I visited Lilly's on Forbes Avenue in Squirrel Hill last week.  I decided to give it a try because several people were eating at the sidewalk tables and the pasta and meatballs looked good with generous portions.  There are pictures on the wall and you order from the wall menu by building your pasta dish in three steps.  It was dinner time so I ordered ziti (step 1) with pink tomato vodka sauce at a hefty price of $9.99 (step 2) and added meatballs (step 3) from the fresh toppings at 2 for $1.49.  I also ordered a large piece of Tiramisu for $4.99.\n\nThis was a take out order that cost me 30 minutes of my time.  The wait seemed a bit long but I was hungry and looking forward to enjoying my meal when I got home 15 minutes later.\n\nIt was around 7 pm when I ordered this meal on a Wednesday night and they must have been running low on vodka sauce and pasta because both were scarce and what there was of the sauce was bland tasting.  Also, they must have run out of the meatballs I paid for as they were not included in the bag so I can't comment on the taste.  I will say that the young employees they have working there are more concerned with socializing than paying attention to the orders they are filling.  When I got to the dessert, it was half the size of the palm of my hand maybe 4\"" long and 2\"" wide and looked smashed up.  I paid $5.00 for a large size so how small must their small size be for $3.00?  The Tiramisu did not taste fresh made.  More like it came out of a generic frozen box.\n\nDon't waste your hard earned money here.  Rose Tea Cafe just up the street has better noodles than this place!!!
