Alexander's in Bloomfield??

 Alexander's is definitely one of your classic pgh dining experiences.

 highlights-
 -Relatively inexpensive, but nice enough for a date, etc.
 -You can eat at the bar too.
 -Pasta dishes are very decent. (whadya expect..)
 -All the freakin' bread and olive oil/parmesan cheese you want for free.
 -charming pittsburgh natives make up service staff

 complaints-
 -stuffing my face w/bread leaves me with no room for dinner :)
 -sometimes difficult to custom order (i asked vegan, i got a pile of cheese..)
 -Guy at the bar is kinda, eh...
 -I have the feeling they cater to older bloomfield natives better than others
 -Well, I heard that the pasta actually comes in frozen! (rumors, rumors..)

 As a matter of fact, I had dinner there last night.  I have eaten there
 at least ten times, and have never been disappointed.  They have typical
 Italian dishes for a reasonable price.  My favorite dish there is the
 ravioli pollo, which is ravioli stuffed with shredded chicken, ricotta
 cheese and sweet red pepper, served with a basil and garlic cream
 sauce.  They also have great Italian wedding soup.
