Our Irishman picked his favorite penne with vodka sauce. It was the best he’s ever had. I have to agree! The added prosciutti and seasonings were truly delicious. The chef is masterful in the kitchen and believe me, every mouth watering taste was worth it! We enjoyed our beverages from the talented bartender. Natalie was fabulous and attentive to us from hello to see you again soon goodbye. Oh I almost forgot to mention, they are building a bocce court out back to really add to its authentic Italian tradition and flair. It’s a little bit of Heaven tucked away in Penn Hills! Do not pass it up! Can’t wait to bring my family and friends! Continued success be yours! We love a true Italian restaurant using family recipes of your family. Thank you. ”
“ Wonderful service, great atmosphere for a great breakfast. If you’re tired of shadyside crowds, sick of being your own waiter at the galley come eat here. Get the eggs and bacon. ”
“ Lovely local Italian restaurant/bar in Plum. The drinks were excellent, our waitress was attentive and the Pasta Giuseppe was fresh and delicious. We ate later in the evening-like 8pm but everything was still bustling and the food came in a good amount of time. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming with big tables of families still gathered for dinner. The prices were to be expected-nothing shocking. Great new place in Plum! ”
“ Absolutely fantastic. Our waitress was wonderful with a big group of us. The owners of the place are great. And if you want great Italian food this is the spot to be ... ”
