Finleyville Restaurants

Excellent service and food. I ordered the pessimist Cabernet and my husband got the VIP martini. For food I got the shrimp cocktail, my husband got the wedge salad, we both got the truffle bone in filet special with Alaskan crab, creamed spinach for the side and butter cake for dessert. Everything was really incredible. It was one of the best steaks I have had. And the butter cake is next level. We had two managers check in to see how everything was. I highly recommend.

Our first experience will not be our last! We live a few hours away and planned a weekend getaway. Everything from the ambiance, service, and food was impeccable! Check in and valet were seamless. Sitting on the swings waiting to be called to our table was a total vibe! We were seated below the bar right at the entrance. At first I had really wished we were upstairs but the food and ambiance made me forget right away! We started with the bread board appetizer which was delivered by one of the managers, Shakur. This impressed me because he was interacting with the guests and you could tell he wanted to make sure our experience was satisfactory! The breads were delicious and the spreads were perfect compliments! I had the haddock and my husband had the lobster mac and cheese. We were expecting small portions for the fine dining price—we were WRONG! We were shocked at how much food arrived and we had to box up a big portion of everything (appetizer, meals, dessert) that we ordered. To finish, we had to order the Pittsburgh cookie table! Were the cookies the best cookies we’ve ever had? No. Am I still glad we ordered it? Absolutely! I especially liked the heart shaped cookies. They were delicious! I must try brunch next!

We went for lunch on Valentine’s Day. It was pretty crowded but everything ran very smoothly. The food, which was excellent, came out quickly. Our waiter, Jeffrey, has been there a long time and does a great job. Efficient and personal service and great food is a winning combination, especially on a busy holiday.

Our first experience at Arlecchino’s was even better than we anticipated. Our server, Skye, was outstanding! She took a little time to give us a menu tour and also was able to answer our questions and make great recommendations. We decided to get one of each for the salad and pasta courses and both options for each were delicious. The cacio e pepe prepared at the table in the Romano cheese wheel was out of this world! It’s important to know that this is NOT ALFREDO. It’s way better! The chicken Monzu was also delicious and the Jester prepared veal chop was insanely huge and amazing. We also got the raspberry almond tiramisu for dessert and it was delicious as well. We really enjoyed our first experience and can’t wait to go back again.

We have dined around the world, Michelin stars, celebrity chefs, yadda, yadda, yadda. That said, this was the most perfect dining experience I can recall, MAYBE since an outing to Le Bernardin a decade ago - but different from that in every way. The space, the ambiance - exuding the warmth of a tavern - the quality of the directly sourced ingredients, the impeccable preparation (including PERFECT technique on some oft-challenging game meats) and most of all, the SERVICE, could not have been more perfect. Not stuffy, not pretentious - just down to earth people who know what they’re doing and what to do it with - letting the ingredients speak for themselves. Outstanding. And a special shout out to Johnny - host, waiter, bartender extraordinaire. Bravo!
