About Tom's Diner "A Folino's Family Restaurant"
Young's Tavern started its operations in 1925 by George and Anna Young and operated as the first diner in the south side. Later, when liquor licenses were introduced into the state of Pennsylvania, the Young family purchased the second building known as the "Dining Room". It was necessary to provide a separate entrance for women and children. Young's closed its doors after the death of Edward Young in the year 2000. Young's re-opened in 2005, when is was taken over by the Folino's, who continue operating it as Young's Tavern, know as the locals hangout for homemade meals, relaxed atmosphere and great food and fun. The Story of Folino's and Young's Tavern The Folino's own and operate Tom's Diner in Dormont and the south side and know the importance of a family run operation. Penny Folino along with her father, mother, and brother opened Tom's Diner in Dormont in 1981, which has been a huge success in Pittsburgh. Now Penny, along with her husband, Tony, would like the opportunity to serve you once again. Our story at Young's is to know this as a new twist on an old establishment with hearty steaks, Italian pasta creations, pizza, ice cold beer and specialty martinis, along with a lively and fun, yet relaxing atmosphere. Folino's Ristorante and Tom's Diner merged into one family restaurant in April 2008.

Folinos used to be a nice place to eat at until it merged with toms diner, now its just ridicilous! If a woman is at the bar, she has to walk thru folinos and into where the employees are to go to the restroom. Service is horrible and the food is not even average. Everything about this establishment is bad all around.
Outstanding service!

I run the Pittsburgh Sports League Running Group and we ran from Folino's tonight. It was a cold and rainy night and we returned chilled, thirsty, and very hungry. I had made a reservation and about 17 of us ate in the upstairs loft room - a great private area. I don't think we have ever had service as good as we did at Folino's. It was quick, friendly, and very very cooperative with a group of 17 tired, cold, hungry people. The complimentary bruschetta on the tables was gobbled quickly and the water glasses were always kept full as the servers ran up and down the stairs to keep the cold beer coming. The wedding soup was outstanding and served piping hot. I had the Greek entree salad which was fresh and enormous. Other diners had the pasta (they have whole wheat!) and the pizza and there were rave reviews all around. The highlight of the night, though, was our server James's patience and friendly demeanor. He was aided by two other outstanding servers whose names I did not get. He even offered separate checks without us having to ask. I would go back to Folino's anytime and would encourage anyone looking for a nice, but affordable place for a group outing to try it out!
