Another chapter in a long list of accomplishments began when Helen Vallozzi started making gnocchi in her basement in 1955. Helen quickly outgrew her home operation and moved to a small restaurant in Latrobe where she not only sold gnocchi, but decided to serve them to guests as well. Helen’s son Ernie soon became involved in the fast growing business and they chose to move into a larger space in Greensburg. Ernie’s son, Julian, expanded the tradition to downtown Pittsburgh in 2012.
Vallozzi’s Greensburg has been a fine dining destination in Western Pennsylvania for over four decades. Ten years ago the Vallozzi family decided to continue to expand their culinary reaches into downtown Pittsburgh.
