    Seated in the Emperor room. Alla Famiglia is more expensive than many restaurants we’ve tried in the Pittsburgh area. However, the quantity and quality of the food make it an outstanding value. This was our first and certainly won’t be our last dinner here!

    My wife and I decided to celebrate her birthday at Eleven. We were not disappointed. Everything was wonderful! We started early with $9 cocktails at the bar. We had Martinis with Plymouth Gin for only $9. They were great! Then we got $9 glasses of wine to take to our table. We ordered oysters to start, and they tasted so fresh, sweet & briny. My wife had the pork chop and I had the radiatori. They were both delicious. Finally, we had the Trio of Ice Creams with very rich & creamy vanilla bean, lavender honey, & maple brown walnut butter. They were all so good. Nick, our server was excellent too. He never rushed us, but he seemed to be always there to ask if everything was OK and if we needed anything.

    AWESOME! We enjoyed a great dinner last night at Mezzo! We hadn't been there in a while. Since our last visit some new things were added to the menu and we decided to try three of them. We had the small plates of the lump crab cakes, and short rib and we shared the gnocchi with vodka sauce! The crab cakes were delicious and the side of aioli really made them shine! The short rib, bar none, was literally melt-in-your-mouth spectacular!!!!! The vodka sauce on the gnocchi had a hint of "spice" and the wilted spinach in the sauce made for another fabulous dish!!! A shout out to Jeffrey our server to Mike the manager and a BIG SHOUT OUT to the kitchen!!! Great job everyone!! Many thanks from this foodie!!!

    Fantastic time! I brought 4 friends who had never been to The Melting Pot before. They were impressed. Tip: Check the menu before your visit. For first time visitors it can be a little confusing. ****
