Good To Be Here! Serving Pittsburghers since 1930. Whether you're enjoying our food at our restaurant, at home, or at a wedding - Atria's makes it Good to Be Here. Atria's History The original Atria's in Mt. Lebanon was owned by Italian immigrant Joe Atria and dates to 1930. It began as a grocery store, then expanded into a barbershop and dry cleaners. In 1933 prohibition ended and Atria's began to sell beer. Along came food to feed the hungry - both highbrow attorneys and blue-collar working men alike. In 1998, Pittsburgh natives Pat and Nancy McDonnell transformed Joe Atria's historical Mt. Lebanon landmark into an upscale casual restaurant that today serves up American classics in neighborhoods all around the Greater Pittsburgh Area

    We were in the new room upstairs and all the way in the back. It was a little noisy because of party near us and the acoustics of the room. Felt a little out of the vibe of the restaurant which was why we were there for my daughter’s birthday- her pick. We had burrata and bread board which was yummy. I had the short ribs which were amazing. My husband had the beef special and my daughter had pasta with grilled chicken. They weren’t thrilled with their picks - I think because mine was so good. Our dessert was amazing and so good. It was a chocolate bomb of goodness. Our waiter was a bald friendly guy who was wonderful and is a really great asset and cheerleader for your restaurant. Sorry I’m horrible with names but he deserves a raise. I would definitely recommend and can’t wait to see what amazing things this group has for 2025!

    It was my husband and mine first dining experience at this restaurant. Staff was extremely kind and on point, especially our server Brian! The food was off the charts delicious; fresh ingredients, balanced and unique flavors that was surprisingly familiar to me from an amazing restaurant in Bellevue that we previously frequented (closed years ago)…to my delight, we learned from the extremely personable General Manager Angie, that the owner of this restaurant had previously worked at that Bellevue location and had a business dealing with that owner as well. We also thoroughly enjoyed the gigantic meatball appetizer, the perfect bread (crispy on the outside and soft in the middle) served with a tasty infused dipping oil, the house salad (one of the best that I have ever had and the dressing was extremely reminiscent of that restaurant in Bellevue), and the Canestri bolognese entree was just incredible (a very generous portion)!! In addition, this restaurant (been at the previous restaurant a few times called The Classroom) is beautifully charming!! My husband and I look forward to returning soon to enjoy another delicious meal…my goal over the coming year, will be to have tried everything on the menu!!

    I usually go to the peters township location and tried this one today. The hostess was welcoming and we had a server and a trainee assist us. Both were professional but warm and friendly. My friend had the Caesar salad with short rib quesadilla and I had the shrimp and crab enchiladas. All were flavorful, great presentation, and delicious!
