This was the worst place ever. The food had no taste. The prices were high and the quality was low. No seasoning in the food at all - no salt, no pepper, no garlic, no oregano or basil. I think this place needs a visit from Robert Irvine and the Restaurant Impossible crew. I had a plate of ravioli which were beautiful and plump - with absolutely no flavor. We had high hopes when we arrived, but left very disappointed.

I guess the lowest you can go is one star? The food was good if you like canned pasta sauce, store bought noodles, and high prices for not much food. This was very disappointing. The episode should have never been aired. Guy lost a lot of credibility with this one. I want my money back....

They must have put on one heck of a dog & pony act for the TV show. The food was bland, the staff was obnoxious and condescending. Requests for extras like more grated cheese or olive oil were met with distain and sarcasm by the old woman. Her attitude was "go someplace else if you dont like it....". Segneri's is a block over, and Anthony Jrs. is down the street. Both places offer a much better dining experience.

Oh.....and a real "Italian" cook would use real potatoes and mash them - not go the cheap way and use potato flakes. The recipe also failed to mention that you wait for them to float to the surface. THEN they are done. Letting them boil away only makes them tough.

This is NOT a recipe for Gnocchi!
This is a recipe for flour dumplings.
Gnocchi is an Italian name for dumplings made of one of three ingredients: Potato, Semolina or Ricotta.
In all 3 of these gnocchi recipes the main ingredient is the potato, semolina or ricotta, NOT flour.
I'm sure this is an interesting dish when sauced, but not a gnocchi that any native Italian would recognize!

UPDATE:
Since I posted the above, this restaurant has beeen very poorly reviewed by most of the FTV reviewers and their website is gone(?

LoBello's is a great little place that makes you feel just like you went to Mamma's house for Sunday dinner. Rose is a great women who my family has know for years! She has great Gnocchi/pasta and good sauce. For dessert you must have a piece of her Bananna Cream Pie made fresh every day. The best you will ever eat!!! If you are ever in Coraopolis, PA stop in and bring your favorite bottle of wine!

LoBello's in Coraopolis Pa is own of the greatest Italian restaurants you will ever find! The food is great, the service is terrific and it has that small town feel that makes you feel really comfortable inside! I would say everyone should try it. And make sure you ask for Rose, she will make sure you are full when you leave. Great food and GREST JOB ROSE!!!
