“For six years I have been looking for a new favorite restaurant in Pittsburgh since my old favorite one closed. I have never found a place that had the perfect food and atmosphere I was looking for until I entered Lilith last night. Everything about this restaurant is phenomenal. The service from being greeted to the absolutely awesome server we had was excellent! The food had a wow factor rarely found in Pittsburgh. I’m not usually a huge fan of how vegetables are cooked most places and the veggies in my dish just blew things out of the water. You could tell they were fresh and local too. The fish I had was just amazing. It was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. Needless to say I will be back again and again now to experience more culinary delights!”
“I came in a little skeptical because some people describe this restaurant as “scene-y” or ambience-oriented. But I legitimately had one of the best meals I’ve had in Pittsburgh.”
“I love the amount of real spices they use in their curries. I can tell that the restaurant has a great quality of food. I am very sensitive to (hot) spices, but I want to enjoy the flavors of Indian food. If I ask for a 0 the spice level feels too hot for me. Last time I came, I asked for them to adjust the spice level to be milder than 0. They were able to reduce the heat in the dish to levels I could handle without reducing the flavor. I have not dined in at this restaurant, but enjoy the ambience of the place. It is clean and the decor is eye catching.”

“Excellent food and service. We will 100 percent be back”
“the one white lady there assumed I was trying to get extra food for less money. but I opt for the more expensive breakfast option and ASKED the person waiting on me if I can replace the grits with a meat. he charged me for the $10 breakfast meal AND $3 for the extra meat making it $14 altogether with tax.so he didn't opt the grits out for the meat. she came to my table with an attitude and walked away from me even tho I wasn't finished explaining what happened. To that lady...PLEASE don't assume ppl are trying to do wrong. like YOU said the guy doesn't really wait tables and this was only my SECOND time there that's why I asked if I could do that and he still didn't do it cause he charged me for the 10 breakfast meal and 3 for extra meat.”
“Absolutely delicious! Everything from the cocktails to the food and atmosphere is perfect!”
“First time dining at Senti. Not a big menu to choose from, but what you do get is quality. The apps were very good to start the evening and the dinners were excellent. Nice portions and very tasty. Drinks are very good and paired nicely with dinner. We will definitely be back.”

“A group of 5 of us visited Dish last night and the meals were amazing. Grilled Squid, the best I have ever had. Where else can you find it not breaded and fried? Add to that their amazing sardines so fresh and good. Pasta Funghi another high. Exquisite detail to taste in every dish. The owners go way out of their way to make you feel welcomed and happy and very satisfied. A must visit when you are lucky enough to get a reservation though other friends have happily sat at the bar for dinner just to be there!! Kudos to Dish!”
“We are so lucky to have an establishment like Baby Loves Tacos in the East End! This family not only knows how to make amazing tacos, burritos, etc., but they also know how to feed the soul of a community. From their donation based coffee station to their pay it forward meals to their community meals at the end of the day when they have some extra ingredients, everyone is treated with respect and dignity. If you are craving anything on their menu, you won’t be disappointed. This is a must visit establishment when in the neighborhood.”

“I happened upon this coffee shop on a whim and felt welcomed from the moment I walked through the door. Honestly, it was like I stepped into a cozy fantasy novel. The atmosphere is friendly and you can *feel* the care and thoughtfulness that goes into the service. There are so many drink choices that I'm glad there's a wheel to spin for inspiration. Fate landed on a spiced pear chai and it was phenomenal. I already want to go back.”

“This location was recommended for a medical school reunion in Pittsburgh by our alumni association. The food was excellent and the portions very generous. We did the family style dining for a large group, and it was very well received. One of my Italian classmates sate the the Cacio e Pepe was the best that he had tasted outside of Milan. I would strongly recommend this location for really first rate Italian food and a great atmosphere”
“Words can’t explain how special our experience has been at Monterey Bay Fish Grotto. We were warmly welcomed by Isabella and Bassi, two of the sweetest hostesses I have ever met. They showed us to our table which included one of the finest views of Pittsburgh. My boyfriend and I came to celebrate our 8th year anniversary and our server Sydney truly made it special for us. The food was exquisite and each dish brought out looked like pure art. The crab cake (suggested by Sydney) was off the charts, some of the best I’ve had. Chef Dee really out did himself as our food was spectacular. Definitely a great place to celebrate a special occasion and would recommend to all of my friends and family!”

“The Market in Verona is so awesome. It is so great to go in and get good quality food that you can reheat at home. I recently got the Eggplant Parmesan, pasta and risotto balls. Everything was so delicious and enough for another dinner. My husband got the Chicken Parmesan and really enjoyed it also. The service at the Market is outstanding and it was so nice to also meet Andrew the owner. I am looking forward to coming back again and getting more of this high quality and delicious Italian Food that reminded me so much of what my Mommy used to make. I highly recommend them.”
“What a wonderful experience eating here! As a person with a strict gluten free diet, I loved being able to find a restaurant that not only offered gluten free items but items that could be made gluten free! Everything I have tried has been amazingly prepared, the staff is excellent, and the atmosphere relaxed and beautiful. I'll definitely be making this a favorite dinner place!”
“Tonight we ate at the Urban Tap. Our server Jenna was not only delightful. She was on top of every order both drinks and food. Clearing the table quickly. Filling drinks. And very personable to speak with. I would not only recommend this place to anyone. I would recommend her specifically as your server if possible.”

“During our March 2023 trip to Pittsburgh, my wife and I had an unforgettable dining experience. The fire-grilled steaks were cooked to perfection, delivering incredible flavor, while the Tres leches dessert was a delicious, memorable treat. It was truly the best meal we’ve ever had—an easy 10/10.”
“If you love good food and a tremendous beer selection, look no further. The Bloody Mary’s are pretty good too.”

“I love the staff here! They are always so nice and funny also.tjeu remember my husband and Is ordera and always make them perfect. Yes it's pricey but it's Starbucks in a casino what do you expect exactly!? I come here once or twice a week depending on when I start work as it's the closest to my job and bus stop. Can't say enough they are wonderful!”
“A huge thank you to our waitress, Damikka! She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and thoughtful. She anticipated everything we needed before we even had a chance to ask, making our experience truly enjoyable. Her excellent service and positive attitude made our visit to IHOP so much better. We really appreciate her professionalism and kindness!”
“Food was amazing. Location is awful. Came out after dinner and our car was smeared with ketchup packets. Wish it was in a different area, would definitely go back. Feel the area is not safe.”
“The food was delicious, I just wish I would have some pictures to show everyone. Service was outstanding, being attentive answering our questions; but not hovering. I can't wait to go again!”
“First time ever experiencing a twin peaks. Many of my friends and family have raved about other locations so when we saw one on our travels we decided to stop in. Here is my review in honesty: I know today was a big game day but we came in early to avoid that and potentially have a nice lunch. We told them that it was our first time, we weren’t told we had to scan for the menu until we looked down and saw that. Service was prompt but their customer service attitude was poor. When our food arrived the girl who brought it placed it on the other side of the table to where we had to grab it and place it in front of us. Our waitress seemed drab and seemed like we were wasting her time which isn’t exactly the best when someone is coming there the first time. Now the food itself was great, the decor was lovely put together but they need to work with their staff on being more personable. They weren’t smiling, talkative, they were in their phones, bartenders were complaining loudly. Honestly I felt like I was at a low budget Hooters mixed with the attitude of a Dicks. I would absolutely recommend this place for the food but not for the customer service.”
Takeout Restaurants
“I suppose this place needs another 5 star rating...either way they deserve it. Come early in the day (say 3-430) to beat evening rush. A history of the place is on the back wall as you wait or after you get your ice cream. Parking is available. They serve arctic swirls which are amazing (think a Blizzard but better). Pages is another classic must when you visit Pittsburgh.”
“My family went for lunch on Saturday, the place was absolutely packed! And for good reason, the food was absolutely delicious! And the service we received from our waiter was perfect. Elijah was very attentive and always happy to meet my toddlers many requests 😅 Also would like to add that even though they were super busy, it took them less than 10 minutes to get us seated and the food didn’t take long to come out at all. All the food was hot and fresh, even the strawberries were freshly cut. We will definitely be spending many more breakfast and lunch dates here!”
“Had dinner here last week with several others for the first time. The owners are SO kind! They explained details and answered our questions to find the exact dishes we all wanted. The food was beyond fantastic!!! The flavors and spices were just right for each of us, and we will definitely be back!!!!”
“Yaba's is my favorite restaurant! We don't live close so we take a cooler and buy extra to take home. Their food is incredible, the people who run it and work there are very friendly and kind, and the atmosphere is fun and inviting. I look forward to a Yaba's trip everytime we're in the city!”
“What a warm welcome! Naomi was superb and the food was delicious! And so filling! Nothing like this at home in Roc, NY. Glad we left the resort for the local engagement and hidden gem of McGaheysville. Couldn’t leave without their merch! Charlene & Greg”
“our server Nimra - outstanding drinks - Yummy food - exceptionall overall experience - price less”
“During our March 2023 trip to Pittsburgh, my wife and I had an unforgettable dining experience. The fire-grilled steaks were cooked to perfection, delivering incredible flavor, while the Tres leches dessert was a delicious, memorable treat. It was truly the best meal we’ve ever had—an easy 10/10.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Love this place, great atmosphere, great ingredients that make great smoothies. I recommend the brewed awakening smoothie, very very good. Would add pictures to this review, but I drink my smoothies from here way too fast and forgot :)”
“the quality of everything is top notch the staff and customers alike are always friendly and the atmosphere always the most heavy in the lightest most amazing way possible...and I suck at pinball but the gods will me to play so play I must!.lol never a bad time ever!”

“Stopped in for a mid-afternoon bite. Excellent server Vanessa even got the drink recipe for us!”

“We need more places like this. If you want delicious food, great atmosphere at reasonable prices you won't be disappointed. We ordered hummus, bubba ganoush and 3 Samsas and shared one entree. The beef is butter soft and delicious. The garlic potatoes my favorite part of the dish. It was finished with arugula, tomato and onion salad with balsamic vinaigrette. Portions are generous enough to share. We ate until we were full and still took away enough for lunch the next day. All of this for $50.”
Fine Dining
“we were there last Thursday to celebrate my birthday and also my bfs as they are on the same day. we heard nothing but good things. Pasta was cold, filet not prepared correctly then given back to me burnt on the outside and raw on the inside. We were so very disappointed. $200 wasted and I walked away hungry. Really don't think we would ever try again. On to another top restaurant in the city.”
“My wife booked this place for our anniversary and it was a spectacular night. Autumn was our server and she went over the top to accommodate us. The salmon was the best my wife has ever had and the lamb chops cooked to perfection! Make sure you order the Crab Fried rice & the asparagus! And the Butter Cake!!!”
“Wendy my serve felt like a friend (I just moved to PGH & was dining alone). She was kind & professional. A true gem! She made excellent suggestions and even though it was close to close, she was happy to help me. There was no rush, truly fine dining class. Loved the decor of the restaurant, especially the Mister Rogers portrait. 5 star service & food all the way.”
“Best Japanese restaurant in the burgh? Might be. Been here 3 times so far and highly recommended the full Omakase with the sake pairing, the hand rolls for a custom mix and match experience, and the treasure box. The main differentiator from other similar restaurants by far is the fish quality and attention to detail. The fish here is incredibly fresh and is prepared with accompaniments that suit each bite perfectly.
View is incredible, very nice at sunset.
Wait staff have all been very nice and helpful in making a good experience and guiding the choices of my non-sushi eating mom when I’ve brought her. I have tried bites of the cooked main dishes she has gotten, and while they are good too, they do not stand out in the way the sushi options do.
That being said you can’t go wrong here, there is something for everyone to enjoy. Extensive drink options too, I’m a fan of the Junmai Ginjo options they have.”
“We have been fortunate to partner with Bella Christie for about 10 years now. When it was time to plan our 30th-anniversary celebration and we needed an active station, Bella Christie was our top choice! The cotton candy machine was a huge hit, equipped with glow wands! We are eagerly looking forward to having Bella Christie at our next club event!”
“Went for the first time last night, had the Escargot and the French Onion Soup. They both were amazing, the Soup was actual the star was suprised by how good it was. Their Chef cut for the week was a filet mignon, bone marrow, and pomme frites. Steak was done perfectly and everything else real went well together. The Soufflé was worth the wait, highly suggest to try if it is your first time coming.”
“Golden Gai restaurant serves Japanese foods. My husband and I had a reservation for dinner at the bar counter. We ate the ginger salad, spicy tuna rice cake, spicy scallop maki roll, nigiri plate, and matcha misu. We thought that the quality was good but did not quite match the higher price point.”
“Always delicious! Meghan and Barry where awesome servers and the food was top notch!”
“Not the same as it was, but the new owner is passionate and the staff is top notch. I miss some of the charm of the old vibe, but the Pub is in the hands of someone who appears to care about the place, while following her own vision. Still one of the best spots to grab a Guinness, eat a little (good) pub food and share a good conversation.”
Cheap Eats
“This is a special place. Liege waffles are very different than anything I've ever had. They are made from a yeast dough, with caramelized brown sugar inside, smallish, and served warm in a napkin so that you can take it with you while window shopping. Please note: these are not meant to be served with ice cream on top. The ice cream and waffles are both very good by themselves. The owner only serves them together because people ask for that, but I think they ask for it because they think that's how it's meant to be served. (At least, that's what we thought!)”
“I tried 1:11 Juice Bar at the August Wilson Birthday Block Party. It was the drink everybody wanted. It was so fresh and good. I bought 4 and took a picture with my family drinking ours. I mean it was THAT fresh. And the flavors were unique. I’ve been looking for the page and now I found it! Just wanted to thank you guys and get some more juice!”
“I made a mistake/fopar with my rating. I am rating Live Fresh a 10 ⭐️’s. I was a small business in distress during the draft. Live Fresh (Devlin) were very chivalrous, stepped in & reached out to assist GridIron Swag outside of their establishment. That goes to show what’s inside of the company. Good caring people = Pgh. I had to try the Super Bowl & the Green Goddess drink. I was embraced with kindness & feed with tasteful healthy food, Live Fresh is the whole package of a true community business. I am so appreciative of their ethics, morals & community concern as an actual real business that cares & demonstrates that concern for community. A woman owned, black owned minority business. They could teach other businesses a thing or two.”
“Clean ,friendly and delicious.”
“For this cold, there is nothing like healthy Thai food and their soups that are so replenishing and delicious 😋. To start, some vegetarian rolls with cabbage, jengibre, pickled vegetables with garlic accompanied by a sauce with sesame and pecans, a flower and herb tea prepared by them uffff!!! Incredible!!! And the food and the Wonton Soup were the best!!! RECOMMENDED "Thai Me Up" ❤️👍”
“I want to thank my niece Nickole Love Nader . She is the owner and baker of Baked With Love. Her and one of her staff members did an amazing job on decorating this delicious cake for my father-in-law‘s birthday. Her baked goods are absolutely amazing. The staff at this bakery are very pleasant.”
“Another awesome spot for food in the strip district! This is a place to get both Polish classic hot foods as well as other imported items like candy, drinks, teas, meat, and so much more. I got to try their cheddar potato pierogies as well as a chocolate wafer, apricot drink, and kvas from the store part.
The pierogies were great. Warm and fluffy on the inside. Filled to the brim with potato and cheese. A bit oily, though. Good amount of onion on top without being overwhelming, and a solid price for the portion. Definitely delicious.
And, all the items from the store were great too. The wafer was pretty basic for the price, but still good. Great apricot drink, super refreshing. And the kvas…I missed this a lot. So good, great price honestly.
All in all, definitely stop by if you are in the Strip District!”
“Tonight we ate at the Urban Tap. Our server Jenna was not only delightful. She was on top of every order both drinks and food. Clearing the table quickly. Filling drinks. And very personable to speak with. I would not only recommend this place to anyone. I would recommend her specifically as your server if possible.”
“Definitely not for the faint or older generations. Food was amazing. Vibe definitely geared towards younger millennial/gen-z crowd. I’m a Xennial and I loved every second of it. Definitely coming back. Food accurately priced for the quality. And my drink came in a zebra glass! Dancing shark was a fun bonus too. Haha.”
“The gluten free menu is perfect for someone with celiacs! Delicious food, friendly staff, and delicious drinks.”

The service at the Market is outstanding and it was so nice to also meet Andrew the owner. I am looking forward to coming back again and getting more of this high quality and delicious Italian Food that reminded me so much of what my Mommy used to make. I highly recommend them.”
“I frequent this restaurant often. I came in last week and requested a few items substituted on my salad due to dietary restrictions. Toi ensured that my food came out correctly and didn’t make it seem like I was asking for too much (unlike serves in the past)! Now that’s GREAT service! She also is hilarious and she is a ball of energy! I will be back soon, and I only want Toi as a server moving forward! Thank you again, Toi!”
“What a wonderful experience while visiting Pittsburgh! Unique menu with the most scrumptious flavors! The desserts are to die for! You can tell the food is farm to table and pure! I will be back each time we visit!”
“We had so much fun trying all of the dishes on our list (we chose 5). Don't over order, ask the staff for recommendations on portions for your group size. We did this and thank goodness! We had more than enough with variety and meal sizes. Great beer and wine selections as well!”
“Delicious and authentic cuisine cooked by a great chef with a superb staff. We will return!”
“I’ve been enjoying Mexican cuisine for over 50 years, but I must say that Tepache is hands down the best, most authentic, flavorful of them all. The service is spot on and their selections of house made margaritas are all amazing. Don’t look any further. Just go here”
“My family and friends celebrated my retirement at Storms last night. The food and service were incredible! Thank you to Stephanie and her team for a fantastic evening! If you haven’t checked out Storms yet, you REALLY must! Fantastic, authentic Italian food!💕”
“My fiancee and have been here multiple times since opening. The service and food has always been excellent.”
“Mezcal Cantina is hands down my go-to spot for Mexican food in Pittsburgh. The tacos are consistently amazing, and the margaritas are always on point. My personal favorite is the Quesabirria tacos, they’re incredibly flavorful, perfectly cooked, and seriously satisfying every time. On top of that, the service is always great, which makes the whole experience even better. If you’re looking for a place with great food, drinks, and service, this is it!”
“My husband got the Chimichurri steak and egg hash. He will not stop talking about it. He gives it a 5/5. Service was good too.”
“Came in on a Friday evening and was pleased to find a relaxing atmosphere. Everything is clean and crisp. Wish I had taken pictures but we ate everything too quickly. Favorite flavors were the pork steam soup (Xiao long bao), the spicy diced chicken noodle soup (hand pulled noodles!), the Kung pan chicken, and highly recommend the steamed pork buns. Will return 😀”
“Finally had a chance to stop in and have dinner, I wish I had come sooner. The staff was friendly and courteous. The food and presentation were excellent. Definitely stop in if you in the area.”
“we were there last Thursday to celebrate my birthday and also my bfs as they are on the same day. we heard nothing but good things.

“Fabulous dinner, unique menu, we had Fried Green Tomato Sandwich, Guinness Roast Beef, Fish and Chips, and Salmon, then shared the Bread pudding, all was excellent!”
“My wife booked this place for our anniversary and it was a spectacular night. Autumn was our server and she went over the top to accommodate us. The salmon was the best my wife has ever had and the lamb chops cooked to perfection! Make sure you order the Crab Fried rice & the asparagus! And the Butter Cake!!!”
“One of our top 5 restaurants in our decades of eating out! Inventive, unique, and well crafted cocktails to the Porchetta and Crab Trophie to the amazing Creme Brulee and affagato...All top notch! These chefs know what they are doing!!! Unfortunately, they aren't open on Sundays when we are normally in town otherwise we'd be here monthly!”
“We go to this Melting Pot at least four times a year. Each time is a wonderful experience. Today, however, we were beyond blown away by the best service we've ever had. Hanna was our server and she truly is exceptional! She made everything perfect! The food is always tasty and plentiful. In addition, Amanda, the manager is phenomenal! I still can't figure out how she remembers us each time we come to dine. This is a testament to her customer service skills and professionalism. Thank you Hanna, Amanda, and the entire team who work behind the scenes ensuring a dining experience second to none. See you in April for my birthday.”
“Went out with friends to Top Pot &KBBQ and it was great. There were so many options to pick for both the BbQ and hot pot. I really enjoyed the tom yum hot pot with shrimp, enoki, bean sprouts, sea weed, carrots, calamari, red snapper and some beef. The pork belly was super good on the bbq as well. The staff was really friendly and very helpful. After we couldn’t eat any more, we found out about the ice cream. The matcha ice cream was really really good. We were talking about coming back before we even left the restaurant. I can’t wait to come back, so I can try more stuff off the menu. The price is also definitely worth it. It’s a great place.”
“Loved the Strawberry Fields chicken salad, the chicken bacon Ranch Piadina, and the Pizookie Trio was so decadent! Dustin B.was our server. polite, professional, helpful and friendly. Ask for him when you stop in!”
“My husband & I are regulars! Delicious authentic Korean soups & dishes and the sushi & sashimi are amazing! You must try the Love Boat & hwoi dop bap! Owner & all staff are simply the best!!”
“Beyond delicious. I was craving bun cha after my last trip to Hanoi and Maiku Vietbamese Pho did not disappoint! The pork was cooked wonderfully and the spring rolls were way bigger than expected. Would revisit!”
“Wendy my serve felt like a friend (I just moved to PGH & was dining alone). She was kind & professional. A true gem! She made excellent suggestions and even though it was close to close, she was happy to help me. There was no rush, truly fine dining class. Loved the decor of the restaurant, especially the Mister Rogers portrait. 5 star service & food all the way.”
“Can’t wait to go back. One of my favorites places in Pittsburgh”
“Great food , amazing vibes , and even better professional staff 🔥”
“We had a great lunch!! Service was excellent. The food came out quickly! Will definitely come here again!”

“My wife and I made brunch reservations and were looking forward to exploring the area. I ordered a Bistro Bloody Mary which was great, real smooth and not overly acidic like others I have had. My beloved ordered the Lavender Lemonade light and refreshing. Perfect for the summer day. She had the Eggs Benedict on toasted Wolferman's English muffin, Canadian bacon, poached egg and hollandaise garnished with chive. The Eggs Benedict is outstanding. Perfectly poached egg, the Canadian bacon delivered the right amount of salt and the hollandaise brought it all together. I enjoyed the steak and eggs with beef tenderloin tips cooked medium rare with two eggs your choice and smothered with chipotle chimichurri that is absolutely out of this world. Both of our entrees were served with twice cooked red potatoes. Baked on a bed of sea salt then smashed and lighly fried. These amazing potatoes became a star on menu. After eating one, I knew this beyond a doubt. They are lite and fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Fantastic job chef! The wait staff is attentive with their service. The chef a true professional. We spoke with the owner Greg and he was gracious enough to give us a little history and point out some things that made Bistro 19 special. I sampled a delicious buttermilk biscuit and even a touch of their signature sage and maple sausage gravy. Bistro 19 is true gem. Dinner reservations are coming soon.”
“This place has an AMAZING whiskey selection. Plus the atmosphere is great, the bar tenders are super attentive and it’s just an all around great place.”
“Really great setup. Staff is fantastic, extremely customer focused and present. The place has a nice blend of authenticity but it is also run like a proper business that wants you to come back and not a bar that just exists to serve the owner's friends and a handful of regulars.”
“This was really phenomenal. I had the chicken tikka masala and it was so flavorful, it was amazing. Two weeks later and I’m still thinking about it 😂 the staff there were super sweet and very helpful as well :)”
“So, Red Lobster in Pleasant Hills was clean and had a menu with many options. I chose the shrimp skewers and added a scallop one. They were tasty. I added a side of Brussel sprouts. They were delicious. The biscuits were good. The baked potato was done well. All of the staff were friendly . It’s worth a return visit to try the Salmon Bowl or maybe the flounder.”
“The assistant manager Gabriel is the most kind and caring man; he exceeds expectations of a restaurant manager by a long shot! This modern Mexican restaurant showboats Mexican pride, while having more than reasonable prices. Food was cooked perfectly and quickly, it felt like we just ordered. I cannot recommend this place enough; the delicious margaritas are an added bonus too. Nothing but positive vibes over here! Huge shout out to our server Fran for being so great with my toddler! He went the extra mile engaging with my child, to the point of my son smiling and giggling every time he came back.”
“Solid spot with a loyal local crowd, live music, and deep roots. Great vibe, good drinks. Highly recommend.”
“100% Amazing food and top notch service!!! Our waitress was amazing!”
“Bosphorus has the tastiest lamb kebabs, as well as an interesting selection of different types of grilled lamb and chicken, served with a delicious salad, sauce and rice. There are great vegetarian options, too and the owner/server has a great memory for your preferences. Outdoor seating was pleasantly shaded, and indoor is of course also available.”
“Excellent food, Great service, very clean place. Prices are amazingly low. Had Dinner today and felt really satisfied. Can comfortably conclude that it is perhaps one of the three best Indian Restaurants in Pittsburgh!”
“Ok so 2026 April my girlfriend and I visited this restaurant Kim E our server was such a wonderful lady made the experience so great, also wanted to give a honorable mention to the chef a black fellow I didn’t catch his name came out and greeted himself and served us our food was one of my favorite parts of the experience will most definitely be returning soon this has been the best restaurant experience of 2026 for me”
“Food was great, the prices were awesome. The server was not friendly and the service could be improved (she did not seem happy to serve us and was in a bad mood)”
“This is the kind of place that I don't really want to rate that high because I want to keep it to myself. but they need ratings so that they can keep their doors open. so that I can enjoy this food for a long time to come. which is the best. and boba tea is Two Doors. it's an all-in-one white girls dream”
“We went to G’s for our anniversary and it was an absolutely delightful experience. Great quiet and cozy atmosphere, stellar service, and incredible food and drinks. Every dish was full of flavor and the textures were all beautifully done. Even the bread basket was amazing with maple butter. It felt like a 5 star dining experience for a reasonable person. Excited to go back again soon.”
“Great food and drink! Had the best burger and watermelon mimosa! staff was super friendly!”
“Such a great place! Very chill vibe, people are friendly, and the outdoor space is fantastic. They are dog-friendly, so expect to see some pups. Don't skip the house-made pickled eggs, because they're delicious. Great beer selection too! Parking is pretty rough, but it's a bit of the wild west on the side streets, so you can usually 'make' a spot haha.”
“Great staff, affordable, quick service, very accommodating to special requests, great coffee-I love this place. I used to go about 2-3 times a week before it became super popular. I highly recommend it! I only wish the tutti frutti wasn’t seasonal, but that’s because they only use berries when they’re in season…so that ones on mother nature”
“The steaks are sometimes to heavily seasoned the mushrooms you get with your steak if you ask are horrible. Not grilled just steamed ? Taste like out of a can.
Firecracker shrimp are good . Last time my wife's ny strip seemed kinda of a thin cut for ny strip. Taste was ok but again heavy on seasoning. Strawberry pecan salad is also amazing. So they have some great options for sides and appetizers for the price though wish the steak was better.”
“What a cool place! Thanks for hosting our Robert Burns Night!”
“We had a fantastic experience! Early before dinner cocktail as well as after dinner dessert cocktail! Cam definitely knows what he is doing, great bar tender! This is one of our favorite places to visit for drinks in Pittsburgh. Definitely worth a stop for a fun cocktail, wine or beer. Heja Sverige! 🇸🇪”
“I love this place. I can’t say enough about it, the service, the portions, the grade of fish I was served, everything is always spot on. I’d recommend the seaweed salad and the sushi and sashimi platter.”
“Bar Marco did an amazing job for our wedding. The food is so good that all of our vendors were thrilled when we told them the venue, and our guests similarly raved. The staff took the time to know our order of events and requests and accommodated accordingly. Highly recommend.”
“The tonkatsu ramen was amazing! The sushi had generous cuts of fresh, melt in your mouth salmon. Service was very friendly and welcoming. Go there!”
“First time dining at Ranucci's and it will not be the last. We were greeted by the owner upon arriving. Very friendly and very inviting. Our waiter was also very friendly and ver attentive. The food portions were very big and absolutely delicious. We started with a beet salad and it was so good. I had the CC's veal with crab cakes and my friend had the Sunday gravy. Both dishes were delicious and the red sauce on the Sunday gravy was out of this world. We had a tiramisu for dessert and again, it was outstanding. For a nice evening out, give them a try.”
“Visiting Pittsburgh over the weekend and couldn’t miss our Buckeyes vs TTUN. Mike’s Beer Bar was recommended, and it was hands down one of the best game day bar experiences we’ve ever had. The atmosphere was incredible, drink menu (both on tap and cans) showing a plethora of choices to satisfy anyone, and great food. The staff was second to none and very friendly as well. Already looking forward to our next visit!”
“We drive 40 minutes just to go here! The food is delicious and service has always been amazing! Would highly recommend!”

“We were a party of 5 and the staff was very polite. They seated us almost immediately on a Sunday morning and the coffe was very hot and fresh. Our food was very good and the blueberry hotcakes were outstanding. Bacon and potatoes were delicious, This was a hidden gem for breakfast we accidentally found and can’t wait to go back from Morgantown, WV”
“I live around the corner from Cilantro & Ajo & somehow have missed it for who knows how long (becsuse I always the other direction on Carson). A great discovery. Food that's not American, a little exotic -- not trying hard to be fancy. A fun place. I had the Reina Pepiada Arepa & would have it again. Flan for dessert. Very good. On Sunday they have a meaty soup that is reserved for Sunday & which reminded me of when I lived in Nicaragua for two months, many years ago, with a family. This soup was a Sunday special for the family.”
“We won a gift certificate from my favorite non-profit, Hilltop Horizons.org I didn't know I liked Cider until we stopped at the Brewery at Soergels in Wexford. We tasted several samples before we ordered a growler that was perfect for 2 of us. We sat inside as it was a bit windy that day. There is great outside seating as well. There were board games available to play and great views of the farm. We tried the sorbet on the way out. It was delicious!! We also picked up a 6 pack to enjoy later. This would be a great place for family fun or just for 2. I love to find local small businesses that support each other and the community! We will definitely be back.”
“I love the amount of real spices they use in their curries. I can tell that the restaurant has a great quality of food. I am very sensitive to (hot) spices, but I want to enjoy the flavors of Indian food. If I ask for a 0 the spice level feels too hot for me. Last time I came, I asked for them to adjust the spice level to be milder than 0. They were able to reduce the heat in the dish to levels I could handle without reducing the flavor. I have not dined in at this restaurant, but enjoy the ambience of the place. It is clean and the decor is eye catching.”
“This was my first time going there. I've heard so much about them now. I live just down the street from them. I had ordered the chicken ranch and bacon sandwich. The sandwich was horrible. It had a 1 a piece of bacon on it that looked like it was sitting around for about a week. It was soggy and black and dark. Now, we all know. Bacon is supposed to be crispy if I didn't ask for the onions, I guess that's all that would have been on. There would be just the bacon in the sauce. The sandwich was called and so was the fries. The fries did not have any salt on them. All I can say is that it was horrible. And I will not be going back again. I do not understand how they got 4 or 5 stars.”

“Food was outstanding but the service was absolutely over the top. Our main server “CC” made our visit memorable and special. Her second in command Stephanie just added to the evening. These two young ladies can write the book on customer service. A dining experience above all expectations.”

“Riley and the gang are roasting and serving up the best coffee in the city. You can always expect super chill vibes, a diverse pour over menu, and the occasional seasonal specialty drink that will alter your brain chemistry forever. These guys love coffee and it shows. The weekend line might be long, but it’s absolutely worth the wait!”
“We ordered a whole cheesecake for delivery and it tasted so good but there were a couple things. The driver let us know that it cracked on the drive over and said they refunded the delivery fee because of that. That is totally fine and I appreciated it! The only thing that bothered me is that my cheesecake is underbaked and the very center is really just soup. It still tasted perfect and we're going to eat all of it, just wanted to mention it. It's just a little disappointing because we've had their cheesecake before and know that it can be better.”
“Came in on a Friday evening and was pleased to find a relaxing atmosphere. Everything is clean and crisp. Wish I had taken pictures but we ate everything too quickly. Favorite flavors were the pork steam soup (Xiao long bao), the spicy diced chicken noodle soup (hand pulled noodles!), the Kung pan chicken, and highly recommend the steamed pork buns. Will return 😀”
“Today, I participated in the introduction Sourdough101 baking class at Third Space Bakery even though I don’t have any prior bread making experience. It was truly an awesome experience that I will never forget. Nick Webster and Beth Taylor and Doug Heilman were exceptional teachers and worked closely with me to make sure I understood and followed along with the class. Nick took the time to answer my questions during class and even took the time to talk to me after class. He also wrote a simple explanation on why I do so well with Third Space Vegan Sourdough bread compared to other sourdough breads I’ve tried in the past. When I emailed Nick asking for him to convert the recipes and text to an alternative format that I’m able to read without any problems.
The Hibiscus sparking water was refreshing and paired up beautifully with the vegan sourdough, nuts and dried apricot. I have no idea what olive oil and Balsamic Vinegar Beth mixed together however it was truly the best I’ve ever had! I can’t wait to tell all my friends and family about this awesome class. I can’t wait to come back to advanced sourdough class that’s coming up.”
“Went out with friends to Top Pot &KBBQ and it was great. There were so many options to pick for both the BbQ and hot pot. I really enjoyed the tom yum hot pot with shrimp, enoki, bean sprouts, sea weed, carrots, calamari, red snapper and some beef. The pork belly was super good on the bbq as well. The staff was really friendly and very helpful. After we couldn’t eat any more, we found out about the ice cream. The matcha ice cream was really really good. We were talking about coming back before we even left the restaurant. I can’t wait to come back, so I can try more stuff off the menu. The price is also definitely worth it. It’s a great place.”

“A group of 5 of us visited Dish last night and the meals were amazing. Grilled Squid, the best I have ever had. Where else can you find it not breaded and fried? Add to that their amazing sardines so fresh and good. Pasta Funghi another high. Exquisite detail to taste in every dish. The owners go way out of their way to make you feel welcomed and happy and very satisfied. A must visit when you are lucky enough to get a reservation though other friends have happily sat at the bar for dinner just to be there!! Kudos to Dish!”
