We had the most perfect winter wedding at Oglebay, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From start to finish, everything was absolutely flawless. The venue itself was stunning, with the winter setting adding the perfect touch of magic to our day. The food was fantastic—our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was! The bar was kept busy all night, but the staff never missed a beat, ensuring that everyone had what they needed. They served our guests promptly and efficiently, and every detail was handled with such care. Oglebay -especially our wedding coordinator, Lauren, truly went above and beyond to make our day special, and we are so grateful for their incredible service. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful and seamless wedding experience!

Alla Famiglia 
Pittsburgh, PA
  • Up to 230 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor
  • Starts at $1,400

Alla Famiglia was started in 1997. Another fine Italian restaurant created from the mind of David Ayn. In 2005, Ayn approached a young & ambitious chef Jonathan Vlasic to purchase the 8-table restaurant from him. Mr. Vlasic was a perfect fit to receive the baton and move the restaurant into a new future. Alla Famiglia has evolved into a restaurant which is a representation of the years of formal culinary training of Mr.Vlasic and his family of Roman&Emilia descent. The result was an eatery of superior quality with disciplined technique, vivid imagination, and passion for perfection. Through the next 14 years, the restaurant evolves, expands and stretches its footprint to accommodate its increasing popularity and growing demand. In 2014, Mr. Vlasic decides to purchase the property adjacent to the restaurant and bring his vision to a full circle. “Il Teatro” is born in the winter of 2017. It is now reinvented into its original depression art deco-era for Alla Famiglia guests to enjoy.
