Lovely place and espresso in a real Italian style mug. Espresso is in the acid side, which is more Common in the US. Sadly not the typical italian deep dark roast , strong with less acid, but good
This place has the best coffee EVERY, love their americano 's. To the Mr. Roth who say we need to stay, and drink it their, we'd all love to, how ever we mostly work and need to leave.
From the menu written in Italian to the foam leaves topping the doppio cappuccinos , a visit to La Prima is a must for coffee enthusiasts. Espresso plus Italian men playing cards outside? Authentic .
Espresso & Amazing cappuccino ???????? feels like your in Italy ???????????? always a pleasure to stop here.
The cappuccino was very tasty and frothy. Great choice!
Moka latte 9/10. Sit outside on a nice day.
One of Pittsburgh's gems. Great people, coffee , and atmosphere.
Grab a cannoli next door to go with your cappuccino
The iced coffee hit the spot on a warm summer day
This is the best coffee in town . Subtle, very well roasted coffee . La Cimbali Machine trumps anything else in the city .
Favorite coffee in Pittsburgh
Amazing pastries and freshly made Sicilian pizza
Quite honestly the best coffees I've ever tasted
FYI... No real mayor of La Prima would take it to go. That's totally missing the point of this special place!
very affordable and great customer service
By far the best coffee shop in Pittsburgh
simply the best spot for a coffee pick me up in the Strip!
Best cappuccino in the city . Without question
An Italian professor from Milwaukee told me about this place. It definitely did not disappoint, and I don't even drink coffee !
They have the best espresso !
Lovely little shop.
Smoothest espresso in the Strip!
Double Espresso 's way to go!
Ice coffees and cappuccinos

The pizza is great especially for breakfast !
Good ice coffee
It's traditional to drink cappuccino in the morning, espresso the rest of day.
Nice to see Doreen back in the am!!
Ok... Question: iced cappuccino ok after noon in summer? Answer: YES!
Never get it to go... stay & chat!
$10 min on cards?? No, fuck you. ;-)
Found it 15 yrs ago!
Always drink a cap from a cup not a mug.
The lattes are to die for, and you won't find the flavors anywhere else. Unique and fragrant. They make their own syrups and always have a seasonal flavor. Favorite Pgh coffee house! - Alexandra Barone
Best green tea matcha smoothie! Ask for it if you don't see it on the menu. - Chloe Fan
Had a nice mocha latte. Long line, but worth the wait. Great coffee selection as well as novelty drinks and teas. Good place to go on a cold day in the Strip. - Vanessa Thomas
The fresh-made egg pasta, available at check-out, is the greatest pasta I've ever had. Cheese selection is amazing too. - Matthew Forbes
Best kept secret of the strip district. Artisan Popcorn, rotating menu. Best carmel corn I've ever had. Funky creations too. They also have gift containers. - Matthew Coll
