This cafe is in middle of nowhere for me, but I had heard great things about the cafe, so I had to check it out. it’s situated amidst residential area, so there are not a lot of other shops around. The cafe is quaint and has some oldworld charm to it. it. Apart from a cafe, they also sell some limited Italian groceries. The cafe is rather small with about four or five tables and about 15 chairs. I visited on Tuesday noon, so it was pretty empty and sitting wasn’t difficult to find. I had large iced matcha latte and dark chocolate and almond biscotti. The latte was incredible for its price point, given the quantity and it tasted pretty good as well. The biscotti was also good, but I have had better. While the food and drinks are just above average, what stood out for me were two things. The first one was the hospitality itself. The barista was incredibly welcoming and nice. While I was enjoying my drink, couple of other customers came in, and she seemed to know all of them, and had lovely hearty animated conversations with all of them. This tells me that this cafe is frequented by the community around and has a lot of regulars. Second was how relaxed the vibe of the place was. No one was in a hurry. People were just sitting there, enjoying their coffee and conversations. I can see myself just coming here, getting a coffee and reading my book and spending hours in here.

I've only been there once but the vibes of this cafe are sooo good! Lovely owner and lovely customers, just seems like a very close community. Best peanut butter cookie I've ever had! It was so soft and not stingy on the chocolate 🤍 Huge fan of the straws being pasta straws too. Would also definitely go back for the food

Found this place on Google Maps because of the reviews. Thought I was lost when I pulled in to a neighborhood, but so glad I went inside. This is a nice, quiet, local coffee shop with great food, coffee, and service. I will admit, I was not expecting the large coffee to be so...large. It took all my will power to not yell out, "HELLO" in my best Mike Myers' impersonation (please tell me I am not the only one who thought of the movie when served this large cup of coffee). The sandwiches were incredible and made fresh to order. I wish they were bigger, not because they were not a good value for the price paid; they were just too good to be content with the amount provided. It is clear from the brief conversations I heard the staff have with the locals that this is a treasured place to the community. Trust me, if you are in the neighborhood and looking for a great drink and snack, this is the local business you want to support.

This is a nice spot.
So warm.
So friendly.
Good energy.
Great vibes.
This little cafe on a quiet residential street takes on a near corner location.
For 3 & 1/2 bucks, I got a silky smooth espresso drink balanced with just the right amount of milk for my first cup.
For me a cortado is an additional reason to wake up in the morning. It's got a more robust personality than a cappuccino.
It's a good balance of half espresso, half milk.
Perfect for when you want a latte, with a kick.
Puts a little pep in your step.
Parisi feels like a good place to catch up on a chat with a friend you haven't seen in forever. A local haunt that can quickly become your regular thing.
Their all-day coffee blend has notes of baking chocolate, toasted marshmallows and molasses. I can smell that as I say it.
The staff's kind and cheery.
Got table service for my drink.
Really a nice place.
I'm coming back here again.
*** Should I do another review of them? ***
If you want to see me come back and review their Turkey, Egg and Cheddar please tap the like!
And a few additional notes
Mind the doorstep.
Seating for for I want to say, 15.
Two tables.
Two benches.
And the colorful corner, you see my cortado on.

The cafe feels so cozy, it almost feels like a guest in their home, with hospitality to match...
I tried multiple sweets and croissants, all tasted very delicious. The black coffee is well made as well. Tht owner is super friendly.
Seems like a very neighborly cafe as almost all people who pumped into each other in the cafe at the time were very friendly and seemed to know each other.
All in all, I enjoyed both the food and experience.

This is such a nice little space ! I had a latte and strata. It was like an eggy open face ciabatta sort of deal. They carry commonplace coffee so I snagged a bag of beans to go. They also had a nice assortment of pastries I want to try next time

Nice little hidden gem. I've been hesitant on leaving a review because of my own selfish needs. This place is immaculate. Splendid place to have a morning cup with treats and get some work done. Reminds me of an old coffee shop in Milan.

New to the neighborhood. Visit with my sister when we can. Nice and cute store. The owner is nice and everything we've ordered has been good. Glad to have the little shop around the corner. Hope to become regulars.

Simply put, this place is a beautiful and well-done community-friendly addition to the neighborhood.
The owners are warm and friendly, the cafe is stunning and comfortable, the coffee drinks are well-made (we got a cortado and an americano), and the food options are great (we split a raspberry dessert raviolo, delightfully tart with a nice flaking crust).
The cafe is kid-, adult-, and family-friendly. It's a lovely place to sit, relax, and enjoy. We are SO glad to see this addition to Swissvale.

Absolutely wonderful. Food is understatedly delicious and coffee is expertly prepared. The cosy casual atmosphere and high quality selection of Italian non perishables put this place over the top.

Cute neighborhood cafe with yummy Italian inspired treats and a small market with pasta, sauces, etc. They've got some toys and books for kids too, which was really helpful to help us enjoy our cafe visit and keep the kiddo entertained.

Awesome Cafe. If I lived closer I'd be a regular, coffee was amazing and so were the treats. The atmosphere is very comfortable and homey. Good decor.

Place is smal but they make up for it with their huge flavors. The coffee and espresso were delicious as well as the food that I ordered. Everyone was polite and greeted me as I walk to the door. Very awesome place.

Very cute Italian cafe❤💕 The sandwich is 👍
The only thing is the environment wasn't airy and smelled.

Such a fun local coffee shop! The atmosphere is perfect and cozy. Their chai and biscottis are a must.
Also, they use pasta straws which I find unique :)

Adorable aesthetic, sweet owner, good coffee, lovely pastries. Free parking, dog-friendly, and with a little play space for kids. It's one of my favorite spots and my morning office-away-from-home.
